He's a co-owner, the other guy (and CEO) is the former cop

Kyle Kazan is an American businessman who is the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Glass House Brands Inc., a publicly traded cannabis company listed on the NEO Exchange and OTC Markets. He is also a founder and chairman of Beach Front Property Management, Inc. and co-founder and managing member of Beach Front Properties, LLC. Kazan has also served as a special education teacher at LAUSD and a police officer at the Torrance Police Department.

Apparently, the farm owner is a former cop. A former cop who had been in a labor dispute with workers over overtime and missed wages

Ugh...I hate every part of that

I picture Superman as crashing into Kansas in like the '30s, maybe with a bit of a slippery time scale. No way it was in the '90s... But I don't know enough about Superman to argue the point, I just find the idea really unsettling

Well, more like I think he predates the surveillance state, and by virtue of growing up in Kansas he's an American and no one would consider thinking otherwise (all of this legal/illegal nonsense is pretty new historically)

I'm not trying to split hairs, but I like to spread reminders that people live where they live, and the idea you can live in a county illegally is inhuman

It's not real, so empathy is not required. Cartoons often have horrifying implications if you look too closely, because they're not trying to represent reality

If you're putting yourself in the place of the mother pig, you're zoomed in to far. The absurdism is in the situation

Think of it this way, if the reason for the child dying was making some parallel to something real, like splitting the family due to deportation... That's something grounded in reality, it would be horrible

But there is no situation where doctors turn children into meat as a service. The premise is absurd. There's no danger a real person would ever go through this, this is pure fancy

The mother's reaction isn't to laugh at her pain, it's to let us sit with the moment and let the joke land

That is a weird aspect... Like the mental gymnastics required to subvert the actual message of Jesus requires so much magic and hundreds of years of killing anyone who read it unguided

You have to be kidding me... It's like they're not even trying

Yeah, well... Got room for 60 million immigrants?

Your saying it wrong

"Your honor, masked thugs were attempting to kidnap the very scared man. They also refused to identify themselves or explain the situation"

Well I'd take the destinations on the Shinkansen for wherever I'm going now...

I mean... I don't think the paperwork is going to account for spaceships. So... Put the spaceship in the barn, say you found him out in the field, and there's no fraud

Lies of omission don't count when you're dealing with the state

Doesn't mean the Kent's didn't lie, just that they might not have done anything fraudulently

Well, not anymore. Now we don't have coordinated rescues... Even in Texas, the Fed took 3 days to provide support, because it all has to be signed by Christi Nome and apparently she was busy

So... Maybe do show up? Who knows at this point. But ideally, with an RV or camping equipment, because where are the victims and professionals going to stay
