How did she become the interim mayor among all the candidates? Power brokers such as Willie Brown. Powerful families in SF?

Given that the crimes in SF have spiked during Covid, a flat police budget is de facto defunding [7]. To keep up with the crimes, police budget should increase proportionally as well. Otherwise, crimes will not be controlled.

London Breed also violated ethics seriously several times [5]. She asked the governor to release her brother who killed his own girlfriend [6].

London Breed is a bad mayor for SF. She defunded the police by $120 million during the movement [1] while she spent $12.4 million on her own personal security detail [2]. And now she pledges more police. It's a slap on her own face. She dances in a nightclub without a mask, breaking the very rule she set herself [3]. She partied at the French Laundry restaurant while she encouraged everyone else to shelter in place [4]. London Breed is a terrible mayor for SF. As the innovation center of the world, SF deserves better. Can anyone shed some light on how she got elected?

As a Canadian citizen myself, I firmly urge fellow Canadians to have their own independent thinking and policies. Canada should not be manipulated by foreign politicians. This is blatant interference of Canada's internal affairs by foreign politicians. If the US wants to fight China, Canada should not side with either. It is our best interest to stay neutral.

This time is quite different. When AMD beat Intel technologically, Intel still had the lead in process technology while AMD had better chip designs. Now, time has changed. TSMC leads Intel in process technology while AMD contracts TSMC to make chips. AMD will have both the advantages in chip design and process technology. It is more likely that Intel will fall further behind TSMC, as TSMC has been investing heavily (more than even Samsung).

As a matter of fact, semi-annual reporting is standard in Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It requires only semi-annual reporting, for long-term investing.

One thing that stands out is that Alibaba has 18 founders. It is almost unheard of in the west. Jack Ma is a true legend. He has a humble background and failed college entrance exam three times before being accepted into an ordinary school (Gates and Jobs entered school without much a problem).

Agreed. AMD is the real threat. Lisa Su has done everything right in turning around AMD. AMD was on the verge of bankruptcy. Lisa Su took it over and now AMD is come back to life.
Anyway, as a mayor, if London Breed promised to do something and she did not, it is a sign of incompetency. It erodes her own credibility.
