Restaurants across Los Angeles have to comply with an extensive web of health regulations, yet unsanitary street food carts can seemingly operate while bypassing many of those same requirements.
At some point, that disparity raises a legitimate question: why are similarly situated food businesses being subjected to materially different enforcement standards? The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees equal protection of the laws, even if proving an Equal Protection violation requires more than simply showing inconsistent enforcement.

This woke me up this am, a text from my uncle. “Everyone is complaining that baseball is broken because the Dodgers got Tarik Skubal.”
Bruce Harper says it best here.
I don’t remember people complaining about a needed salary cap in MLB when the Yankees were winning 4 World Series in five years between 1996-2000.
But the Dodgers start winning World Series, which they had not won for 32 years, a span from 1988-2020, and now everyone wants a salary cap and is complaining. Thats called an East Coast Bias. 💯
It’s not the Dodgers fault, as Bryce says, that they have perfected everything. Their farm system is the best, their tv contract is the best, their players are the best and fit the mold they are looking for. They have one of the best stadiums and their tradition is right up there with the Yankees and Red Sox.
The Tigers made a terrible trade. Zyhir Hope is just another Raul Mondesi/Yasiel Puig player. He wasn’t even in their top 3 rookie outfielders like De Paula, Tibbs and Sirota. And, River Ryan and Brady Smith have already both had Tommy John surgeries in their young careers.
The Dodgers were thought to have at least given up Emmet Sheehan, a ready MLB pitcher AND the prospects. Nope!
Every other team like the Yankees, Braves, Cubs, Brewers, Phillies and Red Sox could have made an offer, a better offer, but they chose not to.
MLB doesn’t need a salary cap what they need is for Major League Baseball to take control of all the teams TV rights and then distribute the money from those deals evenly across baseball, not just a percentage, but evenly. It’s those TV contracts where you see the biggest disparity and that would take care of that disparity immediately.
Don’t blame the Dodgers because they have perfected everything. Blame other teams for running a poor organization.
I waited 32 years for this. I’ll enjoy it.

Yup, they're just there to collect the paycheck from MLB. They will never pay their own talent when it's due.

Mookie Betts traded bc Red Sox were cheap with their extension
Braves chose Olson over Freeman
Angels refused to win around Ohtani
Yankees wouldn’t pay Yamamoto more than Cole
Arte vetoed a Pages trade
Rays didn’t want to pay Glasnow
Cardinals gave up on Edman
A’s DFA’d Max Muncy
& now Tigers refused to pay Tarik Skubal.
These baseball GMs make it too easy.
