The problem — and this is a significant one — was that the company’s owners never received the proper permits from the California Coastal Commission or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which turned that “perfect environment” into an illegal one....
So right now with our current — trying to hire at $22 an hour, you’re never going to see another person again walk through those doors. That’s it," Smith said. “Unless you guys do a dramatic change.”
Smith stressed the urgency of the matter and said smaller police departments he has looked into pay at least $30 an hour.
I wonder if these cops support raising the minimum wage.

Im glad you liked it. Sincerely. I did too. but it is pretentious af to make a nuke scene in a movie about the father of the nuke, without CGI. Fullstop. He could just use very little cgi. Idk. But for me that scene was not a believable depiction of the trinity Test.
Seems to me like you were expecting a movie about the making of the atom bomb, when the movie was clearly focusing on the life of the man who created it.
Omg. You’re the second person to say this. I find this take hilarious. Maybe you’re right. But Am I really that out of bounds to expect The Trinity test to be a little more big?
It didn’t even look like the trinity test footage.
So yeah I had expectations, I expected a director who seems to be very concerned about historically accurate depictions… to depict the trinity test historically accurate.
It’s a big deal to me. Sorry.
As for the sound, in my theater everything sounded great, maybe just slightly too loud in some scenes. Could it be just a bad setup?
I saw it in 70mm imax as Christopher Nolan himself recommended. The sound was unbearable for many scenes.
So Im glad your theather was good but if mr.nolan cant make his movie sound decent in his recommend fomat. I think he should maybe turn it down alittle? Im not the first person to make this critque of this movies.
You said the film felt ultimately pretentious, that’s what I was responding to in that comment. Idk how this movie came off as pretentious considering the real world implications of his life.
People seem to be misunderstanding me here, i am saying Christopher Nolan is pretentious. not Oppenheimer the person. Not Oppenheimer’s actual life. I am not calling the events depicted inthe film pretentious.
Im calling the director, Christopher Nolan pretentious. specifically His chioce to make the movie so Loud it hurt my ears and was visibly uncomfortable other viewers.
But The main thing I find pretentious, is Nolan’s choice to not use CGI for the Trinity test scene.
I didnt even know this was the case when I went to the film. I was simply underwhelmed by the explosion in the scene. And later started googling the film only to find out that he didnt use CGI.
I dont care who you are. If you make movie about the Father of the nuke. The nuke scene should not be underwhelming. Thats my opinion at least.
There was a puffpiece written a few weeks ago where some staffer working for the Oppenheimer film stated that christopher nolan said, that he didnt like the two movies coming out at the same time. Who knows if this is true.
From there a bunch of forced probably fake drama has been floating around on the internet, where tabolids are trying to create a rivalry between the movies. Even ryan gosling and other unrelated celebrities commented on it. Most just stated that people can see two movies in one weekend.
Ultimately its probably just a marketing technique.
For me, i Just really like the idea of barbenhiemer.
I think the real question is could Oppenheimer get laid by Barbie.
We are about to open the door to a dangerous line of questions. But we must continue our research.
I think Oppenheimer would shoot his shot, and maybe even get a date with Barbie. but about 3/4 into the evening Barbie realizes he is more focused on himself and doesnt have the time or energy required for Barbie.
They still hook up. But barbie doesnt call him back later.
Oppenheimer still think about barbie from time to time.
