Liholiho Yacht Club Readies For Reopening at Long Last

Image
On Tuesday, November 22, Liholiho Yacht Club will make its debut for the third time — after originally opening on Lower Nob Hill in early 2015, pivoting in the pandemic to take over the 18th Street space that had housed a defunct sister restaurant, and now finally returning to its original home. It’s been a long road to getting back open for Liholiho Yacht Club. Much like another popular restaurant that just reopened, Delfina , it hasn’t served a meal in its proper home space since March 2020. After briefly serving takeout in mid 2020 and early 2021, chef/partner Ravi Kapur and his team decided to take over the space that had been home to the newer Dear Inga , which had only just opened in the fall of 2019 and didn’t survive. The space on 18th Street near Valencia, originally built out for Farina two decades ago, allowed for ample outdoor seating as the industry continued to grapple with lengthy pandemic restrictions. And in the bustling Mission, it has since made way for a

Elon Musk Says Vote GOP, Right As GOP Vows Boycotts Of Advertisers Who Leave Twitter

Image
It’s not surprising that Elon Musk continues his right-wing turn by tweeting that people should vote Republican in the midterms. What’s surprising is that people think he’s doing so out of principle rather than self-interest. One minor footnote to this weekend’s spectacular cacophony of fuck-ups at Elon Musk’s Twitter, as he tries to roll out new features with a thoroughly gutted staff, was Musk’s public tantrums over losing untold tens of millions of dollars in advertising revenue , right off the bat as he took over the company. “Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue,” Musk bellyached Saturday . “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.” Thank you. A thermonuclear name & shame is exactly what will happen if this continues. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 4, 2022 This “free speech” dog-whistle is catnip for the conservative victimhood complex, and right-wingers can feel Musk is “their guy” in allegedly woke Big Tech . So when a

EU eyes longer, negotiated debt reduction paths in rules review

REUTERS/Yves Herman/File Photo By Jan Strupczewski BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Commission will on Wednesday propose changes to the EU’s debt rules that would allow each of the bloc’s 27 countries to negotiate its own debt reduction path, the length of which would depend on reforms and investments, officials said. Changes to the rules are necessary because, after the surge in public debt in European Union countries caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, existing debt reduction requirements have become unrealistically ambitious. The current rule is that euro zone countries must cut debt every year by 1/20th of the excess above 60% of GDP – a tall order for Italy with debt of 148% of GDP or Greece with 186%. Officials said that under the EU executive’s p

REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov/File Photo MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s central bank said on Tuesday that retail foreign currency deposits dropped to a historical low by the start of the fourth quarter, while cash outflow from the banking system had almost stopped by the end of October. Increased demand at the central bank’s recent REPO auction was due to some banks’ “temporary” issues with managing liquidity, but the increase in the REPO limits should help to stabilise situation, it added.

LOS ANGELES — The gaming industry and Native American tribes are betting big on dueling ballot measures to legalize sports gambling in California, but voters  going to the polls Tuesday  may not want a piece of the action. Voters have been inundated with a blast stream of advertisements in what has become the most  expensive ballot initiative campaign in U.S. history  as backers seek to legalize sports gambling by allowing it at tribal casinos and race tracks or through mobile and online wagering. With a multibillion dollar market at stake, proponents raised nearly $600 million — more than 250% higher than the  record amount spent in 2020 by Uber, Lyft  and other app-based ride-hailing and delivery services to prevent drivers from becoming employees eligible for benefits and job protection. More than 30 other states allow sports betting , but gambling in California is currently limited to Native American casinos, horse tracks, card rooms and the state lottery. Proponents of the

Capital A to benefit from tightened economy: CEO Tony Fernandes

Image
Despite soaring oil prices and weakening currencies, the outlook for aviation remains positive due to “extremely strong” demand, said Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia parent company Capital A. “We’re looking to add 20 more aircraft to the fleet for the first time in a long, long time even before Covid,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Friday. What would be a “problem,” however, is getting the aviation group’s fleet back out of maintenance, Fernandes added. “In AirAsia we have 205 aircrafts and in AirAsia X we have about 20 aircrafts … getting slots and obviously getting them ready for service has been a big challenge.” The positive outlook comes in spite of negative market reactions to Fernandes’ resignation as AirAsia X’s Group CEO this week. AirAsia X is the long-haul budget flight arm of AirAsia. AirAsia X shares dropped after the Oct. 31 announcement, and losses since the development still stood at about 5% as of Friday morning. “Unfortunately, whatever I do gets blown
