Some things never change: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3608 Read the Ragged Trousered Philathropists. The title ironically refers to workers who accept their own exploitation.

Worried big property owners buy too many homes? LA to assess 'monopolization' of housing stock City Council to study harms to prospective homeowners study released in October that found large landlords owned a growing share of L.A. properties.

Los Angeles will do anything besides building more homes.

What I always hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

β€˜We Would Be Entering a Completely Different World’ What happens if oil hits $200 a barrel?

β€œIf the strait remains closed for even a month…sustained higher oil prices could plunge the world into a recession, raise borrowing costs, alter the outcome of ongoing wars, and shift the balance of global-power competition in favor of Russia and China”

What it was like to watch grieving parents stare down Mark Zuckerberg in court The most coveted ticket in LA was for a downtown courthouse.

Today I began reading Timothy Egan’s β€œ A Fever in the Heartland.”
After only 5 chapters, I am thoroughly disturbed, dare I say, horrified not just by the history, but also the rhymes in current events and trends.

Richard Grenell out as Kennedy Center president The Trump loyalist who led the arts institution through a year of upheaval leaves months before the center is scheduled to be shut down for renovations.

Like a mob bust-out gone wrong, Trumpsters’ looting of the Kennedy Center has put it out of business, and now it needs to be β€œclosed for renovations” as cover-up. No surprise he’s being replaced. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Lately I have been experimenting with black and white photos. Having taken some locally, it made me realize that most of my childhood memories from here are in black and white. I thought about it for a minute and recalled how gray it always seemed. Pre EPA for sure.

BREAKING: Trump deploys a Marine Expeditionary Unit to Iran. About 2,500 Marines, armored infantry, artillery, and an amphibious assault ship are moving into a war already spiraling.

If this isn’t pre-staging for boots on the ground, what is?

And the way Jen Psaki is dragging Trump for filth πŸ”₯

He was detained for 104 days. A year later, he's still fighting for the right to free speech The case of Khalil, who was detained last March, sits at the vanguard of a battle of immigrants' due process and civil rights, and the Trump administration's mass detention and deportation policies.
