Two years ago, a cold storage locker in FInley, WA, owned by the same company that owns the burned LA facility, burned down. @lamaterial reports:
“L.A. is still waiting for more data on whether the smoke from the Boyle Heights fire contained any uniquely hazardous toxins. But

Isn’t compromise obvious course now for GOPs? How about a bill with just requirement for a photo ID to vote. Drop the proof of citizenship for registration. (Let government enforce it.) Drop mail-in rules. I think mail-in rules are more important, but you take what you can get. https://t.co/ECJBgViIhj

A left-wing community group (say, CHIRLA) is your landlord. You need your shower fixed. Their political wing knocks on your door, asks for your ballot. What are you gonna do? https://t.co/Lw3FqqDyy0

I disagree–it doesn’t turn it into a welfare program. I’d define “welfare” as “the government gives you money even if you don’t work”–eg. the old AFDC program. Even in a dramatically means-tested SS system you don’t qualify for anything if you haven’t worked the requisite https://t.co/FCWg8zRi3J

Today’s crazy idea: If you want to take it out of the elderly’s hide, isn’t there an obvious mild means-test compromise solution: Let the 20% *overall* cut happen, but make the cut nothing for the poorest recipients, and about 40% for the richest, and 20% about halfway between https://t.co/SjmXaDZGz3

Why wasn’t a reasonable government response to evacuate the surrounding community? Expensive, yes. But what are taxes for?** People are going to have serious health problems down the road …

Was it Foundation where they developed a computer program to discover if politicians’ statements had any meaning to them or just boiled down to zero? You don’t need a computer for most of Caruso’s feed these days. https://t.co/SGmPOHXJPs

Has the means test’s time finally come? Charlie Peters flogged it for years. DNC chair Paul Kirk had to immediately apologize when he brought it up in 1985. (” I should not have mentioned the subject of a means test.”) Bruce Babbitt’s 1988 campaign died on that hill. What https://t.co/jBoXHIPvRp

Strange that Polymarket’s odds on the LA mayoral race haven’t really changed in a week–DSA member Raman still 37 vs. 62% behind. Raman seems undervalued. https://t.co/PvO7LeFKY4 PS I don’t like (use, trust) prediction markets.
