"The local water system failed because the city’s infrastructure was built to respond to routine structure fires, not massive wildfires across multiple neighborhoods, experts told us."

I particularly liked this segment @juliettekayyem.bsky.social did with @amnanawaz.bsky.social helping explain the situation in LA. That "no city is built for a municipal water system to deliver assistance during what's essentially a wildland fire." www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

"By plucking out random applications, Sanders leaves voters with a distorted picture of the majority of the job titles held by H-1B visa holders.

The statement contains an element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression. We rate it Mostly False."

"massage therapists, cooks and dog trainers, that data didn’t show how many actually got visas. And his statement ignored that in some cases even these occupations require specialized training, such as being able to train dogs for blind people or teaching students in two languages."

"In 2023, about 65% of approved petitions were for workers in computer-related jobs and 6% were in education, but they were not all English teachers.

Longer term, I assume real estate is marginally cheaper in LA? Also assume SF is still a major tech epicenter. Probably also a conversation to have with your partner.

Will also matter how important "being in the office" is with this new role. Might be a good time to become a remote tech nomad :) .

Yay! Congrats.

Depending on your appetite for change, the move sounds like it could be awesome. From visits, I do give LA an edge over SF in terms of food.

For me personally, I'd probably want to make one change at a time - start a new job and get that under control before moving on top of it.

Well, you'd be able to reach a pretty lucrative market with followers who have lots of disposable income :) .

Reminded of the bit in Gilmore Girls where Lorelei gets so drunk she starts filming her audition for America's Next Top Model. "I'm not here to make friends, I want to win!"

Are you saying your G.I. Joe codename is "Three Kids?"

Are you sure your head isn't simply bigger than all of your colleagues'? :)
