The mood in LA is anxious/devastated/exhausted/ braced for more.

It's NOT all rich people. Most are artists who scraped together a down payment. And the fire has leveled Altadena, a historically Black tight-knit community.

When trying to decide if a plastic cleanup technology is a good idea, ask yourself:

Would this work on land? Would dragging a net through a forest be a good idea?

If the answer is “no”, then it’s not a good idea in the ocean, either.
