It has been a horrific week. And the fires are still burning.
Before my brain stopped working I tried to write a story about how catastrophe befell Los Angeles, and where we Angelenos go from here. Reported from what is left of Altadena www.economist.com/united-state...

How will calamity change Los Angeles?
Short-sighted policies amplified the destruction. Will LA–and California–learn from their mistakes?

Macron rules out resigning and says he will preside until 2027, ‘right until the end’. He will name a new prime minister to replace Barnier ‘in the coming days’. A special law to roll over the 2024 budget into 2025 will keep the state functioning until a new budget is prepared
