• Alexander Billy and Neel Sukhatme: Abundance beyond housing

  05-01-2026 07:01 via ocregister.com
  
  It’s 2026, and everyday life is quietly futuristic. Few of us carry cash, and in some cities you can get into an autonomous car that will take you through traffic safely enough to squeeze in a nap. Yet a doctor’s office can swap your first and last name on an intake form and trigger hours of administrative hell. 
  That mismatch is a core insight behind the abundance movement. Abundance argues we should be able to deliver essentials – like housing, energy, and healthcare &nd

  Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says the buck stops with her. It’s time she starts acting like it.
  It’s become increasingly clear, this wasn’t a “natural disaster.” The fire was started by an individual and much of the destruction could have been prevented.

  LOS ANGELES — One of the biggest sources of frustration for Lakers Coach JJ Redick during the team’s recent slide has been the lack of carryover.
  Whether it’s remembering after-timeout plays (ATOs), improved transition defense, player availability or simply playing hard – a season-long emphasis for a team that oftentimes struggles in that area – the Lakers have lacked on-court consistency for several weeks.

  President Donald Trump’s plan to take control of Venezuela’s oil industry and ask American companies to revitalize it after capturing President Nicolás Maduro in a raid isn’t likely to have a significant immediate impact on oil prices.
  Venezuela’s oil industry is in disrepair after years of neglect and international sanctions, so it could take years and major investments before production can increase dramatically. But some analysts are optimistic that
