I liked the comment where “we didn’t want to change coach in Jan in case it impacted our January recruitment”. Er… what January recruitment? We failed entirely that month

Biggest climate news nobody's talking about: California is "rethinking" its 2035 electric vehicle mandate. Right while Gavin Newsom saunters around Brazil telling the world to follow CA's lead on climate. Details in my newsletter, Climate-Colored Goggles: climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/…

So much for Gavin Newsom's electric vehicle mandate

California's leading the world on climate. So where's California going?

Not just electricity that's getting too expensive in Southern California -- water bills are a growing problem too, @ByIanJames reports: latimes.com/environment/stor…

Water bills in L.A. County are rising faster than inflation, UCLA research shows

UCLA researchers found that in Los Angeles County, average household water bills climbed 60% from 2015 to 2025, rising faster than inflation.
