Press Play with Madeleine Brand
What is the economic damage of the NorCal fires? Almost 6,000 structures have burned, 100,000 people have been displaced, and at least 40 have died in the Northern California fires. As firefighters slowly gain control of the fires, many evacuation orders have been lifted, and people are starting to head back home -- at least those whose homes are still standing. We assess the economic damage.

Sleeping with your son Remember that cool kid in high school? The one with the awesome jacket and that effortless edge. He was something of a rebel: used nasty language in just the right way. Made it all look so easy. Now remember that other kid who tried to copy him? Same jacket, same foul language but he couldn’t quite pull it off?

Rethinking public school funding in California LAUSD teachers are striking for the second day. Many people are questioning the state’s model for funding schools. California spends around $10,800 per pupil, which is less than the national average. But maybe that money could be better spent if the district itself were smaller and more manageable.
