Tragically, the year is not beginning how anyone in Los Angeles would like, as Michael, Anna, and Anthony process the still ongoing fires ravaging their own backyards in the Palisades at an unprecedented level. The gang then turn their attention to all the other things making everyone else’s start to the year a bit prickly, like Meta announcing they’re no longer fact checking, or how funding for 9/11 first responders and victims has lapsed thanks to Donald and Elon. Or how US Steel may be going under after a merger was recently blocked. It’s not the start to the year we wanted, but that doesn’t me we can allow ourselves to tune out the news.
