The people of Bangun have become very familiar with the U.S. by rooting around in its trash.

They have combed through ripped sleeves of Oreos, empty packages of Trader Joe’s meatballs, discarded DVDs and much, much more. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Bangun is at the receiving end of a transoceanic waste trade worth more than $1.5 billion a year.

The U.S. and other wealthy nations have long sent cargo ships of scrap to Asia, where it is sorted and recycled to fuel industries. 📸: @SBengali latimes.com/world-nation/s…
A dirty secret of the waste trade is that the paper shipments often include other garbage, like municipal trash, that can't be used in manufacturing.

But even that has value in Indonesia. 📸: @SBengali latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Death investigations across the U.S. have been complicated or upended because transplantable body parts were taken before autopsies could be performed. The @latimes found more than two dozen cases in L.A. and San Diego counties: lat.ms/2VDykmS
These cases have had life-altering consequences. At least one murder charge was dropped. Possible homicides were left undetermined. The sudden deaths of two teens were never solved.
In some cases, autopsies were held off to allow companies to harvest body parts often used in cosmetic surgery to plump lips and posteriors, fill cellulite dimples and enhance penises. lat.ms/2VDykmS

Housekeepers show up to work in fire evacuation zones because their bosses neglected to tell them they evacuated latimes.com/california/sto…
“I should just go home,” Aquino said. Aquino had seen two other housekeepers also walking to work that morning.

“They didn’t tell us,” she said. “They need to tell us not to come.”

A thread: Getty fire: Housekeepers, gardener go to work despite the flames - Los Angeles Times latimes.com/california/sto…
I met Carmen Solano when I spotted her taxi pulling up into a driveway. I’d just seen homes on fire a street over and immediately wondered why she was arriving instead of leaving. Turns out she was a housekeeper and had no idea the area was under mandatory evacuation
She’d packed a bunch of food for the day in this red backpack. She’d worked at this home for nearly two months. We actually got the owner on his doorbell ringer and he explained that they’d had to evacuate at 3 a.m.

Don't believe what they say about Calif. blackouts

They result from *political* failure to hold PG&E accountable after $21 BILLION bail-out

Failure stems from decades-long focus on climate/renewables instead of fortifying electric grid & a weak, distracted governor

THREAD
As background, I have been investigating and writing on California's energy & environmental policies, including their historical roots, for the last four years

My research will be published in book form by Harper Collins next year

The story begins in the 1960s
Back in the 1960s, PG&E & other California utilities planned to replace the burning of oil for electricity with nuclear plants

The President of Sierra Club was a humanist & conservationist who supported building nuclear plants, including Diablo Canyon

They are taking advantage of the solar minimum and burning out the people of California because it has something to do with a railroad they want, and it also has to do with China. I think it's also connected to child trafficking. From Disney to the border back up to Vegas.
