#California lawmakers have approved a $7.6-billion #COVID_19 economic relief package, which includes a $600 #stimuluscheck for low-income Californians and more than $2.1 billion in grants and fee waivers for small businesses.

latimes.com/california/sto…
California residents could be eligible for the earned income tax credit if they have annual incomes of $30,000 or less, which last year included 3.9 million taxpayers.

The wait could last as long as seven weeks for those receiving the $600 stimulus check from the state.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The relief package approved by the governor and Legislature also provides $2.1 billion in grants from $5,000 to $25,000, a program administered by California’s Office of the Small Business Advocate.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Another $2 billion in tax breaks for businesses is expected to be acted on by the Legislature later this week, which would bring the total package to $9.6 billion.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The plan was crafted by Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders last week.

The COVID-19 relief package was made possible by higher-than-expected tax revenues in California despite the economic hardships brought on by the #pandemic.

.@Olivia_Rodrigo's swooning power ballad 'Drivers License' is the latest in a rich tradition of teenage melodrama in pop music that resonates with many listeners.

@mikaelwood explains
latimes.com/entertainment-…
Wood writes that teen melodrama has been expressed across multiple generations, from the crisp R&B of the Shirelles’ “Will You Love Me Tomorrow," to the bleary, trap-inflected sound of Tate McRae’s Top 40 hit “You Broke Me First.”

"[Rodrigo's] singing, which embraces an explicit theatricality, somehow low-affect and overwrought at once, to bring the listener inside the narrator’s experience," Wood writes

Many people who used the access codes said they didn’t know they were doing anything wrong, and said they would not have signed up if they had known the codes had been earmarked for more vulnerable residents. Several said they regretted getting vaccinated.
latimes.com/california/sto…
When Bryce Schramm got a text message about a code to book a vaccine appointment, he was skeptical.

He thought it sounded sketchy, at best. Then he received a second code in an email that specified that the vaccine site was testing their appointment booking system.
He couldn’t believe his luck when he was able to book an appointment for the very next day.

But he wanted to make sure he wasn’t doing anything wrong, so he called the state COVID-19 hotline number listed at the bottom of his confirmation email.

“Jennifer Aniston has this sort of vocal tic that she does at the beginning of every single sentence that she starts on any [episode] that she’s in,” it was claimed.

Then, the social media user showed a video as evidence: latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
