For the first time in history, standing behind the president on the dais were two women: Vice President Kamala Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. latimes.com/politics/story…
“We have to prove democracy still works. That our government still works — and can deliver for the people.”

Biden laid down a marker when his address turned to racial justice: Meaningful change in the criminal justice system will be a central theme of his tenure.

“Trickle-down economics has never worked,” Biden said. “It’s time to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out.”

After four years of conservative cultural populism, President Biden's first speech to Congress delivers a dose of left-leaning economic populism, writes @DavidLauter. latimes.com/politics/story…
Here are some takeaways from Biden’s 65-minute speech: latimes.com/politics/story…
Kamala Harris is often at President Biden’s side publicly, and plays a key role in selling his agenda, but her level of pull behind the scenes is uncertain.

With a runtime of 18 minutes, Disneyland’s Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is too long for California health rules limiting indoor rides.

@hugomartin explains how Disneyland is approaching the problem: latimes.com/business/story…
Disneyland officials promise that when the park reopens Friday, the ride’s major plot points will remain intact, including lots of explosions, drama and high-tech mayhem. latimes.com/business/story…
Disneyland said the experience would be shortened by cutting down the “dwelling points,” where riders wait or walk through the attraction.

For example, that could include the segment when visitors are waiting to be interrogated by Kylo Ren. latimes.com/business/story…

One couple has sold $12,400 of Walmart instant soup mix since June. Another reseller is peddling boxes of 200 dresses for $800.

As the pandemic shut people in and wiped out jobs, the reselling gig got supercharged.

@RonWLATimes reports: latimes.com/business/story…
It’s a hustle as old as humankind: Get something on the cheap; persuade someone to take it off your hands for more.

Entrepreneurs often start by selling common consumer products online from their homes and then expanding to warehouses. latimes.com/business/story…
“We’ve seen crazy growth,” said Marcus Shen, chief operating officer of B-Stock Solutions, which bills itself as the world’s largest business-to-business online marketplace for the unsold, the surplus, the returned and the liquidated. latimes.com/business/story…
