  • Why Biden is getting little credit for the economy, especially in California

    As President Biden struggles to sell Bidenomics to skeptical voters, he’s facing the all-too-real consequences of stubbornly higher inflation, but he’s also battling human psychology. And both of those factors may be especially strong in California. Most economists agree that the American economy during Biden’s presidency has made a remarkable recovery from the pandemic. And it continues to outperform expectations, even if California isn’t doing quite as well. But polls have consistently shown...

  • Fertility: Another reason for men to get the HPV vaccine

    If you’re sexually active, you will (almost certainly) contract a sexually transmitted infection (STI). This fate is largely predetermined thanks to the most common STI: human papillomavirus (HPV). It’s so ubiquitous that 90% of sexually active men and 80% of sexually active women become infected during their lifetime.

  • Letters to the Editor: California doesn't know if $20 billion spent on homelessness has worked. Who gets fired?

    To the editor: As much an opponent of added bureaucracy as I am, it amazes me that California has not created a new agency whose sole job is to fight homelessness. ("California spent billions on homelessness without tracking if it worked," April 9) Instead, some $20 billion has been spent over the last five years with no single point of management and accountability. Instead, we have a mishmash of agencies, all with different views on solutions and with little to show for the money they are...

  • Letters to the Editor: Hate California? That says more about you than California

    To the editor: Your print edition front page on April 8 had two articles about worsening circumstances in California with regard to climate change and housing, and a piece explaining the reasons conservatives don’t like us. It seems to be the norm for folks (even our friends and members of our family) to think negatively about the state. In reality, it is probable that not living within a budget leads to people thinking California is too expensive; that not knowing people different than we are...
