The LA fires are a human tragedy. But Republican lawmakers don't seem to care about human beings, so let's re-frame it.
The GDP of the County of Los Angeles is larger than the GDP of all but ~20 countries.
It has a larger GDP than Sweden or Taiwan.
Helping it recover is incredibly important.

I suspect many folks don't really understand the scale of the County of Los Angeles.
It is geographically huge.
The population is enormous.
And the GDP of the county is larger than that of most states.

Los Angeles County is 4,751 square miles -- almost twice as large as Delaware.
It is home to more than 9.5M people. Larger than Virginia or Arizona; more than twice the population of Louisiana or Kentucky.
It has a larger GDP than Ohio or Georgia.
These fires are a truly national crisis.

Reading comments👇🏾 and 🙈! I am a scientist who came from nothing. No $ can buy grit, faith, resilience etc. grad school stipend was priceless- it was more than enough. Sorry but I believe character development and discipline will make more scientists than more resources. My apologies if I offend.

Does Africa need a light source? At ~US$ 1 billion initial cost and US$100 million annual maintenance, can the continent do it or should there be other priorities? #chemsky

This is nothing like the liquid metal Terminator, thankfully, but self-assembling electronics could radically transform how we make computer chips.
It could also be much cheaper than today's billion-dollar chip fabs with their expensive lithography machines. 🧪

Liquid metal particles can self-assemble into electronics
A cheap method for forming the tiny components of chips, such as transistors and diodes, harnesses simple fluid physics to make the electronics self-assembling

onwards to the NSF ICORP nationals, will this the be the biggest challenge yet? Thanks @shiplives.bsky.social, @cqchoi.bsky.social and @jeremyhsu.bsky.social for fantastic highlights of this work!
