Trump slams handling of LA wildfires as wind fuels flames
President-elect Donald J. Trump escalated his criticism of the officials managing the Los Angeles wildfires, describing them as "incompetent" and expressing frustration over the ongoing crisis. He questioned why the wildfires had not yet been extinguished, despite the significant resources and efforts dedicated to trying to control the flames in sometimes 100 mph winds. His comments reflected growing concerns over the handling of the disaster as it continued to devastate communities in the region as increased wind conditions spread the flames into new sections of California.

LA wildfires most expensive in state history ... and counting
The fires ravaging upmarket LA districts Pacific Palisades and Malibu will be the most expensive ever to hit California, according to experts, who expect premiums to rise in a region already abandoned by many insurers. Analysts at JPMorgan estimated that the total cost of damage and insured damage had doubled in less than 24 hours to $50 billion and $20 billion respectively. And the flames were advancing on several fronts over the weekend.

JPMorgan Chase issued an internal memo informing employees on hybrid work schedules that they must return to the office five days a week starting in March. Employees had strong opinions, many of which include complaints about the shift back to full-time office work.

South Korean flight data recorders were off

Flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the Jeju Air flight that crashed at South Korea's Muan International Airport stopped recording four minutes before the tragedy that claimed 179 lives. On Dec. 29, a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 traveling from Bangkok to Muan belly-landed, overshooting the runway and colliding with a concrete embankment. Early findings indicate the pilots had reported a bird strike and declared an emergency minutes before the crash, but investigators are now dealing with the absence of crucial data from the aircraft's black boxes.

Apple bucking the trend on DEI rollbacks?

Apple's board of directors has recommended shareholders vote against a proposal to end the company's diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, going against the grain of decisions by other corporations. The National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank, proposed Apple shareholders consider ending the firm's DEI program to prevent lawsuits following a 2023 Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action in universities. But the Apple board has recommended voting against the proposal when it meets this month.

The millennia-old Kumbh Mela, a sacred show of religious piety and ritual bathing, is held at the junction of the holy Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati rivers. Saffron-robed monks and naked ash-smeared ascetics offered blessings to devotees, many of whom walked for weeks to reach the site.
