How Do You Punish Steve Ballmer?

The numbers put it in perspective: NBA total valuation (2024): $132.8B Steve Ballmer’s net worth (2025): $153.1B His Clippers stake: $5.5B Think about that — Ballmer could theoretically buy the entire league and still be a billionaire 20 times over. So what’s a fine going to do? $10M? $50M? Even $100M? That’s pocket change. Draft picks? The Clippers already mortgaged their future. Push penalties out to 2034 and it’s still the same. Voiding Kawhi’s deal? Their window is closing anyway. At some point, this isn’t about punishment — it’s about whether the NBA even can hold an owner like this accountable. Stern would’ve gone nuclear, but does Adam Silver have the backbone to make an example here? Because right now, the message is clear: if your owner is rich enough, the rules don’t exist. #Clippers #SteveBallmer #NBANews #NBADebate #NBA #Sports #NBAOffseason #LosAngeles

LA schools face tough choices as enrollment drops

LAUSD has lost over 300,000 students in the past two decades, but most schools remain open, stretching resources thin and raising tough questions about the future. With fewer students, state funding drops, but the number of campuses and staff hasn’t kept pace. This means some schools have fewer than 100 kids, while others are overcrowded. Closing schools is controversial—these places are community hubs, not just classrooms. But with budgets tightening, something has to give. How should LAUSD balance keeping schools open, supporting staff, and making sure students get what they need? What would you do if your neighborhood school was on the line? #Education #LAUSD #LosAngeles

LA’s new warehouse store shakes up shopping

A new player is shaking up the warehouse shopping scene in Los Angeles! Resco Food Service, often called the “Asian Costco,” is now offering bulk groceries and over 5,000 products at super low prices—and their annual membership is just $20, way cheaper than Costco’s $65. Even better, you don’t need a membership to shop there. With its recent expansion, Resco is giving locals more options and serious savings. Could this be the start of real competition for Costco in California? How do you feel about more affordable choices for bulk shopping? #Business #LocalBusiness #LosAngeles

Celebrity break-ins on the rise in Los Angeles

Lionel Richie isn’t the only star rattled by a home invasion—his Los Angeles mansion was nearly burglarized while he was inside, but his security system scared off the intruder. This is just the latest in a string of break-ins targeting celebrities across L.A., from Sophia Bush to Keanu Reeves and Megan Thee Stallion. With Hollywood now ranking among the most burgled areas in the country, it’s clear that even fame and fortune can’t guarantee safety at home. How do you feel about rising crime in our neighborhoods, and what can be done to protect our communities? #Entertainment #Celebrity #LosAngeles

Finding my true home in Los Angeles

Moving from New York City to Pittsburgh seemed like the perfect reset—cheaper rent, closer to family, and a big new job. But after losing that job and feeling isolated, Pittsburgh just didn’t fit. Visiting Los Angeles, though, everything clicked: the creative energy, the welcoming people, and endless things to do. Taking the leap to LA changed everything. I found real friends, a thriving freelance career, and a city that finally felt like home. Sometimes, the wrong move leads you exactly where you’re meant to be. Has anyone else found their true home after a few missteps? #Business #MovingStories #LosAngeles

LA’s wild cats get a lifeline with new wildlife bridge

A mountain lion’s lonely life in LA’s Griffith Park has sparked a massive movement—soon, the world’s largest wildlife crossing will help animals safely travel over busy highways. This bridge isn’t just about saving pumas like P-22; it’s about reconnecting habitats, reducing car accidents, and even offering an escape route during wildfires. After decades of effort and $100 million raised (thanks in part to P-22’s celebrity status), the crossing opens in 2026. It’s already inspiring similar projects nationwide. What do you think—should more cities invest in wildlife crossings to protect both animals and people? #Pets #LosAngeles #WildlifeCrossing

Heat’s hidden dangers in Los Angeles

Extreme heat in Los Angeles isn’t just about sunburn or dehydration—it’s quietly making everyday health problems much worse, especially for our most vulnerable neighbors. ER doctors are seeing more patients whose heart, kidney, or breathing issues spiral out of control during heat waves, and sometimes the connection to heat isn’t obvious. The hardest hit? Older adults, people with chronic illnesses, and those without access to air conditioning or shade, particularly in areas like Skid Row. This is more than a weather issue—it’s about health equity and community support. How can we better protect each other as our city gets hotter every year? #Health #BodyHealth #LosAngeles
