When he discovers that the factory’s ruthless higher-ups are running a secret heroin ring and offing their own workers, his commitment to pacifism is put to the test.

The shooting in Monterey Park over the Lunar New Year weekend is serving yet another reminder of how random acts of mass violence can be. We talk about the impact mass violence has on mental health. The presence of a transgender woman in the women's locker room at the Santee YMCA has sparked national conservative media attention, and that of right wing extremists. Then, San Diego Gas and Electric customers are opening surprisingly high utility bills this month. We hear how some San Diegans are copping with the financial pain and what options there are to help. Finally, industry and government collect a lot of data about us. So much that states like California have placed some strict rules in data collection in the interest of privacy. But University of San Diego Law Professor Orly Lobel argues that, in many cases, we don't need less information about people. We need more to help create a just society.
