Slowly Malibu to Santa Barbara is starting to develop a quantum industry. Google kickstarted it with UCSB out of Goleta a few years back. MS is opening in Goleta and now IBM purchasing HRL in Malibu is a big deal for the area.

I'm excited that HRL will get some life blown back in to it- frankly.

My grandfather was a printer not to far from that Burger King, in a building now owned by the academy of art. In 1963 he had 5 children, a house in Daly City and 3 apartments across the street from Dolores park as well as a brand new home in Terra Linda. He died early, but extended family stayed in the business. It was union work, he as the youngest operator of the 4 color press. His wife my grandmother didn’t work. The printing business was cooked by the early 90s. I was laid off from Broadcom a year and a half ago- I think about the printing industry to Ai analogue all the time. I got lucky and got a job a startup making less than half of what I made before. I know much more capable and smart people laid off in the same round- that are still wondering what the hell to do.
