I argue that the evidence implies an underlying metallic state with hole pockets which have a non-Luttinger area enclosed by the Fermi surface. Such a state must also feature a quantum spin liquid with fractionalization. I describe how the intertwined d-wave superconductivity and charge orders emerge from a fractionalized perspective.  Event Location: BRIM 311
