@pubbudgetdollas @SamLaycock0389 @ProfessorChar13 We have made it impossible to be seen as a viable candidate without higher education while at the same time, making college so unattainable for many people and then not even being worth it in the end. #ru_pbs21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

I agree that there should be legislation surrounding equity and that it is long overdue- it has always been clear that our prosperity and success in the US requires privilege that many are not born with. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

@pubbudgetdollas @bagley_tasha1 @ProfessorChar13 I'm just afraid that in the end- everyone involved gets the short end of the stick, parents, teachers and students. #ru_pbs21

I'm not sure what the solution would be since there is such a shortage of teachers, however I do know that remote schooling cannot take the place of regular schooling. What are our other options? @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

@Fgune1 @ProfessorChar13 I agree- definitely easier said than done. #ru_pbs21

Economists predict employers will add 300,000 jobs per month in 2022- Omicron might have an impact on these projections. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

@pubbudgetdollas @ProfessorChar13 Agreed- and also we should think about the boundaries that could potentially stand in the way for certain groups of people to use tech and accommodate to their needs. #ru_pbs21

This is so important and I'm glad to see it happening- technology should be used to make aid more accessible for all different communities. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

@pubbudgetdollas @bagley_tasha1 @ProfessorChar13 There are finding random days like hurricane days or snow days to make up for it but I don't think even that is enough. #ru_pbs21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

@bagley_tasha1 @ProfessorChar13 This is a good distinction and just proves that parents must be a part of the conversation. At the end of the day, they know their kids best and it's unfair to make choices about school w/o including parents. #RU_PBS21

Government aid in the US has helped make cities more affordable compared to the rest of the world- surprisingly. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

Paris, which shared the top spot with Hong Kong and Zurich in 2020, is now the second-priciest place to live, alongside Singapore https://t.co/wCeYqIbVtL

Call back to our previous class, the documentary "Coded Bias" provided insight into how problematic artificial intelligence could be. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

@maddymullholand @ProfessorChar13 Agreed. Hopefully Build Back Better will follow through...the doc spoke about how politicians have made these promises in the past but their policies never passed. #RU_PBS21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

The fact that at home testing is not widely available for very low cost after almost 2 years is so crazy to me. At my local pharmacy, they're 2 for $20- if they're even in stock. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

At a bare minimum, free high-quality masks, rapid at-home tests and HEPA filters should be sent to every U.S. household. Why isn’t this happening?!?

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

I think this is really telling and something that doesn't get spoken about enough- what will the consequences be on mental health from the pandemic and how can we be proactive? @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Bloomberg Politics @bpolitics]

A survey of 126 U.S. mayors reveals that city leaders are more concerned about the mental health toll of the pandemic than other headline-grabbing issues (via @citylab) https://t.co/wqKxe8TQjI

The US does so little to combat child poverty especially compared to other nations. Child tax credit has been shown to help with issues such as food insecurity. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Elaine Maag @ElaineMaag]

There has been a lot of amazing news coverage of the power of the Child Tax Credit. This piece, in particular, stands out as one worth listening to again if you're curious about what it would mean to cut child poverty in half. https://t.co/iSgCZ2E6sG

Devastating- sobering reality that we still need gun reform. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Three people were killed in a shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan, north of Detroit, the authorities said. The dead were all believed to be students, officials said, and a 15-year-old student has been taken into custody. https://t.co/Xe3t4JTJWr

What do we think about this? With overdose numbers getting higher and higher, these OPC's can hopefully help with the unfortunate reality of our drug epidemic. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Michelle Rutman @RutmanMichelle]

Great to see this especially after this week's module in Econ for PA on food insecurity. @ProfessorChar13 #RU_PBS21

[Roopa Kalyanaraman Marcello, DrPH, MPH @DrRoopaKM]

So excited & proud to have received a generous grant from @nys_health to launch a #produceprescriptionprogram that delivers #FruitsAndVegetables directly to homes of children who receive care at @NYCHealthSystem. This is the first program of its kind in the nation!
