So it's sort of like doing a stepwise process to get to what is the impact of superintendent turnover.”“Any sort of changes at the federal level may mean that superintendents really have to step up right and make sure that we continue to say, ‘We are going to serve every kid that walks in our door, and we're going to do whatever it takes to do that.'”Stay in touch with Dr. Rachel White:LinkedInThe Superintendent Lab websiteEmail: rachel.white@austin.utexas.eduStay in touch with Sarah Williamson:SWPR GROUP WebsiteLinkedInStay in touch with Chad Bolser:LinkedInAbout "The Secret to Transformational Leadership," which Sarah co-authored with Dr. Quintin Shepherd:Transformational Leadership Secret websitePurchase the print or ebook

About the video: “You can find examples of really big environmental problems that we've already solved.” Climate change is solvable, argues Hannah Ritchie. Doomerism about the state of the planet is widespread right now. Many see climate change as an insurmountable problem that we won't be able to tackle. But the reality tells a different story, says data scientist Hannah Ritchie. By stepping back to look at the data and at how the world has changed over centuries, you can actually find examples of really big environmental problems that we've already solved. By tracing the evolution of human history, we can see that human progress was often very much in conflict with environmental impact. The more that humans progressed, the more the environment degraded. Ritchie argues that now, we're in a unique position where these two things are no longer in conflict, thanks to recent technologies that decouple our human wellbeing with our environmental impact. chapters for easier navigation: 0:00 - An ‘insurmountable' problem? 1:10 - 4 key targets to solve climate change 04:27 - How we reduce our emissions 09:36 - Being an ‘urgent optimist' Up next, The overpopulation myth, debunked by a data scientist ►   • The overpopulation myth, debunked by ...   -------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business-------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the sponsor: The first 500 people to click this link will get a 1-month free trial of Skillshare: https://skl.sh/bigthink08241 About Hannah Ritchie: Hannah Ritchie is a data scientist and science communicator focused on the largest problems that shape our world, and how to solve them.

About the video: Is human overpopulation alarmist hype with disturbing consequences? Oxford data scientist Hannah Ritchie debunks the overpopulation myth. Up next, Psychologist debunks 8 myths of mass scale ►   • Psychologist debunks 8 myths of mass ...   A widespread concern with overpopulation became prominent in the 1960s and the 1970s, when scholars wondered how we could produce enough food for a rapidly growing global population. Brought to the fore with the publication of the book, "The Population Bomb," by Paul R. Ehrlich in 1968, it seemed that the only way to solve this problem was to discourage people from having more children. This concern hinged on the assumption that the world population would continue to grow exponentially, but it hasn't. While the global population is still growing, in fact it's growing at a much slower rate, as global population growth rates peaked decades ago and have halved since then. So is this concern completely unfounded? What can future population projections tell us? Data scientist Hannah Ritchie explains why. chapters: 00:00: The overpopulation concern 02:01: Global population growth rates 02:28: The fall in global fertility rates 03:06: Amount of food produced per person 03:50: Per capita CO2 emissions 04:17: The underpopulation concern --------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Hannah Ritchie: Hannah Ritchie is a data scientist and science communicator focused on the largest problems that shape our world, and how to solve them.

Drivers are subjected to a postcode penalty with young motorists in affluent Dublin suburbs paying less for insurance than more experienced motorists from less well-off areas. We discuss this with Dr. Adrian Byrne, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Career-FIT PLUS Fellow at CeADAR, and Lead Researcher; AI Ethics Centre, Idiro Analytics and also Geraldine Herbert Motoring Editor Sunday Independent.

Where you live can negatively affect your car insurance premiums. Living in a more deprived, more ethnically diverse location increases your chance of receiving a higher quote, a new survey on the Irish insurance industry has found. A new report jointly produced by CeADAR, Ireland's Centre for AI, and Idiro Analytics used AI methods to analyse almost 40,000 quotes from 10 car insurance companies across 20 locations in Ireland. Researchers found that driving experience and the length of time a driver has had a policy are key factors that are modified by home address when a quote is being calculated. This can lead to extreme cases in which 25-year-olds in areas of south Dublin are receiving lower quotes than 60-year-olds with fewer penalty points living in poorer locations. The report also found that the extent to which your premium increases if you receive penalty points varies depending on your location. For example, drivers in Dublin 17 who receive penalty points can expect an average increase in their premium of 107%, from €792 to €1,642, compared to 68% for drivers in Mallow Co. Cork, from €560 to €941. Meanwhile, a driver's occupation increases their quote even if they don't use their car for business purposes. This is then compounded by where they live. Retail workers are most affected by this, with drivers who work in retail and live in Balbriggan, Co. Dublin, seeing their premiums increase by 35%, from €555 to €747, compared to 5%, from €512 to €540, for a retail worker living in Glenageary, Co. Dublin. The year-long research analysed almost 40,000 quotes from 20 locations around Ireland, including counties Dublin, Cork, Longford, Roscommon, Wicklow and Donegal. Multiple samples of quotes were collected to isolate single changes to accurately measure the effect of each change - for example, a driver's name, home address or gender - on the quoted figure. The research did find significant differences across the 10 insurers whose quotes were analysed. The full findings of the report can be analysed here. Other key findings in the report include: Residents of Longford Town are quoted the highest premiums in the study while residents of Crookstown, Co. Cork, receive the lowest quotes There was no difference in quote between those with traditionally Irish names and those with non-Irish-sounding names. There was also no significant difference between males and females Drivers who make claims even when they are not at fault receive higher quotes The aim of the study is to understand how insurance companies' algorithms work and the extent to which unconscious bias is embedded in them. The companies could have legitimate reasons for quoting higher prices for some areas - higher rates of car-related crime, for example - but bias or unconscious bias could arise if those areas are also more ethnically diverse and economically deprived. European legislation due to be introduced later this year will see essential service providers like car insurance companies penalised for failing to guard against bias in their AI systems. Companies found to have broken the rules of the EU AI Act will find themselves liable for administrative fines of up to €30m or a sum equal to 6% of their annual turnover. Dr. Adrian Byrne, a Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Career-FIT PLUS Fellow at CeADAR, and Lead Researcher; AI Ethics Centre, Idiro Analytics, says: "It appears to be a virtuous circle versus a vicious circle in terms of where you live, i.e. living in a more deprived, more ethnically diverse location not only increases the chances of receiving a higher quote but if you add penalty points, claims and zero NCB into the mix then we have seen unequal treatment between different locations. "In extreme comparisons, we've seen 25-year-olds in the most well-heeled locations be predicted to receive a lower quote than 60-year-olds living in the poorest locations despite having much more driving experience and policies in their own name. "If car insurance companies...

We look at this topical and timely book by Hannah Ritchie. See more about Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet here. Not the End of the World How to Build a Sustainable Planet, reviewed This book is a positive and empowering read. The author, Hannah Ritchie does a lot of good myth busting and deconstructing some of the wilder and less fact based assertions around the future of the planet. Ritchie addresses both overly negative statements, particularly around the 'population bomb' assertions, and also climate change deniers too. She does a series of deep dives into veganism, organic food, and shopping local or further afield. While some books we have reviewed recently have failed to both inspire and offer a road map forwards in terms of if the planet can even be saved. We felt this book made a much better stab at engaging with these issues, while not leaving the reader so depressed as to descend into nihilism and despondency. This is a book that we will pass on to our teenagers, as it is informed, intelligent and a useful stepping stone to doing more in the areas where it can have the best effect. More about the book Feeling anxious, powerless, or confused about the future of our planet? This book will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems - and how we can solve them. A STYLIST BEST NON-FICTION 2024 * A GUARDIAN BIGGEST FICTION AND NON-FICTION FOR 2024 * A WATERSTONES 'BOOK YOU NEED TO READ IN 2024' * A GUARDIAN 'FIVE GREAT READS' We are bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won't be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, that we should reconsider having children. But in this bold, radically hopeful book, data scientist Hannah Ritchie argues that if we zoom out, a very different picture emerges. The data shows we've made so much progress on these problems, and so fast, that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the first time in history. Packed with the latest research, practical guidance and enlightening graphics, this book will make you rethink almost everything you've been told about the environment, from the virtues of eating locally and living in the countryside, to the evils of overpopulation, plastic straws and palm oil.

In 2022, the Conversion Practices Prohibition Legislation Act amended the Human Rights Act 1993 to make conversion practices unlawful in Aotearoa New Zealand.  A new study, ‘Conversion practices in Aotearoa New Zealand: Developing a holistic response to spiritual abuse', highlights support needed for people wanting to escape conversion practices in faith-based settings.  Led by Director of Kaitiaki Research and Evaluation and Adjunct Professor at Victoria University, Doctor Michael Roguski, the study identified interventions required to ensure those experiencing religious conversion practices have a “pipeline to safety”. Producer Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Roguski about the study, beginning the interview asking him about his research process. She also spoke to Lived Experience and human rights advisor, Andre Afamasaga, about how Te Kāhui Tika Tangata, the Human Rights Commission, provides support to survivors of conversion practices and the importance of this [from 12:00].  She asked him firstly to introduce himself and describe what his role was at Te Kāhui Tika Tangata.

Hurricane Fiona in 2022 prompted us to reflect on the state of climate change on the Island. Join Daniel McRae, Lead Researcher at MacPhail Woods, and Matthew McRae, Executive Director of the Museum & Heritage Foundation as they discuss the many natural (or human) disasters that happened on PEI. Spoiler: brace yourself for a stormy future. Features guest interviews: Dr. Douglas Sobey, Peter Nishimura (Government of PEI - EECA), Donald Jardine (UPEI Climate Lab), Kate MacQuarrie (Government of PEI - EECA), Stuart Hickox (Tree Stories PEI) 

Legendary public school reform advocate, Jonathan Kozol, joins us to discuss his latest book “An End To Inequality: Breaking Down the Walls of Apartheid Education in America.” Then, we do a deep dive into the scourge that is kratom, the dangerous so-called pain relief supplement our guest, lawyer Matt Wetherington, calls “gas station heroin.”Jonathan Kozol is a leading advocate for equality and racial justice in our nation's schools, and he travels and lectures about educational inequality and racial injustice. Mr. Kozol is the author of nearly a dozen books about young children and their public schools, including Death at an Early Age (for which he received the National Book Award), Savage Inequalities, and The Shame of the Nation. His latest book is An End to Inequality: Breaking Down the Walls of Apartheid Education in America.I still give [Jonathan Kozol's book Death at an Early Age] out to people to show them what indignant writing backed by irrefutable evidence is like. There's too much cool writing in America today about ghastly situations.Ralph NaderThe Brown decision is now like the Ghost of Christmas Past.  Most school officials have pretty much turned their back on the legacy of Brown and the dream of Dr. King, who was very explicit in his condemnation of segregated schools. I find it particularly heartbreaking that segregation is now at its highest level since the early 1990s. And many of the schools I visit are far more deeply segregated than the one that I described in Death in Early Age.Jonathan KozolWe hear a lot about the “school-to-prison pipeline,” but this is a case where the prison is already there. It's right there. They don't have to wait 20 years. Children get a taste of our racist penal system when they're barely out of diapers.Jonathan KozolThe excuse, of course, we always hear in the big cities is that finances are scarce— “We would love to make these corrections. We would love to build new buildings. We would love to clean out the lead. But we just don't have enough resources to do this.” I call it the myth of scarcity. It's starvation funding for minority children in one of the richest nations in the world.Jonathan KozolI'm always asked, “Why don't you come up with upbeat suggestions?” I always say I'm not going to be forced into a phony optimism to please my critics. The fact is, right now, we have a racist and autocratic education system teed specifically to the historic victims of American society. And it's not gonna change until teachers can expand their reach politically to the parents of their children, to the surrounding communities, to the unions—not only the teacher unions, but other unions of all sorts—in order to transform the political leadership of this nation.Jonathan KozolMatt Wetherington is ​​a nationally-recognized lawyer focused on high-stakes cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, and class actions. He currently represents plaintiffs in a wrongful death lawsuit against more than a dozen defendants, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of Kratom products.Under the guise of safety, the [American Kratom Association] have tricked legislatures— and now they're trying to do it on the federal level—into making a product that is dangerous, deadly, and has absolutely no proven medicinal purpose, de facto legal.Matt WetheringtonThe kratom industry is trying to put the burden on safety advocates to prove that kratom is unsafe. Rather than going through the normal model that literally every other drug has gone through, which is to prove a medicinal purpose before it can be sold anywhere. They've put the cart ahead of the horse here by saying, until you can prove that it's unsafe, you can get this heroin-like drug at any gas station. So I reject the premise that we have to be the ones that come out and prove that this is unsafe. And the reality is that they have the burden of proving that it has a medicinal purpose.Matt WetheringtonIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 3/19/241. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, delivered a watershed speech on the Senate floor last week calling for the United States to use its influence to rein in the Israeli government as it continues to commit genocidal atrocities in Gaza. Listen to Michigan highlighted an excerpt of Senator Schumer's speech, wherein he said “if Prime Minister Netanyahu...continues to pursue dangerous and inflammatory policies that test existing U.S. standards for assistance, then the United States will have no choice but to play a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to change the present course.” While a mere baby step, this movement of the Overton Window – allowing even the discussion of conditioning military aid to Israel – is a radical departure from decades of unquestioning U.S. assistance and co-belligerency in Israel's wars. This is also undeniable evidence that the massive protest movement against U.S. support for Israel's genocidal campaign, including the “Uncommitted” electoral campaign, has worked. In other words, keep it up, they are feeling the heat.2. Schumer's speech comes amid a growing realization from the Biden campaign that this issue is not going away. A raft of media reports suggest that the president has been “incensed to the point of shouting and swearing,” per Business Insider, over his low poll numbers in critical swing states, attributed to his handling of the slaughter in Gaza. And just this week, Palestinian-American as well as other Arab- and Muslim-American leaders refused to meet with senior White House officials in Chicago, instead publishing a letter via CAIR stating “There is no point in more meetings. The White House already knows the position of the aforementioned groups and our allies across the nation…They know because we have made it abundantly clear, including in prior meetings with the White House, but also in press statements, letters to our elected leaders, media interviews, and enormous street action within earshot of the Oval Office.” According to the Huffington Post, “The rejection comes after a string of refusals across the country from Arab and Muslim groups over longstanding frustrations over the war in Gaza…Several members of the Palestinian American community refused to meet with Secretary of State Antony Blinken last month in Washington…[and] In Michigan, Arab and Muslim community leaders canceled a listening session in February with…Biden's campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez.”3. More suspicious details have emerged regarding the death of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett. Yahoo Finance reports that Barnett was planning to drive home to Louisiana following his deposition on Friday March, 8th. Boeing lawyers then asked him to stay an extra day to finish his testimony, and Barnett was found dead the morning of March 9th. Additionally, ABC News 4 in Charleston reports that shortly before his death – allegedly by suicide – Barnett told a close family friend “I ain't scared, but if anything happens to me, it's not suicide.'” 4. In more Boeing news, the New York Times reports “The company failed 33 of 89 audits during an examination conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration,” following the Alaska Airlines door plug incident. The Times piece goes on “The F.A.A. said it could not release specifics about the audit because of its active investigation into Boeing in response to the Alaska Airlines episode. In addition to that inquiry, the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating what caused the door panel to blow off the plane, and the Justice Department has begun a criminal investigation.”5. A disturbing NBC story chronicles how the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) – a nationwide group of clinics which effectively helped autistic children to “cope, learn and communicate” – was purchased and deformed by the Blackstone Group, resulting in abuse of the children in their facilities. The founder of CARD is quoted in this article saying “[under Blackstone's ownership] the company added costly executives, increased CARD's debt and struck expensive contracts with third-party providers. The new CEO had no experience in autism services…he had run a kidney dialysis company.” This story has a bit of a happy ending – after running CARD into the ground, Blackstone actually sold the company back to the founder who is setting things right. As she says in the piece “You have to watch over the company…It is an entity, not an endless bank account.” This story highlights the human cost of private equity gobbling up the economy while regulators are overwhelmed or asleep at the wheel.6. In some positive news, Nikkei Asia reports “Japan's largest labor confederation [The 7 million-member Japanese Trade Union Confederation, or Rengo] said Friday that its [771] member unions won an average 5.28% increase in wages this year, the biggest raise since 1991.”7. In more positive labor news, CNN reports that the United Auto Workers (UAW) has filed for a union election for the over 4,000 workers at the Chattanooga, Tennessee Volkswagen facility. This is the first major test of UAW's campaign to unionize autoworkers at foreign-owned plants in the United States. The union intends to organize workers at BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Volvo and Volkswagen as well as the non-union EV companies like Tesla, Rivian and Lucid. UAW has previously said that they would not file for an election until they had won 70% support among the workers, with this filing implying they have reached that threshold. President Biden has publicly come out in support of this campaign, issuing a statement on March 18th reading “I congratulate the Volkswagen autoworkers in Chattanooga who filed for a union election with the UAW. As one of the world's largest automakers, many Volkswagen plants internationally are unionized…I believe American workers, too, should have a voice at work.”8. Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill to establish a standard 32-hour workweek. In a press release, Sanders wrote “Today, American workers are over 400 percent more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago…The financial gains from the major advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, and new technology must benefit the working class, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street. It is time to reduce the stress level in our country and allow Americans to enjoy a better quality of life.” This legislation was announced ahead of a HELP Committee hearing on the same topic, featuring Shawn Fain, President of the UAW and Dr. Juliet Schor, Professor of Sociology at Boston College and Lead Researcher for Four Day Week Global Trials.9. A story in the American Prospect has to do with a study by the Center for Working Class Politics. This study looked at all 966 Democratic candidates who ran in House or Senate primaries in 2022. What did they find? “Candidates who used economic populist rhetoric won higher vote shares in general elections, especially in working-class, rural and small-town districts.” In other words, broad-base, left-wing economic populism. It works.10. Finally, NBC reports that the DNC is assembling an anti-third party squad in an attempt to force voters into a binary choice between Biden and Trump in November. This team will be led by the infamous political operator Lis Smith, who helped cover up Andrew Cuomo's serial sexual harassment. Another prominent member is Pat Dennis, president of Democratic opposition research firm American Bridge, who is quoted saying “A lot of people, including me, regret that we didn't go after [Jill Stein] further,” blaming Stein for costing Hillary Clinton states in the midwest despite numerous missteps by the Clinton campaign – like not visiting Wisconsin in the entire course of the general election. Yet to figures like Smith and Dennis, the Democratic Party cannot fail, it can only be failed.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Every Saturday, we revisit a story that's in the news again. This week, we're revisiting a global study that found a 4-day working week resulted in a high level of satisfaction on the part of both employers and employees.   This originally aired on May 31, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.  Are we on the verge of another workplace revolution? It's possible to work fewer hours and keep the same level of pay and productivity, according to results of the largest-ever trial of a four-day workweek held in the United Kingdom. Traditional work routines were upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, and there's increased demand for more flexible schedules. But in many parts of the world, even a five-day week is a luxury. So can a four-day workweek work for everyone?

New research from the University of Auckland has found there has been an increase of opioid use in older people and patients after surgery.  Health records for more than 800,000 people over 65 show from 2007 to 2018, there has been an increase in prescriptions. Records show a rate of persistent use of people still using opioids 90 days after surgery at 9.1%.  Lead Researcher Hoda Fahmy tells Mike Hosking the rate of persistent use is a significant percentage and that not all patients on opioids may need them.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are we leveraging technology to its fullest potential when it comes to the learning and development of employees? This week I'm releasing a special episode with Donald H. Taylor, Lead Researcher for the Global Sentiment Survey, in preparation for the release of the report. In our conversation, we not only explore some of the key insights that come from the report but what they mean. As you can imagine, artificial intelligence plays a dominating role but perhaps not how you'd expect. We discuss the rapidly evolving role of AI as well as what it means for employees and emerging professionals alike, connecting the changes we're seeing today to historical transformations like electricity and the smartphone. At a time when it feels like everything is changing, this may help calm the nerves of folks feeling justifiably overwhelmed. Furthermore, we get into some of the challenges that lay ahead and what we can do to mitigate the risks associated with those challenges. Making these shifts will not only serve as a benefit to those looking to leverage technology but will also serve as a guiding light to staying relevant and valuable in an organization. If you're curious how to navigate the rapidly changing of learning and technology, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Stephen Covey's lead researcher is Tom DeLong. He is currently a professor at Harvard Business School and is an inspiring guest. Hear about his career as the first social scientist on Wall St.Enjoy hearing the insights on the ever popular Seven Habits series that has now stretched into parenthood, childhood and practically every aspect of life.On a personal note, Dr. Covey was my mentor after I took the Colombo Yogurt leadership team to Sundance, Utah to have him teach us the seven habits. He will long be remembered as a bright light in my life.

As global temperatures continue to rise, fossil fuel production continues to increase, forests continue to be cut down, and species are becoming extinct at rates faster than previous mass extinctions, it's hard to find any hope for a sustainable, or even habitable, future. But giving up is not an option. There are billions of people now and in the near future whose lives depend on solving the multitude of human-caused environmental and health crises plaguing the planet today.  The good news is, even though things are not good right now, they've been much worse. And they're better today because we finally know how to power our lives, feed our families, and grow our economies without destroying our environment. Dr. Hannah Ritchie, the Deputy Editor and Lead Researcher at Our World in Data, joins the show today to talk about her new book "Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet". Dr. Ritchie has studied the data and believes that for the first time in human history, there is no longer a tradeoff between human and environmental wellbeing. After researching the climate crisis, air pollution, deforestation, biodiversity loss, world hunger, and plastic pollution, Dr. Ritchie has come away with the understanding that things are bad now, but they're better than they were, and we have the real possibility of making them much better in the future.

Over the last few months we have been hearing the stories of women who believe that they were raised by mothers who have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. And, a woman who has been labelled a narcissist by her daughter. Today, two psychotherapists who have worked extensively in this field, Dr Jan McGregor Hepburn and Helen Villiers, who has an MA in working therapeutically with adult children of narcissists, join Nuala to answer some of the questions raised by the powerful testimonies heard in the series. Have you ever witnessed a mature, grown male sticking close to – and being very dependent on - his mother? These are the words used to describe new findings from on-going research on orca whales. Carried out by the Centre for Whale Research and Exeter University, it studied orcas in the coastal waters between Vancouver and Seattle, to find that older "post-menopausal" orca mothers protect their adult sons from fights. But, while these four or five-tonne males benefit from this maternal protection, female offspring do not receive the same attention. Lead Researcher from the University of Exeter, Charli Grimes, speaks to Nuala. This year marks the sixth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire where 72 people lost their lives. A new play created from interviews conducted with a group of survivors of the fire has opened this month at the National Theatre. Grenfell: in the words of survivors follows the lead up to the disaster, the night of the fire, and the Grenfell Inquiry which followed, and is still ongoing. The final report into the disaster is due to be published later this year. Nuala is joined by writer Gillian Slovo and actor Pearl Mackie.

Are we on the verge of another workplace revolution? It's possible to work fewer hours and keep the same level of pay and productivity, according to results of the largest-ever trial of a four-day workweek held in the United Kingdom. Traditional work routines were upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, and there's increased demand for more flexible schedules. But in many parts of the world, even a five-day week is a luxury. So can a four-day workweek work for everyone?

Not only should we be concerned about bots and algorithms encouraging suicides, but we should also be wary of programmers and propagandists that continue to push their Climate Change agendas while negating the effects of geoengineering. The hypocrisy is evident, especially when you consider the tremendous methane release from the Nordstream pipeline explosions which was the biggest burst of the potent greenhouse gas on record. The emissions from this event most certainly can force-multiply weather systems on the jet stream. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks with Lead Researcher of geoengineeringwatch.org, Dane Wigington, about HAPPY LITTLE ACCIDENTS. #GroundZero #ClydeLewis #ClimateChange #Geoengineering https://groundzeromedia.org/4-3-23-happy-little.../ Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis is live M-F from 7-10pm, pacific time, and streamed for free at groundzero.radio and our online affiliates, talkstreamlive.com, kgradb.com, and unxnetwork.com.
