Patrick Hutchison bought the square foot cabin days after seeing it on Craigslist It ultimately led to a major career change Patrick Hutchison After a home robbery Patrick Hutchison scoured Craigslist hoping to find some of the lost items Instead he found a for and spent six years and refurbishing it It inspired him to pivot from being a full time copywriter to a carpenter For many is a major life goal It for Patrick Hutchison too although for him it was less about having his own place and more about feeling responsible for something and homeownership seemed like a natural step toward that path But I couldn t even come close to affording a house Hutchison who was working as a copywriter in Seattle at the time told Business Insider While scouting for viable options Hutchison tested out different filters on the only to stumble upon cabins in the woods Then I sort of forgot about the idea of doing something responsible and just became obsessed with this idea of buying a cabin he said But not all tiny cabins come with tiny price tags and affordability was still a challenge So Hutchison gave up on his idea until his house was robbed While searching for some of the items he d lost on Craigslist he found himself on the cabin listings instead This place popped up and it just said tiny cabin in Index and the price was said Hutchison The listing just showed this little semi abandoned shell of a structure which intrigued him he said A few days after seeing the listing he owned a by foot tiny cabin in Washington set against the stunning backdrop of the What came next was even more unexpected After renovating the cabin he ditched his copywriting career embraced carpentry full time and wrote a memoir about the experience which was released last year From making bad cuts to accidentally building his outhouse on his neighbor s property here s how Hutchison s changed his life and some of the biggest mistakes and greatest lessons he learned along the way Patrick Hutchison bought his cabin for in just six days after seeing it online The cabin as seen from the road shortly after buying it Rotten plywood serves as a bridge across the muck Patrick Hutchison When he found the cabin on Craigslist Hutchison was new to real estate I had never bought a place before so I had no idea about inspections escrow or title searches I just walked in without knowing the usual process he told BI Still he said his inexperience benefited him because it allowed him to make quick decisions and eventually dive into the reconstruction process without hesitation At first he did try to negotiate a lower price but when he found out three other parties were interested in the one he had already envisioned as his own he panicked and agreed to pay the full asking price Initially Hutchison thought only a few spots in and around the cabin needed to be reworked The cabin before any work had taken place Right his friend pointed out how un waterproof the rusty roof looks Hutchison said Patrick Hutchison The square foot cabin was in a tiny hamlet called Index about miles northeast of Seattle It was just a simple room with no electricity or running water Hutchison didn t begin the cabin restoration with a rigid blueprint or detailed spreadsheets Instead he had a rough list of obvious fixes an outhouse a covered deck and a driveway There certainly wasn t a master plan he said and the process was more about learning and evolving with the space rather than following a strict timeline But once he began building it started to become apparent just how much needed to be fixed The inside of the cabin when Patrick Hutchison bought it Patrick Hutchison I didn t know enough about what makes a building structurally sound or watertight or any of those things to know how poor of shape the place was in he said So every new detail he discovered revealed a new problem making Hutchison feel like he had to constantly start over despite making progress in his work It was a bit of a rabbit hole And some projects like putting in a wood created as many problems as it solved he said Hutchison didn t live at the property full time he traveled there from Seattle on weekends often with some friends in tow to help He also took a break to travel and a landslide in Index prevented him from visiting the cabin for a period Ultimately the cabin took six years for him to fix up He hadn t anticipated it would take him so long I thought I d just tidy it up a bit I wasn t even sure if I d use it much he admitted adding that there was a chance I d end up like the guy before me buying it and never really doing anything with it Instead the opposite happened To learn different aspects of building Hutchison turned to YouTube Patrick and his friend Indy cleaning up the new deck after their first work party at the cabin Matt Badger Hutchison credits much of his building knowledge to a mix of traditional shows like This Old House which he watched on PBS growing up and more recently to YouTube tutorials I ve always loved watching skilled craftsmen restore classic homes he said adding how these videos became his go to resource for learning while fixing up the cabin But the lack of cell service and WiFi at the cabin presented challenges I d watch videos try to memorize the steps and then head up there to apply what I d learned But without the internet it was tricky to recall all the details he said The materials used in the videos often did not match the ones in his home Hutchison s friend Matt adding a cedar deck Patrick Hutchison Even more frustrating however was the cabin s haphazard construction Despite hours of research he often found the cabin didn t match the standard practices shown in tutorials I d learn how to fix a floor joist which were structures that helped support the in house flooring but the structure in front of me had nothing to do with what I d seen So I had to get creative Hutchison said The absence of a fixed deadline meant he could work on each task at his own pace Improvements to the cabin included fitting a small wood stove and building a set of stairs to a second level Patrick Hutchison In a world that demands perfection learning to build gave Hutchison the freedom to be himself But more importantly it allowed him to make and learn from mistakes It felt like the building equivalent of singing in the shower he told BI The absence of constraints also allowed him to approach each challenge with curiosity rather than stress It also helped strengthen Hutchison s friendships and offered a serene escape from city life on weekends Kellen Matt and Hutchison amid the chaos of full roof replacement Kate Palmer It was always a joy to get out there for a few days he said adding It allowed a space for my friends and me to gather and just be in this cozy little intimate space Through laughter games and deep conversations the cabin strengthened their bond A lot of really really good friendships got made stronger in that place Hutchison said Looking back the one thing that Hutchison wishes he had done was get a property survey This picture of the cabin was taken after the roof was installed but the outhouse is in the background Patrick Hutchison Hutchison unknowingly built his outhouse on his neighbor s land a mistake that cost him In the end he had to buy the extra land from his neighbor and pay more for it than he did for the whole cabin A prior property survey would ve prevented this Though reconstructing the cabin was a passion project it also took time and money Reworking the tiny cabin helped Hutchison discover his love for building and led him to pursue a new career path Patrick Hutchison The biggest expense was the land which including fees cost around Beyond that hundreds of hours were spent sourcing materials planning and working on the cabin Other major costs included for a chimney pipe multiple rounds of gravel pouring and tree removal to ensure safety In total Hutchison estimated he spent to out of pocket not counting his labor While he eventually sold the property in for the profit wasn t as large as it seemed People latch onto Oh you bought the cabin for seven and sold it for he said adding but I sold both lots and put all this money into it Ultimately the cabin wasn t a big moneymaker but it changed his life The cabin s real value Hutchison said was that it had helped him find his new career Patrick Hutchison s friend Bryan on the deck of the cabin after breakfast one morning Patrick Hutchison For Hutchison building his career from scratch wasn t about a sudden leap but a gradual shift For over six years he and his friend and fellow builder Bryan Schatz talked about building cabins full time But Hutchison continued working as a copywriter until he felt he could afford the It was a very slow separation said Hutchison but ultimately it allowed him to walk away from his old career and fully dive into his new path as a carpenter In a few years after restoring his first cabin Hutchison and Schatz took on an even bigger challenge buying ¼ acre of land to build a cabin from the ground up not just a Craigslist fixer upper but one of those dreamy snow covered cabins you see while scrolling on Instagram Today Hutchison works full time as a carpenter at Wild Tree Woodworks a Seattle based company that builds treehouses He and Schatz recently sold their latest project Cyclops Cabin and are already on the hunt for their next build Whether that means rehabbing an existing place or starting from scratch we re not really sure he said but yeah building is how I spend my time now Read the original article on

Dion McNeeley in front of the fourth investment property he acquired Courtesy of Dion McNeeley To find deals Dion McNeeley focuses on how many days a property has been on the market The investor targets properties that have been listed for at least three times the average The days on market strategy helped him negotiate a seller down by Real estate investor Dion McNeeley used to prioritize speed when making an offer The first years of investing I wanted to be fast I wanted to get an offer in within a day or two of a property hitting the MLS the veteran investor told Business Insider referring to the multiple listing service Now with that generates enough cash flow to more than cover his lifestyle McNeeley is less focused on acquiring properties quickly and more concerned with finding the best deal To do so he s paying attention to one specific metric the number of days a property has been on the market Generally speaking the longer a home has been on the market the more motivated the seller will be Long is relative to the average time a home sits on the market which varies by location In some areas the average could be in others it could be McNeeley who studies his market in Tacoma Washington by looking at listings daily knows that the average home sits for six to nine days at least in December of His rule of thumb is to take the average and triple it That s the number you re looking for when looking at listings In his case he rounded up the average to and is looking specifically for homes that have been listed for at least days When he comes across a property he likes that meets his days on market criteria he makes an offer that will get him the return he s looking for For example the a duplex that needed a lot of work done had been on the market for over days It was listed for but based on the renovations McNeeley would need to complete he calculated that the deal would only work if he could buy it for significantly less BI verified all of his property ownership claims I offered because that s the number that made sense for me McNeeley said His offer initiated a two month negotiation I never moved from It went from to to to When I got another offer accepted somewhere else I contacted them to say I was pulling my offer They said We ll take your If you re going after a home that s been on the market for longer than average there may be something wrong with it and it s important to do your due diligence Or it could simply be listed poorly Maybe the agent was lazy and took bad pictures or doesn t have it listed correctly said McNeeley In his case it was a bit of both The property which he purchased in July ended up needing worth of renovations which he was prepared for and it wasn t what it appeared on the listing It was listed as a single family home but was actually a duplex which he found out by calling the gas and utility companies and asking how many meters there were It had two meters for electric and two meters for gas Everything about this was duplex but the picture looked like a house and the realtor listed it as a house he said Talking to the gas company he learned that the gas hadn t been paid in months and had been shut off further indicating that he could be working with a motivated seller That s one of the reasons when I offered I didn t raise the number he said figuring If the seller has to sell they ll take my number If they don t have to sell they ll just leave it listed or they ll take it down and not sell So you re not always guaranteed to get a low offer accepted Sometimes people don t have to sell they are just willing to for a higher amount Read the original article on

Attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos World Economic Forum Mattias Nutt The rich and powerful are in Davos Switzerland for day three of the World Economic Forum BI is talking to people on topics from AI to the economy to how consulting firms are gearing up for a big year This is what we re hearing on the ground The World Economic Forum has brought the rich and powerful together to discuss topics ranging from Donald Trump s impact on the economy to AI s impact on their industries This is what Business Insider is hearing and seeing on the ground Meta is trying to reassure advertisers about its moderation changes Mark Zuckerberg s Meta makeover about what changes to content moderation might do for what people start seeing across Facebook and Instagram In a Davos roundtable discussion with BI Nicola Mendelsohn head of Meta s global business group said and trying to reassure them that nothing will change Mendelsohn said advertisers would still be able to stop ads appearing next to political content if they wish What they ve shared back actually is the reassurance that all the commitments that we have to brand safety brand suitability on the platform none of that changes she said Hugh Langley Consulting firms are ready for a big year Consulting firms are ready for what is expected to be a big year for their business thanks to a flurry of potential changes on the horizon There are several macro factors that have been in play for a while AI certainly but also strong economic indicators in the US as well as the current pro growth sentiment in the market as a result of the incoming administration So there might be an uptick in business activity Sharon Marcil BCG s North America chair and a managing director and senior partner told me A massive ramp up comes with issues though as was evident in when the surge in M A activity led to employee burnout across financial services A complete repeat of s record year seems unlikely but there are still staffing considerations It s a tricky balance You need enough workers so resources aren t stretched too thin while avoiding a surplus where there is not enough work to go around An immediate fix also isn t easy as bringing on new talent requires a necessary training period And good luck telling clients to hold off on deals especially after so many have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the market to open up For us periods of increased activity force us to predict staffing And that can sometimes be hard There is a sweet spot between being understaffed and overstaffed If we find we haven t gone far enough we try other approaches like off cycle hiring It s definitely a balancing act Marcil said Dan DeFrancesco We need a new institution to ensure human like AI doesn t harm humanity Google DeepMind s CEO said Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and Bill Nye speak at Google Haus in Davos Hugh Langley Business Insider Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis had a busy Tuesday here with two near back to back interviews at Google Haus If there was one big takeaway it was Hassabis saying we re not thinking enough about the AI bigger picture I think there s way too much hype in the short term he said Actually it s underrated still underappreciated the amount of transformation that s going to happen in the medium to long term so the five to years he added In response to a question from BI Hassabis said he believed there were big questions around capitalism and society that need to be pondered One of the big things economists should be thinking about is what does that do to money the capitalist system even the notion of companies I think all of that changes Hassbis said we need an institution that can meet the moment a governing body that can ensure artificial general intelligence or AGI is managed in a way that benefits humankind That would be where you put a wise council an international council of very diverse and smart people from different backgrounds Not just technologists I m talking about philosophers social scientists writers et cetera But who is building that institute is what I would ask And I think we really need that He also discussed his work on protein folding with AlphaFold which recently earned him a Nobel Prize And who better to discuss the science than Bill Nye the science guy who took the mic for the second interview Hugh Langley Proper snow boots are the way to go here BI s Dan DeFrancesco is combining a suit with snow boots for the ultimate Davos look Dan DeFrancesco Business Insider We re three days in and we ve yet to touch one of the most interesting debates I ve found at Davos footwear Being that we re in the mountains the abundance of snow and ice means opting for typical business shoes or heels isn t necessarily your best bet Boots of varying degrees of heftiness and fashion sense are a popular choice They don t call it suits and boots for nothing Others wear spikes that can be taken on and off Personally I ve gone all in opting for proper snow boots Wearing them with my suit every day is a bit jarring However my daughter thinks I look like Kristoff from Frozen so that s a win Of course some people throw caution to the wind and still opt for their dress shoes Davos is a lot about status and the luxury of wearing normal shoes since you re being chauffeured around speaks to that Dan DeFrancesco Read the original article on

by and ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power Sign up to receive as soon as they re published The U S Department of Education on Thursday told employees that it would lift its monthlong freeze on investigating discrimination complaints at schools and colleges across the country but only to allow disability investigations to proceed That means that thousands of outstanding complaints filed with the department s Office for Civil Rights related to race and gender discrimination most of which are submitted by students and families will continue to sit idle That includes cases alleging unfair discipline or race based harassment for example I am lifting the pause on the processing of complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of disability Effective immediately please process complaints that allege only disability based discrimination Craig Trainor the office s acting director wrote in an internal memo obtained by ProPublica It was sent to employees in the enforcement arm of the office most of whom are attorneys A spokesperson for the department did not immediately respond to a request for comment ProPublica reported last week that the Department of Education had investigations an unusual move even during a presidential transition Department employees said they had been told not to communicate with students families and schools involved in cases that were launched in previous administrations describing the edict as a gag order and saying they had been essentially muzzled The office has opened only a handful of new cases since the inauguration of President Donald Trump and nearly all of them reflect his priorities The investigations target a school district s gender neutral bathroom and institutions that have allowed transgender athletes to participate in women s sports Other prioritized investigations involve allegations of discrimination against white students or of anti semitism As of last week the OCR had opened about new investigations in all a low number compared with similar periods in prior years More than new cases were opened in the same time period last year for example The OCR has had a backlog of cases for years there were about pending investigations when Trump took office Some had been open for more than a decade which civil rights advocates said failed to bring relief to students when they needed it About half of the pending investigations are related to students with disabilities who feel they ve been mistreated or unfairly denied help at school according to a ProPublica analysis of department data Investigators were pursuing about active complaints of racial discrimination including unfair discipline and racial harassment An additional roughly complaints were specific to sexual harassment or sexual violence the analysis found The remainder concern a range of discrimination claims Ignoring or attacking disability rights would be politically unpopular said Harold Jordan of the American Civil Liberties Union who works on education equity issues across the country They don t want to be seen as shutting down all the disability claims he said But complaints typically investigated by the OCR many related to discrimination against students of color do not align with Trump s priorities on racial bias which so far have related to prejudice against white students They will pick up race cases once people file essentially reverse discrimination complaints Jordan said The OCR in fact decided this month that it would investigate a complaint filed in August by the Equal Protection Project a conservative nonprofit that alleges the Ithaca City School District in New York excluded white students by hosting an event called the Students of Color Summit The Biden administration had not acted on the complaint but new Education Department leaders decided within days that the agency would proceed with an investigation Thursday s memo also included a revised case manual which details how the office will investigate and resolve complaints that allege violations of civil rights law During the previous administration investigators had the authority to open systemic inquiries when there was evidence of widespread civil rights issues or multiple complaints of the same type of discrimination at a school district or college That ability to launch wider investigations appears to have been stripped under Trump there is no mention of systemic investigations in the new manual The manual also no longer includes gender neutral references people alleging violations of their rights have been replaced by his or her in Trump s updated version That aligns with his recent anti transgender policies and his view that there are only two genders The shifts at the OCR come as Trump has called the Education Department a con job and is expected to issue an executive order that it be dismantled Last week that they have two weeks to eliminate race as a factor in admissions financial aid hiring and training or risk losing federal funding Under any banner discrimination on the basis of race color or national origin is has been and will continue to be illegal Trainor wrote During the past two weeks that mostly focused on education research and data on learning and the country s schools The cuts were made at the behest of known as the Department of Government Efficiency which said it also ended dozens of training grants for educators that it deemed wasteful But recent contract terminations touted by Musk s team as ridding the department of waste and ending diversity programs also for some students with disabilities

by ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power Sign up to receive as soon as they re published This story is exempt from our Creative Commons license until March On a Thursday morning last May about a hundred people gathered in the atrium of the Ohio Capitol building to join in Christian worship The Prayer at the Statehouse was organized by an advocacy group called the Center for Christian Virtue whose growing influence was symbolized by its new headquarters directly across from the capitol It was also manifest in the officials who came to take part in the event three state legislators and the ambitious lieutenant governor Jon Husted After some prayer and singing the center s Christian Engagement Ambassador introduced Husted asking him to share with us about faith and intersecting faith with government Husted a youthful year old spoke intently about the prayer meetings that he leads in the governor s office each month We bring appointed officials and elected officials together to talk about our faith in our work in our service and how it can strengthen us and make us better he said The power of prayer Husted suggested could even supply political victories When we do that great things happen like advancing school choice so that every child in Ohio has a chance to go to the school of their choice The audience started applauding before he finished his sentence The center had played a key role in bringing about one of the most dramatic expansions of private school vouchers in the country making it possible for all Ohio families even the richest among them to receive public money to pay for their children s tuition In the mid s Ohio became the second state to offer vouchers but in those days they were available only in Cleveland and were billed as a way for disadvantaged children to escape struggling schools Now the benefits extend to more than students across the state costing taxpayers nearly billion the vast majority of which goes to the Catholic and evangelical institutions that dominate the private school landscape there What happened in Ohio was a stark illustration of a development that has often gone unnoticed perhaps because it is largely taking place away from blue state media hubs In the past few years school vouchers have become universal in a dozen states including Florida Arizona and North Carolina Proponents are pushing to add Texas Pennsylvania Tennessee and others and with Donald Trump returning to the White House they will likely have federal support The risks of universal vouchers are quickly coming to light An initiative that was promoted for years as a civil rights cause helping poor kids in troubled schools is threatening to become a nationwide money grab Many private schools are raising tuition rates to take advantage of the new funding and new schools are being founded to capitalize on it With private schools the money is flowing mostly to and to kids who are already enrolled in private schools When vouchers do draw students away from public districts they threaten to exacerbate declining enrollment More immediately the cost of the programs is soaring putting pressure on public school finances even as private schools prosper In Arizona voucher expenditures are hundreds of millions of dollars more than predicted leaving States that provide funds to families for homeschooling or education related expenses are contending with reports that the money is being used to cover such as kayaks video game consoles and horseback riding lessons The voucher movement has been aided by a handful of billionaire advocates it was also enabled during the pandemic by the backlash to extended school closures Private schools often reopened considerably faster than public schools Yet much of the public even in conservative states remains ambivalent about vouchers Voters in Nebraska and Kentucky just How then has the movement managed to triumph The campaign in Ohio provides an object lesson a model that voucher advocates have deployed elsewhere Its details are recorded in a trove of private correspondence much of it previously unpublished that the movement s leaders in Ohio sent to one another The letters reveal a strategy to start with targeted programs that placed needy kids in parochial schools then fight to expand the benefits to far richer families a decadeslong effort by a network of politicians church officials and activists all united by a conviction that the separation of church and state is illegitimate As one of the movement s progenitors put it Government does a lousy job of substituting for religion In the early s Ohio s Catholic bishops faced a problem For more than a century religious education had been deeply entrenched in the state in Cleveland the parochial system was one of the largest in the country For decades though the Church s urban schools had been losing students to suburban flight To keep up enrollment many were admitting more Black students often from non Catholic families But these families typically could not afford to pay much which put a strain on church budgets Catholic leaders elsewhere faced the same challenge but Ohio s bishops had an advantage The new Republican governor George Voinovich was a devout Catholic who went to Mass multiple times a week an expression of a faith that was inherited from his Slovenian American mother and deepened by the loss of his year old daughter who was struck by a van that ran a red light An unpretentious Midwesterner who loved fishing in Lake Erie Voinovich had worked his way up from state legislator to mayor of Cleveland before becoming governor in If we could reconstitute the family and get everyone into Church the late Ohio Gov George Voinovich told the bishop of Columbus in a private letter years ago of the problems we are confronted with would go away Najlah Feanny Corbis Getty Images In office Voinovich corresponded frequently with the state s most prominent bishops in Cleveland Columbus and Cincinnati Their letters which are collected in Voinovich s papers at Ohio University show a close and collaborative relationship The bishops wrote to thank Voinovich for the regular donations that he and his wife made to the church which ranged as high as They traded get well wishes and condolence notes The last two times I ve seen you you looked a little tired Voinovich once wrote to Anthony Pilla the bishop of Cleveland Please take care of yourself Most of all they strategized about increasing state funding for Catholic schools As a legislator Voinovich had worked to launch a set of programs that helped private schools pay for administration special education transportation and other services His support for these expenditures which by the early s amounted to more than million stood in contrast with his aggressive efforts to cut the rest of the budget At one point he banned peanuts and other snacks from official state flights Legislators passed around a story about seeing him pluck a penny out of a urinal But Voinovich saw spending on parochial schools as fundamentally different driven by his belief in the value of a Catholic upbringing If we could reconstitute the family and get everyone into Church about of the problems we are confronted with would go away he wrote to James Griffin the bishop of Columbus I can assure you that the money you spend to deal with all the problems confronting the community is much better spent than the way government would spend it Soon after Voinovich became governor he and the bishops began discussing another way to fund Catholic schools vouchers The notion of publicly funded subsidies for private schools wasn t totally new After courts ordered school integration in the South in the s some municipalities helped finance for white students At around the same time the economist Milton Friedman argued that education should be subject to market forces in part by paying parents to send their children to a school of their choosing But no city or state had funded a true voucher initiative For the state government there was an obvious risk to funding Catholic schools the Ohio Constitution says that no preference shall be given by law to any religious society Voinovich and his aides worried not only about political repercussions but also about the potential for legal challenges from groups like the ACLU In April Voinovich intimated to Pilla that he was recruiting proxies who could obscure their alliance We are quietly lining up heavy hitters in the business community and are trying to identify someone in the legislature who would be willing to become our advocate he wrote Voinovich had an ideal partner in David Brennan a well connected local businessman A towering presence at feet not counting his customary cowboy hat Brennan had attended Catholic school in Akron before earning degrees in accounting and law and made a fortune forming corporations for doctors seeking tax benefits When Voinovich ran for governor Brennan was a major fundraiser for the campaign Now he started cultivating allies donating heavily to a Republican from the Cincinnati suburbs who was a promising sponsor of voucher legislation as reported by the Akron Beacon Journal which In May Voinovich and Brennan met to discuss creating a commission on school choice which Brennan would chair Soon afterward the bishops provided suggestions for possible members Six of them ended up on the commission with no mention of the fact that they had been selected by the church As word of the commission spread it raised concerns The following spring an executive at Procter Gamble one of the state s largest employers urged Voinovich to couch this sensitive issue in a broader effort at school reform Vouchers on their own could lead to unnecessary divisiveness he wrote The head of the Ohio teachers union warned that unilateral action could explode any chance at building a statewide consensus Voinovich responded that he was prepared for discord I am confident that whatever recommendations they come back with it will be difficult for the Ohio Federation of Teachers to support The commission was moving fast Brennan is doing an outstanding job Voinovich wrote to Pilla He is on a mission from God Voinovich and Brennan took care to disarm political objections One briefing document argued that any plan the commission produced must be substantially tilted in favor of low income parents and children and must require private schools to administer the same proficiency tests as public schools By year s end the commission produced its recommendation Ohio should create a voucher pilot program Representative C J Prentiss monitored the commission s work with foreboding Elected to the Ohio House in Prentiss had distinguished herself as a leading defender of public education and was steeped in the struggle for school integration Her father had belonged to the Congress of Racial Equality and after Prentiss graduated from Cleveland s Marshall High School where she was one of six Black students she attended the March on Washington Later she joined local battles against school segregation during which she met Michael Charney a white teacher and union activist who became her third husband She taught for a while in the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights and served on the State Board of Education In she and other Black officials in Cleveland condemned Voinovich s plan It is difficult to see how subsidizing private schools will improve public education she said Private schools have selective entrance requirements serve only private purposes and are not accountable to the public Brennan deflected the criticism noting that the plan was still provisional We believe when the education choice bill reaches the final stages these fine legislators will feel differently than they do today In fact he and Voinovich knew that it would be tough to secure backing for a stand alone voucher bill school board members teachers and administrators were already sending letters to legislators to object In May Voinovich contacted Brennan to strategize about how to slip a voucher pilot into the next state budget We are going to have to crawl before we walk he wrote I believe if we can really get it underway in one or two districts during my second term we will have accomplished more than what has been accomplished thus far A few weeks later Voinovich s assistant for education policy Tom Needles sent him a strategy brief on a forthcoming lunch with the bishops The Catholic Conference will continue to maintain a low profile in terms of its formal position on voucher legislation Needles wrote At the same time the Conference recognizes that parent organizations in each diocese will play a very active role in lobbying for its passage On the last day of January voucher proponents paid for six buses to carry some children and parents from Cleveland to the Capitol in order to lobby legislators As parents walked from office to office in the Statehouse one declared The public schools are preparing Black children for prison the welfare office or the graveyard As a Black parent that s unacceptable Prentiss and a state senator from Cleveland decided to address the throng With the parents visibly angry she knew better than to dismiss concerns about their children s schooling There is a crisis she acknowledged The question before us is how do we improve the public schools The bishops though were far more organized with efforts unfolding parish by parish across the state a list in Voinovich s papers records hundreds of phone calls and letters to legislators making the case for vouchers and inviting them to visit local parish schools Voinovich urged them to do still more I really need your help and would appreciate being kept informed as to what is being done so I can convey that to the leadership in both the House and Senate he wrote to Daniel Pilarczyk the archbishop of Cincinnati in February The next month Pilarczyk responded with another list of the church s actions including some letters sent to legislators Two weeks later Voinovich let Pilarczyk know that the House had not only increased funding for Catholic schools but also authorized a limited scholarship program in the City of Cleveland The program would start small with several thousand vouchers worth about apiece Yet Voinovich recognized that it was a significant pilot project At the time the only other city that allowed private school vouchers was Milwaukee and the initiative there had initially barred religious schools from participating Cleveland s program in contrast had been designed from the start to benefit Catholic schools In June the budget won final approval Six bishops wrote Voinovich to express their gratitude Everything we asked you to do was included in your budget they told him Without your leadership and gentle nudging of legislative leaders none of this would have been possible Prentiss and Charney quickly grasped the pilot s import This is the beginning of the end for public education he told her only half joking Prentiss resolved to monitor the program to make sure that the money was spent as intended After one voucher recipient an Islamic school was found to have housed students in unsafe buildings she successfully sponsored a bill requiring schools that received vouchers to meet the same minimum standards as public schools Meanwhile Prentiss kept pushing for public school reforms all day kindergarten smaller classes mentorships for at risk boys She and Charney were encouraged by test results showing that kids in public schools were performing at least as well as those with vouchers at Catholic schools There is a crisis the late Ohio state legislator C J Prentiss a key opponent of vouchers acknowledged in The question before us is how do we improve the public schools Gus Chan AP Images In Voinovich was elected to the United States Senate Needles his aide went to work as a lobbyist for Brennan And the push for vouchers entered a new phase as an aggressive generation of proponents took up a battle in the courts In both Ohio and Wisconsin opponents led by teachers unions were challenging the programs on the grounds that they violated the separation of church and state The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld vouchers a federal appeals court in Ohio ruled against them The U S Supreme Court took up a First Amendment challenge to vouchers based on one of the Ohio cases in February Robert Chanin a lawyer for the National Education Association told the court Under the Cleveland voucher program millions of dollars in unrestricted public funds are transferred each year from the state treasury into the general coffers of sectarian private schools and the money is used by those schools to provide an educational program in which the sectarian and the secular are interwoven Chanin noted that virtually all the students in the voucher program were attending religious schools rather than secular private schools But Justice Sandra Day O Connor the likely swing vote in the case interrupted to pick up on a point made by a state attorney who d defended the vouchers In evaluating Cleveland s choice program shouldn t the court consider not only private schools but also other options available to students such as public magnet schools and charter schools The question caught Chanin off guard The issue was the constitutionality of private school vouchers yet O Connor was evoking public school options The state pressed its advantage with its lawyer stressing the limited scope of the pilot It didn t take too much money away from the public schools but gave enough for a limited program that is targeted to the most needy to the poorest of the poor On June the Court announced that it had arguing that it was part of a broader undertaking by the State to enhance the educational options of Cleveland s school children Clint Bolick a leading lawyer on the pro voucher side declared on the Supreme Court plaza This was the Super Bowl of school choice and the children won Later he and others gathered at the office of the Institute for Justice a conservative organization and toasted with Dom Pérignon Protesters gathered in February when the U S Supreme Court heard arguments about the constitutionality of Ohio s voucher program Mark Wilson Getty Images Prentiss was on vacation with Charney in Washington state when she got word of the ruling PBS NewsHour invited her to come to a studio in Vancouver and record a response but she was too upset to think about what she would say on camera I m not going to be the one she told Charney Let them get a lawyer After the Supreme Court ruling the momentum in seeking alternatives to traditional public schools shifted to charter schools publicly funded institutions that are administered separately from school districts Many Democrats had championed charters in the s as a more palatable way to offer school choice and Republicans had adopted the idea too Brennan the chairman of Voinovich s school choice commission launched a for profit charter school venture In with charters threatening to cut into parochial school enrollment Ohio s Catholic bishops secured a crucial expansion of vouchers beyond Cleveland a new statewide program called EdChoice which offered vouchers to students assigned to schools that were judged to be failing many of them in Columbus and Cincinnati Prentiss stayed in the legislature until becoming the second Black woman to serve as Senate minority leader Up until the end she led the resistance to vouchers As she left the legislature though an impassioned advocate for vouchers came in a Republican representative named Matt Huffman Huffman was a lawyer from Lima a small industrial city in western Ohio Like Prentiss he had grown up among activists but with different political aims His father a lawyer and a county prosecutor took a case against a local cinema that was showing obscene movies all the way to the U S Supreme Court his mother co founded one of the state s first pregnancy crisis centers after abortion was legalized Huffman was the fifth of nine children all of whom went to Catholic schools This was possible he said later because the parish schools were so affordable in those days But as tuition climbed partly to cover the salaries of lay teachers who replaced nuns the student body skewed wealthier The middle class was pretty much shut out of alternatives in education he told the Columbus Dispatch in One of Huffman s brothers became the principal of a Catholic elementary school Huffman after following his father into law served as a fundraiser for Lima Central Catholic High He also got involved in local politics rising to president of the City Council In he endorsed a young former Ohio State wrestling coach named Jim Jordan as he ran for the state Senate Jordan who is now one of the most stridently conservative members of the U S House of Representatives later returned the favor by backing Huffman s campaign for the state legislature By this point school choice was becoming Huffman s overriding priority In Lima he participated in a standing gin rummy game with the Rev David Ross a local Catholic priest and Leo Hawk the owner of a metal forming company who in Ross recollection repeatedly pressed Huffman on the issue Leo Hawk was very influential in terms of trying to inculcate him with Let the parents decide where to spend their tax dollars Ross told me Leo was very forceful in those gatherings Hawk could not be reached for comment During Huffman s first four years in the legislature the governor was a Democrat and the focus was on protecting existing vouchers But after the Republican John Kasich took office in Huffman proposed a significant expansion making vouchers available to middle class Ohio families too regardless of whether they were in a failing district This is starting down the path of looking at funding education in a fundamentally different way he said The proposal met with impassioned resistance Opponents pointed to a that showed voucher students had performed worse than students at the public schools that they would have attended Among the critics were public school administrators in Lima where hundreds of students were already receiving vouchers because a few local schools were rated as failing The exodus of students resulted in a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in state revenue As Lima s school superintendent at the time Karel Oxley explained to me Even if a class lost students the school still had to pay for their classroom and teacher To complicate matters the students who left tended to be motivated kids from stable families while special needs students stayed This made it harder for public schools to improve their poor test scores You have to have your A team to help the school be as good as possible but the A team moves over to the other school Oxley who also served as president of the state superintendents association said It s almost impossible to catch up Oxley is herself Catholic and consults for a Catholic school in retirement but she testified against vouchers at a committee hearing around this time She recalled that Huffman was adamant There was nothing I could have said that would have allowed him to see that he might be stripping resources from the greater community she told me He said You pay taxes I pay taxes Why can t my taxes go toward my children s school I said Because you chose that private school He said That doesn t make sense Karel My taxes should pay for my child s education Huffman did not respond to requests for comment Huffman settled for a partial victory In the state allowed EdChoice vouchers for families with incomes up to twice the poverty line in any district It was a step forward but Huffman wanted the program to be available to wealthier families and it would take another ally to help him realize his full ambition Phil Burress was always candid about what had brought him to Citizens for Community Values He was a former pornography addict Burress had fought the addiction from the age of until he finally swore it off at I became a Christian that day he told me From then on he said he was a better father and husband and started speaking out about things that are wrong His background gave him insight into the enemy You have to look at your communities through the eyes of a pornographer and stay ahead of them he once told reporters Burress a former organizer with the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks joined Citizens for Community Values in By then the organization which started as a Cincinnati prayer group had devoted itself to fighting pornography and strip clubs including various enterprises belonging to Larry Flynt who launched his Hustler brand in Ohio In it gained national prominence by leading the opposition to an exhibit of Robert Mapplethorpe photographs at Cincinnati s Contemporary Arts Center Not long afterward Burress took over as president We are not some radical right wing fundamental bunch of Bible thumping nuts out there yelling and screaming Burress said at the time We do our homework The group grew under Burress by it claimed to have supporters and started taking on nationwide causes such as pressuring hotels to stop offering pay per view porn In it led a successful petition drive for an amendment banning same sex marriage in Ohio a factor in George W Bush s narrow win over John Kerry there I was thinking No way we can get that many signatures Lori Viars a conservative activist in the Cincinnati exurbs told me But we ended up doing it The victory attracted more funding which the group used to hire full time lobbyists in Columbus Its top issues were abortion same sex marriage gay rights and increasingly school choice Though the members were mostly evangelical not Catholic they shared the conviction that the public should pay for kids to attend religious schools Still Burress told me the group struggled to persuade legislators to expand voucher access We could not get any traction whatsoever he said What changed matters was electing the right people to office You have to look at your communities through the eyes of a pornographer and stay ahead of them said Phil Burress a former leader of the Center for Christian Virtue which has become a leading advocate for vouchers Al Behrman AP Images In Matt Huffman arrived in the state Senate He had served the maximum eight years in the House and like many other Ohio legislators simply ran for the other chamber In the Senate school choice remained his primary cause That year he sponsored a bill to expand eligibility for vouchers to families that made as much as four times the poverty level Catholic leaders were thrilled I don t think I ve ever seen a legislator who did more for school choice a former employee of the Catholic Conference of Ohio the church s public policy arm said He s just been a rock Huffman still faced resistance from public school officials but he now had influential assistance from Citizens for Community Values In Burress was succeeded by a new director Aaron Baer who signaled a more expansive mission Baer was a year old graduate of Ohio University a hip hop enthusiast raised by a single parent This is a Christian conservative movement for the next generation he told the Dispatch We talk about poverty human trafficking opioids while still talking about marriage The organization moved its headquarters to Columbus and gave itself a forthright new name the Center for Christian Virtue Burress welcomed the change I was glad to see them admit that without God we re nothing he told me Baer and Huffman were unlikely allies Huffman liked to do impersonations and had a profane streak he was once forced to apologize for making an off color joke at an office party But on vouchers they were effective partners with Baer far more willing to advocate in public than the bishops were In the next couple of years Baer fought to get the state to define failing schools as broadly as possible and called out suburban districts many of which opposed vouchers when they resisted accepting students from struggling city schools By early Huffman was still trying to make the case for a major voucher expansion That January he met with a few dozen public school officials in western Ohio Craig Kupferberg the superintendent for Allen County which includes Lima told me that he d raised his hand and asked Huffman Have you put anything in the bill to stop the David Dukes of the world from starting up their own private schools and having our tax dollars fund their hateful ideology Kupferberg recalled that Huffman had looked at him like I was from outer space and said What stops homeschooling parents from doing any of that Never mind that vouchers weren t going to homeschooling families Then Huffman embarked on a lengthy complaint about how many people viewed Catholicism as a cult You pay taxes I pay taxes Matt Huffman now the speaker of Ohio s House of Representatives told the president of the state superintendents association Why can t my taxes go toward my children s school Carolyn Kaster AP Images Huffman s proposal stalled again that term But two months later the pandemic arrived and schools closed After nearly a year about a third of Ohio s districts still hadn t returned to full in person instruction The holdouts included many of the largest districts Cleveland and Columbus among them The state s parochial schools in contrast had mostly reopened after a few months The Catholic Conference of Ohio highlighted students educational gains in the legislature A lot of legislators appreciated what we did for children because a lot of legislators were frustrated too the former conference employee said We were sort of a beacon in the COVID era It helped proponents that many legislators had their own children in Catholic schools Although Catholics account for only about of the state s population they constitute more than half of the Senate and a third of the House As the pandemic wore on school closures inspired similar outrage in other states They sparked a parent revolution because families saw that school systems didn t care about them all that much Corey DeAngelis a leading voucher proponent last May This is the silver lining of the pandemic Many parents were alarmed by virtual instruction It was not just that lessons conducted by Zoom seemed frustratingly inadequate they also offered a glimpse of what their children were being taught which in some families caused consternation over a perceived progressive agenda Viars the Cincinnati area activist noticed a surge of interest in Christian schools The books being pushed on these little kids were so objectionable she said It was really sexually explicit material for little kids We heard that a lot No these kids should not be seeing any of this In May two Republican representatives in Ohio introduced a backpack bill which would give every family voucher money to spend as they saw fit for each high school student and for each younger one At Baer stood beside its sponsors In the pandemic we saw the need to have innovative and different learning environments he said You had some families who because their local public schools decided not to open for in person education they were forced into an online environment that wasn t ideal for them The bill went a step further than Huffman had before whereas he had pushed for vouchers for all but the wealthiest families the backpack bill included everyone It was a bold move but proponents had a new advantage earlier that year Huffman s Republican colleagues had elected him president of the Senate In that role not only was he able to push for vouchers he could also block efforts to reform Ohio s redistricting system which had produced maps heavily slanted toward the GOP By the Senate had Republicans and eight Democrats the House was split to We can kind of do what we want Huffman told the Dispatch Yet Huffman and his allies decided not to advance the backpack bill through regular legislative channels which would require stand alone votes in both chambers Opposition lingered even within their own party were conscious that there were few private schools in their districts and so their constituents tax dollars would go toward vouchers used mostly by wealthy suburbanites And if more private schools did open in rural areas that would drain enrollment from public schools that often served as centers of the community Instead Huffman and his counterparts used a maneuver that would have been familiar to George Voinovich they slipped an expansion of vouchers into the budget a page document that they sent to Gov Mike DeWine just before the deadline Families with incomes of up to of the poverty level would qualify for full payments for high school students and for younger ones These sums came close to covering tuition at many Catholic schools and far exceeded what many public districts received in per capita funds from the state Even families making more than that income threshold which was for a family of four would qualify for some funding Every student in Ohio will be eligible for a scholarship worth at least of the maximum scholarship regardless of income Huffman s office said More than years after Voinovich and the bishops proposed vouchers as a solution for underprivileged children in a single city public subsidies for private school tuition were now universal in Ohio covering tens of thousands of families We re going to have the money to pay for it Huffman said afterward I hope more people take advantage of that if they want to C J Prentiss died last April at She had spent her retirement with Charney in a cottage on Lake Erie in Ashtabula County In her final years declining health kept her from engaging much in the battle over public education But she did have a confrontation with Huffman when she returned to Columbus for a Senate reunion in Several speakers had been chosen for the event and when Prentiss saw that they were all white she asked Huffman about it According to Charney Huffman responded that he didn t have enough time to line up others Don t lie to me Prentiss said and walked away That same year a coalition of school districts filed suit against the voucher expansion The suit alleged that the program exacerbated racial segregation by essentially allowing private schools to select their own students of the new voucher recipients are white in a state where only about two thirds of students are The suit also alleged that the vouchers violated two principles of the state constitution a bar against religious control of public school funds and a promise of an adequate education for all A judge denied the state s motion to dismiss the case a trial is expected in the coming months Among the districts that joined the suit is the one in Lima Huffman s home town Virtually all the students enrolled in Catholic schools there now receive vouchers Enrollment at these and other parochial schools has not increased dramatically as is true across the state they have limited capacity so they accept only those students they prefer This undermines the narrative that vouchers allow families to escape their public school But public schools still suffer Kupferberg the superintendent estimates that in his county the voucher expansion is costing schools millions of dollars a year Federal pandemic relief aid has helped mitigate the damage but that is coming to an end We re starting to feel the impact Kupferberg said Meanwhile some private schools are raising tuition knowing that vouchers allow families to pay more In Centerville south of Columbus the principal of Incarnation Catholic School told parents last year that it would no longer offer a discount for families that had multiple students enrolled there Our parishioner tuition rate is nowhere near the true cost to educate she wrote This increased revenue will allow us to increase teacher and staff salaries address deferred maintenance and hire additional staff Huffman and his allies are pushing for more Huffman who has now moved back to the House and was recently elected speaker inserted into the last state budget with an eye toward creating private school options in rural areas Also on the table is legislation to create education savings accounts for families with children in unregulated private schools that now can t receive vouchers For these coming fights the Center for Christian Virtue is stronger than ever The organization has assembled a network of dozens of religious schools which pay the center per enrolled student up to per school to lobby on their behalf In effect the state s religious schools can now use some of the public money they receive to advocate for the flow of funding to increase Between and the center s revenue more than tripled to million It used some of the money to purchase two buildings opposite the statehouse one previously owned by the Dispatch for a total of million giving it space to accommodate a staff that has grown to The Center for Christian Virtue did not respond to a request for comment In early October the center held a policy conference called the Essential Summit at the Greater Columbus Convention Center A main topic of discussion was Christian education with sessions led by the executive director of the Center for Biblical Integration at Liberty University the college founded by the Rev Jerry Falwell One session would address the question How should we plan for teaching knowing that humans are inherently corrupt Another asked Why do Christian educators have the most dignifying approach to all humans Huffman was slated to join a discussion with the president of Hillsdale College a small Christian school in Michigan that has become a powerful incubator of conservatism Also in attendance was Kevin Roberts the president of the Heritage Foundation which produced the policy blueprint for the second Trump administration The plan called Project includes a strong endorsement of vouchers and Roberts presence was an affirmation of Ohio s role as a model for the school choice movement In Florida the number of voucher recipients approached half a million this school year up The state distributes the same voucher about regardless of income In Texas Gov Greg Abbott helped to defeat in state legislative primaries last year He had million in campaign funding from Jeff Yass a Pennsylvania hedge fund billionaire who has made expanding vouchers his central policy goal At the convention center conference staff turned me away even though I had paid to register I hung around as attendees emerged from the morning session their tote bags filled with brochures for Christian schools investing advice and health coverage Many of the event s discussions were aimed at religious schools that were now supported with public funds But as I was about to approach Roberts security guards blocked the path and told me to leave

A year old man named Tykwon Anderson has been arrested in the theft of college sports stars Carson Beck and Hanna Cavinder s luxury cars
|
Police in Florida have arrested a man in connection with the theft of luxury vehicles from the home of two University of Miami star athletes: football quarterback Carson Beck and women's basketball guard Hanna Cavinder.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff's office announced on Friday morning that they were able to arrest a suspect in connection with the theft of three cars belonging to the couple.
An arrest report says 20-year-old Tykwon Deandre Anderson has been charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling while wearing a mask, as well as grand theft and grand theft of a vehicle.
The report states that the burglary and theft took place around 2:45am on Thursday morning - with Beck and Cavinder both sleeping in the residence at the time.
Officers responded at 7:00am after Beck discovered that his silver Mercedes-Benz E-645 and Lamborghini Urus were stolen - along with a Range Rover belonging to Cavinder.
Per the report, Anderson and three other Black men arrived at the house in a Mercedes-Benz and two thieves jumped over the concrete fence to gain access to the driveway.
Officers say one thief burglarized the Range Rover, where they found the garage door opener. He used that to gain access to the house and steal the key fobs to the vehicles in the living room of the building.
It was then that the thieves took the vehicles. The Range Rover and Mercedes were both found later on Thursday. It's not clear about the status of the Lamborghini.
Detectives were able to make an arrest after discovering that Anderson had rented the Mercedes that the thieves arrived in. Anderson was found in the rental car, pulled over, and arrested.
Anderson provided a full confession to officers, admitted to being the driver of the Lamborghini, and 'explained in detail how the burglary occurred.'
Bond has not been set for Anderson and he's currently being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
Beck and Cavinder have been a couple since last year, after they were spotted together during Fourth of July weekend in a TikTok video on the popular Cavinder Twins' profile.
Hanna and Haley Cavinder are identical twins that both play for the Hurricanes' women's basketball team and have a massive social-media following.
Beck played for Georgia's football team for five seasons before a lucrative transfer to Miami kept him in college as one of the highest-paid athletes under the NCAA banner.
Beck had brand deals with Beats By Dre, Powerade, and Chipotle before making the switch to Miami. Now, he has a reported NIL value of $4.3million, the third-highest of a college athlete, per On3.
Cavinder herself is the sixth-highest earning female in college sports, one slot behind twin Haley, as the duo have a combined 5.5million social-media followers.
Cavinder and Beck's cars being stolen is the latest theft in a string of high-profile burglaries of sports stars.
French football star Olivier Giroud has had his house in Los Angele broken into earlier this week.
At the end of last year, the FBI sent a warning out to American professional sports leagues about potential organized burglaries that are specifically targeting superstar athletes.
Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes had his house broken into back on October 6. 48 hours later, the home of his Chiefs teammate, Travis Kelce, had also been hit by thieves.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had his house broken into back in mid-December as he was playing a game on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys.
Just last month, Pittsburgh Penguins hockey star Evgeni Malkin was robbed - with his three Stanley Cup championship rings swiped.
Homes are not the only thing that thieves are targeting. Late in December, a vehicle belonging to the fiancee of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was also hit by burglars.
In addition to Prescott, then-Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic also had his house robbed in late December.
Neither Beck or Cavinder have commented on the situation publicly.

Subscribe here There are two Chicago neighborhoods that are on the surface quite similar They are both more than percent Black the median age of both is roughly About the same share of people have college degrees and the median income of both is roughly But one experiences about twice as many shootings per capita as the other The University of Chicago economist Jens Ludwig opens his forthcoming book Unforgiving Places by describing the neighboring places of Greater Grand Crossing and South Shore both minutes away from the elite university where he teaches Ludwig s argument begins by reframing the problem of gun violence away from the demoralizing story of and toward the more granular variation that differs state by state city by city and yes block by block Whatever you believe about the causes of gun violence in America those beliefs almost surely fail to explain why Greater Grand Crossing would be so much more of a violent place than South Shore Ludwig writes How in a city and a country where guns are everywhere does gun violence occur so unevenly even across such short distances in this case literally right across the street Talking about gun crime almost always turns into talking about gun control legislation a debate that has been happening my entire life and I m sure will continue past my death But on today s episode of Good on Paper Ludwig and I spend little time on that topic focusing instead on policy levers that could reduce gun violence but don t require national gun control legislation The following is a transcript of the episode Jerusalem Demsas In Louisiana had the second highest rate of gun deaths in the country I m just back from a reporting trip to the Lake Charles area and I had a few people remark rather pointedly to me that my home of Washington D C is a violent place seemingly unaware that D C has had a significantly lower rate of gun deaths than Louisiana for many years now Why do some places see higher rates of gun violence than others It s an incredibly important question to answer rigorously Homicide is a leading cause of death for young adults and the vast majority of those homicides happen with guns But this is a topic where the politics rarely line up with actionable solutions After the COVID crime wave politicians have scrambled as they place crime at the top of the agenda again and are searching for public policy tools to address violence in their communities My name s Jerusalem Demsas I m a staff writer at the Atlantic and this is Good on Paper a policy show that questions what we really know about popular narratives My guest today is the economist Jens Ludwig from the University of Chicago who has spent his career studying the economics of crime He has a book coming out in a few months called Unforgiving Places The Unexpected Origins of Gun Violence Jens and I talk about the classic explanations for why gun violence happens in some places and not others He pushes back against the classic right wing explanation that the problem is bad people and the classic left wing argument that solving the problem of gun violence requires ending mass social inequalities first One note about the show We re going to begin adding the studies and articles and books we reference in the show notes so you can easily access them for further reading A link to Jens book will be there too if you d like to investigate his argument further Okay Jens welcome to the show Music Jens Ludwig Thanks so much for having me It s such an honor to be here Demsas Jens you have a book coming out in April called Unforgiving Places What s it about What are you arguing Ludwig The book basically makes two arguments One argument is that we re despairing about the problem of gun violence because we ve thought about it as just all being about gun control and I think that s not true I think the problem of gun violence in America is partly about guns and it s partly about violent behavior And if we can t do anything about the guns we can at least try and do something about the violent behavior And the experiences of L A and New York over the last years show us that there s real progress that you can make there And then I think the other core argument of the book is that violent behavior is not what we ve thought I think most people have thought of violent behavior in America as being about thoughtful deliberate action that leads you to focus on incentives like bigger sticks or more enticing carrots And in fact I think most shootings in America are instead fast thinking reactive it stems from arguments And that leads us away from relying exclusively on incentives and towards a very different type of policy that we just haven t been talking about or thinking about Demsas When I was reading your book there was a stat that just has been rattling around in my brain since I read it You write that shootings account for fewer than percent of all crimes but nearly percent of the total social harm of crime What does that mean And how is that even measured Ludwig Yeah So the way that economists think about that sort of thing is very analogous to how environmental economists think about environmental harm If you go back to the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska a million years ago there s the tangible cost of cleaning up the bay or whatever it is and then there s the sort of social costs that don t show up on any sort of budget spreadsheet anywhere That s the harm to this pristine place now being ruined forever kind of thing And so environmental economists have come up with ways of quantifying those sorts of intangible costs And we can use the same sort of approach to measure the harm for crime as well It basically comes down to what people are willing to pay to avoid exposure to different types of crime And so what you can see is people really don t like disorder They really don t like having their bicycle stolen their car stolen I lived in cities for the last years I ve had almost every sort of property crime that you can imagine happen to me But the thing that people really really are petrified about is staring down the barrel of a gun And I can tell you that from firsthand experience I was held up at gunpoint myself on the South Side of Chicago going to pick up my older daughter from her piano lesson about five years ago My University of Chicago colleague Steve Levitt did a study where he showed that every serious crime that happens in a city reduces the city s population on net by one person so fewer people moving in more people moving out Every murder that happens in a city the overwhelming majority of murders in the United States unfortunately are committed with guns every murder that happens in a city reduces the city s population by people And I think that s another way to sort of see exactly how much the gun violence problem in America is driving the crime problem Demsas I also think it s just remarkable to really think about this in perspective of how much effort we spend in trying to eliminate certain types of crime I mean if percent of total social harm is shootings then the vast majority of our efforts should just be focused on guns And property crime should take a backseat all this sort of thing Intuitively we understand that obviously murder is worse than other forms of crime but I think the degree to which that is driving America s violence problem and crime problem and the harms that ricochet out into communities is I think not well understood Ludwig Yeah I one million percent agree And I think it also sort of helps you see a path to a criminal justice system a law enforcement system that kind of sidesteps a lot of the current political fights that we re having I think everybody agrees that gun violence is a hugely serious problem that we should be holding people accountable for this Even the mayor of Chicago who I think within the political distribution is one of the more progressive elected leaders in the United States he s going around talking about the need to improve the odds that shooters get arrested and wind up behind bars And so I think this much stronger focus on gun violence would be a way to concentrate everything on the thing that the American public really cares the most about It sidesteps a lot of the fraught political debates about how we do enforcement over lots of other things that the public doesn t like but it s not the first order thing that they re worried about Demsas So there s familiar pattern that I think most people are aware of when it comes to the gun policy conversation in the United States and it s There is a tragic mass shooting maybe at a school maybe at a nightclub and then there s this intense rallying to pass gun legislation And economists have quantified this There s a study that showed that a mass shooting leads to a percent increase in the number of firearm bills introduced within a state the year following that shooting Interestingly in states with Republican controlled legislatures those are often laws that loosen gun restrictions But even when looking at Democrat controlled legislatures and laws that tighten gun restrictions studies often struggle to find significant impact of these laws on reducing gun violence reducing deaths reducing mass shootings In your book you also seem kind of pessimistic about the potential for gun legislation to have a large impact on reducing gun deaths Why is that Ludwig Yeah Let me respond in two ways The first is Federal gun laws set a floor not a ceiling on what cities and states can do And so lots of cities and states around the country including my home city of Chicago have enacted gun laws that are more restrictive than what you have under the national law And the problem with that is that we live in a country with open city and state borders So what Gary Indiana is doing about air quality affects the South Side of Chicago and vice versa right And in the same way like my family for the last years has lived in Hyde Park on the South Side of Chicago Our favorite ice cream place in the area is Dairy Belle in Hammond Indiana So we spend minutes driving down there every summer like way too often And when we come back from Indiana into Chicago nobody stops us at the city border to check what we have in our trunk And when you look at where the crime guns are coming from in Chicago almost none of them come from a gun store in Chicago They come from places like you know there are gun stores quite close to Dairy Belle in Indiana that are big sources of crime guns in the city So I think the way that you want to be thinking about gun regulation I think is very analogous to how you would do something like regulate air quality And that s to think about regulation at the national level in a world in which you ve got what an economist would call lots of externalities across jurisdictions in their own laws Demsas But even federal gun control legislation has often felt at least from my overview of the economics literature like it hasn t had a massive impact whether it s assault weapons legislation or other forms of gun control legislation that s passed over the past few decades Is that just a reflection of the fact that these laws are pretty modest in what they re attempting to do Or does that indicate that we can t really attack this problem legislatively Ludwig What I would say is Most of the national gun laws that we ve enacted in the United States are very modest as you said I think the biggest problem with the gun laws that we have in the United States is Most of the laws regulating gun acquisition you know gun sales only apply to gun sales that are basically carried out by a licensed gun dealer And that s something like or percent of all gun sales in the U S And the other percent are almost completely unregulated under federal law Some states try and regulate that but that s not a loophole that s like a chasm that you can drive a truck through And you know when you look at where the guns used in crime come from you wouldn t be surprised to see that s the most important source of crime guns that you see in Chicago and other cities around the country But you know I think the difficulty of cities and states regulating their way out of the gun violence problem and the difficulty of substantially changing national gun laws has led a lot of people to conclude that gun violence in America is a hopeless problem because we can see that the gun control politics are stuck So one way that I ve come to think about this is that that s too pessimistic a view And the reason for that is that gun violence is not just about guns it s about guns plus violence So it s having lots of guns around but also having people who use them to hurt other people And if we can t make much progress on the gun access part of things the good news is that there s a second path to progress which is to try and change the willingness of people to use guns to hurt other people We have something like million guns in the United States in a country of about million people And I think the existence proof that shows us that you really can make a huge difference on the gun violence problem by figuring out how to control violence comes from the Los Angeles and New York City experience over the last years So in the murder rate per people in L A and New York was very similar to Chicago actually at that time It was something like per So to give you a sense of what that means In London the murder rate is something like one or two per So the United States is just totally off the charts Almost all of those extra murders here are committed with firearms And in the year period following that so the peak of the crack cocaine epidemic years after that up through the last year before the pandemic the murder rate in Los Angeles declined by percent the murder rate in New York City declined by percent And those are cities that are swimming in the ocean of you know hundreds of millions of guns in America And I think that speaks to a more optimistic take that it is not a hopeless problem not just that something can be done but that something substantial can be done Demsas The other variation you point to in your book that is what really intrigued me is that Canada and Switzerland also have above average rates of gun ownership but they don t have particularly high rates of murder in line with what we would expect if you just took America s experience And I think I had this kind of model in my head that it s just like If you have this many guns there s nothing you can do Like that s the situation There will be variations based on other things like whether the economy is doing well or whether we re incarcerating people or not or how many cops there are on the street and what they re doing You d still see variations in crime but you would always have some kind of baseline level of criminality But I want to get to the core argument of your book which I think is maybe encapsulated by a pretty provocative question on the back cover which says What if everything we understood about gun violence was wrong This is a very bold claim and I m excited to explore it with you But I think that the first part of that is unpacking what it is that you mean by everything we understand about gun violence You lay out two competing theories that Americans hold about the causes of gun violence One is the root causes theory and one is the wickedness theory Can you just walk us through what those two are Ludwig Yeah the conventional wisdom in America right now says that violent behavior is thought through right So it s either bad people who aren t afraid of whatever the criminal justice system is going to do to them or it s people in bad economic conditions who are desperate in doing whatever they need to do to survive And both of those conventional wisdoms on the right and the left actually have something in common which is They think of gun violence as being sort of a deliberate behavior and that leads us then to focus on incentives to solve the problem You know We need bigger sticks if you re on one side of the aisle or if you re on the other side of the aisle We need more enticing carrots I think the thing that s so striking is that it just doesn t fit with what all of the data tell us gun violence in the United States is Most shootings are not premeditated and most shootings are not motivated by economic considerations They re not robbery They re not drug selling turf That s all what psychologists would call System slow thinking Most shootings instead stem from arguments They re reactive or what psychologists would call System thinking And the fact that so many shootings stem from these sorts of in the moment conflicts that go sideways and end in a tragedy because someone s got a gun that helps explain why deterrence is imperfect Someone acting very reactively is not thinking through a jail sentence And it also helps explain why a social program that s intended to reduce poverty like give somebody a job give somebody cash whatever that also isn t solving the violence problem Demsas I want to hold here a bit because I think this question Are people making rational calculations is both at the heart of a lot of economics and also the heart of what we re going to talk about for the rest of this episode And I accept that I do not think that I or anyone else is constantly doing a benefit cost analysis about every action that I take even if it is as important as whether you pull out a gun and shoot someone But I wonder whether that undersells the rationality that still exists right Because we know that deterrence is possible We know that when we increase the certainty of capture if you know you re going to get caught for shoplifting if you know that you re going to go to jail if you shoot someone that significantly decreases crime incidents And what that indicates to me is that there is a level of benefit cost analysis happening even if people aren t fully using that System part of their brain Ludwig Yeah I one hundred percent agree that deterrence is really a thing I m a card carrying economist I work at the University of Chicago I totally believe that incentives matter and that deterrence is a thing But I think that this really connects very importantly to where we started that gun violence is the part of the crime problem that is the thing that drives the total social cost of crime So in many ways crime is an unhelpfully broad term It s almost like disease What would you do about disease I mean I don t even know how to think about answering that Like What are we talking about Like pneumonia or cancer And crime is a similarly unhelpful super broad umbrella And there was a study for instance done in Sweden a few years ago where they looked at what happened when you put cameras up in the subway system And what you could see is that property crimes go down when you camera up the trains but violent crime doesn t go down right And I think what that tells you partly is that different behaviors are shaped differently The key breakthrough of behavioral economics and behavioral science over the last couple of decades is to realize that our minds work in two different sorts of ways There s the deliberate sort of rational benefit cost calculation that psychologists call System and a sort of very reactive automatic below the level of consciousness cognition that psychologists call System or fast thinking and slow thinking And different behaviors are driven by different types of cognition And so stealing a loaf of bread to feed your family is much more System than what you do in an argument Let me just point the finger at myself first and foremost here I m not saying anything about other people s behavior that is not true of my own behavior I ve lived for years in Hyde Park It s a little University of Chicago village in the middle of the South Side of Chicago Every Wednesday morning I take my dog Aiko out for a little walk One day I m walking down the street and about three or four doors down from me there s a neighbor whose dog is off leash runs down the driveway and attacks my dog Demas Oh God I hate that Ludwig No exactly And this guy the neighbor his kids are literally in the same classroom as mine at the lab school He lives four doors down from me I have every incentive in the world to handle that gracefully and constructively And that s exactly what System rational thinking would have done It turns out That is exactly not what I did in that case I assume this is a podcast where people don t curse but you can only imagine the stream of four letter seven letter and twelve letter words that came out of my mouth at this guy who I m going to be seeing for years into the future I m going to be seeing him at the parent potluck at school And so it really speaks to this idea of In these super high stakes moments where people just don t have very much bandwidth and they are relying on sort of very fast thinking to navigate we are not always our best selves We are not thinking about benefits and costs and things off into the future We can make mistakes All of us can make mistakes And in my case in Hyde Park I was very lucky that neither one of us had a gun But in a country with million guns you know lots of people are in situations like that and behave the way I did and unfortunately they or the other person s got a gun and it ends in tragedy And those tragedies really I would just point out claim two lives Somebody does something stupid in a moment and you know you spend the rest of your life in prison and somebody else winds up dead It s multiple tragedies stemming from that Demsas First is your dog okay Was everything fine Ludwig Yeah she s a big chicken She s like a pound shepherd mix who decided rather than to try and defend herself or whatever she would I don t want to throw my dog under the bus here Everything turned out fine She s a lover not a fighter Laughs Demsas Laughs Your dog also is in System thinking Ludwig Yeah exactly Demsas Well first we ll shout out the late Danny Kahneman here and his Thinking Fast and Slow book which provides much of the foundation of the System System model that you re talking about here But I want to push here a bit because I think one of the common objections people have to this line of argument is that yes it is the case that whether someone s coming at you or you re worried about your dog and you don t react the in the way that you might if you used your logical brain to react if you had time to think but given that if you place every single American in the exact same conditions you still see large variations in how people choose to respond right Like all the people who are in conflicts in the South Side of Chicago do not shoot each other A very small minority of people are choosing to shoot each other even if they have access to a gun And so doesn t that push against this idea that the problem is this System thinking Like there is something particular about the choice to pull out a gun and kill someone in that moment And it s not just Well anyone can make that mistake because even if you think about this demographically we re seeing mostly young men make this mistake and make this choice There is something going on here that is not just You re not able to think under stress Ludwig Let me take your question and sort of turn it on its head for a second One of the things that I point out in the book is like a version of an observation that Jane Jacobs made years ago in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities which is When you look at similarly poor neighborhoods in American cities you see huge variation in crime rates especially violent crime And as I mentioned I lived for a long time in Hyde Park on the South Side of Chicago There are two neighborhoods just south of Hyde Park There s Greater Grand Crossing and South Shore that are socio demographically historically almost identical in terms of their racial and ethnic composition their socioeconomic composition They re adjacent neighborhoods so they ve got exactly the same gun laws they ve got exactly the same social policies When people get caught they get sent to exactly the same court system So all the incentives that conventional wisdom would say would matter are identical And yet the shooting rate per is in most years about twice as high in Greater Grand Crossing than literally across Dorchester Avenue in South Shore Demsas Wow Ludwig So that s sort of taking the premise of your question and noting that the incentive explanation certainly doesn t explain all of the variation that you see in gun violence either So what could it be then I one million percent agree with you that at its core the argument here is People are people and a lot of what determines the outcome of this interpersonal conflict is the situation that someone finds themselves in But if it s not socioeconomics and it s not the characteristics of the criminal justice system what else would it be And I think in many ways Jane Jacobs was really onto something years ago in thinking about what that thing would be To sort of connect an experience that I had in Chicago a couple years ago to Jane Jacobs insight I was in the juvenile detention center on the West Side of Chicago I m talking to a staff leader there and he says I tell all the kids in here If I could give you back just minutes of your lives none of you would be here And one of the insights that Jane Jacobs had years ago is If the problem here is people do things in these minute windows that they later regret you could almost sort of think of fraught social interactions as like a high wire act And one of the ways that you can help people is by what do they do in the circus for high wire performers They have a safety net there And one of the safety nets that you have much more of in some neighborhoods than others is essentially what Jane Jacobs called eyes on the street prosocial adults who are around and able to step in and deconflict things when it happens And you could see exactly that when you look at South Shore versus Greater Grand Crossing So there is for instance much more commercial development in South Shore than in Greater Grand Crossing And what that means in practice is that there s just lots more foot traffic in the community in South Shore than Greater Grand Crossing And so if a group of teenagers is getting into an argument there s more likely to be like a neighborhood adult around to step in It s also the case so my friends Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir have a wonderful book that came out a couple of years ago called Scarcity where they point out that one of the many challenges of being poor in the United States is living in day to day circumstances that tax mental bandwidth It s just very stressful right And people with limited bandwidth wind up relying much more on System than people who are less bandwidth taxed So when you look at the data you can see all sorts of indicators that there s much more stress and bandwidth tax for people living in Greater Grand Crossing than South Shore And what that would lead you to conclude is that the people who are in Greater Grand Crossing are going to be more likely when they re in these difficult minute fraught interactions with somebody else to rely on System to navigate that than their more deliberate rational benefit cost calculating selves So I think the sort of left of center perspective that there are root causes that matter is definitely right I think it s totally right for property crime you know crimes shaped by economic considerations I think it s just a little bit incomplete with respect to the part of the crime problem that the public cares the most about which is gun violence And so I think we just need to expand our lens about what aspects of the social environment we want to be prioritizing for our public policies Demsas I m a housing person so I m a big fan of the Jane Jacobs book and the argument that she kind of draws out and I think people can imagine this if they ve been in streets and communities like this before is when you have kind of mixed use development you have a coffee shop and above that coffee shop you have apartments and across the street there s also a park and there s also a school nearby is that that means that throughout the day there are many different kinds of people watching the streets Versus if you had just a fully residential area and then during the day everyone s basically gone because they re either at school or work so it really empties out of people to watch things Or if you have a fully industrial area where when people go home for the day there s nobody there Or commercial area same thing And so when you have these kinds of mixed use development areas it feels a lot safer because you can just always feel like there s someone around doing normal business or taking their kids to school or whatever So I would love for housing policy to be the key But is your argument then that the differences between neighborhoods that have similar socioeconomic problems similar legal environments etcetera but a large variation in gun violence is largely a function of their urban form Ludwig I just I absolutely adore that this is a sort of empirical data intensive data nerd podcast and so in that spirit I do think one of the big challenges for making progress on the sort of the crime and criminal justice problem is A lot of it is editorializing rather than guided by data And so I think one of the key things that I tried to do in the book is really stick to the data and see what the data are telling us And so does the built environment matter There was a wonderful study by Mireille Jacobson and Tom Chang that looks at what happens in Los Angeles when marijuana dispensaries open or close as a result of some regulatory change and when food places open and close That s like the natural experiment of Jane Jacobs like let s put in more mixed use and what you can see is that when a retail establishment closes and foot traffic goes down crime goes up There was a wonderful study by a great team at the University of Pennsylvania that worked with the City of Philadelphia to do a randomized experiment where they picked a bunch of rundown vacant lots all over the city and picked half of them to redevelop and turn into little pocket parks And what you can see is that the pocket parks then wind up bringing more people out of their homes and spending time there in public And you can see that people feel safer and they are safer Gun violence goes down as a result of that My research center the University of Chicago Crime Lab we did a randomized trial with the City of New York a couple years ago where we helped put increased street lighting in some public housing developments and not others And one of the things that that would do is also potentially get more people out in public We see violence decline there as well And then one other thing that I would just add actually two other quick things that I would add to this is I think it gives you another way to understand all of the research and economics that suggests more police reduce crime I know you had Jen Doleac on recently you guys were talking about this I think most people would say Oh that s like deterrence or incapacitation But when I look at the Chicago Police Department for instance the average Chicago cop makes about three arrests not per week not per month per year Three arrests per year Demsas Wow Ludwig So it s like not a gigantic arrest machine that is generating all of this massive deterrence What are police doing Well one of the things that they might be doing is helping interrupt these minute windows It s something preventive right And I think that is a potentially important part of it And the thing that I would add to this as well is that sociologists believe that one of the most important determinants of a neighborhood s violent crime rate is what they call collective efficacy this is research from the s the willingness of neighborhood residents to sort of step in and do something when there s some sort of problem in the neighborhood And I think that also is very consistent with this kind of behavioral economics view of the gun violence problem and what to do about it Music Demsas After the break the problem with focusing on the root causes of gun violence Break Demsas Someone listening to this will say How is this different from the root causes analysis that you kind of critiqued Right Because there s a really great quote that you have in your book which is that we treat gun violence as something that will get better once we fix everything else that s wrong with society And I think that s a frustration that a lot of people have is that they are sympathetic to the idea that if we invested more in education or if we invested more in social welfare programs and UBI universal basic income expanded health care that there would be reduced crime in years in years But that doesn t really respond to the specific concern of Tomorrow when I walk to school am I going to get shot Can you help distinguish between your analysis and that root cause analysis Ludwig What I hear in Chicago is something that you hear in lots of cities around the United States is like Gun violence is just a symptom of poverty and we re never going to solve the gun violence problem until we solve the poverty problem And let us all hope that s not true because as you know even better than I do we ve been working really hard for decades to try and solve the poverty problem in the United States and it s proven to be very difficult I think the key optimistic observation or suggestion that we get from this behavioral economics perspective on the gun violence problem is We can make massive changes in the gun violence problem by changing parts of the social environment that are much easier to change than poverty and segregation and all of these other super big super important social problems If I could wave a wand and I could end poverty and segregation in Chicago believe me I d be the first person to wave that wand And so I m not arguing against any of the policies trying to do that They re super important It s more like What else can we do on top of that to really start to make a meaningful difference on the gun violence problem And I can t wave a wand and end poverty in Chicago but what I can do is I can make it easier to have commercial development in Greater Grand Crossing than we currently have here on the South Side of Chicago I can strategically deploy money to turn a bunch of vacant lots that are littered with empty broken beer and tequila bottles and turn that into a little pocket park that people are willing to be in I can put money into things like block clubs I can do some version of what the University of Chicago does like put unarmed private security guards on some key corners to make sure that there s an eye on the street because of that So there s a bunch of pragmatic things that you can do that can really make a difference that sort of complement these other efforts to address these really big root causes And maybe the one other thing I would just add You might look at that sort of strategy and say To some people that s going to feel unsatisfying that it is addressing a symptom not the underlying cause Like we re leaving the root causes there and we re just treating the symptom of the root causes But I actually think what that concern or that perspective misses is that the causal arrow runs in both directions between gun violence and root causes if that makes sense And you can sort of see a lot of these communities are in vicious cycles right now where it s like You ve got a lot of gun violence People and businesses leave fewer eyes on the street fewer community resources to build the kind of public infrastructure that helps address this problem even more gun violence even more people leaving There are lots and lots of neighborhoods lots and lots of cities that are trapped in that sort of vicious cycle But if you can get the gun violence problem under control I think you can see that you can turn those vicious cycles into virtuous cycles I think of gun violence you know not as a symptom of some deeper thing but in many ways as the social problem for cities that sits upstream of so many of the other social problems that cities are trying to wrestle with Demsas To give your model in layman s terms Gun violence and shootings happen because there s a large availability of guns and because people are not interrupted in pulling those guns out in the midst of a heated moment So as you point out in your book the vast majority of shootings are happening in the course of an argument not in a premeditated sense but in the sense that someone bumps you on the sidewalk or they insult you or something like that and that violence that shooting happens because there s no one to step in and say Hey Let s calm things down Is that kind of the overview that you re giving us Ludwig Yeah The highest level version of this is All of our policies have conceived of gun violence as a problem of System slow thinking when I think it s actually mostly a problem of System fast thinking And so for starters we just need a big reorientation to understand differently what the problem actually is to be solved And once you have that reorientation once you sort of think of gun violence as a problem of not bad people unafraid of the criminal justice system not people in bad economic circumstances stealing to feed their families but normal people making bad decisions in fraught difficult minute windows one thing that you start to do then is start to think about How do I change the social environment so there are more people more eyes on the street to sort of step in and interrupt And the other thing that you start to think more seriously about is like How do I focus my social policies more on helping people understand their own minds better and anticipate what they re going to do in these difficult minute windows And one of the ways that we can do that is through a very different type of social program than we ve typically thought of in the U S these behavioral economics informed programs like Youth Guidance s Becoming a Man or Heartland Alliance s READI program or YAP and Brightpoints Choose to Change program These are all things that we ve subjected to randomized controlled trials in Chicago And what they basically are doing is They re helping people understand that they ve got fast thinking as well as slow thinking and recognize that their fast thinking can get themselves into trouble in these fraught moments and helping them anticipate that and sort of better navigate those minute windows And you can see in randomized experiments that that reduces risk of violence involvement by depending on the study and the time period like to to percent How you scale that I think is the frontier scientific and policy challenge but at least now we can sort of see the direction that we ve got to go And the other thing I would just add is I think this behavioral economics perspective also helps us understand why education is so important for solving the violence problem but not in the way that people have historically thought Most people would say Yeah of course education is so central to solving the crime problem because education improves people s earnings prospects and blah blah blah And it s true that education is hugely important for people s earnings prospects and education is good for making better citizens It is good for lots and lots of reasons But the other thing that the data tell us education does is It helps people learn to be more slow thinking and skeptical of their own minds in high stakes moments That turns out to be sort of a key byproduct of everything that schools ask people to do And I think of education as like in many ways the most important sort of crime prevention gun violence prevention tool that we have I think things like rote learning are not what we want either for educational purposes or from the perspective of making schooling as sort of crime preventive as possible And so I think there are other ways of reimagining what school does which would be good for making school sort of more helpful for a world in which things like problem solving are increasingly important for economic outcomes but also super valuable for making education more helpful in addressing the gun violence problem Demsas You alluded to this a couple of times now but it s interesting that there s one way to interpret your result as just as like We need to put a bunch more cops on the street and those can be the eyes on the street And that is kind of consistent with the literature we explored in the Jen Doleac episode around why increasing numbers of police officers can reduce crime and violent crime in particular And the other avenue I mean these are complementary is that there needs to be more attention on how to improve people s System thinking And the Becoming a Man program which I think is now really popular is a great example of that But scaling these sorts of things is really really difficult as you mentioned Are you indifferent between these two policy avenues like an increased number of police officers versus investing in programs that improve people s ability to understand their own System System thinking Or is it that you really want people to do one of those over the other And in which case it does seem very difficult to scale Becoming a Man and other programs We have not been able to do that despite years and years of positive coverage of that program Ludwig For starters I would say we should be pushing on every possible front to solve this problem It s a huge humanitarian problem one of the key drivers of Black white life expectancy disparities in the United States hugely important for the future of our cities that are the key economic engine for the whole country So I wouldn t say like Let s do this or this If we have multiple things that could be helpful I d say Let s push on every front On the eyes on the street stuff I would say There s tons of scalable stuff there and it s not just hiring more cops So you can hire more cops in cities that like cops You can put unarmed security guards on the street You can fund community violence intervention nonprofit groups You can clean up vacant lots and turn them into parks You can improve street lighting You can change zoning laws and permitting rules and whatever to make it easier to have stores interspersed with residential in a neighborhood Tons of different things there that you could do depending on the local political environment in your city all of which are super scalable all of which would be super helpful all of which would increase the chances that there s some sort of prosocial adult around who can sort of step in and de escalate something On top of that I think then there d be huge value in trying to figure out how to scale the social programs that also help people better understand their own sort of thinking And I think one of the most exciting visions for the future here comes from artificial intelligence weirdly My University of Chicago colleague Oeindrila Dube did a fascinating study with Sandy Jo MacArthur who used to be at LAPD for many years and my friend Anuj Shah at Princeton They basically did Becoming a Man for cops And what was so interesting about it is Becoming a Man works with teenagers in middle school and high school And it s like an adult working with these kids and that s super hard to scale because the program counselor is expensive and they vary in skill and How do you hire enough people and everything that makes a social program hard to scale But the Becoming a Man for cops what they did is they had this artificial intelligence driven force simulator thing where they give cops feedback to see when their System their fast thinking is leading them to an unhelpful response through a bunch of simulation exercises that the AI can do And you look at the randomized control data and it seems to have remarkably helpful impacts And I think the thing that s so exciting about that is Thinking about AI as a human capital development tool lets you see Oh I see Once you ve got the software the marginal cost for rerunning software is super low And the great thing about software is that it basically runs the same way over and over again So we might be looking at a future where AI can be a super valuable way to enhance human capacity in ways that include addressing one of the most important social problems facing cities which is gun violence Demsas We ve gotten a little bit into this but trying to compare all three theories that are kind of existing out there When we re thinking about the root causes theory that leads us to believe that we should invest a ton in antipoverty measures and expand healthcare job training opportunities UBI whatever And then the wickedness theory kind of indicates that we should just try to root out and incarcerate bad people for as long as possible to prevent them from doing crime Your theory the unforgiving places theory what do you want policy makers to take from that Ludwig The first thing I want policy makers to take from this is to recognize that the gun violence problem itself is different from what we think Again it s not a problem of System deliberate slow thinking people responding to incentives Gun violence is mostly driven by System reactive fast thinking That s the most important thing From there I would say we need to do two types of things We need to change those aspects of the social environment that reduce the risk that conflict escalates And related to that is too just in the safety net is whatever your position on the Second Amendment I think this is also why guns out in public are particularly worrisome If people want to have guns in their basement locked up that s one thing But when people are taking guns out on the street that s the thing that makes interpersonal conflict on the South Side of Chicago so much more dangerous than interpersonal conflict in the south side of London or whatever So people around to deconflict conflict when it happens and anything that we can do to get guns off the street would be super helpful And then I think policies that help people you know both K education and things like you know Becoming a Man to try and help people better anticipate and navigate those minute windows And that s a policy agenda that really doesn t make much sense under either the conventional wisdom of the left or right right now Those things aren t about changing people s incentives so it s like Why in the world would they possibly work But I think they re really central to making huge progress on the problem And I think if you look at the experiences of L A and New York over the last years they validate that view or they re certainly very consistent with that view at least Demsas Jens always our last and final question What is an idea that you once thought was great and ended up being only good on paper Ludwig Great so we launched a big research project with the superintendent of the Chicago Public Schools a couple of years ago The huge priority of this superintendent was truancy So Chicago used to have something like truancy officers for its schools in and with budget cuts they got rid of all of them And then you look at the data and like there are tons of kids who are missing three or four weeks of school a year And so you look at that and the superintendent is like This surely is a key reason that kids are not doing well in school So Jon Guryan and I launched this big research project with CPS and we worked really hard to try and figure out how to get kids to come to school more often without the punitive whatever of truancy officers With a bunch of partners we managed to figure out a way to get kids to come back to school more often And then we look at the data and we see it does not boost their learning at all Demsas Oh wow Ludwig So weird so counterintuitive You would think If you don t go to school you can t learn It s super intuitive And yet you get kids to come to school more often and they don t learn Demsas Wait What s going on Doesn t that kind of conflict with a lot of ed policy research Ludwig Yeah So super weird right And so it was only very recently that Jon and I were looking at data right after the pandemic and what you can see in the data is for instance if you look at eighth graders in Chicago the average eighth grader in Chicago academically is like a sixth grader And something like a third ish of Chicago eighth graders academically are like closer to fourth graders Demsas Wow Ludwig And the eighth grade teachers their feet are being held to the fire to teach eighth grade content And so then you ask yourself Why is it the case that sending a kid who academically is at the fourth grade level to school to be taught eighth grade content doesn t improve their learning Like to ask the question is to answer it

Big Tech and Wall Street are deploying an on demand nursing model across America Created to solve a nursing shortage that doesn t exist it creates unsafe conditions for both medical professionals and patients On demand nursing apps create high risk low reward working conditions Reza Estakhrian Getty Images Big Tech and Wall Street are deploying an on demand Uber for nursing model that s racking up hundreds of millions in investments while creating unsafe high stress conditions for nurses and patients all to solve a nursing shortage that doesn t really exist The influx of patients and lack of resources during the COVID pandemic led to unprecedented levels of among nurses The subsequent rise of gig nursing platforms like CareRev ShiftKey and ShiftMed has been heralded as a way to and provide these workers with additional flexibility However amid over the state of the country s health care system published by researchers at the Roosevelt Institute a liberal think tank found that these on demand nursing apps can create high risk low reward working conditions that endanger medical professionals and patients alike These apps encourage nurses to work for less pay fail to provide certainty about scheduling and the amount or nature of work take little to no accountability for worker safety and can threaten patient well being by placing nurses in unfamiliar clinical environments with no onboarding or facility training the study s authors wrote Companies in the newly formed gig nursing industry have also been lobbying on labor rules that could allow them to shortchange nurses further of patient care On demand nursing services fail to address decades of health care consolidation by for profit corporations that have pushed bare minimum staffing and high risk work environments as a way to save money said Katie Wells a senior fellow at the progressive economic policy think tank Groundwork Collaborative who coauthored the new study What has happened to the corporatization of health care so that so many managers think this is the solution she asked What s happened to this workforce that they can t find jobs that work for their families needs Wells and her colleague interviewed twenty nine gig nurses and nursing assistants about their experiences with on demand nursing apps which allow nurses to select their desired locations hours and shifts from different health care facilities According to Wells it s like Uber for nursing and the job comes with many of the same concerns lobbed against the rideshare app You really have no one to talk to if you re needing help said Aisha a twenty four year old nursing assistant in Atlanta There s no one for you to complain to if there s any mistreatment or abuse of patients there You really don t know the chain of command Meanwhile on demand nursing platforms including and have collectively raised more than million from private investors over the past few years with Clipboard Health s CEO this model enables facilities to fill shifts while empowering healthcare professionals to earn more and exercise greater control over their schedules Since and have also spent lobbying on issues related to the classification of health care workers as independent contractors Uber and Lyft have been known to classify gig workers as contractors to avoid providing them benefits such as overtime pay paid family leave sick days unemployment insurance and the ability to collectively bargain Nurses are in this profession because they care Wells told the Lever However they re in it alone and they re struggling to take care of these people and they want to do good she said One question I always asked these workers was Are any of the facilities you ve been to places where you would take your loved ones And the answer to that question just really rings in my ear because it s a big no The Nursing Shortage That Isn t The rise of on demand nursing is in part tied to worries about a nationwide nursing shortage In the Biden administration went as far as to award more than toward nurse training to address the problem The concern isn t new the country has been grappling with potential nurse shortages since the when an increase in hospital use and patient care requirements put more demands on nurses time But according to experts technically there is no nursing shortage The country currently boasts licensed and registered nurses an all time high The problem advocates say is that a growing number of nurses and nursing assistants refuse to accept chronically underpaid unsafe and The U S has a robust and growing supply of registered nurses with enough new nurses to more than replace retiring nurses through University of Pennsylvania nursing professor Karen Lasater wrote in a paper about the Yet rather than addressing the low retention caused by employers chronic understaffing rigid scheduling options and lack of responsiveness to clinicians recommendations to improve care as Lasater noted in her paper tech companies have teamed up with Wall Street firms to create on demand nursing apps Early research on the matter already showed that these platforms don t solve the root problem of nurse burnout In fact gig nursing negatively impacts facility operations nursing staff cooperation and quality of care including higher rates of catheter use and medical errors according to a from a researcher at Washington University in St Louis These findings aligned with what Wells uncovered through interviewing nurses for her new study Aisha the nursing assistant in Atlanta told Wells that she showed up late at night for a gig nursing shift only to find that the facility s doors were locked and she couldn t contact anyone to open them Even when she s inside she doesn t feel at ease as gig based health providers are not always required to complete onboarding Such lack of training puts workers at an increased risk of making medical errors yet contracts at companies like ShiftKey holds the worker liable if a nursing licensure board or hospital takes disciplinary action Nurses also reported hospitals surgical centers and long term care facilities breaking all sorts of rules such as not properly locking up controlled substances and medications or looking the other way when workers show up to a shift under the influence of drugs Wells wrote in the study A health care provider working for on demand nursing company Clipboard Health noted that the most difficult part of the job was seeing the care that is provided is not adequate A nurse for CareRev another gig nursing platform said hospitals use the apps because they are desperate and have no staff at all I think it s just a Band Aid because once hospitals can t pay these high rates no one s going to do this care work the CareRev nurse said Like Uber drivers and DoorDash couriers gig nurses receive ratings from medical facilities for their timeliness attendance and performance A dip in ratings which may arise from situations like needing to cancel a shift due to illness negatively impacts nurses ability to get future shifts and lower ratings can result in temporary or permanent suspension In one case a nursing assistant went to work at a hospital while sick with COVID to avoid lowering her rating according to Additionally the researchers found that nurses on apps like Clipboard Health and ShiftKey are encouraged to bid against each other for shifts and in doing so sometimes take the lowest hourly rate available Four of the twenty nine gig nurses and nursing assistants interviewed earn so little that they qualify for Medicare or Medicaid On demand nursing companies are not shy about boasting how much money medical facilities can save by employing their apps Travel nursing rates continue to exceed the budgets of national healthcare providers which is unsustainable according to a by ShiftMed Unlike gig nurses traveling nurses pick up their lives and move to different locations for longer contracts which is key for hospitals that need to staffing gaps especially during seasonal patient spikes ShiftMed claims they offer a solution that decreases reliance on travel agencies thereby reducing operating costs by percent compared to travel staffing alternatives A Page From Uber s Playbook Over the years Uber has thrown massive amounts of money into laws and regulations that critics say strip workers of critical protections In for example California voters passed a letting app based services like Uber Lyft and DoorDash classify their workers as independent contractors instead of employees At the time Uber saying it will deliver historic benefits and protections to drivers while keeping their independence But worker advocates say the law allows these companies to providing workers benefits such as minimum wage overtime and paid family leave even though many of these gig workers have a level of dependence on the rideshare company that goes beyond typical Since on demand nursing apps have adopted a similar approach by backing a number of bills and ballot measures that define health care gig workers as independent contractors This includes a ballot initiative in bills in and and legislation in Of these efforts only the Colorado bill passed The state now defines a health care worker platform as one that sets hourly rates and other terms of hire and the health care worker as an independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of the entity that maintains the platform decides whether to agree to the hourly rates and other terms of hire By doing so companies are not required to provide employment benefits according to Now nursing advocates are sounding the alarm Tech industry health care investors and health care employers looking to cut costs want to apply this exploitative gig work employment model to misclassify nurses as independent contractors and deprive them of the rights and benefits granted to regular employees including the right to organize in a union National Nurses United the largest union of registered nurses wrote in a on the issue If Uber and other rideshare apps are any indication however it may be hard to rein in the on demand nursing services States including Minnesota Massachusetts New York and Washington have stipulated minimum rideshare driver pay and required rideshare companies to provide additional However Uber continues to adopt a long list of anticompetitive business practices like setting the prices that customers pay and limiting drivers ability to which ride they accept The Federal Trade Commission an independent agency that protects consumers from unfair business practices recently opened an into Uber s subscription policy for automatically signing customers up to their premium service and making it hard to cancel though it s yet to be seen whether such efforts will lead to meaningful reforms Wells suspects that on demand nursing companies will continue to follow in Uber s footsteps with worrisome results I think the risks of on demand nursing are significant for public safety in terms of both worker health and also patient health and I think community health Wells said You can subscribe to David Sirota s investigative journalism project the Lever

With just a few days left in office the lame duck district attorney in Portland Oregon has pushed for a judge to reduce the sentences of several violent offenders including a man involved in the murder and sexual assault of an elderly woman Mike Schmidt has been the district attorney of Multnomah County Oregon for more than four years During that time he has taken a far left approach to law enforcement working to make the criminal legal system more equitable according to his The sentence that he received at the time a lot of people would have believed was too light It seems that equitable soft on crime approach did not sit well with voters who went with challenger Nathan Vasquez a former Republican who ran as an independent instead of Schmidt in November With Vasquez poised to take over his job on January Schmidt has made one last push for reducing the sentences of eight criminals under Senate Bill Among the offenders whom Schmidt hopes to help is Jr who was convicted of felony murder in the death of year old Jean Stevenson in December The details of the case are gruesome Swopes and an accomplice broke into Stevenson s home tied the terrified woman to her bed stole her wedding ring and proceeded to sexually assault her reported Stevenson later died of asphyxiation after Swopes accomplice pushed her to the floor the said Thus far Swopes has served years of his year sentence but Schmidt hopes that he will be released early The prosecutor in the case former Deputy District Attorney Jim McIntyre called the attempt to reduce Swopes sentence unconscionable The sentence that he received at the time a lot of people would have believed was too light McIntyre said according to KATU And he s going to have three more years to serve and that s exactly what he should serve Another convict on Schmidt s list is Shane Ebberts who pled guilty to first and second degree assault in connection with an attack on a college student in Ebberts was at the time Ebberts has already served his sentence of seven and a half years but Schmidt wants to give him the opportunity to withdraw his guilty plea and instead plead guilty to second degree attempted assault the Post said Evan Gardner one of Ebberts victims is incensed about the move to expunge the first and second degree assault convictions from Ebberts record in favor of the lesser charge As a group they inflicted irreparable harm that will stay with both of us and our families and our extended families forever Gardner said according to the Post It shattered my feeling of safety This is the same work we ve been doing throughout my term DA elect Vasquez further argued before Multnomah County Judge Melvin Oden Orr that many of the victims in the cases Schmidt put forward have not been contacted as required by law It just has all the appearance of being a very last minute giveaway Vasquez said They re extremely violent individuals who have committed horrible crimes and they re being given some kind of a break Between concerns about victim notification and the offenders themselves Judge Oden Orr elected to postpone a decision about resentencing most of them until February In response to the judge s decision Schmidt indicated that calling for leniency for violent criminals is just part of his job Today the court held hearings in several SB cases and agreed that charges could be changed or dismissed to allow people to move on with their lives with clean records in recognition that they had turned their lives around Schmidt said in a statement according to I hope that the court will thoughtfully consider and grant the petitions Schmidt s statement did not offer any evidence that the offenders had indeed turned their lives around though Schmidt noted in a separate statement that each of these petitions have been considered in a thorough process over a number of months that includes the input of a community advisory board This is the same work we ve been doing throughout my term Like Blaze News Bypass the censors sign up for our newsletters and get stories like this direct to your inbox

Small businesses on TikTok are telling their customers about their worst business struggles Ake Getty Images Small businesses on TikTok are telling their customers about their worst business struggles My small business is failing and other messages have become common hooks It s a good way to build authenticity marketing experts say as long as it s done smartly In the last couple of years small businesses have littered TikTok with confessionals My small business is failing is how they often begin If you ve been following me for the last couple of months you may think that it s not craftsperson Laura Craine said last year But in reality I haven t received an order in weeks On the outside it might look like everything is going well and I m making lots of orders but I m just not Ranging from straight up claims of failure through to warts and all insight into the toughest days each post aims to grab a precious few seconds of your attention and maybe a portion of your cash They resonate well with users who want to see more than the polished curated success stories that once dominated social media and Instagram Inigo Rivero cofounder of UK based TikTok marketing agency House of Marketers told BI It also comes as more small business owners are embracing radical transparency on TikTok Rivero added And in many cases it seems to be working I remember thinking I can t do this Emma Molloy has long known the power of lifting the veil on her vegan friendly doughnut business through TikTok and being transparent about of making her four year old business work But the hardest moment for her company Cat Burglar Dough Co came in August She had just given birth and was exhausted Sales had been poor and she had just learned that her maternity cover had fallen through I was in a real corner and I remember just sitting there thinking I can t do this Molloy told BI She on TikTok saying This month I ve come closer than I ever have before to quitting but added that she was determined to carry on A couple of days later she was sitting on the floor with her baby when her phone suddenly started buzzing nonstop Notifications were flooding in Order order order order she said Over on Facebook an influencer named Lisa Dollan more familiar to her hundreds of thousands of fans as Yorkshire Peach had just posted We had about £ about worth of orders in a week Molloy said adding that the business turned a corner after that Business Insider wasn t able to independently confirm the amount Dollan didn t respond to BI s request for comment It s unclear whether Molloy s emotional post prompted her reaction But some business owners told BI that posting some variant of my small business is failing has brought them unusual engagement new customers as well as encouragement at a time when they sorely needed it The pull of schadenfreude Creative duo Caitlin Derer and Joseph Lattimer hopped on the trend in August with that has been watched more than million times For us that s huge they said They used the format as a vehicle to talk about how hard they were working and what they needed to turn the business into a success Their business Collectable Cities makes art toys for the high end souvenir market but the pair had reached the soul destroying part of the business where practical issues turned the spark into a slog Derer said Then you see someone else make a video where you can feel their pain through the screen and it s like I should be also sharing some of this she said The response to their video spanned thousands of comments giving them exposure to new customers as well as a wealth of feedback and suggestions Alice Bull founder of Gratified a TikTok focused strategy and content agency says she finds these kinds of posts compelling and has even ordered from businesses after seeing them She characterizes it as a storytelling hook one of five tried and tested approaches that she says tend to produce results on the platform Bull regularly encourages her clients to not just showcase their products but to pull back the curtain on their own stories Telling stories especially on TikTok right now is one of the most powerful things you can do particularly with a small business she told BI Anything you can do to connect with the audience that will potentially become your customers is absolutely vital she added And one of the quickest ways you can do that is by being slightly dramatic She said that research shows that emotionally positive content gets the best engagement but Indeed that tracked the eye movement of TikTok and Twitter users suggested that viewers spend more time on negative rather than positive content It works because people immediately want to know what happened Bull said You want to either experience that emotion with that person or understand what they went through in order to save yourself from the same fate she said It can also be a smart way of adding context to unpopular decisions like price hikes Bull said Staying authentic Done right the hook can tap into the authenticism that has underpinned other TikTok trends in recent years like and But there s an obvious business risk to telling the world you re failing People who adopt this strategy need to weigh up the risk of harm to their long term reputation with the benefits of appealing to people through honesty Bull said There s also a potential ethical problem that comes with virality if declaring your troubles is such an effective cash lever there ll always be the temptation for successful businesses to exaggerate or even lie about their struggles Indeed so many iterations have proliferated on the platform that it s been boiled down to something like a script with audio from particularly successful versions borrowed by others who simply paste it over their own visuals Rivero said that quality also matters I m not just going to buy a product just because I like the story he said It needs to come hand in hand with a good quality product He added that a dropshipper who makes the same complaint as a one person craft business is unlikely to get much sympathy Building trust Laura Craine said that the massive response to her small business is failing post was part of what rallied her to carry on with her craft business when she was almost ready to close shop At the time my videos weren t doing great she said But this one took off bringing her hundreds of new followers and a wealth of supportive feedback Craine s business With Love And Dreams preserves personal items like wedding blooms or human remains in resin to create memorial keepsakes The fact that she handles sensitive and irreplaceable items means her business depends on maintaining a deep wellspring of trust Being completely authentic with her audience just made sense I want people to see that I m a real person she said Read the original article on
