• We don’t know how effective masks are at preventing the spread of COVID, but we know it’s more effective than wearing nothing

  • Single motherhood in the black community in 1960 was 20%, today it is 70% 
  • Single motherhood in the white community in 1960 was 5%, today it is 40%
• Ben’s strategy to fixing poverty:
