• The COVID Health emergency will officially end in May, and along with it a bunch of government benefits that were put into place for the pandemic. CNN has a list here. Personally, I am going to miss some of these benefits. Did the little experiment with free COVID related healthcare demonstrate that government is good at providing healthcare? Government funded the COVID vaccine, testing, and treatment; it seemed to work really well.
• MrBeast cured blindness for over 1,000 people. The church is increasingly publicizing the good works they do. All of this pales in comparison to what governments do to help the downtrodden. Is this a PR problem? Should governments do more to publicize the good that they are doing?
• One of the Real Housewives of SLC wants to trademark “Bad Mormon”, the church opposes it. Should the church just let her have the trademark, since we don’t want to be known as Mormons anyway?
• BYU would like faculty members’ teaching and research to align with LDS tenets. Is this just an attempt to force liberal-minded individuals out of BYU? What does it appear that they are trying to accomplish?
