From warning labels on social media platforms to new masking laws (not what you think), and building a temporary Olympic-sized swimming pool inside a football stadium, we cover it all in this week’s SCOOP. Topics include health, politics, pop culture, law, security, immigration and history (including a quick detour to discuss Ellis Island). We even ponder what solution ChatGPT might have for fixing our nation’s borders. We arrive at a central question to consider: Do we face a lack of choice or a lack of creativity for our current national challenges?
