It's worth your time. Turns out local politics has it's issues...and looks a lot like what's happening on the federal level. All the stuff happening in your city can impact you and your family more than what's happening in Washington D.C. Plus, the Miami of the Midwest will see fewer cruise ships in 2025. Jeramey points out that multiple cruise ship lines will be reducing their Great Lakes offerings in 2025.

Maggie and Tom also discuss DEI...or lack there of in this current America. DEI is about breaking barriers so all people have the opportunity to thrive in schools and the workplace. It promotes and supports diversity in all forms and works to address and eliminate any form of discrimination and bias. Here are some authors and works for you to check out:
