US COVID-19 funding dwindles as experts warn of new variant - March 23, 2022
President Joe Biden departed for Brussels Wednesday for meetings with fellow leaders of NATO and the European Union. Biden is expected to announce sanctions on Russia’s lower house of Parliament in an effort to further punish President Vladimir Putin. The trip is one of the highest-stakes presidential trips in recent memory and a moment for Biden to demonstrate the foreign policy credentials he promised as a candidate.
The White House announced that without additional funding approval from Congress, the administration is out of funding for COVID-19 testing, treatment and vaccines. Of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, $300 billion remains unobligated, $240 billion of which has been allocated for cities and states already. The U.S. Travel Association urged the White House to lift COVID-19 travel restrictions while health experts warned of a potential uptick in cases caused by the omicron descendent BA.2.
Traditional nine-to-five work hours are becoming less common among employees – one of the many changes to work and life that emerged during the pandemic. The flexibility is likely to persist in certain fields, like tech, public relations and consulting. More than half of U.S. adults said the ability to work from home or have flexible schedules is more important to them now than before the pandemic, while 50% of company leaders reported wanting their employees back in the office in the next year.
The City of Miami Beach declared a state of emergency in an effort to curb violence across the city this spring break. The move came after multiple shootings this past weekend. Major cities across the U.S. are contending with increases in crime rates, with New York City seeing a nearly 40% increase in overall crime when comparing January 2020 to January 2021. A shooting at an Arkansas car show on Saturday left one dead and 27 wounded, marking the largest mass shooting event in the U.S. in 2022 so far.
A recent survey found that Gen Z and Millenials are not limiting themselves to a traditional day job, with the majority of both generations reporting they are considering earning extra income in 2022. About 70% of both Gen Z and Millenials have sought out a side hustle or additional business opportunities. The music festival Lollapalooza announced that the CEO of Goldman Sachs, who occasionally moonlights as an electronic dance musician, will perform at the festival in July.
