It's great to see you all. So, really lovely to see some tiktak alumni who have been here before. I'm so happy that they have come back. Hopefully, it means that we are doing something right. It's not just because we choose awesome places to have the conference in. We even got the weather for you this year. I know, last year and the year before, we were a bit dodgy on the weather so we ordered the weather special. It's supposed to be lovely and sunny, lovely and warm today. So rhan gyd wedi gael i Lleis分 a dod yn ddim yn ei gweithio i'r bobl sy'n gwybod i chi psyllwyddiadau yn gweithio'r cyfle gyda ymlaen i fy modd, rydyn ni wedi bod yn ymwybod i'r gweithio'r gweithio. So rhan gyd yn ddweud ac sy'n ddod am ymweld i'r gweithio a'r gweithio i fynd i'r gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio. Roedd yn gweithio gyd yn sut mae'r diogel i'r gweithio i gyd yn y rhesyf wedi'i gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio'r gweithio. a we have also been doing some consultancy work, so we've decided to professionalise this side of our work a little bit. We've always said we're very open to partnership, we're open to working with people, but we've never really spelled out what that might look like, so we've got a little bit more information on the website now if you wanted to partner with us or you wanted some practitioner training and research, that kind of thing, we'll be previewing some of that in our workshop after the break. We have also got a shiny new data website. We've said for years, we've got all of this awesome data that we don't even know what a lot of it says because there's so much of it and so few of us, and we quite often get requests randomly from researchers around the world saying, this data's really cool, do you have it? Can you extract it? We now have this shiny new data site, data.mysociety.org, that puts all of that data in one place with APIs as well, so if you wanted to go and have a look around, please do. There's interesting stuff there or if there's other things that you think we might have that aren't on that site, get in touch, we may be able to do something about extracting some of that too. So you'll have seen on the agenda that I'm supposed to talk about opinions and facts or of the difference between opinions and facts.  Really this particular title came up because the wonderful Gemma who basically single-handedly organizes this, I really don't deserve any credit. She's very strict. The speakers in the audience will know that she emails you weeks and weeks in advance and asks for a title so it can be put into the literature. She's just as strict with us internally. We don't get any special treatment. We have to give her the title weeks and weeks in advance. I was a little bit flustered. I was like, oh, I think I might want to talk about facts and opinions or something. So this is what we've ended up with. I was thinking about this at the time because I was actually feeling a little bit weary. It might have just been the British winter. It's cold, dark, January, and there's a bit all. But I was actually feeling a little bit weary about all of the things I was reading, whether that was on Twitter or the social media, whether that was just reading news online. There seemed to be a weight of opinion and it was really hard trying to sift out some of those facts. For me personally, the Brexit fiasco is just my personal opinion, by the way. I'm sure that people think Brexit is wonderful. But for me, just reading about that, trying to siphon the actual facts of what's happening from all of the conjecture and speculation and the way people are twisting information, I find fairly exhausting. On top of that, you have things you're trying really hard at in a work environment. You put it out into the world after a lot of sweat and tears and all sorts. It's immediately shredded on Twitter or a whole barrage of opinion comes your way and you don't even know where to start. I was feeling a bit weary from all of this, I think. That's where this came from. Opinions are great. I think everyone should have opinions. You didn't have to have an opinion. If you don't want to comment on something, it's absolutely fine too. Sometimes I feel like, I just don't have an opinion on this or I don't want to be really reactive about this at the moment. I'd rather read this report and just let it sink in and not have to say, oh, this is what I think. In my society, we actually have this really weird, ongoing debate about whether tapers are the best animals in the world. We have staff members. You would be surprised at how often we talk about this. Our HR manager, I think, is really annoyed, actually, at how much time is devoted to tapers in my society. This is a lot of my colleague's opinion, but I'm a honey badger girl all the way. But some things closer to our work are actually a lot more hurtful. Most of us in this room are triers in one way or another. We're trying in one way or another in our fields to maybe make the world a bit of a better place. It's really hard when you do put something out into the world and maybe things get a little bit twisted or are used for a political narrative that's actually not correct. Very recently, there was a bit of a storm in a Twitter teacup about our site. They work for you.com and the data that is or isn't on there. We got caught up in a political narrative that we really didn't want to be a part of. It's depressing.  At that point, you can just think to yourself, I just want to close the door and not open Twitter again now. I'm not obsessed about it. But the great thing I think about the team at my society is, obviously it was like, but we sat down, we thought about it, we talked about it. The whole organisation talked about it. It wasn't just a kind of comms team individual. We all talked about this and how can we respond to this? Because we don't just want to be reactive. We don't just want to say other people's opinions of this is wrong. We want to use this somehow to do good work. We used it actually to start a better conversation, a more productive conversation, about how facts and how data are necessary for us to be able to do this kind of work properly. This kind of conversation highlighted something that we knew we wanted to do, but maybe we needed to bring to the forefront a bit more and not just have our team or our coders do things, but actually ask Parliament to be better at doing data and to be better at putting that data out there. So it doesn't just benefit us and it doesn't just benefit their MPs, but it benefits anyone else that wants to use that data for the public good. So we've submitted some evidence to Parliament and hopefully this will influence how they do data in the future. So obviously the kind of weight of opinion, it can be really daunting. But I think actually we're trying to use it for a lot more good now. So we're trying to kind of get into a cycle of having opinions, reading other people's opinions, accepting hopefully constructive criticism and using that to kind of push our work on and to think more about what we do, what we would like other people to do and just generate that kind of ongoing dialogue rather than just being really reactive and really weary from the weight of opinion. So say this is tick-tock. We are about research and I'm finding out what works and finding out what doesn't work or just finding out how what we do, those ripples in the pond, spread out. So I'm so excited to hear all of the opinions and all of the facts that are going to come out of all of the sessions. I think we should strive to create as much knowledge around this field as possible because even though it's not that kind of new nascent field anymore, we are maturing, it's moving on at such a pace that it's really hard as researchers to keep up. And I think it's really important for us, not only to generate knowledge, but to admit to the extents of our abilities as well. Something civic tech exists in this incredibly complex world and we can't maybe calculate everything. We can't maybe know with most certainty exactly what impact every little thing we do has. It's not to say we shouldn't do it. It's not to say it's not a good thing. I think we need to be honest about what we are able to do and I think we have some super supportive funders who are realistic in that sense as well. I don't think certainly as practitioners we should be really, really worried that if we can't absolutely prove we are the best things in sliced bread and that we've fixed democracy within our two-year grant period, I think that's okay. And I'm sure many of our funders would agree with that. So, yeah, I just kind of want to... I'm sure I'm not the only person that sometimes feels a bit weary about all of the opinion and trying to kind of sift out the fact, but I suppose what I want to say is don't be daunted. This conference specifically is about having these conversations in a safe, supportive space. Absolutely be critical. Hopefully you can do that in a constructive way so that people can actually take something away from the conference and look at how they might do things in the future. I'm really excited to hear everything, everyone's opinions, everyone's new facts, everyone's new bits of research, everyone's new ideas about what kind of research they might want to do. I think it's going to be a super couple of days, but that is just my opinion. So just really please everyone have such a great time over the next couple of days. I look forward to speaking to as many of you as I can. And that's it from me. Thank you.


Hi, I'm Helen and I'm a Product Manager on Privacy Sandbox. Hi, I'm Goss Saba and I am an Engineering Manager focusing on private, general-purpose and anti-fraud technologies in Privacy Sandbox. Today, we're going to focus on the Privacy Sandbox for the web and share what you can do today to prepare your sites for the end of third-party cookies. The Privacy Sandbox is a suite of proposals to help tackle the problem of pervasive tracking and address the needs of the web and app ecosystem. As these changes are rolled out to Chrome and Android. As part of this effort, Chrome will soon be deprecating support for third-party cookies. Check out privacysandbox.com slash timeline for the latest information. We've already made some progress in removing tracking vectors in the web. HTTP cache partitioning shipped in Chrome 85. User agent string reduction, which we began via a phased approach in Chrome 92, will be complete in Chrome 113. Network state partitioning shipped in Chrome 108 and storage partitioning is also starting to roll out in Chrome 113. If your site has embeds that depend on storage such as index DB, local storage and session storage being accessible across multiple top-level sites, check out the link under storage partitioning for more information. This is great progress. We're excited about the changes we're bringing to Chrome to make sure users feel safe and protected against pervasive tracking on the web. To learn more about how the privacy sandbox tackles the issue of pervasive tracking and our web standards approach, make sure to check out last year's IOTalk too. As we get closer to the end of third-party cookies in Chrome, we want to make sure you're all set with the knowledge and the tools to prepare your sites. We're excited to share with you today that the tools that you need to migrate away from third-party cookies like first-party sets and chips which stands for cookies having independent partition state are now available to implement. Make sure to follow along with this video, especially if you're responsible for one or more sites since you're probably using cookies somewhere in your code to make sure your website is delivering a great experience to visitors. And some of these cookies might be third-party cookies. To begin, we're going to go over how to identify third-party cookies in your code and then review what you can do to replace the functionality they currently provide. Then, we're going to go over Chrome's web standards proposals for new cookie behavior, which we're shipping now in Chrome. We hope this will help you identify when to continue to rely on cookie behavior in Chrome and when to turn to third-party cookie alternatives like purpose-built APIs. Following the session is a great start. There's certainly no time like the present to start preparing for third-party cookie deprecation in Chrome, especially since first-party sets and chips are available to integrate with right now. To help you get a sense of how to begin preparing, we're going to review how to first identify third-party cookies in your code. Cookies can be first-party or third-party relative to the user's context, depending on which site the user is on at the time. This distinction between first-party and third-party contexts on the web isn't always obvious, and the effect it has on different resources can vary. Generally speaking, cookies that are sent in cross-site contexts, like iframes or sub-resource requests, are referred to as third-party cookies. One way you can identify how your site is using third-party cookies and what potential breakage this might impose is to block third-party cookies on your own machine and browse through your site. You can open DevTools here to help you investigate. First, to identify which cookies are blocked, navigate to the Network tab and load your site. You can filter down using the third-party request checkbox. Select a specific request and then click on the Cookies tab. Then click on the box to show filtered out request cookies to see what cookies have been blocked on the request and response. If you are blocking third-party cookies, you'll see the tooltip indicate user configuration as the reason for the cookies being blocked. We know that was a lot to follow, so we've put together instructions on how to navigate DevTools here. Make sure to check back in regularly since we'll be updating materials as we create more tools to help you. Another way to look for third-party cookies is to examine your code base. In 2019, Chrome changes cookie handling, restricting cookies to first-party access by default. This means that now you can identify any cookies used in third-party context today with the same-site-none attribute. Pro tip, using Ctrl-F same-site-none can probably help you here. Now that you have your list of third-party cookies, the next step is to investigate how or why they are being used on your site. Knowing this will help you consider whether cookie-based solution like chips and first-party sets or an alternative API is most appropriate for your use case. To help you with this task, we'll review the use cases we're aiming to solve with updated cookie functionality to replace default and passive access to third-party cookies. Thanks, Helen. As you might have guessed from how they're used in your code, while third-party cookies pose privacy challenges for users, they are also a critical component to functionality on the web. Third-party cookies enable the composability of content and services, which in turn enable the creation of engaging and helpful experiences for people around the world. Examples of services that rely on third-party cookies include embedded maps and chat service widgets on a retail website or shared login infrastructure across an organization's brands or country-specific website. Even as we take measures to protect users on the web, we want to make sure developers continue to have ways to create seamless and joyful experiences for users. Over the past few years, we've engaged with developers and other stakeholders in the World Wide Web Consortium, or the W3C, through public discussions on GitHub and at various conferences. Developers like you have helped us identify critical use cases and develop solutions that serve the ecosystem as a whole. We've addressed certain needs through purpose-built APIs like the Topics API and Federated Credential Management, or FedCM. For other use cases, we propose web standards to limit cookie usage to more secure and private mechanisms. A couple of the proposals we collaborated on are now shipping in Chrome, our chips and first-party sets. We'll now go over the two proposals, including the changes we've made to both based on feedback from web developers. One common set of use cases for third-party cookies is the use of third-party libraries or services. An example could be an embedded map showing store locations or a chat widget providing customer support. In this case, the vendor needs to maintain cookies or state, such as the user's preferred store location on a per-top-level website basis. This is where chips, an acronym for cookies having independent partition state, is useful. All you need to do is add an additional cookie attribute, partitioned. The nice thing is, since browsers simply ignore cookie attributes that they don't recognize, your cookies will continue to work as before on clients that don't yet support chips. By specifying this additional cookie attribute, your cross-site cookie automatically gets a different cookie jar on every top-level site it is embedded on, thus preventing the ability to track users across sites. Chips will allow you to ring your users a more private experience now. You don't have to wait until third-party cookies are phased out to migrate your website to using chips. If you've looked at chips before, you should know since the last time we introduced chips at I.O., we've made two changes that we hope make the feature easy to adopt for many applications that currently rely on third-party cookies. Both changes were made based on feedback provided to us by web developers like you during the incubation process in the W3C. First, we've removed the host prefix naming and host name boundedness requirement. While the original intent behind the requirement was to encourage security best practices, many developers told us that they currently reuse cookies across subdomains and that this requirement would place a significant adoption burden. Second, we've changed the previous cookie limit of 10 cookies per partition to a dynamic memory limit of 10 kilobytes per partition. This allows developers the flexibility of using a small number of large cookies or a large number of small cookies. Before we jump into first-party sets, here are some quick links to more resources on chips. Let's now talk about first-party sets and how the proposal facilitates cookie access to support user-impacting functionality across sites with a first-party relationship. If you've been following the progress we've made on Privacy Sandbox over the past year, you may recall that first-party sets has evolved to respond to feedback raised by developers, other browser vendors, and stakeholders in the web ecosystem. The change reflects our effort to meaningfully collaborate and listen for opportunities to improve the proposals we bring forward. For those who are relatively new to first-party sets and also those revisiting first-party sets after some time, we'll begin with a brief overview. The browser currently uses a site-level boundary to interpret first-party versus third-party. When Chrome deprecates third-party cookies, this interpretation can be limiting for organizations that rely on third-party cookies because their web architecture is designed to utilize multiple domains. For example, an organization may have one domain for their hiking block and another for their camping store and want to support user journeys across those sites. An organization may also maintain multiple country code domains with shared infrastructure for their web service. For cases like these, we set out to create a solution that's aligned with such organization's needs while preserving users' expectations for their privacy on the web. First-party sets is a framework for developers to declare relationships between domains. The browser can then make decisions regarding access based on the third-party domain's relationship to the first-party domain. A set may enjoy first-party benefits including continued access to their cookies when the top-level domain is in the same set. In this framework, there are three different purpose-built subsets to meet key use cases on the web. The first is for country code top-level domains like .ca or .de. If you maintain sites with different CCTLDs for localized experiences and these sites still require access to shared services and infrastructure, this subset may help retain functionality for you. The second is for service domains. For this subset, you can identify domains your organization relies on for security or performance purposes that require access to a user's identity to perform their functions. The third is for associated domains. Your organization might maintain multiple sites for different related brands or products and you may want to understand user journeys across related sites to better understand how your user base interacts with your sites or to remember a user's logged in state on a related site relying on the same login infrastructure. Sets are submitted by developers and to ensure integrity of the sets. There are subset-specific policy requirements, corresponding technical validation checks and specific browser handling behavior. You can check out the submission guidelines for more detail. For domains within a set, third-party cookie access will be facilitated by the Storage Access API a mechanism for a site to actively request access to its cookies while in a third-party context. In addition to the Storage Access API, we have also introduced the Request Storage Access for API to address some of the limitations of the Storage Access API identified by developers such as the fact that the API can only be invoked from an iframe. When the browser has received the request through the Storage Access API or the Request Storage Access for API, it will confirm that this third-party domain and first-party domain are in the same set and grant the access request. The Storage Access API is also shipping in other browsers like Safari and Firefox, so you will be able to leverage the implementation of the API for your site's functionality in other browsers. From the user's perspective, first-party sets will be referred to as related sites in a group. They'll be able to toggle on and off a control to allow Chrome to make access decisions based on the first-party set's list. They'll also be able to see whether a site they're visiting is in a first-party set and what other sites they've visited are in the same set. This in-browser user experience helped us maintain both seamless and private experiences on the web while giving users the opportunity to tune their privacy on the web according to their comfort. Remember, first-party sets is ready to adopt right now, so check it out and get ahead of the curve on preparing for third-party cookie deprecation. That was a lot, but we hope we've set you up with the information you need to prepare your sites for third-party cookie deprecation. You can always review this video at a later time and access these links to get the full details on using chips and first-party sets. As a recap, let's do a quick overview of what to do next. First, use DevTools or look for same-site non-cookies to identify whether your website relies on third-party cookies. Second, identify what the cookies are being used for and whether either first-party sets or chips are the right replacement solutions for you. For self-contained users of third-party cookies or where the third-party cookie only needs to be accessed in a single context, chips may be the right solution. For your cookies that are used in cross-site contexts but are on domains that you control, consider using first-party sets. As you're looking through your third-party cookies, if you encounter a use case that is not supported by chips and first-party sets, you can check out other Privacy Sandbox proposals where we are replacing the need for a cross-site cookie with a purpose-built API to fulfill the use case. Finally, if there is still an important capability that is missing, log the use case in our third-party cookie deprecation tracker. This will help the Privacy Sandbox team identify and help address broken flows on the web. For example, we've heard that the Storage Access API has been helpful in addressing cross-site cookie needs in other browsers, so Chrome is looking to support this API beyond its application of first-party sets to support authenticated third-party content. We want to hear about your use cases and are eager to help. Thanks for tuning into our talk. Remember to check out the additional resources linked in this video and also those linked below. If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out and GitHub. Remember, chips and first-party sets are both ready to adopt right now, so it's a great time to start preparing for third-party cookie deprecation. We wish you luck on your journey to find the third-party cookies in your code. Thank you.


The potassium sodium niobate, KNN, a lead-free material, is a promising candidate for replacing PZT in applications such as sensors and actuators due to its environmental friendliness and high efficiency. However, producing pure KNN ceramic with a high density and a uniform fine-grained microstructure is challenging. This review discusses various methods used to produce KNN ceramics, including solid-state synthesis, centering, and special centering techniques. Solid-state synthesis produces KNN powders with low densities and large grain sizes, while centering requires careful control over temperature and atmosphere to achieve optimal results. Pressure-assisted centering and spark-plasma centering have shown promise in achieving higher densities than traditional centering methods.

If you've ever had a div with multiple elements inside of it, you might have tried to put a box shadow on there to do something interesting, but instead of getting the effect you're after, you got something that looked like this, which probably wasn't what you wanted. So then maybe you go, oh, I know what I could do. I could add a box shadow to every element inside of there, but then you get these like overlapping shadows and shadows on top of shadows and stuff, and probably not what you wanted either. You want like one shadow that can just be for all of those elements. Luckily, there's a really easy way to do that with the filter property, and there's some other cool stuff that we can do with it as well. Hello, my front-end friends, and welcome back to yet another video. I'm so glad that you've come to join me once again. And if you're new here, my name is Kevin. And here at my channel, I help you formadly, deeply in love with CSS. And if I can't get you to fall in love with it, I'm hoping to at least get you to be a little bit less frustrated by it. And I think I can do that today with the filter property. So let's dive in and see how it works. All right, so I am in Code Pen, so I'll share this down in the description below. And as we saw at the intro, we have this, and if we try a box shadow on there, it doesn't work black. And you know, that's terrible because we get this like transparency around it, really not what we want. And even if I try doing the something like this that selects all the children inside, and I'm going to add a whatever the thing that expands it out there. So you can really see like, I don't want this is cool to have a shadow.  And so we can do that. And as I said, it's actually really easy. And instead of using a box shadow, what we need to do is use a filter. And on the filter property, we can do a drop shadow, because they like to confuse us a little by having different names on things. And the drop shadow is a very similar syntax. And we'll just do black again so we can see how it's working. And actually, you might be saying, well, Kevin, it's doing the same thing, but I don't want it on all my children. Now I want it on the example itself and look at that. So now it's actually going all the way around. Now I can't do the stroke thing, not stroke. I can't think of the right word right now, but the one that offsets it. Just because with drop shadow, it's a little bit like a text shadow. You can't do that sadly. So it's not an option in this case, but you can see that it does work. And it gives a singular shadow to the entire element, taking into account transparencies and other stuff like that. So it's kind of interesting. Another cool thing, actually, that you can do with filter is if I do bring that back onto the children. And actually, one thing that's really interesting with this, let's turn this filter off for a second. So I'm just going to comment that out. And let's go back to having this as a box shadow, just to highlight another difference that we can do with filter. And so this is going to be a 001RAM black, just so we stay consistent with what we're doing. But let's change the background here to just the color. And you got to spell things right, color helps. And when you have text and you put a box shadow on it, you get this type of thing going on, right? Which isn't what I'm after right now. Now I could replace that with a text shadow, but then my box over here wouldn't have a shadow on it. This is a bit of an edge case. You probably wouldn't want to do this regularly. But if you use a filter on something, it will work both on an element and on text. And I'm actually going to make this a little bit smaller. Just so we can see that the text definitely does have a shadow coming on it. If we turn it off, we'll really see it. It sort of fades all the way. And then we create some separation between the background there. So drop shadow is kind of cool in that it works both on text as well as on other stuff, including if this had a PNG with some transparency or other things like that, you could bring in your shadows on those elements, which is kind of interesting. Now off the top, I did also mention that there's other stuff that you can do with filter. And there's a whole bunch of weird things that we can actually do with it. So for example, I could do a filter and we could do a gray scale, gray scale of zero. And actually I want to do one, because we need 100% on that. So you can actually do 100% here as well, and it would also work. There's an opacity one that works here as well where you can use the regular opacity of zero to like one to zero, like you would opacity or you can put in percentages. So here, like if I do 50%, it's gonna be 50% gray scale, or I could come in and do a 0.5, and it's going to have the same thing where it's a 50% opacity, or gray scale, I should say. And so let's put that back to zero, because this isn't our one, I should say. This is probably not something that you would actually do. But let's, we'll make this lime green. I don't know why we would do this, but you can see they're all gray now and you could do, and I've seen this done with images before. It can make it a bit more interesting than this, but we'll say example hover is, and I guess you'd have a focus state and other stuff that you could do this on, but then we could change the filter over to a zero and of course do a transition on my filter of 500 milliseconds, just as a quick little thing we can do on there. And then, look at that, we can actually get that to change and because it's on these two different elements, maybe what we'd actually do here is hover here and then all of the children get rid of their gray scale. There we go. So you can do that type of thing. I don't think I'd use it exactly like this with lime green text, but it opens up some interesting things. And you might be wondering, well, what if I want a drop shadow on there too? Well, we can do that. And you'll notice right now my drop shadow is not working because we can't have the same property two times on something because that's just getting in the way of whatever it is we're doing. This one's coming second, so it's overwriting that one, but we could come in and just put two of them here and then you can have multiple filters on something and then let's keep that there. So then we can have our shadow that's in both situations or maybe you turn off your shadow or whatever it is, but just to say you can have multiple different effects being applied and stuff, you'll see it's a little janky because you shouldn't be doing transitions on shadows. It's smoothed up now, but those first ones were kind of janky. So let's leave those shadows on all the time. There is a way to do performant drop shadows or animating shadows, but this isn't the right way to do it. Blur is another one that maybe you want to use. So here we can say there's a blur of one rem and then here we do a blur of zero. So obviously it's very blurry and then we can have it come into focus. Don't know what the performance is on blur. So and that's a really big blur, maybe a 0.25 or something. But yeah, we can blur things out a little bit and stuff. So a few different interesting use cases. I think those are still in grayscale and drop shadow are the most useful. Then blur and then there's a few others like the sepia and the hue shift and a few other ones. So I'll link to the MDN article down below that goes into detail on all of those. And if you would like to know how to do performant drop shadows instead of doing this where you can get a little bit janky or if you just like fun CSS effects and you'd like to look at more of those types of things, there is a video on the performant drop shadows and there is a short custom playlist that I put together right here on fun CSS effects. And with that, a very big thank you to Jan, Johnny, Stuart and Tim who are my supporters of awesome over on Patreon as well as all my other patrons for their monthly support. And of course, until next time, don't forget to make your corner of the internet just a little bit more awesome.


what we'll do is we'll just integrate it because it is somewhat the same. Like it's obviously there are two different brands but it is all kind of somewhat the same. Real estate, your credit.

Hello everybody, Andrea Mayesca here with dental well tutoring. I'm going to talk to you guys about taxes today So the dental hygienists and taxes now before I continue Let me honestly say that I'm not an accountant and I highly recommend getting an accountant. I Have one I tried to do it myself But honestly, that's not where my skill set lies and when it comes to money You want to be able to claim everything you can but you don't want to claim too much and try to get away with too much And then you get in big trouble and have to pay money back So I highly recommend an accountant for sure I could talk about taxes for hours because there's a lot to show you guys There's a lot of templates and things involved, but once you get the hang of it. It's super easy It just means you have to stay organized You have to be organized and I tend to look through everything my expenses income once a month I tried to do it once a week, but life gets in the way and that's just difficult to do I'm sure if I did it once a week it'd be a lot easier for me But I take an hour or two once a month and get through everything Whereas when I first started I guess claiming taxes to be a dental hygienist or to be a dental hygienist Was when I started tutoring and I made more money that I kind of had to claim taxes anyway for my tutoring And now I kind of lump it all in into one big sum But I would do that at the end of the year But I would literally spend hours and hours and hours looking through expenses looking through my income looking through all of this so I teach you guys how to be organized and I kind of teach you guys what worked for me because I consider myself an organized person but I'm also one of those people where when life gets in the way I put things off, you know, like I'll do it tomorrow and then oh something else came up I'll do it on Saturday and then oh I'll do it on Tuesday. Oh, well, I haven't done it for three weeks What's another week, you know, so I'm one of those people But it's so much easier to just get things organized ahead of the game and to talk to a professional That's helped me so much. I go through everything in my course that I have now called Dental LRDH. I'll put the link on the bottom for you if you are interested It is a full course where you have lifetime access to everything that a dental hygienist needs to know now I am based in Canada But I talk about everything that a dental hygienist needs to know as a whole Including taxes everybody always has questions about taxes and I know a thing or two about taxes because I've been claiming them now for At least four years. It should have been sooner, but I just didn't know any better So I've been claiming them now for four years and it has saved me a fortune So if you guys would like to check out that course, I do offer full Templates for taxes, which is great Like I said before I could talk about taxes for hours, but I'm just gonna kind of go through The basics for you right now. So you have an idea So if you are a temp dental hygienist Taxes are a little bit different for you because if you're not a permanent employee of some kind whether it be full-time or part-time Your employer isn't automatically taking away taxes from your paycheck and they should be If you're a permanent employee, they most likely are Anytime a dental office tells you that they're hiring you under contract tell them that's not allowed Now again you guys Everything I mentioned in the video today depends on where you live Of course, but this is pretty much throughout the board and and what I've been told from my accountant Personally not all accountants might agree with the same thing some accountants like to get away with certain things some of Accountants are less, you know, what's the word? I'm looking for but they're less aggressive Some of them are more aggressive. So it really depends on the accountant, but Me the relationship that I have with my accountant is I don't want to get in trouble I don't want to owe any money. Even if that means by not taking risks. I'm okay with that I don't want to owe anything But the main thing that he has said to me is as a dental professional. You're not It's not your fault.  So that's kind of what they're treating you as as well You work for me. Here's cash. Here's a check. They're not supposed to do that. Have I accepted that? Oh heck Yes, I worked for an office for almost a year that I was hired under contract, but I didn't know any better I thought it was fine. I felt like I made so much more because they're not taking away taxes But I made sure to set aside enough for Taxes just to be on the safe side Now how much you want to set aside is up to you So if for some reason you are in the situation where you are being paid as a contract employee Meaning they don't take away taxes Set aside enough for taxes every paycheck. My accountant says to save 30 percent Um 20 to 30 percent I would just always save the 30 percent because I didn't want to get caught up with having to pay so much at the end of the Year or at the beginning of the year or whatever and to just simply not have the money and anything that was left over I felt good and I just used it on something else Versus let's say although I'm just going to save 10 percent because that's all I can afford You will owe a lot at the end of the year or sorry the beginning of the year I keep saying end of the year But you would you know handle your taxes the beginning But you will owe so much and you'll be so stressed Okay, so I suggest putting aside 30 percent because hey We're human beings if if we've been working somewhere forever and they've hired us on Contract and not taking away taxes. We probably don't feel comfortable going up to them and saying you're not allowed to do this You know you have to pay me as a proper and Employee take away my taxes, you know We're not going to do that. I'm human you're human I totally understand that so if you're in that situation then make sure to put enough aside But if you want to look for another job, it's probably a good idea because it will save you a lot of headache trust me Even I've been in the situation before where I worked at it at the dental office. I was young You know, you didn't really know any better, but they weren't taking enough away from taxes So here I thought I'd be fine, but come tax time I always owed money. It would be eight hundred dollars two thousand dollars Whatever, but I always owed money and I'm thinking why do I owe money like this is ridiculous And you know when you're young you probably don't have eight hundred dollars just lying around and my accountant or sorry I didn't have an accountant at the time, but I knew an accountant And I just sort of you know asked them some questions and they said well They're not taking away enough for taxes and I'm thinking how am I supposed to know that shouldn't they be knowing that? So that's just kind of how that comes into play. So I guess in a nutshell make sure your Office is taking away taxes that does help you so much. Now a lot of hygienists asked me can reclaim uniforms can reclaim our gas Receipts can we claim continuing education? Yes, you can but it just depends on how you go about it If you call yourself self-employed then yes, you can claim all of those things But that also means you're not Allowed to have a lot of the benefits of a lot of things that those who aren't self-employed are entitled to so it just depends on how You want to go about it? So a little backstory about me is I've been tutoring now for about almost 14 years But I just started claiming taxes for that about four or five years ago because I just simply wasn't making enough Or so I thought to claim taxes But apparently I was and I should have been but I just simply didn't know that right But now that I make a full-time income from tutoring, which is awesome. I love that I Have to whether I want to or not claim taxes, but that does have its certain benefits Claiming taxes on it means that I can claim things like I tutor from home So I can claim my mortgage my computer my my heating costs my air conditioning costs If I hired somebody to mow the lawn, you know things like that I can claim So you're probably thinking why I can't claim that stuff. I don't work from home But you know as I was saying though, I'm self-employed, but I I do tie in my dental hygiene stuff as well because I am considered a temp hygienist so That could mean depending on the office where I'm working as I get cash or a check or I'm seen as a contract If I don't work in the same office all the time It doesn't make sense for them to hire me as an employee if I'm there, you know one Monday every six months or you know Something like that, right? It just doesn't make sense Sorry guys, I'm expecting somebody and I was just checking if they were here yet, but they're not So it just kind of depends on the situation But for me since I'm a tutor and I do own my own business and I can kind of tie everything in which is nice But that also means that I am not entitled to Unemployment income if I ever lose my job as a temp hygienist or if I'm working somewhere permanently I would not be entitled to that because I tutor as well I'm not entitled to maternity leave because I'm saying I'm self-employed But that's also because I tutor as well So when you say you're self-employed when you classify yourself as Self-employed you are self-employed and you're not entitled to a lot of the same things So you kind of have to look into that and think okay. Well if I'm claiming everything I'm self-employed or do you work for an office where you don't have to claim everything? but you are still Excuse me. I'm just gonna have some water for a second Clearly I'm very passionate about this topic right guys Sorry, I keep thinking I'm like hearing things. Sorry now my webcam is all blurry Well, probably because my dog is barking so sorry about that So you have to pick and choose what you want to do But if you were a permanent employee somewhere else you could always you know try to claim things like you're continuing Education, you know like that's something small that they would just simply say yes or no to But it can't hurt to try to claim say a three hundred dollar course, right? But if you go so far as claiming all of your gas to and from work claiming continuing Education claiming your uniforms all of that then you can't just have it both ways You have to be self-employed So this is where if you guys have more questions and need more help sign up for my new course Dental LRDH. Well, it's a new course, but all of this I've been developing the course for probably just under a year It is amazing and it will help you with so many things not just taxes. So if this sounds confusing to you Please have a look and I go through everything for you inside the course. There's templates. There's everything Well, let's see what time is it? How long has this video been? Sorry guys. I tried not to make it too long But I want to mention though, too for your uniforms You're not allowed to claim your uniforms unless it has the logo on it So if it says your office logo Then you can claim it because it's for that office, right? Technically if you have like a logo of your name on there, you might be able to get away with claiming it But I haven't tried that yet So I don't know if I would recommend it but it has to be something permanent and it has to be a logo You know simply me, you know, even myself as a tutor me buying new clothes I can't claim that as my uniform even though I tutor online. I have to wear clothes, you know for my students, obviously And I can't just always wear the same clothes, but but they say well, yes, technically you can unless it is a uniform that I wear only for my Webinars and tutoring I could claim that but that's a lie So I can't claim a lot of the things that I might be able to so you really can't have it both ways Get an accountant to help you, but I do have templates everything all of that inside the course. There are hours and hours Yes, there are of Videos helping you guys through everything not just taxes but talking about appointments talking about how to talk to patients What do you do when a patient doesn't want x-rays infection control how to transfer a patient in a wheelchair, you know I mean, we're talking about taxes here, but there's a lot inside the course I'll leave the link at the bottom for you feel feel free to have a look and Taxes especially is not something that you can kind of read over work on your taxes for one afternoon It's an ongoing thing, but if you utilize them properly you can save a ton of Money come tax time. I can't say that enough. I'm a quick example again I took the restorative hygiene course about three years ago I was able to claim that all my taxes. So I saved about seven thousand dollars Yeah, the course was about ten thousand and I saved a good chunk of money because I was able to claim that But I was also a tutor and self-employed at that time So I was able to claim all of that But if you're not careful, you could end up owing a lot of money too. So you really need to need to be careful Higher an accountant and they will help you out, but your accountant won't be a dental hygienist So I can help you guys with the dental hygiene part and what works for me How I claim my taxes and then oh it would be so much less stressful for you And I do update the tax part of the course at the end of every single year because things change So you will have that after every single year because inside the course Dental LRDH. It's a lifetime course. So you can even just watch a couple videos a year watch the one tax Module that has a ton of Teachings in there and it would be well worth it. So thank you guys for watching but if you guys have any questions feel free to comment and I would be happy to help you guys out. So thank you for watching and good luck come tax time I'm going to go organize my taxes now actually because it is almost the end of the month and I'll see you guys in the next one


Another week of exciting space activity has just passed and I'm here to tell you all about it. Welcome everybody and if you're new around here I hope you like your stay. An old man who's just flown to the edge of space. A young man is about to do the same. A rover has just visited a parachute on Mars and if that wasn't enough SpaceX just received a brand new boat. So stay tuned as this is your episode of Tomorrow News for the week of July 19th 2021. For a long time the setup was simple. Just read the instructions on the west coast to support launches from Vandenberg and of course I still love you on the east coast to support the launches from Kennedy Space Center and the Cape Canaveral Space Force station. But as it turned out a few months back Florida was about to get real busy with launches and not wanting to crash their multi-million-dollar rocket boosters into the ocean they decided to bring just read the instructions over to the east coast to help with the increased launch cadence. Released that was the case until a few weeks ago when obviously was moved over to the west coast to support future Polar Starlink launches but you know from August the launches are ramping straight back up and in the future SpaceX may need to land all three cores of a Falcon Heavy on drone ships which you can't do if you only have two.  Elon tweeted some incredible drone footage showing the ship driving under its own power and whilst the other ships can hold the same GPS position by themselves they don't have the capability to go out and retrieve a booster with no other assistance. Well now theoretically ASOG should be able to do that although realistically a crude vessel would still need to be closed by and tugs would be required to bring it into port due to the tight nature of the area because you don't really want the bill of crashing into a Disney cruise liner. With some upgrades the other two drone ships could also have the same theoretical possibility which I genuinely think SpaceX may test out because it'd cost less and probably be quicker to retrieve. Theoreticals aside the cosmetics have changed when compared to the older ships as well the winds on the side now taper off at the end instead of a hard 90 degree angle which gives it a more sleeker look at the time most certainly a fan of. The markings are exactly the same you'll find on JRTI and obviously as well as at LC1, LC2 and LC4 but of course the new name is there instead. On the previous iterations of the drone ships the technical gubbins have been spread out on the front and back or left and right sides depending on which direction you look at it however on a short full of gravitas the majority of the technical gubbins are at one end. I find it fascinating to look at the evolution of the drone ships from the original Marmac 300 just read the instructions then the Marmac 304 of course I still love you and then the Marmac 303 just read the instructions and now the most modern Marmac 302 are short full of gravitas. New boats aside let's pop them down to Starbase and have a look what's been happening over there. Static fire testing isn't too far away for super heavy as two Raptor engines have arrived at the suborbital launch site and they've been attached to the underside of B3. Once we've seen some cryogenic proof tests that end well we should be expecting a static fire within a few days but we'll just have to wait and see what SpaceX decide to do. The crane dubbed Francon Crane because of its immense size has also been undergoing some upgrades with a new extended boom allowing it to lift rocket parts or parts of the integration tower that are even bigger than what it can already lift. The size of this thing boggles my mind look at it compared to the cars below it. The eighth and final section of the integration tower has also just been constructed and moved over to the orbital launch site and plopped on top of the seven sections already in place. Something else that has been spotted is a ring section littered with thermal protection tiles which could possibly be for Starship S20. The hexagonal shapes looked cool before in their small little patches but now with the light being bounced around an entire section of them that just looks so futuristic and so cool. We've also received word from Elon there's a new Raptor facility will be built in Texas which will work on producing the next generation Raptor 2 engines whilst the base back in Hawthorne will continue to work on the Arvac engines and new designs. Apart from one small weather hiccup which led to an hour delay Virgin Galactic's first fully crewed flight to space went off without a hitch. Releasing from White Knight 2 at 1525 UTC last Sunday the suborbital flight to 85 kilometers lasted around 10 minutes with the four mission specialists Beth Moses, Colin Bennett, Sarisha Bandler and of course Sir Richard Branson able to experience zero G for about two minutes or so. Because this flight originated from the United States and it flew over 80 kilometers which the FAA, US military and NASA agree on being the edge of space the members of the crew who hadn't flown to space before received their astronaut wings from Chris Hadfield. Branson also used this moment to share a special message for children back on earth. So all you kids down there I was once a child with a dream looking up to the stars now I'm an adult in a spaceship with lots of other wonderful adults looking down to a beautiful beautiful earth to the next generation of dreamers if we can do this just imagine what you can do. The space flight itself was of course very exciting indeed but the overarching story behind all of this is the fact that Branson beat Bezos into space the net date for the Blue Origin flight is July 20th but that just didn't come soon enough for the person that runs a twitter account where a graphic was posted comparing spaceship 2 to New Shepard. Now a lot of the data here can be seen as true as the fact that New Shepard flies higher well that's true but if Bezos really has so much respect for NASA why would he recognize the Carmen line and not the 80 kilometers that the government recognizes. But Blue haven't even flown humans yet and what constitutes as a safe flight because if that is a hint towards the tragic accident of the spaceship one vehicle that is completely unacceptable but on the other hand they're now donating millions from the sea auction to space organizations which need funding so I don't know what to make of it. Speaking of that New Shepard flight the anonymous person who donated a lot of money to fly on said flight sadly won't be able to make the flight to space because of a schedule conflict. Now I'm sorry but who spends millions to fly to space and then decides something is more important than flying to space. It's okay though because whoever was meant to fly to space has been replaced by 18 year old Oliver Diamond from the Netherlands. His father Yoz Diamond was one of the bidders for the flight although he did not get the highest bid. If Oliver doesn't decide something is more important than a flight to space he will become the youngest human to ever fly into space a title which was going to go to Haley Arsenault when she launches on the Inspiration 4 mission. It isn't all bad though for the person who has some very important scheduling conflicts as they've been granted permission to choose a future Blue Origin flight to fly on. Moving from Earth to Mars and some interesting movements from China's wrong rover as it has paid a visit back to its own parachute which helped land it on the surface of the red planet. There isn't much else to see apart from the spherical back shell which protected the rover during re-entry and the eerie Martian landscape behind it. Staying on the subject of the Asian superpower China and reusable probably aren't words you hear in the same sentence every day as the country has become famous for dumping spent rocket boosters on innocent people's homes. However last Friday the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation or SASC announced that a test flight of a reusable suborbital vehicle had taken place launching from the Jiquan Satellite Launch Center and landing at Alxalig in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is China so we don't have any other information from them although the statement released did say that the system uses integrated aviation and space technologies which is a very clear indication that the flight used a vertical takeoff and a horizontal landing much like the space shuttle. Hopefully this will lead to more development of reusable rockets and less villages being destroyed by hypergolic fuel tanks and before we head into some space traffic I have some very very good news to bring. Everyone's favorite space-based telescope the Hubble is finally back up online and working after it moved to a backup payload computer on Saturday. I'll be honest I was starting to get worried after the main payload computer malfunctioned all the way back on June 13th which is over a month ago but lucky the genius minds at NASA have managed to bring it back online. If you're worried about the future of Hubble don't be as a lot of astronomers are confident that the observatory will last way into the 2020s and possibly even the 2030s with that good news covered let's have a look at some space traffic. The first of two launches this week comes from China with the launch of Tian Lian-1 launch 5 atop a long march 3c slash e taking off on July 6th at 1553 UTC from LC2 at the Zhichang satellite launch centre all 2400 kilos of payload on board is headed for a geostationary transfer orbit. This satellite will join the other four Tian Lian satellites currently in geostationary orbit which provide communications coverage for the Zhenzai missions and the Tiangong space station. The next and final launch of the week comes again from China with the launch of the Zhongxi O2 satellites lifting off from the Tian satellite launch centre on the 9th of July at 1159 UTC the second launch of the Zhongxi network will help the growing constellation of remote sensing satellites and finally this week we have the undocking of the CRF-22 Dragon. Lifting off on June 3rd the capture had been docked to the ISS for a little over a month before undocking at 1445 UTC on the 8th of July splashing back down in the Atlantic Ocean on July 10th at 0329 UTC the Dragon was picked up by GoNavigator and was brought back to Port Canaveral where it was unloaded from GoNavigator on July 13th. Let's have a look at some upcoming launches. Space weather this week is definitely keeping us on pins and needles as we take a look at our front side sun you can see multiple active regions region 2842 43 and 44 with region 2844 firing off solar storms already but believe it or not this isn't the really exciting part of the story it's pretty quiet earth side as we take a look at our far-sighted sun this is stereo A and it's looking at the sun pretty much from the side you can see region 2842 43 and 44 but look at all the other players on the East Lim and Stereo's view this these regions are actively firing off solar storms we've already had multiple solar storm launches that have kind of scared us a little bit because we thought they were earth directed but they're not meanwhile we've had less than 24 hours and we've already seen three solar storm launches from region 2844 a new one on the sun's south and in the north and these look to be pretty strong solar storms so it's getting to be interesting and as these regions rotate into earth view over the next week they could easily become mflare players bringing us radio blackouts radiation storms and they could affect space traffic pretty severely now returning to the two big solar storms that were fired on the sun's far side we need to take a look at the coronagraph images now these are the coronagraph images from the lasco instrument on the soho spacecraft and the view is from earth and we have the 13th on this side and the 15th on this side and you can tell they're both pretty big focusing on the 13th you can see the big signature all the way around the sun we call that a halo signature and that makes us believe that it's coming toward earth but in actuality in this case it's actually moving away from the sun and moving away from the earth on the sun's far side but this was likely fired from region 2840 which was that big mflare player that disappeared around to the sun's far side back what around the 10th or something like that and this region will be rotating back into view in about a week so we are really paying attention because this region looks like it's still a massive solar storm player now also on the 15th we had yet another massive solar storm you can see again once again it's a halo eruption and it's got this massive filaments stuff see all that really dense material right there going off to the south now it's hard to tell if this was actually fired from one region or actually multiple regions because there are three players on the sun's far side that look like they launched almost all in the same day so some of this could be from the same eruption and some of it could be from slightly different but nonetheless this is showing some massive solar storm launch and it's showing that the sun is definitely waking up because we're getting multiple solar storm launches in less than 24 hours for more details on this week's space weather including what those new far side regions could do once they rotate into earth view and how they could affect you come check out my channel we're seeing me at space weatherwoman.com before we head out for this week's episode let's thank the citizens of tomorrow their continued support make sure that not only the tomorrow news show can continue but that the live shows can return in the very near future if you'd like to join the escape velocity orbital sub orbital all-ground support ranks head on over to youtube.com forward slash tmro forward slash join feel free to share the show too i wouldn't complain thank you so much for watching i'll see you in a couple of weeks jarrod should be back soon and goodbye


Lockdowns haven't brought down COVID mortality, but they have killed millions of jobs. By Mitch Nimmoth, an audio Mises wire narrated by Michael Stack. During the early onset of COVID-19 in the spring, government officials across the political spectrum widely agreed that government intervention and forced closure of many businesses was necessary to protect public health. This approach has clearly failed in the United States as it led to widespread economic devastation, including millions of jobs lost, bankruptcies, and extremely severe losses in profitability. Nor have states with strict lockdowns succeeded in bringing about fewer COVID deaths per million than states that were less strict. Consequently, a few months into the pandemic, some governors weighed the competing economic costs with COVID-19 containment and slowly reopened their economies. Of course, these governors did not mandate businesses reopen, however they provided businesses the option to reopen. Hysteria ensued as many viewed easing restrictions as akin to mass murder. The Atlantic famously dubbed Georgia Governor Brian Kemp's easing of restrictions as human sacrifice and referred to Georgians as being in the case study in pandemic exceptionalism. Instead, we should view the lockdowns as a case study in the failure of heavy-handed approaches in containing a highly infectious virus. Now that we are nine months into this pandemic, there is a clearer picture of how state government approaches varied widely. It is clear that reopened economies are faring much better overall than less reopened economies. Fueled by broader, faster economic reopenings following the initial coronavirus rash, conservative leaning red states are by and large far outpacing liberal leaning blue states in terms of putting people back to work, writes Kerry Sheffield. This follows logically especially when considering that human beings learn to adapt very quickly. Now we have learned much more about treating this virus and about who is most at risk from infection. Not everyone can stay home. Even so, many proponents of lockdown still contend that every COVID infection is a failure of public policy, but this position is largely a luxury of white-collar workers who can afford to work from home. Lockdowns have been described as the worst assault on the working class in half a century. Martin Kulldorf, a biostatistician, says the blue-collar class is out there working including high-risk people in their 60s. Kulldorf's colleague Jay Badacharia notes that one reason minority populations have had higher mortality in the U.S. from the epidemic is because they don't often have the option to stay at home. In effect, top-down lockdown policies are regressive and reflect a monomania, says Dr. Badacharia. With this in mind, it's easy to see why more affluent Americans tend to view restrictive measures as the appropriate response. For many Americans, prolonged periods of time without gainful employment, income, or social interaction are not only impossible but potentially deadly. Martin Kulldorf notes that COVID-19 restrictions do not consider broader public health issues and create collateral damage. Among the collateral damage is a worsening incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancer and an alarming decline in immunization. Dr. Badacharia correctly notes that society will be counting the health arms from these lockdowns for a very long time. Badacharia emphasized the politicization of these restrictions. When Black Lives Matter protests broke out in the spring, 1,300 epidemiologists signed the letter saying that the gatherings were consistent with good public health practice. While those same epidemiologists argued that, we should essentially quarantine in place. Such a contradiction defines logic and undercuts arguments about the lethality of this virus. If this novel virus truly were as devastating to the broader public as advertised, then political leaders supporting mass protests and riots during a pandemic seem to be ill-founded. This contradiction has been cited in countless lawsuits, challenging the validity and constitutionality of COVID-19 restrictions. Separately, these often heavy-handed restrictions have targeted constitutionally protected rights, like the freedom of religion. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito criticized the Nevada governor's restrictions, saying that Nevada would discriminate in favor of the powerful gaming industry and its employees may not come as a surprise. We have a duty to defend the Constitution and even a public health emergency does not absolve us of that responsibility. This scathing criticism, however, did not gain the support of the Supreme Court as a five to four majority deferred to the governor's responsibility to protect the public in a pandemic. Such deference may be politically beneficial for the Supreme Court, but it presents a much more significant problem for basic freedoms. For one, many of these COVID restrictions have been issued by state governors or administrative agencies rather than through democratic means. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been targeted for her continued sidestepping of democratic channels and for her top-down approach. These COVID restrictions are somewhat meaningless without ample enforcement and resources, so many major American cities have created task forces for enforcing these COVID restrictions. For example, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has threatened to shut off public utilities for those who host massive house parties. Garcetti wants to treat private gatherings similar to the bars and nightclubs he has forced closed. Not only is this ridiculous, but it is also authoritarian. There have been few checks on his ability to weaponize public utilities this way. The New York City Sheriff's Office recently busted a party of more than 200 people who were flouting coronavirus restrictions. Their crime?  In typical government fashion, the owner of the venue was slapped with five summons for violation of emergency orders, unlicensed sale of alcohol, and unlicensed warehousing of alcohol. What would we do without the government? California Governor Gavin Newsom has long been a part of this effort to restrict freedoms under the guise of public health. Governor Newsom and the California Department of Public Health released new safety guidelines for all private gatherings during the Thanksgiving holiday. According to Newsweek, all gatherings must include no more than three households, including hosts and guests, and must be held outdoors, lasting for two hours or less. Given Newsom's interventionist tendencies, it's likely that these restrictions will be enforced. How will the government determine how many households are at a Thanksgiving meal, and who will enforce the two-hour window? These are questions that journalists should ask. Meanwhile, the varying levels of economic recovery between red states and blue states demonstrate how top-down policy can be a failure. Strict lockdowns have devastated millions of families' incomes while failing to bring success in suppressing COVID mortality. This failed experiment must be brought to an end.
