In Episode 31 behind the Secret Door, Alicia and Frances will be discussing the latest in politics and their lives once again after a short hiatus.
The most recent news to hit the floor is the conviction of Derek Chauvin who was found guilty on all four counts for the death of George Floyd. Based on this verdict, there is a strong sense from many that perhaps police officers should have more training. There also is a belief that perhaps during a mental crisis the police should not be called but instead proper professionals of the mental health industry.
The debate between police funding and outsourcing to other systems to improve how situations are handled is still ongoing. Also, many do have to remember that police face danger every day, and they are often called hurtful things in their shifts, particularly at nighttime. Either way, there could perhaps be more done to divide things better to help people and the police. Alicia and Frances will both hit different points of view on what perhaps could be done.
The next piece of news is the presentation by the White House for the American Jobs Plan. The White House has brought forth the issue with the United States not being able to get back to where were economically before the pandemic, and their idea is to rebuild a new economy during this time of transition. The idea is to fix all major highways, bridges, transit systems, and airports. This includes rebuild if necessary and upgrades as needed. They also want to update the water systems, electric grids, and high-speed broadband systems. Essentially, they believe all Americans should have availability to these necessities.
Alicia also brings up their plans for childcare and the schools to better serve more people in need of these services. The White House also plans to create jobs, raise wages, and create benefits for essential home care workers. These issues hit very close to Alicia due to her current standing in life, and she has thoughts on it that should be heard by her listeners.
Alicia and Frances will also talk about the professionalism of Biden and his lack of tweeting in comparison to our former president. While others may have issues with Biden’s lack of social media presence, many find it a nice refreshing peace of mind.
And of course, Alicia will let us know the latest on what news platforms have tried to make false accusations and claims that they then have to fix in later statements. Find out what news platforms are still untrustworthy and give yourself a good laugh while hearing their poor journalism mistakes.
Tune into the show to find out more about what’s going on in the country, France’s thoughts on the police perspective, and Alicia’s latest tv obsessions.
What do you think about the Chauvin trial? Has Biden’s presidency been a nice break for you too? Do you know what the American Jobs Plan proposal is?
