"It's hard and it's a life journey. The one thing we find exactly what james is saying is at the charity. We use elephants a lot because elephants never forget but the biggest reason we use them because of the subject of child death and death is very much the elephant in the room and we want people to talk about it. And i don't want people to hide when they see me coming in tesco's or cross the street because they think can get a break down and cry. It's okay to say jordan. Paul to me. It's really important. They live on incredible to hear iran. Just just underline that for your charity to wish upon a star. You're not helping. I'm guessing what dozens hundreds of people every year. We have on average. I hate using numbers because they are individuals children and young adults but we have over two hundred seventy five of these individuals passing away every year and we support on average four to five people per death the ripple effect is something that we really really want to support not just immediate family. When george died it was his nursery teachers. It was our neighbors. When paul died affected thousands of people one death affects so many people so what we try and do is support anyone anyone who knows that the child anyone who may have subtly witnessed the death or even the professionals involved in the death of the child because we need to look after our nine workers are nhs and our police staff so if there is anyone in wales who's lost a child all has been affected by the death of a child a sudden death of a child. You know get in touch because we want to look after you. You deserve support and you must reach out and talk james. Just on that issue of trying to deal with with grief. Did you identify that in the documentary as well. Whatever culture you dealing with there was a difference in the way that men and women approach grief. Yeah completely. I mean even just anecdotally speaking people that works in charities exactly what pushes said there is a different attitude towards. What's important to say. Is that if you don't want to talk about your grief that's also okay. There's no right way to grieve. Not like laying out kind of a road map here of how to do it. But you shouldn't feel like you shouldn't be able to talk about it. And that there was a study by movember in two thousand nine hundred and they found the around fifty eight percent of men throughout their expected to be emotionally strong and showing a weakness. That's a lot of people feel that way. I mean that's all kind of emotions but grief is big part of that. Sometimes you have to pick at the scab for the hill properly. I think. I hope that we can move towards a world where we feel more comfortable speaking openly with each other without stigma without fear of judgement and we learn how to heal our wounds in a healthier way.

"Long economics correspondent for The Washington Post. And Annalise Goger fellows at Brookings Metro at the Brookings Institution. And I started by asking Annalise to clarify the specific unemployment benefits that ended in normal times. We have largely state run unemployment system and what many people call regular unemployment insurance. But during the pandemic The Congress had to step in because most of the workers impacted by the pandemic were not eligible for that regular unemployment insurance for various reasons, and so they had to create actually, three whole new programs in the middle of the crisis, and it's those emergency programs that Expired on Labor Day. And so that includes one program to cover workers like gig workers, Um self employed people who normally would categorically not qualify. Including people who are part time or didn't earn enough. And then another category was extended benefits. So if if you're a long term unemployed due to the economy, then they were offering extended benefits up to 53 weeks, and normally it ends at 26. In most states, and then the third is the unemployment supplement, which was the most controversial, which initially was around $600 and has more recently been reduced to around $300 so As of Labor Day, all three of those things go away. So what The only thing left is the regular state unemployment insurance, which actually covers a pretty small share of people's previous income, although it varies from state to state. It can be as low as you know, uh, just around 100 to $200 a week and then to a high around for 500 a week, so that's very concerning because this these emergency programs did a lot to address a lot of the structural inequities and outdated Nature of the safety net. Heather. Maybe you can pick up there on at least just left off about sort of what these benefits did you know, Obviously they were in place for long enough for us to have at least some understanding of what their impact was. Well, there was a huge impact, and we just saw some new data come out in the last few days. That shows us that big reason that hunger did not spike as high as everyone was really concerned about during 2020 during the worst of the crisis is because of the government stepping in and giving more generous unemployment aid and those three stimulus checks that went out. So you know, literally was keeping people's lights on and keeping people fed during this crisis, And it's also interesting. We had a little bit of a test case this summer. 22 states, uh, mainly by Republican governors did do away early with those benefits, so they essentially did what happened nationwide on Labor Day. Ah in June or July, and the early evidence from those states that rolled back early is pretty telling. There was no big increase in those states in employment. So these arguments that these more generous unemployment benefits were keeping people from returning to jobs does not seem to be the case at least right away. But at the same time, while some data indicates that hunger rose in those states as unemployment benefits went away, and hardship pain bills went up again. An interestingly a lot of those state economies had a little bit of a ding because that money obviously is so critically needed right now, and people spend it right away and they spend it on groceries. They spend it on rent. They spend it on fixing their car. And so when all of that money suddenly ends overnight We expect to see a little bit I've hit on the economy. Is this an interesting point right that in an economy that is struggling in the ways that ours has in the context of the pandemic? That giving consumers money to consume their you know, their basic needs also stimulates the economy. I'm Elise. I'm wondering if you can dig in a little bit here. Where on this assumption that Heather was, you know, naming for us that, um, that we've heard repeated a lot in recent months that the reason that there are so many job openings that there's kind of a tight labor market is because of these overly generous unemployment benefits that are keeping people from going back to work. Right. And this, you know, frankly, as an old troop where you're you're blaming the lazy worker for the state of the economy and It's really clear to me that if you look at all the evidence, there have been several studies so far. And although there are small micro level changes, like in the states that Took those away early out of nine workers. One may have been employed by the end of the month. The other eight would still be unemployed. And so I think, partly what's going on here is That you know. First of all the pandemic is that a much greater scale of unemployment than previous recessions and so on Labor Day around 7.5 million Workers were estimated to have lost benefits and in previous recessions, it was in the range of 1 to 2 million. Um Another issue, though, is clearly that the pandemic is creating all kinds of complexities for people in their decisions about Where to go to work and how to navigate this economy because their lives are more unstable. They may have Children at home and not have child care. They may have health issues or family member who has helped issues And so I just think that most workers are thinking about a much wider range of things that maybe they used to pre pandemic. For example, if a job doesn't have health insurance or sick leave, that could be a much bigger deal right now for worker and so the scale combined with the complexity makes this uh this entire labor market extremely Tumultuous and it can take a really long time even in a normal economy for someone to find another job and also for an employer to find a good candidate for a job and so we see a lot of churn and uncertainty. I would be really hesitant to just say, well, it's workers that are being lazy because there's really not much evidence that that's true, and there's a lot more evidence that as Heather was saying earlier That these benefits actually kept them the economy afloat. So I think we need to start thinking about what would have been the cost if we had allowed the economy to tank and allowed all those impacts to happen both individual or family level. But even at the society level Of just the sort of downward spiral that can happen when you don't use economic stay blurs. There's like unemployment insurance. We're coming back around in some ways, not only to the individual household but also to the effect on the economy at large. Can you just kind of, you know, help give us a little bit of a temperature check. Where is the economy Right now? What is job creation look like and maybe also kind of as analyst was hinting at here. Not only jobs but jobs of a particular kind, right? Those that might have things like Sick leave and health insurance. It's such a confusing time for the economy. On the one hand, if you look at the normal metrics that we liked economists like to look at it things look pretty good. You know, we're having some of the strongest economic growth that we've had since the early 19 eighties. Ah, we're having the economy has a record number of job openings. We just got data this week that showed nearly 11 million Job openings in July, something we've just never seen before. So when you look at that, you think Oh, this economy is humming things that really bounced back about 75% of the jobs lost during the pandemic have come back. But on the flip side, you also see that this is an economy that's still has 8.4 million unemployed Americans, which is A really high number, and when you dig into who those people are, you see that's still there's a very high struggle to get jobs back for particularly black women and Hispanic women and Americans who do not have college degrees. So this is the economy that looks like it's firing, but it's not working for everyone. And I will point out that the most read article on The Washington Post over the Labor Day weekend was actually a piece with the headline of Why America has 8.4 million unemployed people and over 10 million job openings a couple of points, some of which analysts was just making about why this is happening. Why can't those unemployed people just take? You know these jobs? I would point out three quick things number one. There's obviously a pandemic still going on..

"Where i think. Every single large company has been forced to think differently about their role that they are trying to make money but they also have to be corporate citizens and to recognize that there are things that need to change a founder myself and as someone who has done a lot of work with gen z. I mean most of them will tell you if they feel like. They have an identification with a brand. That's because they feel like they're buying their voice back and there is no bridge between mission and ideology and consumer purchase. It is one of the same and you wear it every day than it is a sense of pride or you use it every day or you consume it and one thing i am. Curious about is because you've talked about the evolution of insights and sort of intelligence over time. How do you see the funds responsibility to share potential insights with the founders within the fund. And how much are they working together for collaboration or growth opportunities or do they mainly work independently. I would say they were both independently and as a group so we're still a young firm but we launched a founder google group that is deeply active and they really communicate primarily through email to each other but they ask for advice back and forth on a constant basis. And sometimes it's about. I'm looking to hire the world's greatest brand marketer but more often it's about how do i deal with x. y. So fairly recently. There was a really interesting conversation going on about. How do i let go somebody who was an early team member who has a lot of equity and two. I now realize it's not up to the job now that we have grown to be A series b. company. There were half dozen people who answered with. I've been through this. Here's what i think or give me a call. I can tell you what i did. So that's really something we've enabled as opposed to some things we drove re just hired someone to run what's called platform in the world but it's really to create a set of both content and also events and services for our founders. That will help them succeed in early company building and it's definitely a very important part of our role they learned as much from being exposed to each other as they do from a call with us with touched upon the crater economy throughout the whole discussion. And did you also invest in mighty network. Yes we did. Yeah how do you create that separation between individual and business as a crater economy pushes forward individual brand over the notion of business. I think the biggest opportunity as an investor is really the platform side of this giving creators the tools and the platform to be able to build their businesses because there are just to millions of people. Now who are so low nores. They are doing something. They are building something on their own and very very few of them are gonna turn into a martha stewart but in aggregate. They're huge business. That's why we liked the mighty networks model. We look at a lot of companies that are doing something like that or this class. I think the whole ten ninety nine worker space is very fertile. Right now we started looking at this probably three or four years ago based on reading research that said that ninety nine workers were going to be the majority of the workforce by the middle of this decade. That's only been accelerated by kobe. So that includes the creator economy but includes a whole lot of other people to we. Think of gig workers guess by so many service providers who are doing something they are creating a business could be a catering business it could be a landscaping business..

I think a lot of people are kind of tripping over themselves with Y they say, Oh, this is censorship. Of course it is. That's the what That's not the why we'll start with 56 Facebook decision Board director Thomas Hughes, who is more powerful than John Roberts, play cut 56. I mean, the decision is very clear, and so far as you know, the board has found that the suspension of former President Trump was necessary to keep people safe. That the actions of the former president encouraged and legitimize violence and constituted way what the borders term to severe violation of the Facebook rules. He's more powerful than Neil Gorsuch. No one voted for this person Thomas use, but now he gets to make a decision. He that makes the decision whether or not 228 million users. Get to see President Trump's content. But 57 Mark Meadows, his immediate reaction to trump remaining band. Now I will say this I sat in Mark Meadows office before he became chief of staff. Donald Trump. Mark Meadows is a good friend of mine. Remember, I said, we got to break up these tech companies that was considered to be a radical position, then. Oh, my has the Overton window moved. Play tape. The oversight board will uphold the ban on Donald Trump. Your reaction. Yeah, it's a sad day for America. It's a sad day for Facebook. Because I can tell you a number of members of Congress are now looking at. Do they break up Facebook? Do they make sure that they don't have a monopoly? And I could tell you that is it's two different standards, one for Donald Trump and one for a number of other people that are on their sites and and suggesting That more nefarious things than what the president has been accused of actually go unnoticed, often. So I think there's another sound there, though, where it says Congress or not looking at, do we break it up. There might be another one where he says that let's go to cut 58 CNN correspondents. We have that one yet. But 58 CNN correspondents explaining Facebook's oversights board decision cut 58. Listen to Facebook's response, which I'm sure was fascinating on the phone call Dhoni explain it to our viewers. Yeah, This is basically I think a nightmare situation for Facebook. They set up this oversight board purportedly independent to basically make the difficult decisions for them. But what has happened here now is that the borders said, Well, you guys were right to suspend Trump at the time in the immediate aftermath of the insurrection, But we're not so sure you were right to suspend him forever and has now given the company six months so until November to figure out if Trump should be suspended or not. So what's gonna happen next? Well, it's all back on Facebook. It's all back on. Zuckerberg, and it's going to create a public debate. I'm sure we'll hear from Trump will saying that he should be allowed back on from Democrats saying he shouldn't be But all the pressure and the decision is now on Zuckerberg. Two years ago, I gave a speech in front of a bunch of business types. I said that The Menlo Park government is more powerful than our own government. Some of them completely disagreed. They said.

A new independent contractor rule
"We have had a fight going on in the United States between workers and employers for at least a generation. Because it's been about a full generation now. That employers. Started using independent contractors is more and more a part of their regular staffing. And it is something that sometimes works out very well for the worker other times. It's an involuntary thing. You know there are big companies that will lay people off. And then hire them right back through a third party contracting agency and the person comes back with a contractor badge instead of their employees badge and they lose the benefits, lose their whatever job security they had the rest and there are situations like that. But that's not the main action, the main action. has been this never never land. Of when it's right when it's wrong for somebody to be classified as a non employ ten, ninety, nine person independent contractor versus being an employee. And the reality is the courts. Have never been able to come up. With a clear understanding. or a consistent system. To determine when somebody is an employee and when they're an independent contractor. The laws passed in various jurisdictions have been very contentious. There's been an ongoing fight in the state of California. That passed a law that made people like drivers, Ruber and lift. Employees instead of contractors and that's being relegated, and there's going to be a proposition on the ballot. To overturn that and who knows how that's going to play out, and now the US Department of Labor. has weighed in with a new rule. That will actually put the burden of proof. On the non employee. So let's say you're working somewhere. As. A non employee has an independent contractors ten, ninety, nine worker. You will really be in a position where the employers position of making you an independent contractor will be considered to be. The proper win under this proposed rule. In, the last year successfully able to challenge it. So. Essentially you as an independent contractor. Are Not going to effectively be able to challenge the company that's hired you so it means That this is something where the company will. pretty clearly. If, this proposed rule is not overturned later in the courts. And in accompany, Sam not saying employer accompany will be able to have work done by somebody as an icy without worrying as much about later getting their wrist slapped for having somebody as a non employee. As far as. The definitions. As I've said for years based on something written years ago by a university based economist. There's a need in the United States in order for employers to have flexibility in their workforce, but at the same time for people not. To end up in a situation where there are essentially an employee but being treated as a non employee for the. Non Employers convenience that we should have. Instead of this either or. Of Independent, contractor. Or employee with benefits. We should have a third classification that deals with a modern workforce. There would be dependent contractor. So in my mind. Somebody who works for Uber or? Lift. Is a classic example of someone who would be an independent contractor and I don't understand really wet California has tried to do. Because Thank how many times if you ride regularly or did with Uber and left, a driver would be with both had both APPs in whichever one was giving the best pricing or the best bonus at the moment that's who they were driving for. So they really ultimately fit how I would perceive somebody to be an independent contractor on the other hand somebody WHO's working for one particular company? They're typically going to nine corona virus into an office space to work for that company they have pretty much a set shift. For a company to call them an independent contractors. reuss. Is Not really a valid designation. But there are times employer may not want to add to their permanent workforce and that's where this idea of having a third category dependent contractor. Where the employer. Would have the right to treat someone in a way that they can come and go as they wish schedule them up and down and all that. But that the employer would have some responsibility so that individual that they don't now such paying the employer portion of Social Security and Medicare. And potentially even having some level of sick leave. For those independent contractors and that is A. Very different way of looking at this because obviously, this has been too hard from an economic standpoint and from the political process and the legal process. With just having these two systems of independent contractor or employee. The marketplace, the workforce needs some flexibility a needs another way to get there. That would not give the employer. Or the company, an unfair advantage

Why a California Ruling Against Uber and Lyft Could Have a National Impact
"New legislation could put the brakes on the GIG economy last Monday a California Superior Court judge ruled that rideshare companies Uber and Lyft must reclassify drivers from independent contractors to employees. The companies are appealing that decision but if the ruling stands Uber and lift would have to add thousands of drivers to their payrolls and offer them benefits like healthcare paid sick leave vacation the companies say the additional cost would jeopardize their businesses. The ruling is the result of California's a B five law a b five, which took effect in January. It was the first of a series of labor bills that have cropped up around the country in states like. New York New Jersey Illinois and others, and there's a proposed federal version to the laws are well intentioned ms classified workers are a big problem. Nationwide some companies pay fulltime workers as independent contractors to avoid the cost of payroll taxes, health insurance, sick leave, or vacation time so-called ten, ninety, nine workers named for the irs form businesses file to report the income they paid aren't covered by most labor laws. So these workers don't get minimum wage overtime, medical leave or other protections but how do you determine which category you fall into a b five uses the so-called ABC. Test to determine whether an individual is an independent contractor or employee. Basically if the company controls most of how you work or provide your equipment or office, you're an employee, and if you work in the company's quote primary business like say being a driver for a ride share company urine employees to. But pushback on ABC test legislation strong critics like the US Chamber of Commerce say the test is antiquated. It was developed in the nineteen thirties when people were offices or factories. The ABC test also doesn't consider the increase in freelance and independent work that technology has enabled as result. The vague language could also apply to workers like freelance writers, musicians, and even lawyers who work independently and from task rabbit to Insta- cart virtually no GIG worker platform would be spared from the laws. There's another issue too many people choose to work as independent contractors and GIG workers. They like being their own bosses they can turn down work when they feel like it take medications when they want to and create their own dress code try doing that with typical employer for Uber and live. The ruling is just the latest batch of bad news. Both companies have been struggling during the pandemic people are staying home more. So they need fewer rights, which means the rideshare companies need drivers in. February Uber announced that it would lay off roughly thirty five. Hundred employees. The workers got the news during a zoom call according to Forbes. Oh, the irony in April lift laid off about one thousand employees and furloughed about three hundred more even Uber's news. The expansion of its food delivery Business Uber eats isn't all that great as food deliveries have grown uber eats has surged more than double the size of Obama's ride business but overeat still isn't profitable. Uber is attempting to boost its margins through consolidation according to a Yahoo Finance report last year it acquired food delivery company post meets to bolster its delivery business. Last Wednesday. Both companies announced that the California ruling could force them to suspend operations in the Golden State at least for a few months, California makes up more than ten percent of each company's gross bookings marketwatch reports. That revenue loss would be yet another speed bump for the rideshare companies during an already rocky year for now uber and left we'll wait for the results of their appeal. Hoping another judge will shift gears on the ruling.
