Consider This from NPR - The plan to tackle customer service bots and subscription fatigue

This week, the Biden administration announced it is taking on more of what it calls "everyday headaches and hassles that waste Americans' time and money."

And it's doing that by having federal agencies make new business rules.

There are actions to simplify health insurance paperwork, crack down on fake product reviews, streamline parent-teacher communications in schools and circumvent those automated customer service calls that the White House labels "doom loops."

It's all part of a wider economic mission to eliminate modern business practices that the Biden administration believes exploit Americans.

Neera Tanden, the director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, breaks down why this is happening and how it will work in reality.

The Indicator from Planet Money - The Denver basic income experiment

Homelessness is a pervasive issue that cities across the country struggle to address. This led an entrepreneur to team up with researchers and local foundations for an experiment called the Denver Basic Income Project. The goal was to see how different variations of a basic income program would impact the local homeless population. What the researchers found could become a guide for how localities in the United States could address the problem of homelessness.

1A - Why All Roads Of Inquiry Lead To Wikipedia

Or rather – the tens of millions of editors who have contributed and updated its pages. More than 100,000 so-called "Wikipedians" have done so in the past month alone.

Debate often arises among editors. For example, a couple months ago, editors thrashed out where the two words "convicted felon" should appear on Donald Trump's page. In the first few sentences? Or buried further down?

What does the future of the site hold?
