We've got a three part-presentation from @alixgouldwerth today:
✅ The problems with UI
✅ Approaches to addressing these problems
✅ Unexpected ways that financing shapes program participant experience
@alixgouldwerth So starting with the problems: @alixgouldwerth tells us UI has two major functions—(1) to stabilize the macroeconomy in moments of economic crisis, and (2) to provide partial income replacement to workers who lose jobs through no fault of their own.

Starting now ⏰ @mlholder999 + @oscarthinks are talking current inflation for @NextCityOrg's Bottom Line Conversations series.
As we begin today's conversation, @mlholder999 reflects on what drew her to economics in the first place and her enduring interest in the issue of work and the position of different groups in the American labor market.
We're starting off with a broad—and important—question at @NextCityOrg: what is the mainstream media missing when it comes to inflation and the economy as a whole?

As a mission-driven organization, Equitable Growth believes in collaboration and respect as part of our core values. Claudia Sahm’s version of what transpired in her time at Equitable Growth is not based in fact.
As President and CEO of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, Heather Boushey is not involved in day-to-day management or programming. Heather was not Claudia’s supervisor, and Claudia’s former supervisor does not report to Heather.
With respect to the “Economics is a Disgrace” post on Claudia’s blog on July 29, Claudia’s supervisor reiterated in writing and verbally that she was free to post whatever she wished on her personal blog.
