On Point

  • Monday, September 11: Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution bars from office any public official involved in an insurrection. Some legal thinkers – including some leading conservative ones – argue that applies to Donald Trump. But can legal reasoning withstand political reality when it comes to the former president and leading GOP contender?
  • Tuesday, September 12: It’s estimated that 300 million jobs worldwide could be lost to Artificial Intelligence in the near future. That could involve a massive dislocation of people losing their ability to make ends meet, and their sense of purpose. How do we prepare for that future? People need a sense of security. Maybe Universal Basic Income willI be part of the answer. Meghna turns to one of her favorite sci-fi series to help explore that.
  • Wednesday, September 13: At the end of the month – millions of pandemic dollars that were earmarked for childcare will expire. Consequently, providers might be forced to raise tuition for parents, take fewer kids or even close their doors. What will this funding disruption mean for an already hurting industry?
