wear masks, you know, reduce gathering, things like that, being asked to continue to take these steps with my own children and then asking other families if they don t have that option, so these children don t have the right to a safe education, you know, a lot of parents don t have child care options. so that s just false. and we know that masking has to be done on both sides in order to keep people safe. and so he does not have a right to infect my children or any of the other children in the state. the science is there and he s refusing to follow the science, and he s almost making a mockery of this and making a joke of it. and it s not a joke. he s thinking very black and white terms where this is impacting all the systems within our state, from the economy to
senator trent garner who is the author of the bill that turned into this act said, he says, basically people are not prevented from wearing masks. it s their personal choice. he said if you want to send your child there with two masks on, if you want to get your child vaccinated, if you want to do remote learning, all of that is on the table for parents. what do you say to him? that s not true. it s false and, you know, i think that trent garner might just live kind of in a different environment than a lot of families. we have a really high rate of poverty in the state of arkansas. we have poor access to health care. we right now don t have a lot of, you know, child care options. so just telling parents, just keep your kids home, i ve been keeping my kid home since march of 2020. it s time for the people that don t want to do the things that they need to do to end this pandemic, like get vaccinated,

misalignment in the product markets, lumber, auto, semi-conductors. and we see those misalignments in the job market. however, as the barriers between people and their job start to come down, more vaccinations for working age people, schools safely reopening childcare options becoming online. we are going to see those barriers come down and i believe we will see that misalignment we diminish we. the vaccinations, not feeling unsafe about work, the fact the president did say today he s fine the expiration of these you i supplementary benefits around labor day you are still left with something you, mentioned childcare. we have never been uniquely good at that as far as you compared to the western world. we ve spoken about this many times. world.how is childcare going toe different for those still takeaway benefits, worried about going back to work because they don t know that s going to look like with their kids. what s different when we come by labor day? an important question and i
