San Francisco Mayor London Breed released a fiscal plan this week that would divert $120 million from the city’s law enforcement funding to an initiative to help Black communities. The plan, known as The Dream Keeper Initiative, will use the funds over the next two years to invest in youth development, guaranteed income, business support, a city employment pipeline, training and homeownership, amongst other initiatives . "We know that to actually see true lasting change we need to focus on helping entire families -- from early education for kids, to job training and workforce support for their parents, and serve communities that have been systematically harmed by past policies," Breed said in a statement Thursday.

UK becomes first country to authorize Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine, first shots roll out next week
London (CNN) The United Kingdom has become the first Western nation to authorize a Covid-19 vaccine , a landmark moment in the coronavirus pandemic that paves the way for the first doses to be rolled out across the country next week. "Help is on the way," Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced Wednesday morning, after UK regulators granted emergency authorization for a vaccine made by US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech. A final analysis of the Phase 3 trial of the vaccine shows it was 95% effective in preventing infections , even in older adults, and caused no serious safety concerns, Pfizer said last month. The announcement means the UK has vaulted past the United States and European Union in the race to approve a vaccine, months into a pandemic that has killed almost 1.5 million people worldwide. "We believe it is really the start of the end of the pandemic," BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin told CNN in an exclusive interview on Wednesday. … [Read more...] about UK becomes first country to authorize Pfizer/BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine, first shots roll out next week
Charles Hurt: Revealed: The Answer to The Pandemic Is the American Individual
Our year of Wuhan. We have endured unspeakable hardships and pain. We have seen the very best in people. We have seen the worst in people. All of our successes — even our very survival — have come from the wise humanity of individuals looking out for one another. Family, neighbors, parents, nurses, roommates, doctors, and complete strangers displaying heroic kindness and compassion in a sea of real agony and crazed hysteria. The selfless sacrifice of the individual has been the lone beacon of hope throughout even the darkest moments of this storm. The failures, meanwhile, have been every bit as startling. And they are everywhere. Our government — and every institution established by our government to protect us — failed at every step of the way. Federal agencies that exist only to protect Americans from these very public health risks failed to detect the virus before it reached our shores. Then they ignored early signs of just how devastating it could be. And even once … [Read more...] about Charles Hurt: Revealed: The Answer to The Pandemic Is the American Individual
No bribes or cities named “Amazon”: Colorado’s pitch to get the next headquarters touts incentives that could exceed $100M
There were no promises to create a Colorado city called Amazon. There were no bribes from the state like the 21-foot cactus an Arizona city sent to get the massive retailer to build a second headquarters there. And there was no way Colorado was going to touch one state’s lavish offer of $7 billion in public incentives. Colorado, which doesn’t plan to ask taxpayers for more funding to lure Amazon, on Wednesday submitted a more subdued proposal that state officials hope will attract a new employer and bring up to 50,000 jobs to the Denver region. The state emailed the official bid a day before Amazon’s deadline, as well as mailed five paper copies overnight to the Seattle retailer’s headquarters. “Colorado’s proposal does not lead with incentives. It leads with talent,” said Sam Bailey, who led the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. in working with the state to submit the official bid. “Ultimately, 50,000 jobs shouldn’t be led with incentives but a community that has the … [Read more...] about No bribes or cities named “Amazon”: Colorado’s pitch to get the next headquarters touts incentives that could exceed $100M
Deja vu? In preparing Amazon bid, Colorado officials learn from failed effort to lure Boeing
Denver has been here before, with a Seattle-based corporate behemoth considering a move that could bring many high-paying jobs to the region. Remember Boeing Corp.? Denver came in third behind Chicago and Dallas to lure the aerospace company’s headquarters despite offering a $15 million incentive package. This time it’s Amazon, which announced last week it is looking for a city for a second headquarters campus. Though the online retailer is looking nationwide, a potential bid from Colorado gained buzz as The New York Times picked Denver as the leader among 52 cities in its own analysis. “It’s like being chosen the Super Bowl winner before the season starts. You kind of put a target on your back,” joked veteran Denver developer Bill Mosher. Still, Mosher, who has worked in commercial real estate for more than 30 years, said he believes Denver has a good shot. “I think Denver and all the growth that’s been taking place here — and the metrics The New York Times utilized — … [Read more...] about Deja vu?
