What is the cost of not vaccinating everyone? My colleagues and I sought to find out what the total hit to the global economy of uneven vaccination distribution might be.

As a result of disruptions that businesses have faced during the pandemic, we have seen record-high unemployment and permanent business closures. Until the coronavirus is under control and we can return to our normal lives before the pandemic, the impact on our economy and […]

Our nation’s trucking industry and entire transportation network is dependent on a well-maintained infrastructure system to keep our goods moving and to ensure that America’s 3.6 million professional truck drivers can safely deliver to communities across the country. Unfortunately, our nation’s outdated infrastructure has been in decline for decades – adding needless congestion that hurts […]

As the political pendulum in Washington swings in a different direction, one thing remains the same: the commitment of the federal, state and local governments to safely and effectively distribute a COVID-19 vaccine to all of our residents. There is no question the initial vaccine rollout has had its challenges. But out of the challenge, […]

With the immensely challenging year of 2020 now in the rearview, all of us are looking ahead with a sense of hope and optimism for a better 2021.

After months of anticipation, we all watched the first trucks leave the Pfizer distribution center in Portage, Michigan transporting the coronavirus vaccine to all parts of the country in carefully packed and environmentally monitored boxes under U.S. Marshall escort.

Shortly before my book went to press, the polling group Ipsos came out with a survey tracking Americans’ feelings about press freedom. It showed that 26 percent of the respondents believed that the president should have the power to shut down press organizations that “engage in bad behavior.” No matter how you feel about the […]

From threats and attacks against journalists and newsrooms and restrictions placed on reporters, to anti-media rhetoric and a growing distrust of the media in the U.S., our right to free press is being threatened in new ways. The arrest of Omar Jimenez, a journalist and CNN correspondent, is an example of the ongoing threats to […]
