This will have a major impact on African-Americans and we go In Depth into why.Moderna is now asking the FDA to approve its COVID vaccine for the youngest of kids. But will many parents line up their little ones for shots? College graduates are putting their knowledge to use as they're leading the charge to form unions among the working class.  President Biden is now asking Congress for 33 billion dollars in aid to help Ukraine right Russia. The money won't last long so we go In Depth into what happens if the war doesn't end. A new government report shows how Medicare Advantage plans are denying care that they should be covering for thousands of people. Working from home might be great for many people but when it comes to brainstorming with co-workers it might slow down the creative side.
