I don't know any other approach right now.

I just, I don't assess your risk, control what you can control.

That's what we're doing right now.

I think that the vaccine was an important phase of COVID, but what it did is move us past

the point where we're like doing something together if we ever were, right?

But because there's just all these different groups, it changes things and it makes it hard

to sort of speak with one voice anymore.

This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

Well, I mean, thank you so much for joining us for a new episode today.

We're going to have our last current events episode of the year.

We'll have new episodes for you for the next two weeks, but we pre-recorded those.

It's a lot of retrospection, introspection, looking ahead.

We wanted to let our entire team spend time with family during the holidays.

So we think you're going to love those episodes.

They'll be in your feet as normal, but today will be our last look at current events.

So we're going to do a lightning round.

We're going to take a tour through lots of topics.

All the things that are pulling at our attention.

Since we're covering a lot of ground, make sure to check our show notes.

We have picked some articles that we think are worth your time to better understand some

of the big stories that we're talking about.
