Students Turning to Social In the Wake of School Shootings
In the wake of the Douglas School shooting students have been leading conversations and movements around the country. Many of those students are turning towards platforms like "Islands," to start conversations and share stories.
Greg Isenberg is the CEO and Founder of Islands. He joins Cheddar to explain how the students at the 15 schools where it is available are using Islands to communicate in the wake of the most recent school shooting.
Groups are interested in communicating about the shooting and about their personal opinions and beliefs. Isenberg notes that he was impressed by the level of engagement and level of civil engagement.
The global semiconductor shortage is actively hurting numerous industries, with the auto industry itself on pace to lose $210 billion by the end of the year. Brad Wimmer, EVP at Auto Lenders, joined Cheddar to discuss a White House meeting surrounding chip shortages and how industries can find a way to move forward. He noted that the end of the shortage is unlikely if the U.S. continues to depend on outside manufacturers. "We need consistent momentum and clarity, and we do not have that right now," Wimmer said. "So, I think this is going to continue into 2023."
