Adam Levine is not giving up a great deal about reports that Maroon 5 will be performing at the next Super Bowl halftime show."I'm still formulating a lot of things," he told Variety in a recent interview.Reaction had been mixed to early reports the group would headline the halftime show.The NFL has not officially confirmed the entertainment lineup for the next Super Bowl."It's a Super Bowl tradition to speculate about the performers for the Pepsi Halftime Show," a league rep said in a statement earlier this fall. "We are continuing to work with (longtime sponsor) Pepsi on our plans but do not have any announcements to make on what will be another epic show."Levine was more open with the publication about getting superstar rapper Cardi B to record a verse on the hit Maroon 5 single, "Girls Like You.""I told Cardi, 'I want you to put something down that shows your fierceness as a woman and say it however you want,'" Levine said. "I knew she was going to murder this verse and bring the song to a whole new place. She was vital. I begged her to do it." 1077

After running a year-long competition that drew interest from hundreds of cities and a number of states, Amazon has chosen New York City and Northern Virginia to split duty as its second headquarters.On Tuesday, Amazon announced it has chosen New York's Long Island City and Virginia's Arlington for HQ2.The development projects promise to bring the cities a giant infusion of high-paying jobs and tax revenue, but are almost certain to draw fire from critics concerned about their impact on infrastructure and property values.The search began in September 2017 when Seattle-based Amazon announced it would start accepting proposals for what quickly became known as HQ2.During the process, Amazon narrowed 238 bids to 20 finalists. The potential cities were Atlanta; Austin; Boston; Chicago; Columbus, Ohio; Dallas; Denver; Indianapolis; Los Angeles; Miami; Montgomery County, Maryland; Nashville; Newark; New York City; Northern Virginia; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Raleigh; Toronto and Washington, D.C. 1016

According to a study published by UCLA's Anderson School of Management, the COVID-19 pandemic has put the U.S. economy into a "depression" and projects that the country's GDP won't return to pre-pandemic levels until early 2023.The study was published by David Shulman of UCLA's Anderson Forecast — a research firm at the school that publishes a quarterly outlook on the U.S. economy."Make no mistake, the public health crisis of the pandemic morphed into a depression-like crisis in the economy," Schulman wrote. "To call this crisis a recession is a misnomer."The report says that despite a drastic response from both the Trump Administration and the Federal Resevre, it will take years for both employment levels and GDP to return to were it was before COVID-19 reached America."Simply put, despite the Paycheck Protection Program too many small businesses will fail and millions of jobs in restaurants and personal service firms will disappear in the short-run," the report reads. "We believe that even with the availability of a vaccine it will take time for consumers to return to normal. (It took more than two years after 9/11 for air travel to return to its prior peak.) With businesses taking on a huge amount of debt, repayment of that debt will take a priority over new capital spending. And do not forget that state and local budgets suffered a revenue collapse that even with federal assistance it will take years to recover from."The U.S. lost 22 million non-farming jobs in the early months of the pandemic, the report says. The report does offer at least one bright spot: the housing market. The report mentions that despite high unemployment rates, "consumer demand remains strong" and that markets will return to pre-pandemic levels fairly soon.Finally, the report projects that the pandemic will accelerate some trends that were already in motion, particularly the growth of online retail, telecommuting and rising tensions between the U.S. and China. 1980

After the death of George Floyd, cries to defund the police in Minneapolis assumed center stage. But one non-profit there has been working for years to abolish the department: MPD 150.“We didn’t think this moment would be here this soon,” said Peter Vankoughnett, a member of the group.MPD 150 was formed several years ago, and the members took a look at the history of the Minneapolis Police Department, its influence on the community and efforts at reform since the department started more than 150 years ago.Vankoughnett said the goal of the group has been and still remains, “to change the narrative around policing from reform minded to abolitionist minded.”In the group’s performance review, moments in history, like the 1934 Teamsters Strike where officers opened fire on unarmed strikers, killing two people and injuring 67, and the civil unrest in the streets in 1967 were referenced as points where the department overstepped in their interactions with the community.“There’s never been a point in the police department where there hasn’t been large amounts of race and class based violence,” said Vankoughnett.Their findings also document the department’s influence on the community and its lack of oversight. Since 1963, five separate oversight committees have formed to monitor ethics within the department, only to be dissolved. The non-profit reports few committees have seen more than 10 percent of all complaints result in disciplinary action for officers.“From the beginning, the committees were designed where they don’t have real power, they can only make recommendations, or they’re stacked with police officials,” said Vankoughnett.Seeing the past and living through today’s unrest, MPD 150 began losing faith in reform and planning for a police-free future.“Not that everyone here is in favor of it, but now, everybody has to talk about it,” said Vankoughnett.That conversation was catapulted into the mainstream by the death of George Floyd, and as the Minneapolis Police Department’s third precinct was set on fire by protestors, calling for change, the Minneapolis City Council listened, pledging to dismantle the department.So, how can we live in a world where police aren’t on the streets? MPD 150 says there’s a way to make that happen, starting with prevention.Vankoughnett said that means diverting money from the police to community resources.“It’s about underlying causes,” he said. “A lot of violence might come from unemployment—it’s happening right now you can see it in this city. So putting money into employment, into drug treatment are all principles of abolition,” Vankoughnett said.It also means diverting 911 calls to the right responder, not having zero responders. “We’re not trying to make it so there’s nobody to call, we’re trying to figure out who you can actually call that will do a better job than the police department would do,” said Vankoughnett.The Minneapolis Police Chief, Medaria Arrandondo, said in a press conference he has no plan to leave this city without a fight for reform first—even with the issues the department has faced.He outlined several reforms including using new technology to monitor officers in real time, hoping to catch disciplinary issues before dangerous situations ensue.Holding just as tightly to a new vision for the future: the community this department serves. A police-free city may take years, but Vankoughnett believes it will come.“I hope we’re able to able to look back at these few years as a revolution in history. That we’re able to step away from these old models of policing, and I think this could be the place where that happens,” said Vankoughnett.If you’d like to know more about MPD 150’s performance review, click HERE.For other alternatives to policing as it currently stands, here is a LIST of MPD 150’s detailed ideas to move forward. 3848
