A potentially positive trend is people may be able to choose smaller communities that offer a different lifestyle. Will small towns be able to take advantage of this? Thursday Thoughts for August 6:

Many more people are working at home now due to COVID. Lots of them (and employers) found it better in terms of happiness & productivity. But there's another group who suffered from the opposite effect. Thursday Thoughts: facebook.com/rick.snyder.35 #remotework #covid #productivity

Before the pandemic, I believed we needed a dramatic shift in our educational model to address today's world vs. the world of the 19th century. Making big structural changes makes even more sense now ow.ly/GENf50Abjps #education #teachers #students #lifelonglearning #rpa

I have informed the HKennedy Sch that I am turning down its offer as Snr Res Fellow. It would have been exciting to share my experiences, both positive and negative; our current political environment and its lack of civility makes this too disruptive. I wish them the best.

I am dialing back the RPA a bit today. The stories coming out about my state phone and computer are very sloppy and misleading. I gave my phone and all that stuff to the AG's office before I left office. Why the AG's office is executing a search warrant on itself I cannot say.
