In a world where international tensions rhythms of economic activity, we need multidisciplinarity.
A REPLACABLE CANDIDATE ? The situation is extremely complicated for the Democrats. It would be wiser for President Biden to withdraw. For sure, the tensions of the campaign will only worsen his mental state and his health. But on the other hand, it's far too late for a resignation. The fact is, it would send a very bad signal to the President's supporters that he would be considered "REPLACABLE"! It would be worse than losing the elections. To run for such a mandate should not imply that, in the final analysis, Democratic candidates are pawns who can easily be replaced. However, the former President Trump will take no glory in facing such a diminished candidate. On the contrary, it could do him a disservice. Only a debate with a real opponent like Robert F. Kennedy Jr will benefit Mr. Trump. A real debate of ideas, on the concerns of Americans: projects to reduce poverty and inequality, health care, education, security of the populations. Reviving the economy and preserving our ecosystems. Restoring the USA's reputation in the world.
Should this be taken seriously or dismissed as another gaffe? Last night at the White House, during a celebration marking 248 years of independence, President Biden mistakenly said he is “the first black woman to serve with a black president.”

I finished Legacy by Uché Blackstock, MD. I recently read the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, the story of which I knew from my MPH, and am next reading the Color of Law about how our government segregated America. All of this is covered in Legacy, with stories I won’t soon forget and statistics that infuriate me and motivate me to be a part of challenging and changing our systems. One piece I love from this book is the shift from Black Americans mistrust of the medical system (institutional distrust) to how we have created a system of untrustworthiness (institutional untrustworthiness). Let’s put the blame where it belongs. “Living in this country has essentially made Black Americans sick.” Highly recommend this book to anyone!!! There are also specifics calls to action in the last chapter.
