The yawning gap between the mobility of white children and Black children growing up in low-income families has narrowed sharply, according to a major new study released today, based on tens of millions of anonymized census and tax records. Yet the findings are not entirely comforting. Inequality narrowed not just because poor Black kids have grown up to earn more as adults but also because poor white kids are earning less.

Republicans are warning their colleagues to back off using diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) politics to attack Vice President Harris as she launches her presidential bid.

The GOP has had to quickly revamp its attacks in the days since President Biden withdrew from the 2024 race and Democrats coalesced around Harris as his replacement — and some members have taken swipes over her race and gender in arguing she is unqualified.

The Left gets in high dudgeon every time someone calls Vice President Kamala Harris a diversity, equity, and inclusion hire. Joe Scarborough, whose morning show on MSNBC sets the agenda for the wokeati, railed that it was racist — right before his guest, Katty Kay, called former President Donald Trump “old, white, and male.” 

But none of these truths should offend supporters of either candidate.

Trump is 78, white, and famously male.

There is a raging debate in corporate America on the future of DEI, aka Diversity ­Equity and Inclusion, because it is literally destroying businesses that go there.

And yet the American public may soon be subjected to DEI writ large in the next president of the United States, if Kamala Harris finds her way to the top of the Democratic ticket while Joe Biden wilts away as the party’s presidential nominee after his horrific ­debate performance. 

Ever since speculation began that Vice President Kamala Harris might replace President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, there has been a steady, ugly chorus on the right. The New York Post published a column that declared that Harris would be a “D.E.I. president,” and quickly the phrase ricocheted across the conservative media ecosystem.

The travel industry is in the midst of another hot summer as Americans hit the road and make for the airport to take advantage of slightly cheaper flights and gas. But the 2024 vacation outlook isn’t all sunny: Like the rest of the American consumer experience this year, it is sharply divided.

Many low-income urban areas in the United States have a pressing need for trees. With about half as much tree canopy coverage as their affluent counterparts have, these areas face a host of risks, such as air pollution, poor water quality, and dangerously high heat.

But government tree-planting programs meant to close this gap can face resistance from the very communities they intend to help. The resistance, research shows, is tied not only to residents’ lack of means to maintain trees but also to distrust. 

Bill Rigdon, CEO of Building Consensus Inc., a company specializing in building security, has always been in high demand among elite clients, namely celebrities and those of considerable wealth and power. 

But over the past few months, business has been particularly booming, Rigdon told FOX Business. The uptick in business is being attributed to growing apprehensions around the civil unrest unfolding across the country as well as uncertainty over the upcoming election, Rigdon explained.

There is a significant amount of discussion around bias in the workplace, and rightfully so, as 39 percent of employees report experiencing frequent biases in their work environment. Interestingly, alongside these conversations surrounding workplace bias, there exists a set of commonly-held biases about bias itself.

This article breaks down six examples of these biases about bias.

1. All biases are bad

Sen. Joe Manchin isn’t sharing any regrets about letting his party’s expansion of the Child Tax Credit lapse, even after a historic spike in youth poverty last year.

According to Census data released on Tuesday, the share of Americans under 18 living below the poverty line jumped from 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% in 2022 as the Biden administration’s bulked-up credit expired, the biggest annual increase on record.
