Ahead Of The Holiday Weekend, What’s The Latest On The Debt Ceiling Negotiations? | LAist – NPR News for Southern California

What’s in store for the debt ceiling negotiations ahead of the bank holiday weekend?

House Republicans nailed debt-ceiling negotiations on Thursday, showing risky political bravery as they left town for the holiday weekend, just days before the US could face an unprecedented default that would throw the global economy into chaos falls. Inside the Capitol, in discussions with President Joe Biden’s team trying to work out a budget agreement, Speaker Kevin McCarthy said “every hour counts.” As a price for raising the statutory debt limit, Republicans are demanding spending cuts that Democrats oppose. The White House said talks with Republicans had been productive, although serious disagreements continued as the president fought over his priorities. MPs are not expected to return to work until Tuesday, just two days after June 1, when Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the US could run out of money to pay its bills and face a sovereign default. The Senate is on hiatus until after Memorial Day. Weeks of negotiations between the Republicans and the White House did not lead to an agreement.

Is Gen Z pathologizing their feelings too much – and what might that mean for mental health in the long term?

Gen Z, currently between the ages of 11 and 26, are much more open to talking about mental health than previous generations. But some wonder if the younger generation pathologizes feelings too much. In a recent editorial in the Los Angeles Times entitled “What Gen Z teenagers like me are doing wrong when it comes to their mental healthHis teenager Zach Gottlieb expresses his concerns about this. The son of psychologist and regular AirTalk guest Lori Gottlieb, Gottlieb explains in his article that he was taught to manage uncomfortable feelings rather than avoid them. “In my home, discomfort was not only okay, it was encouraged,” he writes. Zach Gottlieb, Founder of the online platform Talk to Zacha space where Generation Z can connectt, joins AirTalk to discuss the article, the various challenges faced by youth and young adults, and how to create a more emotionally resilient generation.
