9am-5pm, 5 days a week. That's how the majority of people spend their lives working. With this method "working" for so long, it's no wonder that there’s not much call for change. After all, “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”. But some would argue that it is “broke” we just might not realize it. With that, the proposal of working 10 hours a day, 4 days a week, rather than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week has been brought up. This all begs the question; is the extra day off worth the two extra hours a day or is the way we’ve been doing it for so long the best way.

The Opioid Crisis is an epidemic that has been grasping Americans by the throat. Opioids are used for medicinal purposes, but are widely abused across the nation. Many opioids are used for people with severe pain. Although opioids have side effects, such as addiction and death, they are wonderful asset to those in agonizing pain. They help those who are injured, recovering, have just been through surgery, and intractable pain. The problems is once they start using them, it is very difficult to stop. Opioids are highly addictive and can be fatal. For instance, opioid overdoses have increased from 8,048 deaths in 1999 to roughly 47,600 deaths in 2017. Opioids can be very helpful to the people who need it, but a major burden and issue for those who don’t. Should prescription opioids continue to be legal in the United States, or is the death toll too much?
The presidency of the United States has always stood as a position of leadership, someone who has communication, integrity, accountability, empathy, humility, vision, influence, positivity, delegation, confidence. As we look back on our presidents we remember Washington for his courage, Jefferson for his equality, Lincoln for his empathy, and Theodore Roosevelt for his drive. All of these great leaders have accomplished tremendous good for our country. Leaders, however, and men with hearts for goodness are not the same thing, Adolf Hitler is also known for being one of the greatest leaders and the worst human of the 20th century. As of a couple of weeks ago President Joe Biden gave his first address to Congress. Stating what he wants done and what he has done in the last one hundred days. Before this address and especially after he has been under strenuous ridicule and has been seen as an incapable leader. Does President Joe Biden have good qualities and has his old age influenced these qualities.
