So let's invest, let's reallocate, let's build better roads and schools and bridges and safety systems.
And in that sense, I did find a lot of encouragement in the New York election because I did think that people were saying, look, let's create infrastructure that's going to work for people.
I know my own feelings about the promise of health care reform in New York were very great about addressing inequalities.
But I also think there's a caveat, which is that we're all part of the same kind of media cycles that push the extremes and try to marginalize or silence the center.
And so my research really shows the importance of people coming together in common cause.
and really trying to figure out how government can work.
So I, like you, I'm very hopeful for New York.
I hope that things change.
And again, I think there's always gonna be this kind of tension between fixing things for the most people and seeing government work, which I think is a great model for the US and for the world, but also resisting that everything is somebody else's fault.
I mean, for people who know my work, I really try to resist
stereotyping any group of people and try to say like, let's understand people's drives and motivations so that we can see who's an enemy and who is willing to collaborate with us in ways that we might not expect.
It's my honor.
Thank you very much.
It's not surprising to me that given the increasing availability of guns and the fact that we have so many mass shootings in this country, that we're, I think, going to increasingly see different kinds of people commit these kinds of shootings and other shootings.
