Wall Street & #MeToo; Cashless; NYC Birthing Centers; American 'Tribes'

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 6, 2018

Coming up:

  • Bloomberg reporters Katia Porzecanski and Gillian Tan discuss their reporting on how the #MeToo movement has made men who work on Wall Street feel like they need to adjust their behavior to avoid women, so they aren't accused of (or don't commit) any wrongdoing.
  • New York City Council Member Ritchie Torres (15th District - Bronx) and Alexa Tsoulis-Reay, reporter for New York Magazine's Grub Street, talk about issues surrounding going cashless and CM Torres' proposed legislation to prohibit businesses from only accepting credit and debit cards.
  • Journalist Julie Satow discusses her reporting on the closing of the Mt. Sinai birthing center and why New York lags so far behind when it comes to providing safe and healthy natural birth care.
  • More in Common researchers Míriam Juan-Torres and Daniel Yudkin review the findings in their new report "Hidden Tribes" that shows Americans are divided into seven separate tribes with their own beliefs and norms, but most still think we can find common ground.
