at fou' a newarin county residents starting today vaccinated people in those counties no longer have to wear their masks in certain indoor settings. this includes offices gyms indoor college classes and organize indoor settings like a religious. gathering as long as there are no more than a hundred people
4:40 pm
and they can verify that everyone there has been vaccin. contra costa county will adopt a similar policy november 1st. what do you think dan? well, i think it's a great ever hit these milestones. it's great to be in this place once again, and i think what's comforting about it. we always worry that we'll take a step backwards again, but with vaccine rates going up booster shots available. it seems like we really are coming out of the woods in a very real way. of course, it's always a challenge to police these things and it puts a lot of burden on these venues to keep track of who's vaccinated and how many people are there and all that. yeah. what about sandia if you're going into a place, would you be more comfortable, you know if it's you know mask optional now or still requiring it as a business which they can do. absolutely. i'm with dan. i mean, i think that if there's a high rate of vaccination which we've already seen in marin county san francisco county, i think it's okay as long as everyone's vaccinated.
4:41 pm
i feel like it's time to start moving towards as much normalcy as we possibly can because i'm sure with flu season around the corner things might change. so we just have to move forward baby steps we've been taking very big steps like the smallest baby around steps. anyway, a texas school district is apologizing after an official told teachers if they have a book on the holocaust they needed to include opposing. perspectives this came up during a training session as officials went over with teachers how to handle a new state law that requires them to provide multiple perspectives when discussing controversial issues teachers that expressed frustration and confusion over these new guidelines when the school official brought up the holocaust a teacher responded quote. how do you oppose the holocaust? i mean, there are some people who think it was a hoax clearly owvereal good. he no idea
4:42 pm
what is happening state anymore. i boionssue. they basically let anybody get a gun. no permitting. no, i mean and now you have this sort of thing going on in the schools. yeah. i i would just like to point. i mean at least the superintendent has apologized, you know, the school board member did say that i should never get to that point and and you know, i watched the control were secretly recorded or released audio of that. it was one person one administrator saying something that was clearly either just not thought out did really realize what she was saying or just plain stupid and ignorant. i mean, it's just a ridiculous perspective to take without common sense, but it is just one person there and it's as christian points out at least they sort of apologize quickly, you know, just hurtful institute. yeah, because there's no opposing view unless you want to get into the holocaust denier. yeah, that's another like come on. those people are right. it's in foil hats out if i go
4:43 pm
there but this is kind of part of a broader trend, you know, so that part we got to keep an eye on. okay, what topics are taboo to you according to a new survey? wait is the most controversial topic but debt is right up there too bank rate found that 59% gen z respondents in 62% of millennials believe. it's okay to talk about that but the older you get the less people want to discuss their money problems only 51% of gen xers 47% of boomers and 41% of the silent generation said they were willing to talk about the subject. so what topics are off limits to you boy around here. i feel like it's i mean not maybe not here but across the country, it feels like it's like, you know mandates. what do you think sandhya? die way, i mean does that have i don't know. what do you think larry? well, that was a quick response. i thought are you were you volunteering the number or i thought that was a question that i was supposed to answer. i'm asking you what's taboo as
4:44 pm
far as what's taboo for me is dan's frequent vacation? oh, that's a subject that affects me directly. so that's that's a taboo topic around here, but i don't know people. get very secretive about money issues and that's understandable. i mean i've had family members kind of, you know back away from the table when you start that conversation because i don't know if they're really loaded or if they're broke and it's true. the older folks tend to be my mother's generation parents generation even more weird about discussing money for me. i don't really have any i was going to joke and say the topic talking about what topic is off limits is my off limits topic i would say in this day and age politics with people just you know, don't give it. don't mix it up too much if people start to get into a food fight and half people get you get emotional about it. it's age. we're okay with that, right? yes. okay. just want to know ask me
4:45 pm
