ashley parker. while, as we said, there have been a lot of pressure, particularly last summer on justice breyer to consider retiring. at the same time joe biden was vice president when merrick garland never got a hearing. that continues to sting for democrats. how many conversations there have been had, how many preparations have been made in the eventuality that this might happen? >> reporter: going back to your original point, there was something fascinating where justice breyer was under tremendous pressure by progressives and liberal groups. sometimes getting furious with them for not retiring. president biden himself, they were pleszed a number of times and reluctant to weigh in. in part, that's because you have the dynamic of in what world can a president tell an 83-year-old justice your too old to do your job but now is the time to retire. it's a matter of respect. you saw that today. the only statement out of the white house so far has been by the press secretary who tweeted out that the decision of the supreme court justice to retire is theirs entirely. they choose when to do it, how to do it and

. >> ashley: okay, obviously people know community policing does work but there is an obvious issue between certain communities and the place, especially after what we saw in the summerotests and the riots and come of course, the incident with george floyd appeared so what -- it's going to take both sides coming together with this. what suggestions do you have the domain for the community and the police come together to make this work? >> we need to have more community meetings with the police. when i say community meetings, i don't mean just setting up a meeting as meeting at the police station. we are going to meet in a community hall. because what happens, people do not come out to the police station or the community hall to meet with the police. we have to have more community gatherings. the police coming to the community. maybe once a month, set up resources for mental health brochures and how to detect. that is how the police can sit and talk to the community. that will bring a community out. one way to bring them out, have food and drinks. this way you can engage with the community. once you can engage with them, you can get their opinion and get the opinion o

summer. as we got to the christmas, new year's holiday, you realize they have still not linked operations up with schedule planners quite well enough yet. ashleyey, double time, triple time, isn't really working. why do you think that is? >> well let's put it this way. you don't want sick people to come to work of course. so if you offer double or triple time, you have to be assuming at least some of the people who are calling in sick aren't really sick, meaning they could come in to work and accept that double pay. if everyone calling in truly is sick, or truly is, you know, tested positive for the virus, then it doesn't matter how much you pay them, they're probably not going to come back to work. so on the one hand they might have been betting on the fact that there were you know, people calling in that didn't really need to but maybe they're just are not that many of those people and it seems to me a good idea they tried that incentive and i'm sure it got a few more people back in but not as many as they needed. ashley: is there concern in the industry we're doing all these stories, all the media doing these stories every day it will reall
