In a recent interview, she used a "debris" metaphor to describe the state of the country at the end of the current administration, warning that things may get worse before they get better. Her rhetoric focuses on the loss of trust in systems and the need to rebuild without "nostalgia" for the status quo.

Jamie McGregor, CEO of McGregor Metal, expressed a desire for more Haitian workers, citing their reliability compared to the local workforce impacted by the opioid crisis.

Concerns are raised that such a system would eventually link personal identification with vaccination status and AI monitoring.
