Register for Policy and a Pint: The Big Sort
Thursday, July 31
Doors 6:00 | Program 6:30 - 7:30
The UBS Forum at Minnesota Public Radio, St. Paul
Appetizers included
Join author Bill Bishop and moderator Steve Seel to talk about Bishop's book, The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart. Called "essential reading for activists, poli-sci types, journalists and trend-watchers" by Kirkus Reviews, the book examines how and why Americans are sorting themselves into neighborhoods filled with people just like them -- and what it means for politics in this contentious election season.
After the main event, come on over to Fuji-Ya (just down the block) for another Policy and a Pint after party.

The way we currently finance aging services in Minnesota is unsustainable, especially as people desire new and different options for care -- last year, Minnesota spent nearly $600 million in public funds for long term care, and we could spend $20 billion in state and federal dollars by 2050 if the status quo remains. Come to learn about Nebraska's new Long-Term Care Savings Plan and insights for Minnesota.
