A discussion with Annie Lowrey on delivering more time for families in America
Americans are stuck in a paperwork bureaucracy that wastes hours of precious time. Nearly three in four parents of young children told the New Practice Lab they want more quality time聽with their kids鈥攚hich means fixing this bureaucracy isn鈥檛 a nice-to-have, it鈥檚 necessary for families to live the lives they want.
In her new book,聽, journalist Annie Lowrey traces how paperwork, red tape, and administrative burden became a hidden cost 鈥 one that falls hardest on families, low-income individuals, and anyone simply trying to access the benefits and rights they鈥檙e owed.
Join the New Practice Lab for a fireside chat with Lowrey, mid-day on Wednesday, August 26 at 麻豆果冻传媒 in Washington, DC, as she unpacks how the 鈥渢ime tax鈥 was built, why it persists, and what fixing it could look like. An open Q&A with the audience will follow.
Lowrey’s book will be available for purchase at the event.
