4/10/20 Jeff Deist on the Economic Consequences of the Coronavirus
Jeff Deist discusses the political responses to the coronavirus, varying on a state-by-state level from complete lockdown to nearly complete normalcy. Deist says this is an example of federalism actually working, since beyond issuing recommendations and printing money, there isn't all that much the federal government can do to enforce policies across the entire country. Deist fears the negative economic ramifications of both the way the virus has shut down major parts of the economy and the government's response to the supposed crisis in the form of trillions of dollars in loans and...
4/10/20 Daniel Lazare on Coronavirus and the Military
Daniel Lazare talks about the grave danger facing the U.S. military of coronavirus sweeping through environments like infantry barracks, submarines, and aircraft carries with almost no possibility for social distancing and quarantine. Already the spread of the virus has clustered around military bases in the U.S. The same could happen at our bases in the Middle East, which is already one of the hardest hit regions in the world. Scott hopes that a silver lining of the virus will be a widespread move toward world peace, as countries realize both how cruel and how wasteful of much-needed...
4/10/20 Tommy Salmons on Life as a Trucker During Coronavirus
Scott interviews Tommy Salmons about what life is like for truck drivers these days. Salmons describes dealing with longer hours, different routes and products, deserted truck stops and empty roads.

Florida ER Doctor Loses Custody of Daughter Due to Coronavirus
What the hell is this, England? “I was just shocked that the judge would take this stance without talking to medical experts and knowing the facts and take it so lightly, take my child from me and not think of the effect on her, her mental and psychological well-being,” she said. Judge Bernard Shapiro is a criminal. May equivalent harm come to him.
David Stockman: Off The Charts!
From the Contracorner (paywall): It took 213 years and 43 presidents—-from George Washington to Dubya Bush—- to generate the first $6 trillion of public debt. Now a mad man in the Oval Office and a herd of Capitol Hill larcenists will be doing it in just 700 days. Actually, at the rate they are going we think it could be even worse. For instance, during the first six business days last April, Uncle Sam collected $87.5 billion in tax receipts, but this year during the same six days the take plummeted by 20% to just $70.1 billion; and that occurred before employer withholding payments were...
4/10/20 Christine Ahn on the Implications of Coronavirus on Peace in Korea
Christine Ahn talks about U.S. relations with North Korea in light of the global coronavirus outbreak. President Trump made what in Ahn's mind was a very good move when he offered to help North Korea in any way he can a few weeks ago. Some members of his administration, however, have continued to support a maximum pressure sanctions policy, which already hurts North Korean civilians and is bound to make things even worse during a serious public health crisis. The good news is that both North and South Korea support reunification, and South Korean President Moon Jae-in is an especially strong...
4/10/20 David Stockman on Coronavirus Hysteria and the Destruction of the US Economy
David Stockman pulls back the curtain on congress' recent multi-trillion dollar bailout package, which, although billed as emergency aid for individuals actually allocates most of the money to various special interests on both sides of the aisle, including millions for the Smithsonian, the Kennedy Center, Public Broadcasting and the Department of Education. Beyond the bailout, Stockman says this shutdown of almost the entire economy is a disastrous overreaction, given what he thinks is a hugely overblown level of danger from the virus itself. In New York State, the mortality rate is 70 times...
