Gary, Lyn and Dee discuss current events and politics. We discuss a number of topics this week. We start with the impact of climate change on business. We discuss the recent Supreme Court decision to short change workers, again. Their decision on class action lawsuits and arbitration was just horrendous. Thanks Mitch McConnell for stealing Merrick Garland’s seat. What about that classified intelligence briefing that Trump’s lawyer attended? We discuss the changes to SNAP benefits. Goldman Sach’s is worried about the future of the US economy. Our debt is growing much faster than our GDP. Is the Korean Summit on, is it off? Either way, we’ve wasted a lot of money on commemorative coins! We discuss the work hours of a medieval peasant vs. the work hours of the modern American. We discuss the repercussions of bringing the Mexico City policy to the US. (Basically, we’re going to have a lot of people dying of disease and unsafe abortion practices.) We discuss the historic win of Stacey Abrams, who will be the democratic nominee. In more good news, we discuss the Harvard alumni book being published to coincide with one infamous administration’s 15th anniversary of graduation there.
