The economics of COVID19 is tonight’s topic, including the latest on the debate over the re-opening the economy. The panel explores the tension between defiance of the say-in-place orders and the fear of disease that will keep the economy shut down regardless of any governmental action. What does freedom mean in the context of a health care crisis? Are protestors carrying assault rifles making a profound argument about civil liberties, or are they just whining because they can’t go to McDonalds? The pod concludes with a wide-ranging discussion about specific parts of the economy.
