3/19 Political Gamesmanship & the Pandemic Bailout w/ MR Crew

March 19, 2020

Sam takes over Thursday to discuss the state of the Covid19 pandemic and the government’s response. Sam opens the show with Plugs and Notices from listeners and experts on causes and research most relevant to the on-going Covid19 pandemic. You can send your plugs or notices to reporters@majority.fm, and Sam will share them on an upcoming episode.

On today’s show, Sam tackles how the bailout and Congress should allocate funds to industries like airlines and direct cash transfers to workers. The political gamesmanship between the White House and Congressional Democrats has not played out as the Democratic establishment hoped.

Sam and the team are working out technical difficulties as we move forward amidst the Shelter in Place Majority Report. Thank you for your support!
