Coming to you from their undisclosed bunker for the second week in a row, Eric and Joe try to take seriously the conversation no one seems to want to have: what are the actual trade-offs between the public health measures we’re implementing and the human toll those choices are taking on people’s economic wellbeing? There’s still a presidential election going on. What happens when everyone’s sworn in to office in January 2021 and they discover they can’t do any of their big plans because we have no more money? Speaking of that, Congress is ready to spend $2.2 trillion on Coronavirus relief. If we’re going to do this, why are we means-testing it? Does anyone really care of Jeff Bezos gets a check as long as people who really need one do, too? It’s all quiet on the streets of Chicago as everyone shelters in place. For those used to life in the city, that’s incredibly unnerving. And finally, Supreme Oreos are selling for as much as $1,200 on eBay. So now you have something to do with your Covid-19 relief check.
