It’s why, in response, Congress has prioritized shoring up unemployment insurance benefits.  But a handful of European countries have shown that mass unemployment isn’t a given in a situation like this. It’s a policy choice.   In this video, we explain how and why the UK, Denmark, and the Netherlands chose a different path. With the help of economist Heidi Shierholz of the Economic Policy Institute, we explore whether the US can still avoid millions of more job losses.

Although the automotive industry seems like it’s slowly making a shift towards battery-powered vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles could be another great alternative to gas-powered cars. Despite Elon Musk calling them “mind-bogglingly stupid, the majority of automotive executives believe hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be the catalyst for the shift from gas-powered cars. Tesla’s dominance in the zero-emissions market may not mean as much if consumers see the benefits fuel cell vehicles can offer. Maybe hydrogen cars can be future proof also.
