Part 2 - Eric Akerson calls in from VITEMA’s St. Thomas office to confirm sandbag distribution sites across the Territory and the new COVID-19 procedure in place for residential pickup today, Thursday, August 13th and Tuesday, August 18th. Regular contributor, Senator Ronald Russell, joins Neville James to touch on the concerning spike coming out of St. Thomas and provide his take on re-accessing the capital market, balancing his desire for the Territory to become solvent with the risks associated in engaging in the bond market, adding that the infusion of federal pandemic dollars may be providing a false sense of security. The conversation shifts to analyze the activity of the market and how wealth distribution has changed during the pandemic, Trump’s approach to economic recovery, the withering of his base, the trend of red states “turning purple” and the Black Lives Matter movement.
