“A Family Conversation” is a storytelling audio series that features weekly discussions between blogging cousins LadyG and Ron Brown on current events along with favorite posts from each other’s blog.
*********************************************************************
In today’s conversation, we use my post “Pandemic: The Winds of Change” as a conversation starter on who’s making money during this time (and prior) as well as who is NOT…and hasn’t been for a LONG time.
Listen in as we discuss:
- The importance of NOT “panicking”….. the stock market
- How a pandemic is fruitful for a select few
- Crazy logic when it comes to holding Trump accountable
- The fact that most of us are “fans” on the sidelines
- Reaganomics and how it stunted our growth
- Benefits for American workers vs. workers in other countries
- In the audio, I meant to say that you must be laid off and actively seeking a job… not fired
- Our refusal to be guinea pigs for a fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine
- The Scientific Method/Listening to Scientists
- Normal + Coronavirus = ?
Tune back in next Wednesday for Part 3
