This is a panel discussion: Rethink the Week
We discuss the following topics:
-Trump scored a delay victory in the SCOTUS ruling regarding his eligibility to be on the ballot. The "immunity" case is still pending.
SCOTUS has proven to be contemptuous of the rule of law, and democracy.
-We discuss how Mitch McConnell has corrupted SCOTUS by his maneuvering. Democrats are reluctant to "play hardball" to push back. One way would be to 'unpack the court' by removing the criminals from the bench (for crimes committed before and after accession)
-We discuss the economy, and whom it currently favors: 90% of productive assets are in the hands of capital (owners). The returns/profits have been higher to owners than to labor.
-The essential role of immigrants in the US economy.
-The improvement of most lives during the pandemic, primarily because of social programs' expansion, such as health care, food support, family support. The effect of the cancellation/suspension of these on ordinary lives.
