EW rolls through a cause and effect cycle in the first half of the interview....based on "masks" and misinformation.
Anyhow
Something that is interesting to me at least is pulling on the string that we don't MAKE anything here any longer. Thus the impact of "stay at home" and "non-essential" really strikes hard because we have become a service-industry or hospitality industry society. We don't build/make...we just consume. So the path that we have gone down is one where the corporate bottom line and the company leadership being beholding to stock-holders and boards has superseded the focus on whether or note outsourcing or moving overseas is good/bad for America. Well, that has come back home to roost.
It's a good long-format interview for those who have interest.
