"America is at a Breaking Point": Reich At Home, The Issues, Hang In There, 3 Mos. To Vote



Reich discusses current topics & answers viewers' questions: US mismanagement of the Coronavirus crisis & 'reopen' disaster; to slow Covid we needed to start over, have a complete 'lockdown,' August would have been ideal; (*at 5:20 min. mark) the current Congressional stalemate by the GOP not extending unemployment benefits & stimulus funding will cause millions of Americans to face a tsunami of evictions in the coming weeks, homelessness, poverty & hunger to impact not only the poor but others, the middle class; Mitch McConnell's power in controlling the Senate; Democratic administrations cleaning up after GOP messes; the Post Office & the Constitution; if evicted it becomes harder to vote but most states don't require you to have a primary address in order to vote; 'Who's Harming America' poll, & more.

Not only does he have a cool hang out but he knows the answers to most of my questions. Even though it is completely depressing he always seems to give me hope that we can get out of this mess if we wanted to. Also, his attitude isn't doom and gloom even though we are living in Hell right now. He could talk me off of a ledge.
