The short term we have concerns about what happens with the virus. New york shutting down when it comes to the schools. Nevertheless, how can you sustain the entering opening of restaurants and bars on the back of concerns when schools have to close . The dilemma is front and center for the people operating government right now, and investors. Can they look through it . Joe exactly right. Still nothing to help out from d. C. , no stimulus seeming to be imminent. And the economy is not rolling over yet, but i think it is surprising less to the upside. Several times the data kept coming in soundly solidly better than exultations. The big green area were all those data points that kept surprising to the upside. That is rolling over. What that means is not that the economy is sputtering, per se, but people are catching up to reality. Of course we had retail sales yesterday well below estimates. It is dawning on people, i guess everyone is getting more realistic, starting to mangy maybe vir
Center for the humanities. Event occurred in dallas. Since the pandemic has begun, for our purposes, since we shut down in march, they thing that thing that has been driving our analysis here as historians is what is the historical precedent . Obviously, 1918 is the one that comes to mind and we have nobody better to tell us about 1918 than my friend christopher nichols. Hes an associate professor of history at oregon state. He is also the director of the Oregon State Center for humanities and the founder of their citizenship and crisis initiative. He also studied at harvard and wesleyan, and got his ma and phd from a good friend of ours at the university of virginia. Chris is an expert on i would say the early parts of the 20th century.

The presiding officer madam president , last week the Judiciary Committee held its hearing on judge Amy Coney Barretts nomination and it was easy to see why judge barrett is held in such high regard by her colleagues, students, and peers and why the American Bar Association gave her its highest rating of well qualified. We knew well before the hearing that judge barrett possesses an extraordinary intelligence and comprehensive command of the law. After three days of testimony americans got to see her qualifications for themselves. They saw why she has been described as a jurist, a formidable intellect, a brilliant and conscientious lawyer and staggering academic mind. Even the democratRanking Member on the committee couldnt hide the fact that she was impressed. Judge barrett understands the proper role of a judge in our system of government.
