Mostly my research and reading from 2020 04 04 Saturday Hints: while watching videos, try 2x speed first, and then step down to whatever is comfortable.  Some videos can be viewed at 2x for a lot of the time, but then need to be rewound, or slowed down, for second time through Steve Keen is great, but he's not the only economist that is communicating those messages: Stephanie Kelton Dr Stephanie Kelton On Modern Monetary Theory - YouTube  -- does not seem to be aware of debt bubble Stephanie Kelton: MMT, the Crisis, and the Real Economy - YouTube Stephanie Kelton - Wikipedia Michael Hudson The Radical Imagination | Imagining How the World of Finance Really Works - YouTube  -- start at 9:00 or 9:11 -- classical economist Michael Hudson (economist) - Wikipedia www.levyinstitute.org/scholars/michael-hudson Michael Hudson Michael Hudson, Author at Evonomics Of course, understanding money/credit/debt is just one aspect of understanding how things ...

I feel it is essential that everyone have good, useful, news so that they can make their choices daily.  Here are the reports and interviews which highlight the state of things, as they were on April 3 and earlier 2020.  My facebook friends will probably appreciate that I'm only going to make this post regarding "news" today :-) -- Aaron News to be read on Saturday, April 4th about things that happened on Friday, April 3 and earlier First, a review of my shares from yesterday What if I can't pay my mortgage?

How to Keep Your Family Fed

Just a reminder: the check is NOT in the mail, so plan accordingly The $1200 (or whatever) might take up to 5(!) months to arrive (ridiculous, hopefully not that long), the unemployment might take weeks to be processed (the state governments are overwhelmed by the number of applications and the slow federal response), and the small business loans, which are start to start tonight, #1 are not even set up yet, #2 the banks don't want to do (so they won't), and #3 is only enough for about 30% of what is being requested -- so if it is first-come, first-served, then more likely than not, you're out of luck (update, only a tiny percent have actually happened as of 2020/4/7).
