MasterMyTrades.com Patreon.com/GoodMorningLiberty Walmart pays hourly staff nearly $180M in bonuses with 'more to come' Federal Judge Blocks California Law Requiring Background Checks For Ammunition Purchases https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/walmart-pays-hourly-staff-180m-bonuses Walmart paid almost $180 million in cash bonuses to its hourly associates nationwide on Thursday and has fulfilled its goal of hiring 200,000 more employees since March in response to demand prompted by the novel coronavirus, the company announced. Donna Morris, the company's chief people officer, said in a memo posted to its website Thursday that hourly associates received the extra cash, which was actually accelerated quarterly incentive payouts, in addition to previously announced bonuses. Walmart announced in a mid-March press release it plans to pay its full-time hourly employees $300 each and it's part-time hourly workers $150 as a "special cash bonus," totaling more than $365 million.

The remarks constituted arguably the lengthiest such statement from the world's richest man in a quarterly report and underscored the magnitude of the deadly disease that has left much of the world struggling to emerge from forced business shutdowns and a temporary cessation of normalcy to help limit the contagion's spread.

Trump Plans to Halt Nearly All Legal Immigration Into the U.S. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/04/trump-suspend-legal-immigration-green-card-immigrants-travel-ban-coronavirus.html The coronavirus has led the U.S. to a dark place of national reckoning. On Monday evening, President Donald Trump announced his intention to further dim what remains of American life from just two months ago by suspending nearly all legal immigration into the country. "In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!" Trump tweeted. The move is being made under the guise of the pandemic and an effort to protect American workers, many millions of whom now find themselves out of work, but it's hard not to see something deeper and darker in the "America First" president's motives. It's hard not to read this as an opportunist seizing an opportunity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

MasterMyTrades.com Patreon.com/GoodMorningLiberty The COVID-19 Crisis Is the Result of Decades of FDA Misrule https://fee.org/articles/the-covid-19-crisis-is-the-result-of-decades-of-fda-misrule/ The COVID-19 pandemic is exposing how the US Food and Drug Administration puts Americans at increased risk of sickness and death. Decades of killing medical innovation and forcing industries offshore made this inevitable. Rightfully, many are questioning how things got this bad. As political stock rises in calls for change in Washington, Americans must watch out for any false debate that merely aims at rearranging deck chairs. IRS sends coronavirus stimulus checks to dead people https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/17/irs-sends-coronavirus-stimulus-checks-to-dead-people.html An unlikely group counts itself among the recipients of the coronavirus stimulus checks: the dead. The IRS began distributing $290 billion in direct cash payments within the past week as part of the $2 trillion CARES Act stimulus bill. As part of the plan, IRS is sending checks of up to $1,200 per individual and $2,400 per married couple over the past several days to weather the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic.IRS sends coronavirus stimulus checks to dead people How Some Rich Americans Are Getting Stimulus 'Checks' Averaging $1.7 Million https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/17/irs-sends-coronavirus-stimulus-checks-to-dead-people.html A $1.7 million stimulus check? While wealthy Americans are not eligible for the comparatively measly $1,200 stimulus checks that are now being disbursed to many Americans, they are on pace to do even better. 43,000 taxpayers, who earn more than $1 million annually, are each set to receive a $1.7 million windfall, on average, thanks to a provision buried in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

EMasterMyTrades.com Patreon.com/GoodMorningLiberty Budget Deficit Now Expected To Near $4 Trillion This Year https://reason.com/2020/04/14/budget-deficit-now-expected-to-near-4-trillion-this-year/ In the halcyon days of yore—you know, 10 weeks ago—budget hawks were fretting about the return of trillion-dollar deficits, with the Congressional Budget Office's latest 10-year projection showing that the annual budget deficit would hit $1.7 trillion by 2030. Alyssa Milano Discovers Due Process https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/alyssa-milano-discovers-due-process/ Only some women are to be believed, when it's politically convenient. It's one thing to adopt a poorly formed set of principles and foist them on others at every opportunity. It's another to apply those principles unflinchingly to one's political opponents while giving allies a free pass. Milano's pro-due-process statement on the accusations against Biden is, in essence, the correct one, just as Biden's recent defense of himself was justifiable. Due process is an essential part of the liberal legal tradition and a foundational part of our culture; there's nothing wrong with invoking "innocent until proven guilty" on one's own behalf or that of a friend. There is, however, quite a bit wrong with invoking this principle only when it suits you and jettisoning it when it comes to people holding political beliefs you find abhorrent. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

But power really lies with governors https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/12/politics/governors-trump-coronavirus-response/index.html As President Donald Trump leans in to his fervent desire to reopen the nation's economy by May 1, there is a major obstacle standing in his path: the nation's governors and mayors who hold the power to enforce closures and who have often taken a far more aggressive posture on protecting public health than the President.

In some cases, their actions seem like random acts of charity. In others, they loom large—like Jack Dorsey's decision to dedicate $1 billion worth of Square stock for coronavirus relief. A number of companies are taking substantial actions to reward frontline workers—like Albertsons granting a $2 an hour pay increase on top of overtime, or Target investing more than $300 million in added wages, paid leave, and back-up childcare. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Later, the pharma giant confirmed the coronavirus vaccine could roll out to the public by early 2021. Now the company's chief scientist says it will also spend $500 million as part of a $1 billion partnership with the U.S. government to research and produce a vaccine. And Paul Stoffels, chief scientific officer at Johnson & Johnson, says it will start manufacturing this month before the vaccine has gone through clinical trials or been approved by the FDA. That's in order to get large quantities of the vaccine ready to go to market early next year, if it's given the green light by regulatory agencies, Stoffels tells Forbes .

Bernie Sanders on Wednesday lambasted Republican senators who had objected to provisions in the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package that they said would incentivize unemployment, accusing them of fixating on minor perks for workers amid a crisis. "What happened is Sen. (Lindsey) Graham and some other Republicans, they are just terribly upset that low-income workers might receive a bit more money than they otherwise would have earned," Sanders told CNN's Anderson Cooper, before the chamber voted on the bill.

Rand Paul says Uncle Sam should hold off on collecting taxes for a few months — and waive fees — as Americans attempt to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. The Kentucky Republican's proposal elicited a wave of feedback Monday as the COVID-19 outbreak continued to disrupt and redefine daily life throughout the world. "Today I'm calling on the IRS to move our tax filing deadline from April 15 to July 15, and to waive any interest and fees for late payment," Mr. Paul tweeted. "This will allow those who owe money not to have to send it during our current situation." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

What Government is Doing While Everyone Panics- Hint:FISA || EP 209
The Government Wants To Dramatically Weaken Your Encryption. Here Is Why It Should Not. Late last week, reports emerged that, once again, senior United States government officials are contemplating seeking legislation that would ban ordinary citizens from using encryption that the government cannot easily crack, reviving the battle between the government – which believes that encryption hampers its efforts to monitor the communications of terrorists and criminals – and technology firms that wish to offer the best security to their users. The new proposal would impact every user of Whatsapp and other tools that offer end-to-end encryption – that is, that allow users to carry on conversations that are encrypted in such a fashion that the chat-service provider itself cannot decrypt them. 1. There is no evidence that allowing law-abiding private citizens to use encryption actually helps terrorists achieve their aims. (If there is such evidence, let the government present it to the public.) At least as far as the public has been told, we have not experienced terrorist attacks that would have been preventable had the government been able to more easily break the encryption of standard messaging tools. In fact, it seems that many communications between terrorists are carried out without any encryption. As was seen clearly after the Paris attacks in 2015, governmental failure to monitor terrorist communications is arising primarily from other deficiencies – such as not quickly enough identifying the right people to monitor – rather than from the inability of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to decrypt encrypted communications. 2. There are more effective actions to take against terrorists that should come first. Before we ask Americans to surrender privacy in order to gain security, the government should demonstrate that in has acted with competence in all other areas of the war against terror and exhausted other means. As I noted in 2015, when we hear our Commander-in-Chief telling us how ISIS is "contained" days before the organization kills over a hundred people in the heart of Paris, when we barely hear anything from the government when an American student is murdered by a terrorist in the West Bank, when we hear that the Turkish government tried to warn France twice about one of the suspects involved in the Paris killings but that the French did not respond until after the attacks, etc. we have to wonder if there are other much more significant actions that the government could (and should) be taking to combat terrorists before it deems it necessary to strip us of our rights. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's Talk About Price Gouging || EP 208
Coronavirus: Tennessee brothers hoard nearly 18,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, say they have nowhere to sell it Two brothers from Tennessee who said they tried to capitalize on the coronavirus outbreak by buying nearly 18,000 bottles of hand sanitizer now claim they have nowhere to sell the products after a crackdown on online price gouging. After the first COVID19-related death in the U.S. was announced, 36-year-old Noah Colvin and his brother, Matt, cleared out hand sanitizer from stores around Chattanooga, Tenn., and parts of Kentucky, The New York Times first reported. Their intention was to sell the goods on Amazon at marked-up prices. They sold the sanitizer for between $8 and $70 each, multiple times higher than what they paid for the product at local stores, the paper reported. The brothers declined to disclose their exact profits, saying only that it was "substantial." Despite backlash and accusations of profiteering, Noah Colvin defended his methods to The Times, saying there was "crushing overwhelming demand" in areas not carrying the products. "I honestly feel like it's a public service," he said. "I'm being paid for my public service." But, Amazon, along with other online platforms including eBay and Walmart, shut down sellers such as the Colvin brothers who were found to be price gouging. "Price gouging is a clear violation of our policies, unethical, and in some areas, illegal," Amazon announced in a statement. "In addition to terminating these third-party accounts, we welcome the opportunity to work directly with states attorneys general to prosecute bad actors." Now, some 17,700 bottles of hand sanitizer have been sitting in Noah Colvin's garage, with no place to sell them, the paper reported. After the brothers made headlines, news outlets reported that investigators with the Tennessee attorney general's office ordered the Colvins to end any profiteering strategies. The state, which has had laws against price gouging, was investigating the case. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Complete Coronavirus Update - Is This Trump's Fault? || EP 203
Coronavirus cases over 111,000: Live updates on COVID-19 A newly identified coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is spreading across the globe. Here's what you need to know about the virus and the disease it causes, called COVID-19. Update on Monday, March 9 (ET): —There are about 564 confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S., with 136 of those in Washington state and 124 in California. —There are now 22 coronavirus deaths in the U.S. (19 in Washington and 2 in Florida). —There are 3,892 deaths linked to the virus worldwide. Deaths worldwide exceed those from SARS. And 62,375 individuals have recovered from COVID-19. —There are 111,354 confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide, with more cases popping up outside China than inside. —Additional cases have been confirmed in New York, bringing the state's total to 106. How does the new coronavirus compare with the flu? The new coronavirus outbreak has made headlines in recent weeks, but there's another viral epidemic hitting countries around the world: flu season. But how do these viruses compare, and which one is really more worrisome? So far, the new coronavirus has led to more than 100,000 illnesses and more than 3,000 deaths worldwide. But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 34 million illnesses, 350,000 hospitalizations and 20,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That said, scientists have studied seasonal flu for decades. So, despite the danger of it, we know a lot about flu viruses and what to expect each season. In contrast, very little is known about the new coronavirus and the disease it causes, dubbed COVID-19, because it's so new. This means COVID-19 is something of a wild card in terms of how far it will spread and how many deaths it will cause. "Despite the morbidity and mortality with influenza, there's a certainty … of seasonal flu," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a White House press conference on Jan. 31. "I can tell you all, guaranteed, that as we get into March and April, the flu cases are going to go down. You could predict pretty accurately what the range of the mortality is and the hospitalizations [will be]," Fauci said. "The issue now with [COVID-19] is that there's a lot of unknowns." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support Learn more about your ad choices.

It's difficult to stress through text, but this has a lot of potential to go very poorly. Investing, by it's very nature is a risky business. Even if we just take the tax on stock trades, excluding the proposals for taxes on derivatives, we've got a .5% tax on every stock purchase. That doesn't sound like much, does it? Bernie Sanders says that with just a little tax like this we could raise $2.4 trillion dollars over 10 years and pay for free college for everyone. As usual, he's flat wrong. I don't think we've hidden the fact that I'm not a fan of Bernie Sanders. Actually, you might have even typed BernieLies.com to reach this article.

Who Gets To Spend Your Money? | EP 192
From the Atlantic: It's Jeff Bezos's Planet Now On Monday, Jeff Bezos announced the creation of the Bezos Earth Fund, which will disperse $10 billion in the name of combatting climate change. The fund is a triumph of philanthropy—and a perfect emblem of a national failing. Or rather, a series of national failings. In a healthy democracy, the world's richest man wouldn't be able to painlessly make a $10 billion donation. His fortune would be mitigated by the tax collector; antitrust laws would constrain the growth of his business. Instead of relying on a tycoon to bankroll the national response to an existential crisis, there would be a national response. But in an age of political dysfunction, Bezos has begun to subsume the powers of the state. Where the government once funded the ambitious exploration of space, Bezos is leading that project, spending a billion dollars each year to build rockets and rovers. His company, Amazon, is spearheading an experimental effort to fix American health care; it will also spend $700 million to retrain workers in the shadow of automation and displacement. Meanwhile, swaths of the federal government have contracted with Amazon to keep data on the company's servers. Bezos is providing the vital infrastructure of state. When Amazon locates its second headquarters on the Potomac, staring across the river at the capital, it will provide a perfect geographic encapsulation of the new balance of power.
