Web Only / Views » May 6, 2020 The U.S. Response to Covid-19 Has Lavished Wealth on the Rich While the pandemic ravages American workers, the federal government has orchestrated a monumental transfer of wealth from the bottom of the economic ladder to the top. The novel coronavirus has already claimed over 70,000 lives in the United States since the pandemic began to spread throughout the country earlier this year—a figure topping total U.S. casualties during the course of the Vietnam War. The Trump administration is predicting the death toll will soon skyrocket, with 3,000 deaths a day becoming the norm by early June—even as the president and his fellow Republicans urge...

David Dayen on the Corporate Bailout and Life in the Age of Corporate Power

David Dayen on the Corporate Bailout and Life in the Age of Corporate Power The $5 trillion corporate bailout bill passed the Senate by a 96 to 0 vote. Even so called progressives like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren voted for it. “I am disappointed that these so-called champions that ran these anti-corporate campaigns for President caved in and decided to go along with the most expensive corporate bailout of all time,” says David Dayen, executive editor of the American Prospect magazine. “The CARES Act included relief for individuals and small businesses,” Dayen told Corporate Crime Reporter in an interview earlier this month. “But it also included $500 billion that would be used for a...

California Creates a Rebuttable Presumption that Certain Workers Who Report COVID-19 Illness Are Entitled to Workers’ Compensation Benefits, Littler Mendelson P.C.

California Creates a Rebuttable Presumption that Certain Workers Who Report COVID-19 Illness Are Entitled to Workers’ Compensation Benefits On May 6, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-62-20, immediately creating a monumental change in how claims of industrially contracted COVID-19 suffered by the state’s “essential workforce” will be addressed.

Accelerating To A Future State Of Investing, ETF Trends

By Jae Yoon, CIO, New York Life Investment Management To say that a lot has happened in 2020 would be a monumental understatement. The lists of “first” and “biggest” and “most dramatic” developments have grown longer and longer. We had the longest bull market ever, followed by the quickest bear market. The U.S. 10-year bond yield fell below 1.0% for the first time, while front-end oil contracts fell to negative prices. Policy responses have been sizable and swift, with the Federal Reserve purchasing risk assets. Growth companies, such as the big technology names, have increased their weight in the S&P 500 even after a decade of outperformance. With all this change, much remains...

What Is the Government Using the Shutdown For? , Cato Institute

You don’t need economic expertise to realise that closing businesses and locking people at home reduces activity. U.S. data shows 16.6 million Americans — over a tenth of its labour force — filed for unemployment insurance in the past three weeks. Universal Credit here in Britain has seen 1.2 million extra claims since March 16. That’s after unprecedented actions, remember, to discourage layoffs.

After some duration, mothballing activity becomes more damaging relative to economic adaptation. No wonder, per Fraser Nelson, Boris...
