We were joined by Mark Sleboda to talk about the Russian Federation's response to the spread of the novel coronavirus. The country was one of the first to lock down its borders. We also discussed the spread of false information on the coronavirus.
Later we were joined by Gareth Porter to talk about the US government's neoliberal response to the spread of the virus, with many Americans seeing only a small handout while 'the economy' gets trillions.
We were joined in our last hour by Dr. Jared Ball to talk about the changing nature of wealth as the Federal Reserve tries to keep a comatose economy alive, and risks breakdown as it appears to reveal the structural flaws in the current global economic configuration.
For our last segment, we were joined by Libertarian Transhumanist Zoltan Istvan to talk about his move from the Republican to the Libertarian parties, what transhumanism means in practical terms, and what we should be doing better in the coronavirus crisis.
