April 2020: Earth Day turns 50, and Oil goes under Zero
Recorded April 25, 2020 On this episode of New Business Paradigms, Chief of Staff Kristy Jansen, and Academy President and Founder Rinaldo Brutoco pick apart a couple of laughable moments from the past week: the President’s questionable suggestion that injecting disinfectants into humans might cure them of COVID-19 and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggesting it’s a good idea to allow the states to go bankrupt. Digging into other unbelievable ideas, Rinaldo also explains why another Trump White House policy proposal – defunding the U.S. postal service – is similarly disastrous. This move would destroy yet another essential legacy of America’s communication infrastructure, and hides some sinister intent that might surprise our listeners. The show concludes with a discussion of economic indicators - including oil prices plummeting to below zero, potential real estate investments, and frightening unemployment numbers.
