Did a New York Times article inspire Trump’s ‘back to work’ plan?

Even more annoying PBS did an interview with Katz not only giving him air time - but treating him as if he was an expert.

Thankfully I have SetApp and so both of them are on my Macs - no extra payment needed.


The 2 trillion package is in … the market rebound is steeper than the Covid-19 curve and unemployment claims jumped from ~280k to ~3.28million.
