LA George Floyd police brutality demonstrations LA
Protestors and police clash in LA.
They are right near Writers Guild of America West HQ.
What an opportunity for Writers to see everything.
It seems police made a mistake in trying to hem protestors in.
They need crowd control training. Police shld have just let peaceful demonstrators pass.

Important post--Trevor Noah reflects on racial dominos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4amCfVbA_c
Chris Rock and Trevor Noah, both black comedians (that's their day job) are easily the most brilliant people I've ever seen, of any color, the same way orange so and so is the most evil and stupid.
For this Trevor Noah should write a book, it could be like Malcolm Gladwell's David and Goliath or Timothy Snyder's On Tyranny.
I strongly recommend his autobiography Born a Crime.
Because he was a mixed blood child, his mother was black and his father was white, he was not allowed to go out to play much because it was dangerous for him in South Africa.
That's how he came to read so much.
Some TV hosts, like Rachel Maddow, have a Ph.D. in Pol. Sci. Her's is from Oxford Univ.
Noah said as a child, when they went to a park, his father would walk in one side of the street and his mother and he on another.
Trevor Noah should be awarded an honorary doctorate.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell talks to 60 minutes
Photos, copyright KMKaung
"It depends on the medical metrics. The virus has not gone away. Death rates are down due to social distancing."
Powell says the 2nd bailout may not be enough, he praises Congress even though he's a Republican and a trump hire.
Scott
Pelley asked "Will you just print the money"--Powell said Fed has the
authority to print it digitally and will also print bank notes, which
will of course increase the money supply.
He
predicted the newest hires will suffer the most and so will the lowest
paid. (They don't have a safety net nor a cushion of savings to fall
back on.)
Powell predicts unemployment of 25% (or 30%)
Pelly
said those were the numbers of the Great Depression. He said people
lose their skills and their business contacts if they stay away from the
work place too long.
60
minutes showed the Federal Reserve building as well as some of the
interior, wh was built as part of the New Deal that Roosevelt used to
jump start the economy after the Great Depression.
BTW, once things reopen, try to go to the Roosevelt Memorial, close to the Martin Luther King Memorial on the Mall.
There
are sculptures of and quotes from Roosevelt, a niche for Eleanor
Roosevelt, sculptures of a bread line and stone and water features which
to my eye look very Asian minimalistic. Also a depiction of R's
fireside chats on radio.
This is an informal summary I made from memory, if you want a precise transcript, you'll have to make it yourself.

Artist who paints empty spaces drives his mother home from Florida to Canada.
This
was about March I guess, now planes are over crowded again and NBC
consultant said he must have caught corona on a crowded flight, even
though wearing mask and gloves, through his eyes.
Advises
eye coverings. I tried the safety goggles for carpentry that I got to
assemble a cabinet (not done yet) but it did not work.

Serious/fatal corona-related sydrome, organ failure/clots, in children + teenagers + trump ignores CDC
children need to wear masks too.
Make
some if you can't buy them and use them properly. Cloth masks should
be boiled in assigned pot every time it/they are used. Dry in sun, hang
by strings.
N95 shld be kept in sun awhile after wearing, also hold by sides. Wash hands immediately after.
Also wear gloves (disposable) when you go out.
