Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, July the 26th, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting the information we need on the continuing online bluster and roar of folks fearing, wanting, or advocating for a civil war in America, we’ll bring up the learned opinions on two experts on American Civil War to bring perspective to the rhetoric, and also provide a historical means to test to judge what motivates the folks who use such bluster. Monkeypox is spreading in the headlines even faster than the disease itself is through the infected, we’ll talk about how the not-to-distant ugly past in how folks deal with illnesses is rearing its prejuidiced head again. The situation in Myanmar is in the news at the ruling military junta begins to execute prisoners of last years protests, we will cover this all to predictable development that is part and parcel to tyrannical crackdowns. Our guest today is the returning Alexander Salter, an economist and research fellow at Texas Tech and Young Voices contributor. With headlines full of economic news and a White House trying to define what a recession is/isn’t while also explaining inflation, cost of living, and other issues, Alexander helps us turn down the noise and get to the terminology and language of economics that is vital to understanding what is going on in this unique environment. Alexander also delves into the odd economics of having low unemployment but a labor issue and inflation, the path that got us here, and the bipartisian habit of fiscal ill responsibility that shows no signs of changing anytime soon. We also put him on the spot as to whether the latest economic data is the peaking of the worst, or if the summer of discontent will run into the fall and winter. Plus, we read from an op-ed that takes a dissenting view on Uvalde and the police response to the Robb Elementary School shooting, and after its users have raised tens of millions of dollars for charity Twitch is formalizing a new way for content creators to fundraise for good causes. All that and more on this loaded Tuesday edition of Heard Tell.——————–Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?
