Summary
From the size of a second round of stimulus to COVID-19 litigation to reshoring, last week previewed some key issues for the months to come.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.

These include:

- The beginning of the battles on fiscal stimulus
- The introduction of the “not safe to vote” narrative
- The Big Tech vs. The World fight
- The beginning of coronavirus lawsuits
- Back to school
- Jobless claims getting worse
- Kodak and reshoring
