Democrats in the Senate blocked a Republican police reform bill yesterday, and Democrats in the House are expected to bring their police reform bill to the floor today. In Colorado, millions are calling for a new investigation into the death of Elijah McClain, who was killed in police custody last year. 

The country hit its single-day high in new confirmed coronavirus cases yesterday. A new trend is emerging of local jurisdictions making their own calls in the absence of state and federal leadership. 

And in headlines: early results from Tuesday’s primaries, GNC goes bankrupt, and Roundup pays out 10 billion to settle cancer suits.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Bull vs. Bear… Who Has the Economy Right?

The economy is nothing if not confounding right now. 

This episode is sponsored by Bitstamp and Ciphertrace.

Across every domain, from real estate to oil to retail, there are bull signals and bear signals. 

In this episode, NLW looks at those signals in the following areas:

  • Markets - strong stock recovery vs. growth in cash deposits
  • Employment - growth in jobs vs. persistent continuing jobless claims
  • Retail - growth in foot traffic vs. demand destruction
  • Oil - growth in demand (but not in economically productive diesel)
  • Real estate - surge in mortgage applications vs. worst home sales since 2010
  • Dollar - declining confidence vs. there is no alternative 
  • COVID-19 - reduced death rates in the U.S. vs. growing caseload


What’s the answer? Is this just a narrative mirage recovery? Listen and find out.
