Meatpacking plants have been some of the biggest COVID-19 hot spots in the country. Thousands of workers have been infected, dozens have died. As plants reopen, one strategy has helped slow the virus's spread: large-scale employee testing. NPR food and agriculture correspondent Dan Charles explains how this approach could be a lesson for other industries as well.

In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - Fighting the Crisis with Food (with José Andrés)

Andy catches up with Chef José Andrés in a rare moment of rest. Chef Andrés has been jumping from one crisis to the next since February, feeding people around the world affected by the pandemic. His organization, World Central Kitchen, is now providing 250,000 fresh meals a day in dozens of cities across America. In total, they’ve served nearly 18 million meals worldwide. They talk about how the pandemic has exacerbated the global hunger crisis and what Chef Andrés is doing to try and solve it. Plus: how to re-open restaurants safely.

The Daily Signal - Students, Faculty Target Professor for Writing Honest History of Black Lives Matter

Views that part from far-left progressivism apparently aren't tolerated any longer by many colleges and universities. Bill Jacobson, founder and publisher of Legal Insurrection and professor of law, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to explain why he is being publicly shamed for writing the truth about the Black Lives Matter coalition.

Jacobson, who also directs the Securities Law Clinic at Cornell Law School, wrote a blog post in June explaining the tainted history of the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as another post about “anti-American, anti-capitalist activists” who started the movement. For this, Jacobson received a public rebuke from the dean of the law school and faces a student-led effort to boycott his class.

We also cover these stories:

Dr. Anthony Fauci delivers a stern warning that America needs to change its approach to COVID-19.
The Supreme Court issues a 5-4 win for families on school choice.
The European Union won't allow visitors from America this summer.

Enjoy the show!

Brought to you by... - 49: Making Nathan’s Famous

Nathan’s Famous turned the hot dog into a symbol of July 4th. But the story of how that happened says a lot more about America than just its love of a good BBQ. It’s immigrants striving for the American dream, hucksters spinning tall tales, underdogs fighting against the odds. The good, the bad, and the ugly of the US stuffed through a meat grinder, bigger and better than Nathan’s ever dreamed.

Philosophers In Space - 0G109: Uploaded and For-Profit Afterlife

Welcome to Amazon Prime, the best media empire money can buy as long as we're not talking Disney or Netflix money. Here in Amazon Prime you can enjoy shows that are either too slow and deep to be accessible, like Tales from the Loop, or shows too shallow and mainstream to convey any meaning, like this weeks installment, Uploaded! Uploaded is the kind of show that would be free in the heaven depicted by uploaded. We use it to discuss the dangers of a for-profit afterlife and the coercive implications for even the healthiest among us. Assuming you've got your autopay setup correctly, otherwise these show notes are all you get.

There really need to be more papers on the ethics of for-profit uploading.
