Due to a lack of effective leadership in Washington DC, we have 50 states with wildly divergent levels of infection and death from COVID-19. Betsy DeVos has not been very helpful (https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2020/07/12/do-what-i-want-betsy-devos-tells-school-districts-trying-open-2020-2) in giving us a workable program for school re-opening. By default it falls to each state to set up a tracking system for the spread of this disease, balance with the stats and re-evaluate schools being open at a central meeting several times a week. I disagree about a blanket (send all the children back to school) edict. As was said in this video, a hybrid of in-school and at-home learning is necessary. After decades of increasing pupil quantity per class, now we have to jump backwards to class sizes of 15 (perhaps 20 depending on room size) students per classroom. Ironic, sad and this situation we find ourselves in did not have to happen. We (the U.S.) need to swallow our pride and study how other nations have coped with this situation and not try to waste previous time "reinventing the wheel".  THANK YOU Doctor Mike for another invaluable video. Logic, science and patience seems to be in short supply along with COVID-19 infection and antibody tests.

Ordinarily for a sports team, I would suggest the state bird or something pertinent to that state. However, since this is a Washington DC team and home to  countless politicians, lobbyists, and attorneys one word comes to mind, "Spinners". When I think of Washington DC, truth and intelligent discourse is (unfortunately) not what comes to my mind. I am not so much outraged about where Mr. Stone will be spending the remainder of his life. What bothers me is the control the office of the president over what should be separate and independent judicial matters. Sadly the Dr. Fauci spin (see what I said earlier), will convince the Trump acolytes while making the rest of us just shake our heads. All I can say is VOTE on November 3, 2020 (USA national elections).

RE: ideas for future videos.




Possible Topic #1:
State's rights vs. Federal  rights as in what trumps (pun absolutely intended) presidential over gubernatorial in something like, well let's say a pandemic with medical and economic factors being tested.
Possible Topic #2:
You open up a box of what you think are legal pads, instead a Judgy Jinn pops out and gives you THREE wishes with the only stipulation is that they have to be legal in nature. What 3 legal things do you wish for (can be global, U.S. only, the universe (as in law applicable off-planet as Elon Musk may be planning a Martian vacation).
Possible Topic #3:
Trial by jury vs. Trial by judge.  Positives and negatives.
Possible Topic #4:
How to behave as a juror and/or as a foreperson (BTW how does the person leading the jury get chosen? In cinema it seems so random.)
Possible Topic #5:
Impaneled Juries - necessary or punitive (as in jurors are so tired and stressed they will be less than thorough in deliberations).
