Due to concerns over Coronavirus, many parents are very reluctant to send their children back to the classroom and they are not satisfied with the online learning model. Zoom classes and Google Classroom are just not cutting it. So they are paying big money to form small "pods" with other parents and hiring a private teacher to educate their children. How effective is this? Matty K and John discus...

Jeffery Epstein was a terrible human being.  Was he also a spy?  Why did he receive such a light sentence for trafficking underage girls in 2007? Anyone else would have spent decades in prison for those offenses.  Where did all his money come from?  And who is this Ghislaine Maxwell person? Lots of twists and turns to this sordid tale.  Of course, Epstein will never be abl...

In the 17th century people would regularly work more than 40 hours a week; at one point it was upwards of 60. But that doesn't mean we need to keep plodding ahead with the old 9 to 5 routine.

Perhaps the focus should be on productivity rather than ti...

Dr, Conn, Professor of History at Miami University, asserts that learning and interpreting history is essential to understanding current events by putting them into context.

The numbers tell the story; minority communities have been hit harder by the Coronavirus than white communities. The underlining causes are still being studied, but overall health, access to affordable health care, and income inequality all are playing a part. How do we combat that?

Many young people in other countries dream of coming to America, getting an MBA and making money. They have worked hard, filled out their applications, been accepted, paid their deposits...and then the Coronavirus hit.

Scientists have to see if a potential vaccine is safe and if it is effective. There is also a lot of money involved which can sometimes cause a too rosy picture to be painted. We must be patient. Not to fear, Matty K and John are hard at work developing a fu...

Amidst all the protesting and addressing of social injustice it is easy to lose sight of the individual people who are the victims.  George Floyd was known as a "Gentle Giant".  He was the father of a 6 year old girl, Gianna.  He had moved to Minneapolis to find better opportunities for work.  He lost his life over a fake $20 bill.  Are there larger problems?  Absolut...

We are probably not going back to business as usual; more and more people are going to work from home and many companies are embracing the idea. Why pay all that rent for an office you don't need? What will happen with all that vacant office space? What will Manhattan or San Francisco or any other major city look like without all those workers? Not the same! For more content, articles, videos and...

It seems as though, in addition to changing the idea of the office, the Coronavirus will accelerate the trend towards automation. If human being cannot be in the warehouses and factories, robots can do the work instead. Might be cheaper and safer but what happens to all those workers? Are they going to get trained for new jobs? Is it worth it? Matty and John discuss.

The Coronavirus is tough to deal with but we seem to be getting over some sort of hump. However, what else is coming down the pike? This administration has been accused of not being prepared for a pandemic; what else are they not prepared for? Bioterrorism? Catastrophic earthquakes? A return of Pauly Shore? Chilling!
