Yaron and Amy: “The Price of Pragmatism,” TODAY at 4 p.m. ET (1 p.m. PT)

Trump’s pragmatic trade policies are costing many their jobs or livelihoods. The “right” to privacy, pragmatic in origin, is having similar effects. These stories and more on today’s show. See Program Notes, below, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss with Yaron.

The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.
