Pains in the Post; Covid Compounding Inequality; Hope for American Politics

The U.S. Postal Service is suddenly at the center of debates in Washington, and CNBC’s Ylan Mui explains why snail mail is making headlines ahead of the 2020 election. The Democratic National Convention begins Monday night, and for the first time in its near 200-year history, speakers and the nominee will be speaking virtually. Harvard Professor, AEI President Emeritus, and contributing writer for The Atlantic Arthur Brooks discusses what’s likely to come of this election’s DNC. The host of “The Art of Happiness with Arthur Brooks” offers a hopeful look into the American psyche during what has so far seemed like a bleak 2020. Former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake shares research on Covid-19’s health and economic impact on Black households and entrepreneurs, explaining what these communities need from America’s leaders to survive and thrive. Plus, airlines are still stuck on the tarmac; CNBC’s Phil LeBeau and analyst Seth Kaplan discuss what’s next for carriers as travelers remain grounded.
