Notes From All Over -- Late Morning Edition -- June 25, 2020

Natural gas at new lows: $1.52.



Texas, corona virus: governor delays/postpones next "opening phase.

Mnuchin: hints at delaying the "July 15, 2020" tax filing deadline.

Reparations. The tea leaves suggest, sooner than later, reparations will be "passed." I think there are ways to make it work. It's one of those "aha" moments that emanates from the Covid pandemic. More on that later, perhaps.

Pandemic: I'm getting mixed messages. Are folks interested in "herd immunity" or not? 

Killing fields: more homicides in North Dakota in 2019 than in previous twenty years, in both rate and actual numbers. Link here.
