Barney & Clyde - Season 2, Episode 16

 It's here!

Pour yourself something bracing, pull up a stool and join us at the virtual libation station for an hour of examination of 

NOT QUITE A BUSINESS, NOT QUITE A GOVERNMENT AGENCY - The US Postal Service: the upcoming hearings on its current predicament, Trump’s bluster about its role in the upcoming elections, a bit about the service’s history (with a particular focus on Nixon making it quasi-autonomous in 1970), the role of the union, and its unfunded liabilities. 


I’LL DECIDE THAT FOR MYSELF, THANK YOU - Uber’s announcement that it will suspend operations if it’s forced to regard its drivers as employees.



TURNING DOWN THE TEMPERATURE IN A PERENNIAL HOTBED - Could the Israel-UAE deal be a harbinger of a new era in the Middle East?


I DON’T NEED THIS KIND OF GRIEF - Law-enforcement morale in mid-2020 America.
