We're steering straight into the dark place today.

Markets are up for the third day in a row, even as weekly unemployment claims hit about 3.3 million, more than 10 times the previous week’s count. Plus this milestone: the U.S. notches the largest number of COVID-19 cases in the world. What gives? We’re steering straight into the dark place today.

But on the bright side, Kai’s 12-year-old just learned how to make bread, and you guys sent in some good names for this self-isolation period, like “World War Zoom,” “Pause for the Cause” and “The Day We Stopped Wearing Pants.” Find more and submit your own in our Facebook fan group.

None of us is as smart as all of us.

No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.

It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.

Donate any amount to become a Marketplace Investor and help make us smarter (and make us smile!) every day.
