Is it too early in the week for a rage supernova?

If you’re flying on a plane, you should wear a mask. But as far as the federal government is concerned, of all the things you have to do to get on a plane, wearing a mask isn’t one of them. Make it make sense!!!!!! We’ll also talk about the inequality of COVID-19 and the foreign students falling through the cracks at Harvard and other all-remote schools this fall. It’s grim. Maybe some Quibi gossip will cheer us up.

Here’s a list of everything we’re talking about today:

• The government verbiage kicking out students this fall
• “The Fullest Look Yet at the Racial Inequity of Coronavirus” in The New York Times
• “No Federal Mandates For Masks On Planes Or Empty Middle Seats” from NPR
• “Trump administration releases list of companies that received most money from small business bailout loans” from NBC News
• …And recent Make Me Smart guest Stephanie Kelton’s reaction to the news that the Ayn Rand Institute got a PPP loan.
• “Is Anyone Watching Quibi?” from Vulture
