In this episode of Civil Discord, Jaffee and Phillips devote the first half to a discussion of recent CDC changes in guidelines for schools, a discovery on how mutant variants of the virus have evolved, tax evasion by the wealthy, the state of the Senate filibuster, and potential benefits of an infrastructure bill. The second half turns to foreign policy, with Jaffee providing some critical analysis of the early Biden foreign policy direction vis-à-vis China.
