Here's another batch of recommended videos for AWARE on the Air and
News from Neptune timeslots. As before, any other AWARE/NFN people's
videos should be prioritized before my suggestions. This should be
enough to cover a couple of weeks.

Thanks to Jason Liggett for playing these videos on UPTV for us.

interviews Rick Wolff on "USA political and economic collapse" including some critical examination of the CARES Act which gets far too little coverage (and certainly very few people highlighting how those in Congress who rail against it and call themselves "progressive" voted for it anyhow).

Wolff said how important and good it was for the NBA to strike. Since
this interview was recorded, former Pres. Obama spoke with the NBA and convinced the NBA to end their worker-focused strike. Obama's siding with the 1% again hasn't received a lot of press and not much overdue criticism. Jimmy Dore covered Obama's talk properly in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPurnjICe2o
