4. ABC NEWS: "Teachers are writing their own obituaries as schools near reopening amid COVID-19"
Leslie is then joined by Dr. Robert Shapiro, Chairman of Sonecon, an economic advisory firm and a Senior Fellow of the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University.
They discuss his newest piece for 'Washington Monthly,' which is titled, "Investors are Doing Great in this Crisis, But What About the Rest of Us?"
