Alyssa Wrap, CEO of Surgical Solutions, join 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: us on the phone from Deerfield, Illinois, and Alyssa has 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: been great at providing us Alex with a real view 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: of the front lines of this crisis because she's got 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: more than two hundred employee who were working there in 19 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: hospitals and health facilities less are really nice to have 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: you back with us, Jason and Alex. Great to be 21 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: with you today. Thanks for having me all right, So, 22 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I feel like the world has actually gotten worse since 23 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: the last time we talked, certainly a lot of places 24 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: across the United States. How worried are you, especially given 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: the window that you have in terms of this healthcare 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: system now being stretched to its capacity. So I think 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: that I'm worried, isn't the word? Perhaps concerned is better, 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: only because I've seen our people on the front lines 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: be as excellent, dedicated, and prepared as we would want 30 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: them to be. The only benefit of time marching on 31 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: as people are leveraging their experience and insight as frontline 32 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: healthcare workers in coping with it. So are people and 33 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: those I hear about are doing a great job. But 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: my concern is that the systems themselves are going to 35 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: be increasingly taxed. And listen, we've had more incidences of 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: COVID IT on our own team in Houston in the 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: last three weeks then we did in New York City 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: at the peak of the first search. So it's because 39 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: of this snap, you know, rubber band effect of reopening 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: without all the social distancing and masks in place. We 41 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: unfortunately know that weather doesn't play as much of a 42 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: role as we had hoped in dampening the virus transmissions. 43 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: So because of everything going on, and without being overly political, 44 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: we knew that there were mass gatherings due to the 45 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: civil unrest. So with all of that closed down behavior 46 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: than fast reopening and then uneven state by state responses, 47 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: we're seeing many, many spikes and I expect those to 48 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: continue for the next six months. Can I ask the 49 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: sensitive question as to why the Sun Belt states weren't 50 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: better prepared even if they reopened quote unquote the wrong time. 51 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: It's like, we knew that this was going to play 52 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: out in New York and March, so I wonder, like, 53 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: why isn't there a stockpil of stuff, Alex. I think 54 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: it's a great question, and I don't have the perfect 55 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: answer for you. What I can say is I think 56 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: that the cases were concentrated in New York. There was 57 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: such a intense focus by the city, the state, and 58 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: the healthcare hospitals and providers there to solve the crisis 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: that they did the classic Bell curve effect, And because 60 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: the peak of the curve was so much lower in 61 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: the Sunbelt States. I think they hoped, I think we 62 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: all hoped, frankly, that they would just avert disaster and 63 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: never get to that same peak point local maximum. And unfortunately, 64 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: no one is this. This disease doesn't discriminate. No one 65 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: is immune. So when they thought they had averted danger 66 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: and then unfortunately dangerous struck they were they thought they 67 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: were on the back nine and and no one is, 68 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: unfortunately yet. And so Alyssa, you know, one of the 69 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: things that we've talked with you about before is this 70 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: notion of the the holistic system in some ways. And 71 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: while so many resources have been dedicated, obviously to treating 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: COVID patients, there's a whole system out there and a 73 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: whole population out there that has needs to go beyond COVID, 74 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: some of which surgeries have been put off. Um, where 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: are we in in that calculus right now? And what 76 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: are you seeing when you talk to your folks, So 77 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: that that I feel more optimistic about. Once people started 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: rescheduling elective procedures, they started scheduling fast and furiously, and 79 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: I think that, um, that's really important for preventative health. 80 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: I get as as afraid about what the health care affects, 81 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: the health effects and negative health effects I should say, 82 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: of not being seen and treated for preventative measures, now 83 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: what those will be in six, twelve, eighteen months. So 84 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: I'm glad to see that our volumes were back up 85 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: to eight of historic levels for elective surgeries, for example 86 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: in places like Texas and Tennessee UM in June. Obviously, 87 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: the next round of questions is where will they stabilize there? 88 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: Given what's going on, they'll probably dip again and then 89 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: hopefully come back. So I feel slightly optimistic actually about 90 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: people's willingness to get back in there and get seen 91 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: for what was considered quote unquote elective. What I am 92 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: concerned about on a on a macro level is how 93 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: these hospitals that typically operate at three percent margins in 94 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: the best case scenarios, are going to weather the next 95 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: wave of the financial storm. And as self serving as 96 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: it is to say, I think that even if I 97 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: were looking at arm's length, you want this notion of 98 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: an outsourcing partner like Surgical Solutions and many others where 99 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: they can really risk share economically and in terms of 100 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: human capital and capital equipment, etcetera. If I were if 101 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: I could wave a wand it's that many hospital systems 102 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: would enter into those kind of risk sharing partnership strategic 103 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: partnerships so they could have another entity or team of 104 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: people helping them whether the next storms, because unfortunately this 105 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,799 Speaker 1: one isn't over. So I mean, aside from the obvious 106 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: linkage with with with surgical solutions, like what are some 107 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: other good options? Because I have to wonder like which 108 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: is it? Is it a demand or supply issue? Like 109 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: if all these people come back, and will you have 110 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: the actual capacity, Like I have to have a procedure 111 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: done and I had to wait like two months and 112 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: I was like on the list. No totally. Um. I 113 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: think that it's both right and I think that the 114 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: degree to which the federal government is doing creative things 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: like making total joint procedures, those are orthopedic procedures where 116 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: you would have something restorative, corrective and me a hip, etcetera. 117 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: Because they agreed that they're now going to be reimbursed 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: through ambulatory surgery centers in and out where you can 119 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: go in and out in a day and you have 120 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: to be there less time, which is better for you 121 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: and better for them. But but the providers will still 122 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: be reimburses a similar way. I think the degree to 123 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: which we can make it easier for people to have 124 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: shorter hospital stays and and do more you know, ambilatory 125 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: surgery center work, that will be better for everyone. I 126 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: think that could be a system shift that is a 127 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: result of this. And needless to say, this isn't an 128 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: original idea to me, but tell the medicine is your friend. Listen, 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: if my kids have to go get a physical before 130 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: getting back to school in the fall, I want that 131 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: to be live. But if one of them has a 132 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, a sore throat or an alley in their 133 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: ear to I really want to take them in right now. No, 134 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: if pddriction could see them, that would be a great pla. Yeah, 135 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: just grab the iPhone for sure. Alright, Alyssa Rap, CEO 136 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: of Surgical Coal Solutions.

Senior trade and globalization reporter for Bloomberg. 144 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: He's joining us on the phone from Maine. Good for him. 145 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: Joel Weber, editor of Bloomberg Business Week. He's in Massachusetts. 146 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: So Joel, this is a really important story and one 147 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: that I feel like provide some much needed context about 148 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: where we are in the economic aspect of this crisis. Yeah. 149 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks slash months ago, now, Sean 150 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: was like, you know, UM based in DC, and I 151 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: really to get out of DC and I get into uh, 152 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, the heart of America and see what how 153 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: this crisis is really unfolding for for normal people. And 154 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: Cleveland ended up being one of the places UM that 155 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: he's gone, and the story that he published from there, 156 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: I thought was a really interesting look at um, you know, 157 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: community that's really uh grasping for any sort of relief, 158 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: and it gives UM a sense of how, you know, 159 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: two trillion dollar uh you know kind of effort to 160 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: to kind of you know make the rescue um you 161 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: know from Congress with the Cares Act, be something that 162 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: was you know, rooted in helping things, but it actually 163 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: has left a lot of people in the cold. And 164 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: I think that was what Sean was really able to 165 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: find in Cleveland. And and Sean, you know what, what 166 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 1: what jumped out at you because you know, this is 167 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: a city where there's a river that divides the east 168 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: and west, and people on the east side, especially these 169 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: are black neighborhoods, they're really feeling it. Yeah. I mean, 170 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: like you said, a couple of months ago, I just 171 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: was looking through the data and I just happened to 172 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: see the the unemployment data for for Cleveland, for the 173 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: metro area, and what it happened in Cleveland in April 174 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: was that literally of the workers in the city had 175 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: lost their jobs in a matter of weights. You had 176 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: an unemployment rate that had gone from a little above 177 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: three percent to twenty three percent just in weeks. And 178 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: most of those people were lower income people. And I 179 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: started thinking, I need to go find out what's happening 180 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: and if they're getting the help that that they need, 181 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: and all the stuff that people are talking about in 182 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: Washington in terms of this enormous and this really is 183 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: a pretty unprecedented fiscal stimulus coming out of Washington, when 184 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: that's actually getting to the people who you did on 185 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: the ground. And once you get to Cleveland, what you 186 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: discover is that there is this divide that happens with 187 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: the Cuyahoga River UH. On the east side of it, 188 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: you've predominantly black neighborhoods, which really for decades now has 189 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: been left behind by the economy, and this time around 190 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: they're just not getting the help in the same way 191 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: that UH neighborhoods predominantly white neighborhoods the west of the 192 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: river are. And that's a story about you. We'll talking 193 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: about race in America and racial incites, and so we're here. 194 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: It is right now happening again in terms of rescue 195 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: being rolled out by the government. If you go to 196 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: the east side of Cleveland today, you will find lots 197 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: of people who aren't seeing to help that lots of 198 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: other people in America are. Yeah, it's really amazing, amazing reporting. 199 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: I urge all of you to to to listen to it, 200 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: to look at it, to read it. So I guess 201 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: my problem is is that we know that they messed 202 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: up in that respect, and now we're looking at another 203 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: stimulus Supposedly maybe we're gonna get before August ten, and 204 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we're ever going to be able to 205 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: the things that we did to them help, especially when 206 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: you have the extra money for unemployment ending July one. 207 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, how do we right the ship? Yeah? No, absolutely, 208 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: so that the first thing is that extra unemployment. There's 209 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: no doubt that next for six hundred dollars a week 210 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: that was included. That cares that that's important for the ground, 211 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: for people on the ground on the east side of Cleveland. 212 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: But what's also important and in talking in work reporting 213 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: the story, I talked to Rob Portman, the Republican Senator 214 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: at Shore Ground the Democratic Senate, two people who really 215 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: were heavily involved in a cool point together the Cares out, 216 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: and they said, they really want to get something in 217 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: this next thing that's much more targeted at a block 218 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: on businesses and minority on businesses, and they really find 219 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: some way to get to these people who are who 220 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: are being left out because they are being left out 221 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: and they recognize that. And so we'll have to wait 222 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: and see if that happens. But you know, there's there's 223 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: a lot of neat out there. Sean Um, I want 224 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: to talk about some of the characters that you got 225 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: to meet um on the east side of the river, 226 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: especially a pastor in a church twitch. What are those 227 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: experiences like. Yeah, so one of the people I ran 228 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: into on in my reporting with Miriam Scott. And Miriam 229 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: is a really impressive woman. She's a corrections officer. She 230 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: works overnight shifts one of the play at huge county 231 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: detention centers. UH and during the day she runs the 232 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: First Love Outreach and Ministries, which is a tiny church 233 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: UM in a part of Cleveland that literally is is 234 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: called the Forgotten Triangle UM and it is a part 235 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: of Cleveland where possible people live under the poverty line. 236 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: Three quarters of the children in the episode live under 237 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: the U S Povy line. She's just a stunning UH 238 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: statistics and Miriam stop is. She's been running this turn 239 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: on a Sea spring basically on three hundred, one hundred 240 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: dollars a week and ties and she can't hold in 241 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 1: person services anymore, so that money's disappeared. She tried to 242 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: go after a UH some pros some money from the 243 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: from the sederal government for faith based education, but she 244 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: discovered that because she's a volunteer, she and because there's 245 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: no paywall associated with the pods. She couldn't get any help. 246 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: And she's not unemployed. She's working on she's working a job. 247 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: She's looking overnight shift as a corrective officer. Uh. And 248 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: she's at the same time she's kind of scraping it 249 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: together and she is feeding. The last Saturday, she said 250 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: over six hundred people one Saturday of Junion, she gave 251 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: out twenty thousand towns of food, which is more food 252 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: almost than she gave out in all of twenty nineteenons 253 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: for the church. She's done incredibly hard work and she's 254 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: doing it with no help from the government. And it's 255 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: you know these times of characters that run into on 256 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: the east side of Cleveland. We're working really hard to 257 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: help the communities to get through this crisis, and they're 258 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: doing it with very little help to no help from 259 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: from the sederal government. You look at the stimulus that's 260 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: going on the economy, you think about the people who 261 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: serves and how vulnerable they are, and that is clearly 262 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: one part of the economy that should be getting more 263 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: and just isn't. It just isn't. And a really nice 264 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: piece of reporting is Alex pointed out Shawn congratulations on 265 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: this story. It's a must re check it out at 266 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot com, on the Bloomberg terminal, or in the 267 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: upcoming edition of Bloomberg business Week. That's Sean Donn, and 268 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: senior trade reporter who left Washington to do some great 269 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: reporting there in Cleveland. Our thanks as well to Joel Webber, 270 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: the editor of Bloomberg Business Week. All right, let's do 271 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: a little Business Week economics, because when it comes to 272 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: reopening the economy in any meaningful way, Alex, I think 273 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: you and I can one agree on this, both being 274 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: parents schools, they have to be reopened for the economy 275 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: to be fully reopened. Please please not even economy for 276 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: my own sandy and my husband's sanity, and then also 277 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: for the economy. Yes, so in that order. Emily Austar 278 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: she wrote a terrific piece for Bloomberg Opinion about this 279 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: professor of economics at Brown University and a Bloomberg Opinion columnists. 280 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: As I mentioned, she joins us on the phone from Providence. 281 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: All right, Emily, you gave voice and and maybe more importantly, 282 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: gave some solutions to the problem that I think we 283 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: are all obsessively thinking about. Tell us what you think 284 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: and what you found is you sort of put pen 285 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: to paper here. Yeah, So what I was what I 286 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: was writing about was just how we're going to think 287 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: about working under the constraints that we seem to be 288 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: facing for the fall. So, you know, like you, I 289 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: would very much like us all to be back in 290 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: person if we can do that. Bafely, it doesn't seem 291 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: like school district A necessarily gonna be there. And so 292 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: I think, particularly in New York, you guys are not 293 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: going to be in uh in school every day. And 294 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: so I was thinking a little bit about different solutions 295 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: people that have ranging from you know, the kind of 296 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: home schooling that we've all been doing for this entire 297 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: time period, two kind of different market based solutions. So 298 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: should we all hire a governess like the one percent? 299 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Or should we should we think about intermediate and can 300 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: be tid with other families, and just trying to give 301 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: people some ideas for for how to move forward in 302 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: what's obviously an incredibly challenging set up. Well, what I 303 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: thought was interesting in the piece is that, um, a 304 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: lot of it is for those one per centers, Like 305 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: you said, the governance, there's also to do it yourself, 306 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: which homeschooling, which would be really bad my household. But 307 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: then you got into different options like a babysitter, coop 308 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: or market based solutions. Can you take us through that 309 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: where it is maybe more accessible to a broad variety 310 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: of people. Yeah, So I think that the two things 311 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: there were sort of one talking about like, let's say 312 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: your kid is in school for two days a week, uh, 313 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: with a bunch of other kids in their class, UM, 314 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: and there you could think about hiring a babysitter along 315 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: with some other kids in the class, so you know, 316 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: rotating the kids around to your different houses or apartments, um, 317 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: with some kind of supervision. Obviously, if you did that 318 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: with six families, you know, that's six one six of 319 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: the cost of doing it doing on your on your 320 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: own UM. And then there are also you know, my 321 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: guess is I'm actually just talking to somebody in l 322 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: A this morning runs and after school program and they're 323 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: going to be running a lot of programming for kids 324 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: who are would otherwise be in school. So there certainly 325 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: will be some art market based solutions for this where 326 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: your kids can be out of the house. Uh. Those 327 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: aren't going to be challenging in other ways, I think 328 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: and for that you're talking about like the j c 329 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: C s and the y m c A s the 330 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: world right, Yeah, exactly why I'm j c C is 331 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: all those kind of things. And so as you look 332 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: across the country, I guess one of the other challenges here, 333 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: Emily is that even within a state like New York, 334 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: you're going to have different decisions being made sort of 335 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: region by region, much less you know, across the country. Uh, 336 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: is it feasible to think about, especially from an economic perspective, 337 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: that some regions of the country and even some subregions 338 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: of a state may be able to essentially thrive economically 339 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: while others may be left behind owing to closures and whatnot. Yeah, 340 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is part of what what's 341 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: sort of been very odd about the economics of this 342 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: is just the idea that, you know, we don't think 343 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: of the US as quite so segmented, and yet all 344 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, in this world, like the 345 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: situation in Rhode Island is totally different from the situation 346 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: in Texas, or from Florida, or from or from New York. 347 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: And I think that's going to mean that everybody's got 348 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: to have got to have different solutions, but it is 349 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: also going to mean that there's a tremendous amount of 350 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: inequality across places in how much your economy is gonna 351 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,239 Speaker 1: be able to reopen. I mean, as you said, you know, 352 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: school reopenings are kind of a key to economic reopening, 353 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: and places where school is fully remote are going to 354 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: have which fundamentally very different trajectory than places where school 355 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: is in is in person. If the schools can thence 356 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: to stay open, I think the hardest thing is going 357 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: to be if they open and they close again. That's 358 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: going to be even even more challenging to adapt to. 359 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: What I'm trying to get a handle on is like 360 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: we we can talk for years about how horrible it 361 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: is to have kids not in school on so many 362 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: different levels, and I just can't quite get a read on, 363 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: like financially what we need to pump into each school 364 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: to get them reopened safely and anecdotally. I have a 365 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: five year old. Her kindergarten class had twenty six kids 366 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: in a five hundred, six hundred square foot room, so 367 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: already like that class would have to be broken up 368 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: into three classes like there, so there's different classrooms. Um, 369 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: do we have a read on that yet. No. What 370 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: I actually think this is one of the biggest challenges 371 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: to making progress on this is that people have different ideas. 372 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: You know, I have some ideas, people have some some 373 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: other ideas, different kinds of staffing models, space models. But 374 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: it's clear all of these things are going to take resources. 375 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: But I don't think we've had a lot of uh, 376 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: We've made a lot of efforts to like write down 377 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: what is the budget? Um, you know, what different people 378 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: do we need? How many of them do we need? 379 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: Do we need two? And more? If your kids class 380 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: needs to be in three different in three different classrooms, 381 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: do we need three you know, three teachers? What's the 382 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: space we're going to use for that? How are we 383 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: going to afford that afford that space? I think part 384 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: of the problem is once we read that down, the 385 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: answer will be, you know, this is incredibly expensive. But 386 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: I also think until we do that, we won't we 387 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: won't know, you know, what are the pieces that are 388 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: the most expensive and what can we what can we do? 389 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: So I would really like to see more concrete numbers 390 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,719 Speaker 1: put to this. All right, Emily Austin, We're gonna leave 391 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: it there. Professor of Economics at Brown University Blueberg opinion columnists. 392 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: Her column parents Don't have to panic over part times school. 393 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,199 Speaker 1: It was one of the most read columns on the 394 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: Bluemberg continues to get a ton of readership. It has 395 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: spun around the web so many times, Alex, for all 396 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: the obvious reasons, because people like you and me are 397 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: trying to figure this out, both, as you said, for 398 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: our own sanity, for the sake of the economy, for 399 00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: the sake of our humanity. You know, we think about 400 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: you know, and I have the the interesting perspective of 401 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: both teenagers and a a a sub sub three roles 402 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: who doesn't go to traditional school obviously yet, and and 403 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: the the effect on families. And listen, you and I 404 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: are very fortunate to have the resources that we do, 405 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: and I think a lot about folks who don't have 406 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: those luxuries too. Yeah, it's and you know, yes, it's 407 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: going to be horrible in terms of the social and 408 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: inequality divide that we're going to see, particularly here in 409 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: New York. And I look at my own personal circumstance 410 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: like we're going to be fine. My daughter is gonna 411 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: be fine, Like we're going to take care of her. 412 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: How many people can really say that, and and that's 413 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: a long term set up, like you can lose billions 414 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: of dollars over your lifetime as a whole group. Yes, um, 415 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: if you don't have the right education, and that's gonna 416 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: make all the issues we see worse. Absolutely alright, a 417 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: really important issue. So check that out on the Bloomberg 418 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: Our thanks to Emily Austrich. You are listening to Bloomberg 419 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: Business Week. Jason Kelly and Alex Steel here with you. 420 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: We are debating the merits and demerits of meat right now, 421 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: as we get into this new segment, Bloomberg Green, we 422 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: call it. Emily Chasen, Sustainability editor, back with us for 423 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: Bloomberg on the phone from New York City. All Right, 424 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: I have to say, Emily, the headline alone, low methane meat. 425 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, that's here, but it's a stop gap. 426 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: First of all, tell us what we're talking about. I 427 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: have to say, I saw this on Twitter, I believe you, 428 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: or when your colleagues put it out. So we're talking 429 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: about burger king to some extent. But this whole concept 430 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: of low methane meat, this is basically like cows and gas, right, 431 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: it's cow too. It's dude, it's cow too. So let's 432 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: just let's just call it. It's cow to it. That's 433 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: what it is. Um. Yeah. So it's really interesting because 434 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, there was a big trend years ago toward 435 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: organic meat UM, and now people are thinking about, well, 436 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: meat actually has a huge impact on the environment. It 437 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: is a huge force of global emissions, probably just nine 438 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: from agriculture directly, and then if you think about the 439 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: whole supply chain from farm to fork, over a third 440 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: of global emissions. And then it's going to get even 441 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: more attention as we've been working really hard to get 442 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: the electric sector and the transport sector emissions under control. 443 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: So as those emissions well, then the agriculture emissions get 444 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and bigger. So what we're looking at 445 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: here is this sort of that realization from consumers and 446 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: company saying, well, I guess we can sell you low 447 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: methane meet it's like the new organic foods label or 448 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: low carbon meat. So how do you get them? How 449 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: do you get their tooths better? Usually have to like 450 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: seriously because what it is, like, what is it? What 451 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: you feed them? I means a certain type of cow. 452 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: There is a ton of experimentation in the field right now. 453 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: I guess um Burger King just this week that came 454 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: out with a open source method UM that looks at 455 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: lemon grass and they say that lemon grass um sort 456 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 1: of makes cow's bellies happier. Um. I think there's other 457 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 1: people trying seaweed and various food additives. UM, so you know, 458 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: if cows have fe bellies and the planet will be 459 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: happier also. Um. But it's it's only a limited solution, 460 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: right because there's still going to be quite a lot 461 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: of my thing. Even this can produce methane by up 462 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: to a third, there's still many years that cows are 463 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: out there emitting methane versus you know, a plant, right, 464 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: I dare say, I mean, and we will not go 465 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: down this rabbit hole, but like this could be useful information, 466 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: I think for all sorts of things, especially you know 467 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: have teenage boys. But Emily pizza there, that's true. The ultimate, um, 468 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, the ultimate solution here, as you just alluded 469 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: to when you talk about plants versus animals is eat 470 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: less meat. How much is that actually catching on? I 471 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: will say I had an impossible sausage sandwich. This morning. 472 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: It was delicious. Um, And we know that those meat 473 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: alternatives are catching on, but I wonder sort of where 474 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: we are in that adoption. Yeah, well, there's a ton 475 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: of you start ups every year. There's a lot of 476 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: activity in the private markets right now around plant based meat. UM, 477 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: beyond meats. I p O was really interesting in that space. Um, 478 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: some of the big meat companies they're starting to get 479 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: into plant based meat. There's all sorts of different proteins 480 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: that people are putting out there, even once from microbes. 481 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of stuff happening there. And what 482 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: what you're thinking about this. I've talked to an investor 483 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: who's like trying to be a vegan investor. Now, there's 484 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: enough opportunities right now that you could try and adjust 485 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: your portfolio for a vegan lifestyle in a way that 486 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: you could just do your food in the grocery aisle 487 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: more easily in the past. And that's interesting. Um, here 488 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: here's the question for you. Can you methane capture this stuff? 489 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: Before you laugh, I mean carbon captures a thing. Um, 490 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: Capturing methane is also a thing, like is is that 491 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: somewhere on solution somehow there was actually an experiment in 492 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: Argentina a few years ago where they put methane backpacks 493 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: on cows to capture it and then they create a 494 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: full system. And there's also all this whole network of 495 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: anaerobic digestors that works with cow maneure and that sort 496 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: of thing could try and um capture the methane from 497 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: it and you know, power trucks or something else with it. Um. 498 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's interesting from a financial perspective that it's 499 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: hard to invest in this space because there's not a 500 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: lot of, like speaking companies that are public, so you 501 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: sort of have to screen out stocks that are fossil 502 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: fuels or curl or have some sort of damage to 503 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: wildlife or deforestation. Wow, all right, well this is a 504 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 1: great story. We'll put it out on Twitter. It is 505 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: on the Bloomberg and at Bloomberg dot com. Emily Chason, 506 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: sustainability editor for Bloomberg, on the phone from New York City. Low, 507 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: methane meat has arrived, but it's a stop gap. I 508 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 1: feel like Alex Steel on my list of garage band names, 509 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: methane backpacks pretty good one. I'm just wearing like, I mean, 510 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: you know, those things be heavy. That's that's a bummer 511 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: for the cows, but to the point of actual investing. 512 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: I completely agree with her on this. So I was 513 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: talking to one big name head fund manager who used 514 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: to be really into oil and basic commodities, and his 515 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: base sick goal in life now is to invest in 516 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: startups that make food better. And that can be like 517 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: making bees more productive or making your corn more productive. 518 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: It can be it can be technology, many different things, 519 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: but like that's his thing now. So, yeah, the problem 520 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: is there's not a lot of public opportunities r right, Well, 521 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: but you know, increasingly is the private markets get more 522 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: liquid in some form or fashion. You know, maybe that 523 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: comes on board and venture capitalists. You know, I mean 524 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: the idea of constructing a vegan portfolio. It's kind of interesting, 525 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: perfectly honest with you. I don't know if I could 526 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: construct a vegan diet, Like, I don't really know what 527 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: that means. I know, I can't eat cheese, milk, eggs 528 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: like I can eat carbs. I get really confused with 529 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: the vegan thing. Yeah, there's it's basically no meat, no 530 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: dairy I think are the main thing. Um, no paleos meat, nothing, 531 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: you like, there's a grainy it's some grain and there's 532 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: no cheese, like I can't like, I can't like. Here's 533 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: the music. Can I have a segment? Yeah, exactly. I'm 534 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: a journal Yeah, but you let me drive? Oh no, 535 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, who's going to drive home? Honey? Please, 536 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: I'll do the riding revel. I want to drive all 537 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: just drive, baby questions trying. This is the drive to 538 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: the globe. Thanks, we'll dry un on Bloomberg Radio. All right, 539 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: time for the drive to the clothes. Let's get there 540 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: with Norm Calmly. He's CEO and c i O, Chief 541 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: investment officer at Jack Capital Management, looking after about one 542 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: and a half billion dollars. Joining us on the phone 543 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: from St. Louis, Norm, how are you. I'm doing well. 544 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Thank you. What does all this look like? 545 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: They're on the ground in St. Louis? Uh be are 546 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: we talking about we're talking about the crisis here, like 547 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the especially the health crisis. Yeah. Sure, so 548 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: you know here in St. Louis we are um, you know, 549 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: we're we're practicing a lot of social distancing. We've got 550 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: some state in county and local mandates that I think 551 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: of probably on the stricter side compared to many areas 552 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: of the country. We're not quite yet um as as 553 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: strict as for example, Los Angeles or over the last 554 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: couple of days, but probably a little bit a little 555 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: bit stricter than for example, you know, Georgia, uh, Colorado, 556 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: some other states like that. Uh. I know we'll get 557 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: to markets in the second as wealth manager, but I 558 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: do want to ask a follow up on that norm 559 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: and that um something that debates I think in the 560 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: market is that do you kind of need a lockdown 561 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: to then hurt economic growth or just the headlines are 562 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: enough to curb investor confidence and curb their spending and 563 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: make them stay home regardless of what the shutdown laws are. 564 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: And I wonder what you're noticing is you're kind of 565 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: like in the middle. Yeah. So so you know, I 566 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: think that there is a bit of pent up demand 567 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: from consumers. I mean, I've talked to a lot of 568 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: folks and I think you know, you may have also 569 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: that uh consumer. You know, savings rates have have gone 570 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: up during this crisis. I mean, it was just not 571 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: as many places over the last several months to spend money. Uh. 572 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: So we're seeing, you know, we're seeing some benefits on 573 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: the commerce side, uh and obviously delivery services. But um, yeah, 574 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: I think that for folks that are lucky enough to 575 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: to still have a job, and we know that there's 576 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of folks that don't, um, 577 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: there is some probably some pent up demand going on. 578 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: So um, you know, I don't know if I answer 579 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: your question. I think you know, any news that we're getting, 580 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: we're seeing some of it today that that you know, 581 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: there could be a light at the end of the 582 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: tunnel for for this is a positive light in the 583 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the tunnel, in the form of 584 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: a vaccine, right right, yeah, vaccine. I mean we you know, 585 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: we've got the you know, globally the smartest people in 586 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: the world working on a cure for this, and it 587 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: looks like, um, it looks like, you know, they're getting closer. 588 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: And in the meantime, um, you know, just reading things 589 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: from the CDC and listening to medical professionals, our abilities 590 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: collectively to treat cases when they arise, even in the 591 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: absence of a vaccine, appears to have improved pretty materially 592 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: over the last three to four months. Yeah. I think 593 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: that's right. And as you say, you know, all the 594 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: best minds focused on. This is probably in a way 595 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: that we've never seen over the course of human history, 596 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: certainly modern history. UM. So let's talk some names if 597 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: we can. I mean, one of the biggest debates I 598 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: feel like we're all having, and maybe it's not even 599 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: a debate at this point, is around retail online and 600 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: breaking mortar. How do you play this as an investor? 601 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: What names do you look at specifically or not look at? Yeah, so, 602 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, for for a number of years now, Um, 603 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, brick and mortar, mall based retail in particular 604 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: has been under pressure. You know, it's just hard to 605 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: compete with you know, next day delivery to day delivery 606 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: via Amazon Prime for example. But this crisis has really 607 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: accelerated it. And I don't have to go into a 608 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: lot of detail other than you know, we've seen J. C. 609 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: Penny go into bankruptcy, Neiman Marcus re enter bankruptcy. Um. 610 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: You know that the whole, the whole trend has been 611 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: accelerated and compressed because of because of the locked ms 612 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,239 Speaker 1: of physical retail across most of the country. I mean, 613 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: we own Amazon, we continue to like it. Uh, you know, 614 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: we think obviously they're clear beneficiary and you know of 615 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: the stay at home economy. Uh, and the stock has 616 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: reflected a lot of that. But I think in addition 617 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: to that, what what the CEO, Jeff Bezos has has 618 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: done is used this crisis as an opportunity to invest 619 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: more in their business and essentially were producing a um 620 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: a COVID proof if I could use that term, supply 621 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: chain and within the Amazon ecosystem, and you know, spending 622 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: four billion dollars. Uh, you know it is what he's 623 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: announced that they're going to be studying in the current 624 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: quarter on this. Gosh, it's just it's really hard for 625 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: other retailers, certainly physical retailers to to match that. So normal. 626 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: Are you at all playing the recovery trade? Because I 627 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: understand on the fundamental ways what you're saying about Amazon 628 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: is also obviously caught up in the tech rally that 629 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: we've seen except for the last few days. Are you 630 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: doing the recovery bit? Um? Yeah, you know that's interesting. 631 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: You may be reading our mail or we've been talking 632 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: about it internally with our team. UM. I guess the 633 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: short answer is, uh, we are playing the recovery of 634 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: that to the extent to which our process and and uh, 635 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, our long standing process allows us to do so. 636 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: So you know, we're growth investors. UM. There are probably 637 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: a lot of really good values UM that will be 638 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: a parent certainly in hindsight, say six or twelve months 639 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: from now, that go into that recovery basket. So you 640 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: could look at you know, for example, distressed travel related companies. 641 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: Uh maybe you know some of them all based retailers 642 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: that are going to survive. You know, they're really cheap. 643 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: That's not our game, though. We let our our value 644 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: brethren brethren, uh pick those really cheap stocks that are 645 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: going to ultimately work their way out of distress and 646 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: and and uh and recover. Um.

Lulu Lemon Uh, 656 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: that's been a fascinating name to watch in many cases 657 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: and maybe has defied some expectations throughout this Maybe it's 658 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: everybody working in you know, leggings.
