Short Read of the Week for April 29, 2021

Our first-choice article in this morning's Short Read of the Week meeting was, oddly enough, based on JP Morgan’s most recent message to its clients, which effectively counters the right-wing narrative about the negative economic effects of Biden’s presidency. JP Morgan says that Biden's proposed tax increases will not drive a big dip in earnings, and notes that in the last 75 years Democratic presidents' average S&P 500 return was more than double the average return of Republican presidents. Biden is leading even that pack.

Our second choice was based in part on the strange absence of this disturbing story in local media outlets:
