On this week’s edition of The Breakdown Weekly Recap, NLW argues the big story of the week was actually a set of smaller stories that preview the faultlines and economic debates likely to absorb us in the coming months.

These include:

• The Federal Reserve signaling that fiscal stimulus needs to do more

• The introduction of the “not safe to vote” narrative
• The Big Tech vs. The World fight
• The beginning of coronavirus lawsuits
• Back to school
• Jobless claims getting worse
• Kodak and reshoring
