On today’s show, we’ll dig into former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson’s column in Foreign Affairs about how to keep the dollar strong. Plus, Big Tech’s new work-from-home reality check and some useful euphemisms for “President Trump lied.”

Here are some links to what we talked about today:

• “The Future of the Dollar” in Foreign Affairs

• “A Churchill ‘Quote’ That U.S. Politicians Will Never Surrender” from NPR

• “Zuckerberg says employees moving out of Silicon Valley may face pay cuts” from CNBC

• “New York Times’ style guide substitutions for ‘the president lied‘ ” in McSweeney’s
