This podcast examines a situation where you have made prior principled commitments to a position but now find yourself faced with practical circumstances which put those principles at risk.
The Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) was 2020 government program available to businesses and organizations, primarily in response to the economic damage done by Covid-19 slowdowns, shut-downs, and lock-downs.
Advocates of the free market found themselves in difficult circumstances due to the shutdowns during Covid. PPP was a life preserver offered by the government, the very entity which brought about the shutdowns. Should you take the money or stand on principle? Dr. Hicks looks at the arguments and principles--notably, justice, integrity and productiveness-- that must be considered in a complex situation.
This podcast is about Covid and PPP, but is about more than that.
