What about front line workers? Are we just forgetting about them? Join the discussion as Mark and Clayton offer their thoughts on Masked vs. Unmasked.

Air tickets and hotels for the Biden-Harris inauguration in January are in short supply and prices are climbing.

Joe Brancatelli is a travel blogger/columnist and Mark is a big fan of his pay-to-read website, JoeSentMe.com. Joe has noticed that hotels are cutting Covid corners.
