The important and relevant question is: “What do you do with the anger and disappointment?” We kickstart this essay with a reconsideration of a January 2019 BlackEconomics.org Commentary entitled, “No Longer a Credible Threat.” It is less than one and […]
The Science of Loss Reversal
BlackEconomics.org® As we watched former US Presidential Candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris deliver her concession speech just a couple of days back, we saw that she and those in the audience at Howard University wore considerable hurt on their faces.
