They cover a wide range of arguments and strategic considerations such as basic economic concepts to be familiar with, misconceptions about the FJG and econ impacts in LD, how COVID affects the topic, to what extent affirmative specification is legitimate, which aff advantages are best poised against most counterplans, and which neg counterplans are the most strategic.
