In this week’s episode, we explore a range of topics that are shaping the world today. We begin with the aftermath of the Baltimore bridge collapse and discuss the challenges faced by those affected by the disaster. Next, we examine legal challenges to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new climate disclosure rule and how it may impact investors and companies alike. Finally, we delve into how China maintains an advantage by identifying as a developing country.
Our guest for this episode is Liya Palagashvili from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, who shares her insights on job trends, the distinction between full-time and part-time work, contract and gig work, California’s Assembly Bill 5 experiment, recent actions from the Department of Labor, and the importance of flexible benefits for all workers.
In our previous episodes, we have tackled a variety of topics such as paying for organs, defending election integrity, free markets and the common good, being politically homeless, federal tech, federalism, understanding AI, public health, and economic freedom culture.
