*sounds of railways* The sounds you are hearing are sounds that I've always known. It's the sound of trains, crucial for travel and commerce, sounds of a healthy community. *sounds of forks clanking, plates, etc* But lately, the folks of Heels Flat, Missipetucky have been hearing other sounds. Sounds that maybe suggest that things aren't as rosy as their 15% unemployment statistics may suggest. *Sounds of: people chatting, vague racial slurs and "those people" can be discerned* *Speaking: Hosiah Reynolds>> "Been livin here all my life, since I done moved here when I was 46. Things I'm hearin' now. . . well it just gets you thinking bout those kinds of people, you know. Sometimes... sometimes you just don't know" Reynolds, now 49, credits a host of social ills on a new phenomenon. Where there were the sounds of trains, now Heels Flat hears... something new. *a distant noise comes under the train, gradually increasing in volume until the song is clear and loud* A new train operated by a colorful, Spanish speaking, conductor is causing waves. Some locals call it the Beanertown Express... and it's tearing the once-homogenous township apart with allegations..... .. .... of racism.

In the next hour, we examine the human cost of recent banking industry scandals. Don, an 8 figure earning executive, may face cutbacks to his salary and future earnings. Marta, a Balinese immigrant who is contracted to clean the bank's penthouse, is also probably facing some kind of self-inflicted money woes. We'll hear how Don plans to fight back, next, on Money Hour.

"Former bartender turned recent government employee Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez noted that the slight increase in taxes for wealthy Americans might help offset the enormous costs of not allowing people to die though she did not address allegations that such a socialist policy would be rendered unconstitutional. Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle, Genius Wonderkid and Policy Maverick, Paul Ryan, who served as a Vice President candidate before his tenure as a wildly popular and influential Speaker of the House of Representatives, noted that it was unlikely that Ms. Cortez had worked out the particulars of such a plan. "It's not just something you can scribble on the back of a cocktail napkin", he added."

UltraRed posted:Hello podcast listeners, it's Ira Glass In act one she'll talk about how hard it was for people in religious communities to accept her message. In act two, she wrestles with being an inclusive feminist and a good ally. Then in act three, tragedy, when some college kids ask her to be more mindful. This leads her down a path to the alt-right, eventually dicking down with someone who, just 3 weeks prior, was harassing her online. The afterwards is a bunch of wondering why her old friends suddenly don't talk to her"

Vato posted:Chicano works perfectly well. If you are Honduran, you can say that. This new thing is silly. In fact, a bunch of the MEChA folks voted to remove Chicano-Aztlan from the name and charter because they felt it was alienating. But on the other hand it is a self-designed refferrant so anyone that feels sympathy or a connection can adopt it.

Welcome to today's show. My guests are some centrists who won't compromise on any progress and want to drag us backwards to appease flyover country. First topic: the janitor at my condo refuses to help move heavy items. Why have unions made the American worker so complicit with inaction? Guest 1: Perhaps if we tied immigration with job performance... FilthyImp fucked around with this message at 21:27 on May 28, 2019 |

Today on Fresh AIr, the radical new Environment Tax that is sweeping congress. Could we one day tax people for having children? *clip* Well, naturally there would be a means test of some sort... I imagine if, say, the family had less than $1 million in savings, the impact of their children would be substantial

I'm Ardie Hemm-Zenwich and this is Market Trends *upbeat Apple iMovie filler music* Today we're on location, in Los Angeles, chasing down a disturbing reality. The American dream, the great melting pot, finds its counter-point in enclaves of unassimilated residents. Here today, we explore the economic terror of... Chinatown. *clip of expert* Unheard of. Literally unique in American history, this idea that you could just establish into a place for your own ethnic or ideological comfort without adopting the practices and laws of the people there... the Pilgrims would be turning over in their graves if they had seen this. *ignores scores of Dutch, German and other assorted European enclaves in the East and Midwest*

I'm Elaiena Madrigal-Jœhåneussįn, here with some Boomer Bullshit. My guest tonight is, like, Mitt Romney but somehow whiter. Guest, we've heard a lot recently about the concept of the "Free Ride" in the educational market, proposed by Bernie-- *guest harumphs derisively * --Bernie Sanders. What do you see as the biggest barrier to education for these students. Guest: Well, definitely, that American need to strive for better. Kids nowadays just... well they just want things handed to them. The best schools. The best scholarships. But do they work for them? That's the thing, as a College Freshman I took a job for a week at the local Gas N Pump. I earned just over $159 dollars and that covered my tuition, books, dorm, social expenses and cafeteria bill through graduate school. And the kids now just don't, anymore.

doctorfrog posted:Yeah that perked my ears up. Then they did a story about how they finally called a racist thing racist. It’s news that news is calling things what they are this one time. Maybe it’ll continue. Nancy Pelosi does it (albeit from the pulpit) and suddenly it's everywhere.

In the next hour, we'll speak with Mayo Whitman, an investor in Compton who is opening an organic restaurant with family styled seating and is attracting a new clientele. "The area was just so... rich with history and just.. you know... deprived of culture that took advantage of that. So my restaurant invites people into the neighborhood, invites them to sit at a table and have a conversation."

Today on This American Life, the Rat Race. Act One: we'll meet a young woman who was on top of the world. Fast cars, luxury homes, and a guaranteed ticket to an early retirement... until that all went away. We'll hear about how this changed her outlook on life. Act 2: send in the cheese. A UCLA researcher talks to us about stress. Then to close it off, in Act 3, the surprising way traffic jams may be making you a better person.

Cessna posted:Also NPR: But is it really racism? If is the partisan divide that's the real problem? Later, a bunch of NIMBY fucks vetoed a Homeless Shelter in Koreatown last year. Now, why local leaders are up in arms about the growth in homeless populations and the city's inaction. You'll hear from a resident that was very much against "those people" bring "crime, drug use and those kinds of problems "to Koreatown, and how he now gives sandwiches to homeless people and maybe holds up a "KTOWN Chooses LOVE" poster to show he cares.
