Okay, listeners. So this is the third episode that I am devoting either partially or fully to the students that were defrauded by Globe University and the Minnesota School of Business, run by Terry Myhre. I am captivated by what is happening with this story because I have been hoping and hoping that the students would eventually get their fraudulent loans forgiven and their tuition reimbursed. Although they won’t get that time back that they spent pursuing a degree that was not from an accredited university, I was hoping that they would at least get monetarily compensated. So did they? Listen and see. Also, I thought I would talk a little bit about student loan debt and some recent developments in that area from the Biden administration.
Learning about student loan debt, loan forgiveness and more? It’s a big job. Let’s get started.

From the Statement of Solidarity published by the Asian American Leader’s Table on 9/11/2021, Helen Zia and others talked about the need to create “a culture of abundance that assumes there is enough freedom, enough humanity for all of us.” This is Helen Zia’s lifelong crusade- to fight for the rights of Asian people, the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized groups. I’m excited to talk about another living legend who is a historical figure already and is still fighting for change. Learning about Helen Zia? It’s actually not such a big job- Helen is pretty amazing! Let’s get started.

Okay, so sometimes, dear listeners, I have lots of questions that I think would be fun to talk about. I write all these ideas down, and as I’m setting up my future episodes, I realize that these ideas are not enough for full episodes. So I wondered for a while what to do with them. At some point I just decided to put a bunch of them in one episode. In doing this, dear listeners, I hope you’re not just being subjected to my mind’s random meanderings. Or, if that is what this is, I hope at least it’s enjoyable. Contact me on my website, determineourfuture.com, if it’s not and let me know, okay?
Continuing to learn all your life? It’s a big job, but this one is fun! Let’s get started.

Okay, DOF listeners, buckle up. We are about to learn so much about discrimination in the housing market in the US. Gene Slater has served as senior advisor on housing for federal, state, and local agencies for over forty years. Gene co-founded and chairs CSG Advisors, a long-time leading advisor on affordable housing. In the aftermath of the financial crisis in 2009, Gene helped design the program by which the United States Treasury financed homes for 110,000 first-time buyers. Gene has earned college degrees from Columbia, MIT, and Stanford. The book that I am excited to talk about today is “Freedom to Discriminate: How Realtors Conspired to Segregate Housing and Divide America.” This book is scheduled to be released this month, September 2021, and has rave reviews from experts in these fields. Let’s jump in!

So short intro today, dear listeners. I wanted to dig into white collar crime, and why there is so much less stigma for the crime itself and those who are prosecuted and convicted of these crimes. It’s also a mystery to me why these crimes are pursued with much less resources than other types of crimes. Also, perpetrators are punished with much less jail or prison time, if any, except in the most extreme cases, when there is a large public outcry. Learning more about white collar crime? It is a lot bigger job than you might think. Let’s get started.

An article about The Good Boys, the movie Sumi and I talked about: https://www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/movies/this-r-rated-comedy-about-12-year-old-boys-is-raunchy-vulgar-funny--and-surprisingly-sweet/2019/08/14/16f08d86-b954-11e9-b3b4-2bb69e8c4e39_story.html
I’m excited to add to my knowledge- and of course your knowledge, listeners- of parenting issues and how to help our kids in any way we can. Sumi Mukherjee is on the show today!
