This week on Heard Tell: Twice On Sunday
Heard Tell favorite, and Ordinary Times contributor Jericho Hill who joins us to talk about the economy in very practical, real life ways. Jericho talks about the weird, unusal, and seemingly contradictory economic numbers and headlines, what is causing them, and what it all means. Plus, we get into some really practical economic application based of a hiring advertisement at a popular fast food chain, and what it tells us about workers, employers, labor market, and the current issues in the service sector economy.
Sarah Stook who returns to Heard Tell to conclude her series on the First Ladies of the United States. We talk through the modern era of women of the White House from Jackie Kennedy to current occupent Dr. Jill Biden, and the history, stories, and personalities of the first ladies in between. Sarah also talks about how the role has evolved over the year, media and public perseptions have changed, and what the future might hold for the evolving role of being the spouse to the president.
Elise Amez-Droz who brings her experience with health care policy to talk about the looming insolvency of the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, the funding mechanism for Medicare Part A, and how the date of that failure keeps moving closure with current events. Elise explains what got us to this point, why no one seems willing to talk about or do anything to avert the crisis, and what it means for the country if the "trust fund" fails.
James Czerniawski is back to once again hash out the ongoing Elon Musk v Twitter saga we've been covering - not to mention news and social media has been obsessing over - since April. James breaks down not only the tech side, but how a unique part of the legal system now has control of what happens next, where Twitter goes from here, and what we should have learned from the months of headlines and controversies. James also delves into the cultural side of the story, and how mixing politics, culture, and tech is something we will be seeing more and more of not only in the headlines but also in campaigns, legislation, and regulation.
Jakob Puckett who returns to talk energy policy, gas prices, and the plan - or lack there of - to ease increasing concerns the public has about the current crisis. Jakob discusses how the Biden Administration, like the Trump Administration before it, is seeking to use the Defense Production Act and executive orders to try and mitigate costs, but explains how that is not only a bad idea but also no substitute for consistent energy policy. We also talk gas prices, nuclear energy, and the recent Supreme Court decision in WV v EPA.
