In the first segment, I discuss the events that led to New York City taxi drivers going on a hunger strike. I explain why these drivers are being crushed by a lifetime of debt, how the City allowed this to happen, and how this story interconnects with other stories happening around the country. In my guest segment, I am joined by Will Sutherland. Will is a graduate student at Montana State University. He joins the podcast to discuss his research into nuclear fusion, why it's not currently be funded, and how it could change the entire world's energy supply.
