The NeoLiberal Round

This a trailer to the upcoming series and Season 4 Episode 17 of The Podcast. It promises to be very interesting and worth listening to. 

Question: What's Life Like Living in Philadelphia or your city? We are doing a new series where we engage people in communities and cities by interviewing random individuals in various city neighborhoods asking that question. Today we feature Philadelphia, where we took to the streets and interviewed several individuals, young people, couples, men and women, people from all walks of life and demographics; and even young men on the corners, people in the suburbs and well-to-do places and those in the hood. We interviewed, professionals, students, those with and without jobs and people hoping to make it big. It was an extraordinarily interesting podcast episode where people provided diagnosis and prognosis of their city as they reflect on the positives, negatives and challenges of living in Philly. But what is powerful is that people were more than eager to talk about life in the city and seem to have a sense of what has gone wrong and how we can fix it or they wonder how they can. Nevertheless, what was powerful is their need for conversation and community which many feel is a thing of the past or slowly decaying as we lose our sense of brotherly and sisterly love. Listen to the interviews on the show today and please do share your own stories irrespective of what city you live in. We will continue the series by exploring What's Life Like Living in your city and we will also do several other series looking at What's its like doing Uber in your city? What's it like going to school in your city? What's it like Policing in your city? What's it like doing business in Philly? What's medical care like in your city...etc.?

Question: Was PM Andrew Holness’ Address to the UN General Assembly Inappropriate and Misplaced? 

Recently, Hon. Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica, gave a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York, where he said illegal guns usually flow into the hands of marginalized youths in developing countries like Jamaica. But my question is, if the marginalized youths are poor and they cannot afford a legal gun, which for them is the only way out of poverty and provides a sense of power, then how do we expect to effectively stop the spiraling murder wave, reduce gun violence by minimizing the illegal flow of guns to this vulnerable groups without first dealing with their sense of powerlessness and their poverty? Moreover, if illegal guns usually flow into the hands of the poor, that is an observation that has been supported by studies that show the relationship between the gun, the illegal use of it in poor marginalized communities not just in Jamaica, but in black and brown communities all over the world. According to the story in the Jamaica Gleaner, entitled: “Holness enlist UN help to stem influx of illegal guns, murder wave,”

PRIME MINISTER Andrew Holness has called for an international “war on guns” to end the influx of illegal weapons and epidemic of murders in Jamaica. “In the same way that a war on drugs is being prosecuted, in which we have been faithful partners in policing what comes through our waters or leaves our shores, there now needs to be a war on guns.” Holness pleaded as he addressed the 77th session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York on Thursday. The Jamaican leader urged for pressure to be placed on international gun manufacturers to institute stronger measures to prevent the illegal flow of weapons into the hands of poor, marginalized youth in developing countries like Jamaica. “In the same way there is concern about illegal drugs on the streets of rich countries, there must be concern about guns on the streets of developing countries like Jamaica,” Holness asserted, (Hinds, L. 2022. Holness enlists UN help to stem influx of illegal guns, murder wave | News | Jamaica Gleaner (jamaica-gleaner.com) 

This request by the PM seems absolutely ridiculous and inappropriate. It looks childish and pathetic. Jamaica doesn't make its own laws about what comes into its own country. It does not have any control over its importers and suppliers of goods and services? Further, guns don't kill people, people kill people! Moreover, to appeal to rich countries having guns on their streets as a way to provide support for equal cause for concern of guns on Jamaican streets is far-fetched incomparable. How is he here comparing apples with tomatoes? So where does the answer lie? The answer resides in reducing poverty and raising incomes and providing more opportunities. However, this can only happen when Jamaica becomes more competitive and expands its capabilities which will need short term investments over the long-term with some sacrifices coupled with investments in education to make every Jamaica not just literate but competitive. We need to get the diaspora more involved and become more strategic with this endeavor. 

To make a request like this at such an even is a missed opportunity and an inappropriate request. That request can be handled by the local as it is a local issue that speaks to local laws and protections. We need funds  investments to increase Jamaica's capabilities and that is what we should always ask for. Put your priorities where the greatest needs reside.

Question: What's great about events like the G-Town Radio Day of Festival? Local communities continue to facilitate neighborhood engagement and awareness as they transcend the violence and social decay gripping their communities. We visited the G-town Community Radio station 92.9 FM's "Day of Festival", event where they had their annual community event in which local vendors, musicians, business people, professionals and residents came together to share food, fun and fellowship; with music, dance and explosion of talent.

"Fame isn't anything but trouble," "I fault him," "It's "tragic," "It's crazy bro.," "He was a humble guy," "People that sing about positive energy live longer...." "I feel hurt." What are your feelings towards "PnB Rock's" killing, and what dos the P and B in "PnB Rock" mean? We took to the streets in Germantown and Lasalle University Philadelphia to ask people from the local community where PnB Rock is from to get their opinions and feelings concerning his death. Several residents, mainly younger men between 16 - 31, shared their fondest memories and why his death hit home so powerfully. In fact, Germantown just had two separate killings over the last few days, and now they are mourning the death of one of their icons and ambassadors, PNB Rock. We share the views and the stories on the show today. Towards the end of the podcast episode we had a small group discussion with several young adult individuals, males and females, bout PnB Rock's passing and it was quite chilling. We also learned what the P and B in "PnB Rock" mean. Do you know?

How can we move beyond the violence and health risks and come together as community? And who was the best US President that Black Americans ever had? This Episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast features another Street Vibe, Pulse Of The Street, where we engaged two community gatherings in Philadelphia PA, in which community people had gathered in solidarity, moving beyond the violence that's gripping their streets. We interviewed several community organizers, activists, business people, retirees, young and old, Pastors and professionals. We stopped at two events, the first was at The Men Who Care of Germantown. The second was at Peace on The Waters Ministries in Wister/Chelten area of North Philadelphia. During the events we interviewed two prominent African Americans in the community, an older gentleman "Ducky" and a younger gentleman, Vodka. Donald Ducky Johnson is a successful and among the first black Business owners in Camden NJ and North Philadelphia, a Former NAACP organizer and leader who has worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Jesse Jackson, PUSH etc. He is the author of "The Risk Taker." That interview was quite powerful as he talked about his life, journey and history of the NAACP in Philadelphia and Camden. He shares several powerful wise words to his fellow brothers and sisters, and explains why he believes that President Johnson was the best President Black People has ever had. We went back to Men Who Care of Germantown towards the end of the show and interviewed the Rapper and Actor, VODKA, a local Philadelphian who is prominent, up and coming. We share a piece of his performance and interviewed him briefly. Vodka will be in the the new film "Once Upon A Time In Philly".

Today's episode comments on a Breaking News Story where assailants using an AK47 gunned down another black brother in Germantown Philadelphia. We explore the impact and causes of this and consider possible solutions to the rise in gun violence despite Biden's recent move to ban or limit AK-47s and the use of certain high powered weapons. But this killing seem to be a revenge shooting or one that involved a beef because of the way the shooting was done. 

This episode is broken up into four main segments:

Segment 1: Breaking News: Another Murder in Germantown Philadelphia, Come Close to Home.

Segment 2: How Banks & Bookstores Help to Perpetuate Poverty and maintains Income Inequality in Society

Participate in our community question by considering the question: How do Banks & Bookstores Help to Perpetuate Poverty and maintain Income Inequality in Society?

“I am Not A Hypocrite, I am Human,” is the title of T. L. Jackson's book, a successful businesswoman and powerful person of faith with an inspirational story of how one can realize purpose through the pain which is the title of her next book.

Question: There are many local talents in your community that we usually miss for various reasons. Why don't local stores carry local talent? We explore this in the episode today and ask that question on our Spotify and Anchor community page that you may respond to.

The episode also featured a guest, Marvin, who was with us on the show and shared with us, as he also gets ready to share his own story about how one can go from death-row to being freed and fully adjusted so that he is giving back to society and even investing in others to realize their goals. Marvin is the Uncle of Ms. Jackson who lives in a beautiful section of Philadelphia close to the suburbs in Mount Airy. But she tells you how her near death experiences from several bank robberies at her own banks and the trauma that followed affected her life in a positive way and how one must follow the leading of the Divine even when others don't understand it and question your decision making based on this Divine impetus.

She discussed her journey from Banking to being a Business woman in Philadelphia to now an author and where she gets her inspiration. She talked about the difficulty of gaining access in local Philadelphia Book stores who only publish “Big Name” books or if one is connected to the owners of the bookstore. Nevertheless, she stated that her book was self-published, but later picked up an hybrid Christian publisher and the book is now available in audible, paperback or hardcover on Apple, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and T. L. Jackson's website - Author T.L. Jackson | Sharing Stories That Inspire and Empower! (authortljackson.com)

Towards the end of the episode T. L. and I pray and offer words of encouragement and motivation, and shares how to overcome challenges and realize next level success.
