1.12 - Inescapable Podcast - Trust Collapse

from Inescapable · host Benjamin Grundy & Aaron Wright

Something has shifted. Content creators are burning out, Australians are stuck in survival mode, and a Victorian-era melancholy has settled over the West. We get into why. India has overtaken England as Australia's biggest source of migrants, and questions of cohesion, identity and social trust are getting harder to dismiss. We examine how low-trust cultures get imported at scale, what happens when enough people stop playing by the rules, and what holds a society together once trust begins to erode. In Plus we cover a stack of stories the mainstream media buried, ignored, or got completely wrong. Diaspora influence, street violence, and a political class unwilling to confront what rapid demographic change actually produces. We also look at the Fuentes assault charge that got dropped, Johannesburg erupting over mass immigration, and a Canadian military platoon that's 83% non-citizens and already falling apart.  WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO Links Landmark shift as India overtakes England to become Australia's biggest source of migrants - with 32 per cent of the population now born overseas | Daily Mail Online "Australia is now home to more people born in India than any other overseas nation.

Elon, Inc. Bloomberg Elon Musk’s sprawling business empire has granted the billionaire a degree of power and global influence that transcends the industries he’s reshaped. He is the leader of no fewer than six hugely influential companies, spanning electric vehicles to wartime communications, and their innovations could shape the fates of nations. Musk is polarizing, confounding and inescapable. And he is the biggest business story of our time. Each week, listen in as host David Papadopoulos convenes a panel of Bloomberg Businessweek journalists who are tracking Musk’s companies and the surprising ways they intersect. They break down the business mogul's latest moves and analyze what they could mean for us all.
