1/29/26 4PM: They’re Coming

Dr. Ken opens the show with a sobering Truth titled “They’re Coming,” connecting massive corporate layoffs — including Amazon’s cuts — to Milwaukee’s long-standing Black employment crisis. He explains how automation and “efficiency” narratives hide the real fallout: families losing income, stability, and futures. While overall unemployment may look average, Dr. Ken reminds listeners that Black unemployment in Milwaukee remains among the worst in the nation due to decades of structural inequities. The conversation expands to planned obsolescence, corporate accountability, and whether communities are being pushed — or pushing themselves — out of opportunity. Calls from Sandra and Al keep the debate raw and real as Dr. Ken challenges Milwaukee to prepare, retrain, and build before the next wave hits.
