Episode 267 Audio: Griffin Davis
from Krystal Kyle & Friends Hosted by Krystal Kyle & Friends
We have the fabulous Breaking Points producer Griffin Davis joining us on the show this week, Besides the possibility of a successful left-wing Tea Party, the continuing urgency of abolishing ICE, we also on the absolutely essential historical context missing from Camila Cabelo’s recent comments on the suffering in Cuba. In fact, hearing that someone had made such a comment, you might be inclined to assume that they had the decades-long US embargo of Cuba front of mind. It’s isolated Cuba and deprived it of essential resources, and, maintained by Democratic and Republican presidents, it stems from ongoing Cold War red-scaring and the usual US extractionist imperialism. But no! Cabelo’s criticism was for the Castro government and its inheritors, and we talk about what’s wrong with this picture. AI regulation is more of an imperative than ever, and the discussion of the threat of automation taking jobs from workers in a country without UBI came well before AI. But the advent of ever more sophisticated forms of AI has moved its reach into the white-collar workforce, and as it strengthens its stranglehold on increasingly vast swaths of American industry, the time is now to protect jobs and legislate against economic monopoly. We talk about all of this and more. Thanks for tuning in! You can listen to this podcast on major streaming platforms, like Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more. This is a public episode.
