UAWIL #305: Scott Holiday on Topology

We at The Wolf are very proud to welcome back Scott Holiday to talk about The Wolf's favorite album of 2026 - his new solo album Topology. Created out of music Scott wrote intending to utilize with his world touring band Rival Sons, Scott never intended to make a solo record. But over time pieces he created eventually felt like something that wasn't RS but more personal to Scott. And with help from his RS bandmate Mike Miley (drums) and Jesse Nalen (keyboards) created Topology - the record The Wolf didn't know he needed and thinks you'll love. Holiday (band name stylized HOL1D4Y) creates atmosphere through a pallet of hard rock guitars with spacey and ambient keyboards that lets the mind wander. And with titles like Holotropic, Veridream, Panoptic and Autonomatic, the stage is set for your own self exploration; that is, after you've gone to the internet to look up Astrovore, Paratma and Ataraxia. As you might expect, Scott does sing lead vocals on the six songs that have them but he also plays bass throughout and lays down some wonderful grooves that let everything he and Jesse do over them that much better. The album might just be anchored by the instrumentals which is a non-starter for a lot of rock fans. But the 70s prog of Constellations and the track of the album Crism, which over 12 minutes emits Floydian and No Quarter-ish moods, give the listener the opportunity to make the meaning of the tracks their own, unimpeded by a vocal narrative. Scott tells a great story about Miley providing the drums for the epic and building the song around the drum track - amazing! As we've grown our show over the last 6 years we've communed with many like minded people from around the globe and we are thankful for our rock community. In 2023, we met Scott Holiday as he was promoting his band Rival Sons latest album, Darkfighter (Ep 130). We were admittedly late to the Rival Sons party but love their brand of hard and melodic rock. But when we received an advance copy of Scott's solo album Topology, we were immediately hooked by its psychedelic and atmospheric vibe. The Wolf may sound like a "fanboy" during parts of our chat with Scott but it's hard for an older rocker to find new music that he likes - when we do find it, we're happy to shout about it. It was hard to sit on this album for 2 months but we're psyched for the world to hear it and we could have talked to Scott for hours. Go buy Topology today!

Matt Brown spent his career inside the national security world without ever wearing a uniform. He came up through grad school and think tank work in DC, earned a TS/SCI clearance, and landed in the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy working the counter-WMD mission. From there he moved to the State Department. In August 2023 he walked into a Senate committee, signed his real name, and became a whistleblower on UAP. His report on a program called Immaculate Constellation was later entered into the congressional record. Today he co-runs Vanguard Enterprise, a nonprofit built to support the people who came forward after him. This conversation covers what pushed him over the edge. He says he saw transcripts showing the director of the Pentagon's UAP office was not telling senators the truth. He explains how the counter-WMD mission gave him a legitimate reason to see collection on objects around nuclear assets, and what he saw on those systems, from small orbs going in and out of water to a large triangle and a boomerang that disappeared behind its own light.  We cover the reality of blowing the whistle inside the IC, the retaliation he describes, and the questions he thinks Congress should be asking now.  Today's Sponsors:  Toehold: https://www.shoptoehold.com Use code "Andy" for 15% off at checkout   Ethos:  Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a million-dollar verdict for pregnancy discrimination gets slashed to a mere fraction of its original value? In this riveting episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, Mark Carey takes you behind the scenes of the landmark case involving Jennifer Guerrero and Constellation Health Services, LLC. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complex world of employment law, especially when it comes to understanding the nuances of pregnancy discrimination. Guerrero's story is not just about a legal battle; it's a profound lesson in employee rights, workplace culture, and the often harsh realities faced by those who dare to stand up against discrimination in the workplace. We delve deep into the legal intricacies surrounding the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the critical importance of the interactive process between employers and employees when requests for reasonable accommodation are made. Guerrero's high-risk pregnancy and her termination shortly after requesting medical leave raise essential questions about the responsibilities of employers and the protections afforded to employees. This episode sheds light on how emotional narratives can sway jury decisions but ultimately must adhere to the rigid frameworks of employment law, leading to unexpected outcomes that can leave employees feeling disenfranchised. Throughout this episode, we emphasize the importance of understanding the legal mechanisms at play in employment disputes, particularly regarding pregnancy discrimination, disability rights in the workplace, and the broader implications of workplace harassment and discrimination. With insights into severance negotiation, termination for cause, and navigating hostile work environments, this episode provides invaluable resources for employees facing work disputes and employment law issues. Join us as we unpack the profound implications of Guerrero's case, illustrating how the aftermath of a lawsuit can starkly differ from initial perceptions of justice. This episode is designed not only to inform but also to empower you, equipping you with the knowledge and tools necessary to advocate for your rights in the workplace. Whether you're an employee seeking guidance on navigating employment contracts, a manager looking to foster a more inclusive work culture, or simply someone interested in the evolving landscape of employment law, you won't want to miss this enlightening discussion. Don't let the complexities of employment law intimidate you; tune in to this episode of the Employee Survival Guide® and take the first step towards understanding your rights and navigating the challenges of the modern workplace!  If you enjoyed this episode of the Employee Survival Guide please like us on Facebook, X and LinkedIn.  We would really appreciate if you could leave a review of this podcast on your favorite podcast player such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Leaving a review will help other employees find the Employee Survival Guide.  For more information, please contact our employment attorneys at Carey & Associates, P.C. at 203-255-4150, www.capclaw.com.Disclaimer:  For educational use only, not intended to be legal advice.

Your Q4 plan starts one step too late (+ the 3 calls I'd make instead)

Everyone's Q4 plan starts with what they're going to add. Black Friday, the launch, the revenue target, the content. I think that starts one step too late. Before you add anything to October, November or December, the question worth asking is what your business already costs you on a completely ordinary Tuesday. Because whatever you add to Q4 gets added to the week you've already got, not the week you'd have if things were calmer. In this episode I take you through one client's business, 11 months on from the smallest change I've made in a client's business. We changed which half of the day she works on her own stuff. Her prices, the way her offers get delivered and what she hands over all moved after that, and none of it would have held without the part nobody sees, which is the same question asked every Monday for eleven months. Then I give you three calls I'd make for this quarter, with the dates behind each one. Why October to the middle of November is a review window rather than a build window, with Venus retrograde from 3 October and Mercury from 24 October. Why Black Friday gets designed backwards from December, with Mars moving into Virgo the day before it. And what December sets up for next year, as Saturn and Neptune both turn forward. Your job for the week is one job, and it needs a week of noticing rather than an afternoon of planning. I'm Holly, an operational business astrologer. Your birth chart is the instructions, and I turn them into decisions about how your business actually runs: what you sell, what you charge, when you work, what gets handed over and when you launch.

Episode No. 776 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Mark Thomas Gibson and curator Ben Colman. The Tang Museum at Skidmore College is presenting "Mark Thomas Gibson: We Are a Constellation," a survey of Gibson's recent considerations of US history and the relationship between our past and our present. The exhibition was curated by Ian Berry in collaboration with the artist and is on view through January 3, 2027. Gibson's work is also featured in  "The Crossing: Picturing the American Revolution" at the Michener Art Museum, Doylestown, Penn. "The Crossing" looks at how artists have represented Continental Army commander-in-chief George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night, 1776. "The Crossing" is particularly interested in how artists have built on and often 'refuted' Emanuel Leutze's famed 1851 Washington Crossing the Delaware, which is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The exhibition, which was curated by Laura Igoe, is up through January 10, 2027. An exhibition of Gibson's recent work opens at Philadelphia's Fleisher/Ollman Gallery tomorrow, and remains on view through November 7. Among the institutions that have presented solo shows of Gibson's work are the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Library Company of Philadelphia, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Colman is the curator of "Georgia O'Keeffe: Architecture" at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Across about 35 paintings, the exhibition examines O'Keeffe's career-long interest in buildings and the built environment. It's on view through January 3, 2007. The DIA has published a catalogue that is available from Amazon and Bookshop for $32-34. Instagram: Mark Thomas Gibson, Ben Colman, Tyler Green. Air date: September 17, 2026.

In this second part of a two-episode conversation, Todd Snitchler, president and CEO of the Electric Power Supply Association (EPSA), returns with hosts John Povilaitis and Alan Seltzer. The trio takes a closer look at EPSA's Competitive Power Principles and specifically the organization's commitment to evolving the resource mix. Snitchler outlines how EPSA members have long owned diverse fleets and warns against states that have “bet the farm” on a single resource type. Instead, Snitchler argues, a diverse mix of sources – from natural gas and renewables to battery storage and nuclear – is key to continued supply reliability and price competitiveness. On nuclear, Snitchler notes that EPSA's members own the largest nuclear fleets in the country, and he spotlights a number of recent project successes, including Constellation's Crane Clean Energy Center and Vistra's deal with Meta. He also discusses the bipartisan support for nuclear projects at the federal level, including funding announcements by the U.S. Department of Energy.Povilaitis and Seltzer shift the conversation to a discussion on “speed to connectivity,” to which Snitchler highlights how efforts by Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania are leading the way in eliminating barriers to infrastructure development and accelerating the build-out of increased power generation. The episode closes with a focus on climate concerns, as Snitchler describes how competitive markets have driven significant emissions reductions by retiring older, higher-emitting units and encouraging the deployment of newer, more efficient and lower-emitting plants.To learn more about EPSA, visit https://epsa.org/To learn more about Todd Snitchler, visit https://epsa.org/about-epsa/our-staff/snitchler/To learn more about John Povilaitis, visit https://www.bipc.com/john-povilaitisTo learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzer

Why does the American flag use stars to represent the states? In The Star-Spangled Republic: Political Astronomy and the Rise of the American Constellation (U Virginia Press, 2025), Eran Shalev answers this and many other questions, considering the cosmic imagery—so familiar today but so peculiar on reflection—that suffused the United States' early political culture. In this comprehensive study, Shalev uncovers how “political astronomy”—the discussion and representation of politics through astronomical models, allusions, and metaphors—reflected and facilitated the emerging worldview that enabled Americans to justify and find meaning in the country's new democratic modes of governance and its federal system.

What if your purpose is not something far away that you have to find, but something already being expressed through the way you live, serve, and lead? In this episode, Gloria Lybecker and Gail Donohue welcome executive strategy coach and performance consultant Robert Nadopin for a conversation about purpose, leadership, personal impact, and sustainable growth. Robert shares how his lived experiences across cultures, corporate leadership, coaching, and entrepreneurship helped him recognize that our struggles can become part of the message we bring into the world. Together, they explore: why everyone is a leader, regardless of title leadership as inner work and self-discovery recognizing the gifts you may already be using finding purpose through what brings you joy making a difference one person at a time why mission-driven leaders are vulnerable to burnout creating systems that support both people and purpose building work that can grow without one person carrying everything Robert reminds us that purpose does not require a perfect answer or a grand plan. It may begin by asking: What do I love doing? Where am I already making a difference? What can I do to make one person's life better? Your life matters. Your story matters. And your impact can begin right where you are.

What if healing is not about fixing what is broken, but remembering what has always been whole within you? In this recap episode, Gloria Lybecker and Gail Donohue weave together three conversations about creativity, embodiment, consciousness, dream work, and belonging. They explore how creativity moves through the body, why emotions can become sources of information and expression, and how small actions can help restore the parts of us that have felt blocked or hidden. The conversation also introduces a simple three-part practice: Intention: What am I choosing? Attention: What am I noticing? Action: How am I living that choice? Gloria and Gail then return to dreams of inclusion and exclusion and the ways many of us learned to earn belonging by being helpful, quiet, agreeable, impressive, or without needs. Together, they ask: What part of my creative life force wants to return? What intention needs my attention and aligned action? What part of me has felt excluded? How can I include that part of myself now? What kind of belonging does my soul need? False belonging asks us to abandon ourselves for acceptance. True belonging allows us to remain connected to our hearts.

Have you ever dreamed that everyone else belonged—but you were left outside the circle? In this episode, Gloria Lybecker and Gail Donohue explore dreams of inclusion and exclusion and what they may reveal about belonging wounds, family patterns, caretaking, and the parts of us that are ready to come home. Gloria shares a personal dream involving a family gathering, responsibilities that had to be handled correctly, and women leaving on a trip without her. Beneath the dream is a deeper question: Am I valued for who I am—or only when I am helpful, useful, or caring for everyone else? Together, Gloria and Gail explore: the outsider and exiled-one archetypes caretaking as a survival strategy false belonging versus true belonging family roles we inherit or learn to perform how dreams reveal emotions the conscious mind may not yet recognize turning toward the younger part that still wonders, "What did I do wrong?" choosing belonging without abandoning yourself They also offer a gentle way to work with exclusion dreams by noticing the feeling, the role you played, and the part of you that may need care. A dream may begin in an old wound, but when met with compassion, it can reveal a path back to life.

Rick Fisher of the International Assessment and Strategy Center analyzes China's advancement in space and its competition with the United States. Fisher discusses China's Gandai constellation, a space debris monitoring satellite system controlled by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), which tracked a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster crashing near the moon's Einstein crater from over 380,000 kilometers away. He warns that this constellation can perform dual-use military targeting for space combat and missile defense. Fisher criticizes China's lack of transparency, noting its refusal to give advance notice for earthbound ICBM tests and its intention to let expendable propulsion stages crash into the lunar surface. Finally, he highlights the rapid progress of China's LandSpace with its liquid-fueled, methane-oxygen-powered reusable Zhuque-3 rocket, predicting that ten Chinese companies will offer cheap reusable launch services within five years and directly undercut Western competitors.

I try to plan my podcasts in such a way that it looks like I know what I'm doing. This is one such episode that may give you pause for thought.... I'd made a list of albums I wanted to discuss this year. Since that list was written on a scrappy piece of paper and not in a spreadsheet saved on my laptop....well you can guess what happened to it. The I decided to just wing it with an episode of three short form ramblings about albums I wasn't sure I could spend a whole episode on. One recorded segment in, I decided on a new album I wanted to discuss with a partner and talk long form. So, common sense would say, do one or the other....I don't have common sense. Welcome to episode 195 of Love That Album. I devote the first part of the show to an incredible album I only discovered in January of this year. It's a 2011 release on the great New Zealand label, Flying Nun from a composer and musician new to me called Grayson Gilmour. The album is called No Constellation, and it's a revelation. Gilmour is not only a brilliant composer, but listening to this and subsequent albums, he's an incredible arranger. How do I describe this album in a few words? It's as if Brian Wilson circa Smile had written math rock. Makes sense? Of course not....but I do my best to put the music in context and convince you that you need this LP in your life. In the second part of the show, I am joined once again by music journalist Jeff Jenkins to discuss the new compilation on the recently revived Popboomerang label, Shake Yer Popboomerang 4. The label was started a quarter of a century ago (!!!) by Melbourne pop obsessive Scott Thurling. He's been a champion of the local pop scene and has released over a hundred albums by great Australian pop bands. He's released many fine albums, but his compilations in particular are amazing. He's got a knack for convincing bands to provide him (mostly) with unreleased cuts. We're not talking bottom of the barrel – he always gets top notch songs – then he curates them into collections that flow really well, despite many of the acts being quite diverse. Scott doesn't always feel comfortable behind the mic (although I did coax him for an earlier episode of LTA), but Jeff being a fellow Popboomerang fan was very keen to join me in discussing this latest collection as well as a history of the label. There is a common link between the two albums. I love 'em both, and they're both on important independent labels. Have at it. The New Zealand music website I mention in the show and highly recommend is Audioculture.co.nz. My huge thanks to JJ for his great conversation and enthusiasm. We'll hear from him again at the year end favourites episode. You can find either of these great albums on Bandcamp.

Chris Ponder and G Money join Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast to push the "tools for truth" framework into new territory, tying it directly to Bitcoin. G Money makes the case that Bitcoin isn't just a monetary system but a thermodynamically grounded protocol that makes lying nearly impossible once information is written to the chain, while Chris riffs on constellations, constitutions, and why some systems resist being reduced to a simple "hot body" model. Kwast connects it all back to metaphysics, free will, and the historical arc from the American Revolution to today's information war. Expect a wide ranging conversation covering fifth generation warfare, a controversial book recommendation, and a closing call to action that's part strategy session, part sermon on personal responsibility. It's dense, ambitious, and unmistakably optimistic about where this is all headed.

James Holmes and Gordon Chang address the critical lack of frigates in the U.S. Navy, which Holmes describes as essential low-cost platforms for monitoring adversaries. The current fleet is "top-heavy," relying on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that are overworked. Holmes explains that the new Constellation-class frigate program has been delayed because the Navy continues to "monkey with the designs," resulting in vessels that are destroyer-sized but under-armed. Meanwhile, China and Russia have conducted joint naval exercises since 2005 to improve interoperability and provide military options in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. Holmes suggests the U.S. should consider leveraging the superior shipbuilding capacity of allies like South Korea, which claims it could produce five Arleigh Burkes annually, whereas the U.S. struggles to build two. The focus remains on regaining the ability to build plentiful, cost-effective combatants. (3)

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-5-2026.Michael Bernstam discusses how August is historically a "month of curses" for Russia, citing the 1991 coup and the 1914 start of WWI. Currently, Russia is facing a severe fiscal and production crisis driven by Ukrainian drone strikes that have crippled 25% of its oil refining capacity. Additionally, Ukrainian drones recently destroyed a massive Wildberrieswarehouse—Russia's equivalent to Amazon—stripping a million vendors of their livelihoods and stressing the banking sector. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is in fiscal trouble due to its $1.5 trillion "The Line" project and Houthi attacks on its pipelines. This pressure is leading the Saudis to urge the Trump administration toward concessions with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and stabilize oil flows. Bernstam notes that while the EU has frozen the Russian oil price cap at $44.10, the real impact on Russian revenues will come from any reduction in world oil prices. (1)Bob Zimmerman highlights the rapid evolution of the commercial space industry, comparing it to the early 20th-century auto boom. A major milestone includes SpaceX successfully retrieving a Starship stage from the Indian Ocean to analyze its thermal protection tiles. Zimmerman notes that the FAA is proposing to exempt spaceports from 13 environmental laws to curb "mission creep" and "lawfare." In the satellite market, Starlink's dominance has forced competitors like Hughes into bankruptcy. Internationally, Zimmerman criticizes the European Union Space Act as a regulatory disaster that could drive U.S. and Chinese businesses away from the EU market. Other notable developments include Spain's $1 billion offer to move the Thirty Meter Telescope to the Canary Islands and new evidence that near-surface ice is ubiquitous on Mars, simplifying future colonization. He also mentions the mapping of 200,000 supermassive black holes. (2)James Holmes and Gordon Chang address the critical lack of frigates in the U.S. Navy, which Holmes describes as essential low-cost platforms for monitoring adversaries. The current fleet is "top-heavy," relying on Arleigh Burke-class destroyers that are overworked. Holmes explains that the new Constellation-class frigate program has been delayed because the Navy continues to "monkey with the designs," resulting in vessels that are destroyer-sized but under-armed. Meanwhile, China and Russia have conducted joint naval exercises since 2005 to improve interoperability and provide military options in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait. Holmes suggests the U.S. should consider leveraging the superior shipbuilding capacity of allies like South Korea, which claims it could produce five Arleigh Burkes annually, whereas the U.S. struggles to build two. The focus remains on regaining the ability to build plentiful, cost-effective combatants. (3)Piero Tozzi and Gordon Chang explore the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) "long arm" influence in the U.S., specifically regarding a Purdue University professor pressured to cancel a speech at a Catholic conference. Tozzi explains that the CCP uses "patriotic churches" to "sinicize" Catholicism, which involves forcing the religion to conform to Party dictates. Tozzi criticizes the Vatican's "accommodationist approach" under the 2018 Sino-Vatican Accord, noting it neglects the persecuted "underground" church. He highlights that figures like Cardinal Zen and Archbishop Cordileone have been vocal defenders of figures like Jimmy Lai. Tozzi argues that the Catholic hierarchy must understand the totalitarian nature of the CCP, which seeks absolute control over all institutions. The discussion emphasizes that Chinese officials use intimidation to project dominance even within American universities and religious organizations. (4)Steve Yates and Gordon Chang discuss the proposed ban on Chinese components in U.S. data centers, warning that these devices allow for foreign sabotage of critical infrastructure. Yates notes that the CCP often fuels "astroturf" protests in rural America to block data center construction and slow U.S. AI development. Regarding Taiwan, Yates reports that security cooperation is becoming more transparent, moving away from "strategic ambiguity" to reassure allies and deter China. However, he notes a delay in a $14 billion arms package for Taiwan, suggesting that some in Washington still prioritize "walking on eggshells" to preserve the relationship with Xi Jinping. Yates argues for a shift toward helping partners buy and use their own deterrent capabilities. He concludes that U.S. leadership in compute power is a vital strategic advantage that China is actively trying to undermine through influence operations. (5)Peter Huessy provides a historical overview of nuclear arms control, starting with the 1972 SALT I agreement, which actually codified a buildup of weapons while banning missile defenses. He describes the "window of vulnerability" in the 1980s when Soviet SS-18 missiles threatened a first strike. The START I and START II treaties in the 1990s achieved the first real reductions, with START II aiming to ban destabilizing multiple-warhead (MIRV) land-based missiles. However, START II unraveled when Russia demanded limits on U.S. missile defenses. Following the Moscow Treatyand the 2010 New START, the arms control regime has effectively collapsed. Huessy emphasizes that today, there is no active treaty governing nuclear weapons between the U.S. and Russia. He underscores the importance of past verification measures, like "portal monitoring" in missile factories, which are no longer in place. (6)Humberto Briceño describes Venezuela as a state captured by a transnational alliance of criminal organizations, including colectivos (paramilitaries) and narco-traffickers. He criticizes the decision to leave "gangsters" like Delcy Rodríguez in power while attempting to rebuild democracy. Briceño argues that the judiciary and military must be entirely replaced, as they currently serve only as agents of the regime. Despite $13 billion in recent oil earnings, massive corruption has left the funds unaccounted for. He maintains that free elections, ideally by March 2027, are impossible without first dismantling the criminal infrastructure and placing the military under civil authority. Briceño praises the leadership of María Corina Machado and Edmundo González, noting the Venezuelan people are desperate for transformation after three decades of state-sponsored violence and economic collapse. (7)Simon Constable reports on the extreme weather and energy pressures facing Europe, with Brent crude prices up 12% and natural gas up 22% in a single month. He details a "semi-invasion" of Spain, where 60,000 migrants recently attempted to cross from Morocco, and the controversy in the UK over using the Royal Navy to return migrant boats to France. Constable describes the lack of logic in French police allowing these dangerous rubber rafts to depart. Switching to his "data center quiz," he reveals that 67% of new data centers are planned for rural areas, which often brings both high local resistance and significant tax revenue. He identifies labor shortages—particularly for electricians—and tariff uncertainties as the primary barriers to U.S. data center construction. Constable notes that within five miles of an operational data center, a significant portion of the U.S. population now resides. (8)Mary Kissel analyzes the "stuck" state of global diplomacy, arguing that China and Russia are actively judging the strength of U.S. deterrence in the Strait of Hormuz and Ukraine. She disputes the idea that China is a neutral bystander, noting that Beijing benefits from Russian energy, Iranian markets, and the depletion of U.S. military assets like Patriotmissiles. Kissel asserts that the "merging" of the wars in Ukraine and Iran actually happened years ago through long-standing regime cooperation. She warns that a "halfway house" deal with Iran would only grant the regime more leverage and threaten European population centers with ballistic missiles. NATO must recognize a "condominium of countries"—China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea—that are aligning against Western security. Kissel emphasizes that these regimes' interference in U.S. domestic politics is a strategic tool used to promote their own ends. (9)Colonel Grant Newsham challenges the assumption of inevitable Chinese dominance, labeling it a "fake it till you make it" strategy intended to intimidate foreigners. He points out that China's property market is a "crater" and its currency is not freely convertible, forcing the CCP to aggressively export overcapacity to earn the dollars needed for raw materials. Newsham highlights that over 600 million Chinese citizens live on less than $5 a day, and even the CCP elite, including Xi Jinping, keep wealth overseas as a hedge against the system's future. He argues that China's high-tech focus on AI and robotics does not solve its massive youth unemployment. Newsham concludes that China is a "big power but not a great one," functioning as a "rigged casino" without property rights or the rule of law, which is increasingly deterring foreign direct investment.
