Podcasts about disposable

Paul Osterman, MIT labor economist and author of Disposable Workers: The Transformation of Employment , tells Rob Tercek about the fastest-growing category of the US workforce in the age of artificial intelligence. According to Osterman, a rising number of employers prefer to hire three categories of “disposable workers” with no long-term stake in the company.  Today, such workers comprise more than 35% of the entire US workforce. The employers get the benefit of flexibility, and they push the risk and uncertainty onto the workforce. This interview covers the social, political, and organization consequences of the shift. And it anticipates how the deployment of AI will intensify the trend.

Jennifer Coffindaffer has 28 years of FBI experience and has worked the kinds of organized crime operations that wrench attack proponents believe may explain what happened to Nancy Guthrie. She takes the theory seriously enough to examine it honestly — and seriously enough to name where the evidence stops.A wrench attack is a physically violent crypto-extortion operation run by organized networks. Disposable operatives get recruited, directed through encrypted communications, and sent to force families into surrendering digital assets. The payment channels are layered to make the architects invisible. These cases are documented across the country. On January 31st — the same day Nancy vanished — two California teenagers directed by Signal handlers drove 600 miles to Scottsdale and forced their way into a home demanding $66 million in cryptocurrency. CertiK placed Nancy's name on its official 2026 wrench attack case list.Coffindaffer walks through the operational pattern of confirmed wrench attacks: the recruitment pipeline, the encrypted handler communications, the operational security that makes these networks nearly impossible to crack from a digital forensics standpoint. She identifies which elements of the Nancy Guthrie case proponents argue fit the model.Then she tests every piece. The missing cryptocurrency trail that should exist if this was a crypto-motivated operation. Why the person on Nancy's porch appeared to discover the doorbell camera in real time — which contradicts the briefing patterns in documented cases. Why the gear visible on footage doesn't match what confirmed operatives typically receive. And the foundational question: CertiK's classification may depend on ransom demands that investigators have already separated from the crime itself.The Scottsdale case happened the same night. But Coffindaffer identifies the specific operational differences between what happened there and what the evidence shows in Tucson. Nancy Guthrie was 84. She's still missing. Her family is still offering $1 million. The theory deserves scrutiny. So does the evidence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if there was literally a plastic spoon's worth of microplastics sitting inside your brain right now? In this jaw-dropping and deeply urgent solo episode, Darin Olien breaks down the newest science on microplastics, nanoplastics, brain accumulation, neuroinflammation, endocrine disruption, and the rapidly escalating contamination of the human body. Referencing groundbreaking new research published in Nature Medicine and newly launched U.S. government initiatives, Darin exposes how plastics are no longer just an environmental issue—they are now a human biology issue. From nanoplastics crossing the blood-brain barrier to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, PFAS, and phthalates accumulating in tissues, placentas, and testes, this episode explores the shocking implications of modern plastic exposure—and, more importantly, what practical steps you can take immediately to reduce your risk.     What You'll Learn The shocking new study finding microplastics in

Inside our brains. Inside our blood vessels. Inside unborn children. But while the scale of the problem is staggering, the solution begins with everyday choices. What you drink from. What you heat your food in. What you filter. What you buy. Your body is not a landfill—and reclaiming your health starts with refusing to treat it like one."     Bibliography/Sources Primary Scientific Studies Bornstein, S. R., et al. (2025).

A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, May 3, 2026, the fifth Sunday of Easter. “We Know Who We Are”series. Texts: Isaiah 43:1-4; Romans 8:14–17; 31-39 A while back a friend reached out with a question. He had seen a pastor online passionately teaching about the transformative power of God's love. My friend asked simply, “How does God's love really change anything? Is focusing on God's love really the most important thing?” I was struck by the question—and have come back to it any number of times over the past weeks as, together with many of you, I've grappled with loss and grief…with worry about loved ones ill or injured…with the continued assault of this corrupt administration on civil rights and constitutional law, on black and brown law-abiding citizens, on refugees and asylum seekers, on the environment itself. What difference does the love of God make when so much feels painful and messed up? My friend asks a fair question. Because if we're honest, “God loves you” can sound thin in the face of the world as it actually is. But, as we begin this new series, “We Know Who We Are: A Counter-Testimony of Faith, United Methodism, and the Work of the Church,” I want to suggest that everything begins here. Before we talk about United Methodism. Before we talk about the work of the church. Before we talk about witness or justice or discipleship or mission. Everything begins with the love of God. And if we get this wrong, everything else eventually falls apart. Let's look at our texts for today to understand why. Isaiah 43 is found in the section of the book often called Second Isaiah—chapters 40-55—and the context is the Babylonian Exile. Walter Brueggemann points out that throughout this section, God's words of care and presence interrupt the despair of the people again and again. And that's what we receive in our text today. The people are displaced and grieving countless losses. They are a people living under the crushing weight of empire. Babylon has named them defeated, forgotten, insignificant, abandoned. But God counters with a wholly different word. A word of relationship, a word of covenant, saying, “I have called you by name. You are mine.” The text beautifully describes God's loving activity, moving from creation—“I created you”—to redemption—“I redeemed you”—to naming—“I have called you by name”—to accompaniment —“When you pass through the waters…” And notice what God does not say. God doesn't say, “You will never pass through deep waters.” God doesn't say, “You will never walk through fire.” God doesn't say, “Nothing hard will ever happen to you.” God says, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.” And then these astonishing words: “You are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you.” The Hebrew here is unusually intimate and tender. God loves God's people not because they are strong or successful. Not because they have earned restoration. But because God freely chooses covenant love. Because they are precious in God's sight…honored…loved. Babylon—and empires across the ages—measure worth through military dominance and status and wealth and appearance and productivity. And honestly, our world still does. We are constantly being told who we are: You are what you produce. You are what you achieve. You are your failures. You are your fears. You are your appearance. You are your politics. You are your usefulness…People carry those names around every day. And we call ourselves things we would likely never call anyone else: We tell ourselves we're Not enough. Too much. Failure. Weak. Unseen. Disposable. But into all of those voices comes the voice of God: “You are mine.” “You are precious.” “I love you.” This—this!—is where everything begins. It is the beginning of our freedom and the ground of our true identity. And if we can stay connected to it, it allows us to live in the furnace of this world without losing our soul. Without becoming consumed by fear. Without surrendering to hatred of self or others. Without forgetting our own humanity or the humanity of other people. This is at the heart of what we call sacred resistance. And sacred resistance begins in the heart of God. It is, in fact, God's consistent stance toward the world. Out of an overflowing love desiring to be shared, God creates the world and all that is. Out of love, God seeks relationship with humankind. Out of love, God provides everything we need to live in peace, joy, and wholeness. And when we, God's children, turn away and our love fails, God's love remains steadfast. God resists abandoning us. Think about that. God resists abandoning us. What a mess we the people have made and yet God resists abandoning us. We wander off. We get distracted. We cling to idols. We organize our lives around fear and power and scarcity. We wound one another. We betray one another. We fail to love. And over and over again, God refuses to check out. God chooses to stay with us. To keep calling us. To keep loving us. To keep drawing us back toward the image that is our birthright. God loves us with an everlasting, stubborn love. In this Easter season, we remember that the power of God's love is stronger than death. In our Baptism, we remember that God adopts us, that God's love enfolds us into the family of God—the Beloved Clan—without our having to understand or earn that amazing grace. Throughout our lives with God, we learn that God's love and mercy have the power to release us from the chains of guilt and despair. And our Wesleyan theology teaches us that as we open our hearts and lives to God's love, that love fills us and overflows from us as we participate in God's work of peace, justice, and mending in the world. Do you see? This divine love from our good God is the model and the fuel for our counter-testimony, our sacred resistance, in this beautiful, broken world. When you are able to stay connected to the love of God who holds you, calls you by name, forgives you, and empowers you to be your full authentic self, you will be better equipped to act in the world with sacred resistance. Because you will know first-hand what sacred resistance is really about. It's about love. Love that looks upon each person with a desire for their wellbeing. Love that looks upon human community with a desire for healing and peace with justice. Love that looks into all creation with a desire for mending and reverence. Love that is compassionate and merciful. Love that is stubborn and sacrificial. This is how God loves the world. This is how God loves you. This is how God created you to love. Everything flows from this love. Our courage flows from this love. Our resistance flows from this love. Our mercy flows from this love. Our hope flows from this love. It is our guardrail and our guide as we seek to counter the perversions of the Gospel so prevalent in our world today. Because if love is truly the first principle of the Christian life, then any version of Christianity rooted primarily in fear, cruelty, domination, exclusion, or the hunger for power has already lost its way. If our faith leads us to dehumanize people made in the image of God, something has gone terribly wrong. If our theology produces contempt more than compassion, suspicion more than mercy, condemnation more than healing, then we are no longer moving in the Spirit of Christ. The love of God revealed in Jesus consistently moves toward people—not away from them. Toward the wounded. Toward the vulnerable. Toward the outsider. Toward the sinner. Toward the suffering. That kind of love is not weak. It is the deepest power in the world. It is our strength and our comfort in the storms of life. It is our fuel as we live with freedom and power and the joy that comes with living in our truest identity. And there is nothing that will ever be able to separate us from this love. From ancient of days this is God's word to us: I am your God and you are my Beloved. And Paul asks the rhetorical question whose answer he already knows: “Who will separate us from the love of Christ?” And then comes this breathtaking proclamation: “I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Nothing can separate us from God's love in Christ. What difference does God's love make? Every difference in the world. So this week, I invite you to start at the beginning and practice remembering who you are. When your inner voice starts trash-talking you, interrupt that old story with these true words: “I am God's beloved.” Or pray this breath prayer: Breathing in I know I am loved… Breathing out, I am loved… I know I am held… I am held… I know I am protected… I am safe… God says: “You are precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you.” And nothing in all creation can separate you from that love. And that, beloveds, makes all the difference. Amen.

If you don't recognize this pattern, you'll fall for it. In the book of Esther, a man named Haman used a specific strategy to turn an entire empire against the Jewish people. What's shocking is… that same structure is still being used today. Different. Disloyal. Dangerous. Disposable. This isn't random. It's not political. It's spiritual.The Bible makes something very clear in Ephesians 6:12. Our struggle isn't just with people. There are deeper forces at work, shaping narratives and influencing how groups of people are perceived. When you don't look at it through that lens, everything can feel disconnected. But when you step back, the consistency becomes hard to deny.———————————————————————————————————————————

To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.comNever mind the dodgy mortgages, oil spiking to $150/barrel in July, 2008, just before the panic set in, was as big a cause of the Global Financial Crisis.The price rise was like a sudden, unexpected liquidity drain on the economy. The US economy is built on oil. Costs suddenly rose across every supply chain. Disposable income was sucked out of households. Corporate margins got squeezed and inflation expectations rose effectively tightening financial conditions, just as the system needed liquidity. Funding costs then rose and collateral quality deteriorated. In a system already stretched with cheap credit and thin margins, highly leveraged institutions and ordinary borrowers were simultaneously pushed over the edge. The structure was fragile and it only worked in a low energy, low rate world. Subprime may have been the trigger, but the energy shock had already destabilised the foundations.The oil price tightened financial conditions before central banks didThis is not a one-offAs Charlie Morris points out in his piece What Happened in 1974, there have been three major oil shocks - in 1973/4, 1980 and 2008.In 1973 the US was dependent on Arab nations for most of its oil, and shortly after the Egypt-Syria alliance suddenly declared war on Israel, oil-producing Arab nations imposed an embargo on any nation that supported Israel. “You can support Israel or have cheap oil, but you can't have both,” the Saudi Arabian king had said on US TV.The oil price went from $3.50 to $10. It would eventually peak at $39.50 in 1980.I was only a little boy in the 1970s but we lived in South Kensington and I remember how many Arabs suddenly moved to the area, many of them with a great deal of money. My step-father ran a business in Belgravia selling modern Italian furniture and his clientele changed almost overnight. Hundreds of billions of dollars, previously in Western bank accounts, now made their way to the Gulf in a transfer of wealth like no other. Next came the Rolls Royces, the racehorses, the Harrods shopping sprees (indeed Harrods itself), the mansions, the public school educations, the City petro-dollar recycling trade and yes the over-priced, glitzy, Valentino furniture. London would never be the same.And what impact did those years have on bond and equity markets more generally? The 1970s were horrible, unless you were long commodities. The low reached in 1982 was so extreme that it marked one of the greatest long-term buying opportunities ever known, perhaps the greatest. While 2008 had its own consequences, not least the end of the City as a leading player in the global financial system (thanks to the regulation which followed), followed by the general decline of London.Each of these episodes follows a similar pattern: an energy shock tightens conditions, exposes leverage and forces a reset.It might not feel that way today with oil at $100, but we are still a long way from the extremes of 1974, 1980 or 2008. A lot of commentary is saying the investment world is too complacent and has not factored in what is coming.What is 2008's $150 oil in today's money?I'm not going to give you the CPI numbers because I consider CPI a bogus measure. Using money supply instead (M2), the equivalents look like this* 1974: $10 oil ≈ $120-150* 1980: $40 oil ≈ $360-440* 2008: $150 oil ≈ $375-450In the context of those extremes $100 oil does not look unreasonableThe sub-$60 prices with which we began this year now look extraordinarily cheap. I don't think we are going back to them any time soon.I'm also not saying we are going to those comparable numbers above. I merely show them for context.In terms of where we are going, I think Charlie has it right when he says, “We should assume that $100 oil implies a slowdown, $150 a recession, and $200 a depression”.$200 is not impossible if this was carries on.What to do?Let's take a quick look at how to position ourselves, and at what's in store for gold, silver, miners and the equities markets.It was the right call to move into energy at the beginning of the year, I'm pleased to say. With such quick profits the temptation is to sell. I'm maintaining my positions.The US, especially after the Venezuala episode, is self-sufficient in hydrocarbons. Europe is not. Whose oil and gas will it be buying now that Gulf supplies are in doubt, and Russian supply is off-limits?Meanwhile, high energy prices make shale extraction profitable again.North American oil and gas comes out of this strong.

NanoClaw is a new agent inspired by OpenClaw, but without the massive security risks you get with OpenClaw. Essentially, it's a safer OpenClaw.What if you could run a powerful AI agent on your own machine: one that can browse, automate tasks, connect to apps, and even manage your workflow ... but without the massive security risks?That's the idea behind NanoClaw, a lightweight alternative to OpenClaw created by developer Gavriel Cohen. In just a few weeks, the project exploded on GitHub, attracting thousands of stars and a growing community of developers building their own AI agents.In this episode of TechFirst, we explore:• Why OpenClaw raised serious security concerns• How NanoClaw isolates agents in containers• Why a 3,000-line codebase is safer than 500,000 lines• The rise of AI agents that can actually do work• Why entire software categories may soon be replaced by prompts• The future of AI-native workflows and “disposable software”Gavriel also shares how his team uses AI agents in WhatsApp to run their sales pipeline automatically—and how developers are customizing NanoClaw with new capabilities like voice, images, and automation.If you're interested in AI agents, autonomous workflows, vibe coding, and the future of software, this conversation is packed with insights.⸻GuestGavriel CohenFounder, QuibbitNanoClaw Creatorhttps://github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw⸻If you enjoy conversations about AI, startups, and the future of technology, subscribe for more episodes:https://techfirst.substack.com⸻00:00 Intro: A safe OpenClaw for TechFirst01:22 Gavriel Cohen introduces NanoClaw03:25 Why OpenClaw feels unsafe03:55 Half a million lines of code vs. 3,00006:03 Dependency sprawl and supply-chain risk07:00 Why every agent needs its own container09:30 What NanoClaw can actually do10:16 Letting NanoClaw customize itself12:56 How NanoClaw recreates OpenClaw with far less code13:21 Memory, Claude Code, and agents.md15:34 Running NanoClaw on a laptop, server, or VPS16:22 What Gavriel learned from vibe coding19:50 The OpenClaw phase shift: everything changed21:16 From ChatGPT to real agents that do work23:15 Why AI-native workflows beat traditional SaaS24:46 Replacing CRM workflows with markdown and WhatsApp25:54 Product categories becoming prompts26:36 The key innovation: agents leaving the box28:45 Agent swarms and one-person companies29:22 Tokens, cost, and AI inequality30:30 Building secure, customizable software32:25 Self-modifying software and shared customizations33:44 Disposable software and infinite composability35:00 Outro

Sarah Posner sits down with New York Magazine senior writer Sarah Jones to unpack the accelerating assault on transgender rights in Kansas and beyond. They trace how a new Kansas law retroactively invalidating updated gender markers on driver's licenses fits into a broader, decades-long Christian right strategy—one that cloaks theological convictions in the language of “common sense” and “biology.” From spiritual warfare rhetoric in statehouses to Supreme Court signals about religious motivation, Posner and Jones explore how anti-trans legislation operates as both a wedge issue and a cornerstone of a hierarchical gender ideology rooted in patriarchy, biblical literalism, and political calculation. They connect these state-level efforts to federal actions under Trump—from executive orders to agency guidance on bathroom bans—and examine how figures like Pete Hegseth and his mentor Doug Wilson frame masculinity, authority, and power. The conversation widens to consider how anti-trans politics intersects with abortion criminalization, punitive theology, and the rise of pronatalism across MAGA and NatCon spaces. They analyze the confirmation hearing of Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, whose blend of anti–birth control rhetoric, “sacred fertility” language, and pseudoscientific wellness ideology has sparked backlash—even from Christian right influencers like Erick Erickson, who denounced her as dabbling in witchcraft. Posner and Jones probe the uneasy coalition between evangelical patriarchy and MAHA-style new age conspiracism, asking whether this radicalized right-wing alignment can outlast Trump—or simply mutate into something more extreme. The episode closes with Posner's Anti-Doom segment, highlighting federal judges—some Trump-appointed—who are forcefully pushing back against unlawful immigration enforcement, reminding listeners that the constitutional order still has defenders. Sarah Jones is an award-winning senior writer for New York Magazine, where she covers religion and national politics. She serves on the editorial board of Dissent Magazine, and was previously a staff writer for The New Republic. Her first book, Disposable: America's Contempt for the Underclass, is available now from Avid Reader Press. She is based in Brooklyn.  Disposable by Sarah Jones: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Disposable/Sarah-Jones/9781982197438 Creator: Sarah Posner: https://www.sarahposner.com/ Producer and Engineer: Dr. Ger FitzGerald Executive Producer: Dr. Bradley Onishi Production Assistance: Kari Onishi Generous funding provided by the Henry Luce Foundation.

To be “disposable” for the Lord is a difficult idea in a world that urges us to build our own platforms, protect our reputations, and preserve our comfort. Yet Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 4:6 paint a different picture: “I am already being poured out like a drink offering.” His life was not guarded for personal gain—it was surrendered for God’s purposes. Being poured out means living open-handedly. It means recognizing that our achievements, dreams, ministries, relationships, and even our suffering ultimately belong to God. What He gives, He can redirect. What He builds, He can reshape. What He allows, He can use. Paul’s life did not revolve around personal comfort or recognition. He endured hardship, imprisonment, and rejection, yet remained focused on Christ’s Kingdom rather than his own. His confidence was not in earthly success but in finishing the race faithfully. This kind of surrender challenges us to ask hard questions. Are we building our own kingdoms, or Christ’s? When others interact with us, do they see our ambition—or His grace? Are we willing to release not only our accomplishments but also our expectations? Jesus reminds us in Matthew 10:39 that losing our life for His sake is the path to truly finding it. The paradox of the Christian life is that surrender brings freedom. When we loosen our grip, we discover deeper trust. When we release control, we gain eternal perspective. To be disposable for the Lord is not to be worthless—it is to be fully available. It is to live in such a way that Christ is magnified above all else. Main Takeaways Being “poured out” means living with open hands before God. Our achievements and opportunities ultimately belong to Him. Paul’s example shows a life centered on Christ, not comfort. Surrender applies to every area—success, relationships, health, and recognition. True fulfillment is found in finishing the race faithfully. Today’s Bible Verse "For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.” 2 Timothy 4:6 NKJV Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me to live open-handedly, making much of You instead of myself.” Listen to the full prayer here.

Dating in 2026 feels different because people are not dating to survive anymore.Standards have shifted. Expectations are louder. Options are endless. And love has become less about “can we make it through” and more about “do you actually add peace to my life.”In this episode, we unpack why more women are choosing to stay single, why success increases temptation for men, and why cheating is rarely an accident but a pattern. We also dive deep into masculinity, femininity, and what both sides are actually looking for today.We discussed:• Why successful men face higher temptation and access• Masculine responsibility vs feminine safety and peace• Why respect matters more than attraction• The real reason ghosting is so common on dating apps• Why positivity and openness still matter in finding loveIf dating has been confusing lately, this episode will give you language for what you've been feeling.Follow Coach Vee:Website: www.MatchmakingManila.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/datingcoachveeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matchmakerphilippines/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@datingcoachvee Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Dr. Joseph unpacks the first principle of environmental justice, which affirms the sacredness of Mother Earth, the ecological unity of all life, and the right of humans and non-humans alike to be free from ecological destruction. This episode challenges the dominant idea that the environment exists solely for extraction and profit. Instead, Dr. Joseph reframes environmental justice as a moral obligation—one rooted in interdependence, stewardship, and responsibility.Drawing on his Christian faith tradition, his lived experience, and environmental justice movement principles, he confronts the dangerous belief that progress must come at the cost of pollution, extinction, and sacrifice zones. Listeners are invited to rethink what development, innovation, and prosperity should look like in a world where we know better and therefore must do better.This episode calls out wasteful, destructive systems and insists that protecting the Earth is not optional, symbolic, or secondary. It is foundational. This is where environmental justice starts: with the recognition that the planet has value beyond profit, that destruction is not inevitable, and that a livable future depends on how fiercely we choose to protect what sustains us all.Resources: Principles of Environmental JusticeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-environmental-justice-lab--5583745/support.Connect with our Environmental Justice Lab community: Instagram: @envjusticelab YouTube: @envjusticelab Email: theenvironmentaljusticelab@gmail.comDon't forget to subscribe and rate the podcast wherever you listen!

In the first week of our new series, Blood, Guts, and Fire, we begin a journey into one of the most mysterious books in Scripture: Leviticus. Raw and intense, Leviticus confronts us with blood and sacrifice and rituals that feel foreign to our modern sensibilities. But what if God was teaching his people that nothing in this world is disposable — not our bodies, not our relationships, not even the ordinary moments we rush past? In a world that moves fast and rarely slows down to notice what is holy, this ancient book may have something urgent and freeing to say. Join us as we step into Blood, Guts, and Fire and rediscover the beauty and weight of a life that belongs to Jesus.

Peacewarts: Dept. of Living Roots - Planned Obsolescence & the Logic of War (Class 11) We examine how the "throwaway culture" of modern economics conditions us to accept human expendability. This class explores the link between the Rana Plaza disaster and precarious labor, the role of e-waste in Agbogbloshie, and how military "use-it-or-lose-it" logic mirrors consumer waste. Homework: Look up the term"Planned Obsolescence" and find one product in your house that you believe was intentionally designed to fail or be unrepairable. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write “no question.” Optional: Journal for five minutes about the word "Disposable." List three things you consider disposable. Now, try to trace where they go when you "dispose" of them. Does that change your view of them? Learning Topics: The transition from stewardship to consumption; The Rana Plaza Collapse: The human cost of fast fashion; E-waste in Agbogbloshie, Ghana, as a driver of regional instability; "Use-it-or-lose-it" military budget cycles; The cultural normalization of "collateral damage."

Clare workers have the sixth lowest disposable income in the country. A new CSO report shows this county's rate is 15% lower than the national average coming in at €25,626 in 2024. Although Clare saw an almost 5% growth compared to 2023's figures, it still remains the lowest in Munster. Head of the Clare Public Participation Network Sarah Clancy believes the reality on the ground is likely worse.

This week on Inside the Economy, we explore U.S. inflation compared to disposable income, stock market earnings, and housing. U.S. inflation closed out 2025 lighter than expected, hovering around 2 to 3 percent. Where is the biggest CPI impact with regard to tariffs? Disposable income in the U.S. has seen a 6.2 percent acceleration in the post pandemic period. We examine what this could imply for recession risk and GDP. What effect could the implementation of tax cuts in 2026 have following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill? S&P 500 earnings in recent years have been dominated by the likes of the Magnificent Seven stocks. We discuss current projections and market expectations for 2026 and whether there may be potential for broader participation across the stock index. Lastly, U.S. mortgage rates have dropped to one of the lowest levels in years, with refinancing applications increasing as a result. Has this had a positive effect on new home sales? Tune in to learn more. Key Takeaways: • Unemployment at 4.4% • 30-year Mortgage rate at 6.06% • Median New Home Sales Prices at $392.3k in October 2025

He couldn't read or write until age 20. Now, Child X author Jamie Mustard is exposing how Scientology's Sea Organization warehouses children like livestock.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1270What We Discuss with Jamie Mustard:Children in Scientology's Sea Organization, where Jamie was raised, were treated as "livestock" — penned in squalid dormitories, denied education, and cared for by untrained adults deemed too unstable for public-facing roles. Jamie didn't attend school until age 20 and could barely write at that point.The psychological conditioning began at age five, when Jamie signed his first "billion year contract" while still believing in Santa Claus. Children were taught that emotion was weakness — labeled "human emotion and reaction" — and punished or stigmatized if they got sick or hurt.Jamie was present during the largest FBI raid in U.S. history (Operation Snow White), yet agents never investigated the children's living conditions. Scientology strategically moved kids between rooms during the raid, hiding evidence of what Jamie calls "animalization."The organization weaponizes family bonds through "disconnection" — if you leave or question the doctrine, you lose everyone you've ever known. Jamie's own mother, still in Scientology, has been turned against him as part of ongoing psychological operations.Despite being functionally illiterate at 19, Jamie escaped and rebuilt his life from scratch — earning admission to the London School of Economics and eventually authoring six books. His story proves that no amount of early deprivation can permanently define your trajectory.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Over the last few decades, the industry has been reliant on ever-expanding production volumes to achieve continued sales growth. Although a few super-fast-fashion giants are often criticized for their overproduction contributions and low prices, the general mass manufacturing trend across the fashion landscape has collectively led to excess. For 8 billion people, the industry is creating upwards of 80 billion pieces per year.Suzanne Ellingham, director of trade show Source Fashion, made the case for tamping down on overproduction and adopting a “post-growth” strategy. This leaves margins and profit intact by right-sizing inventory, reducing discounting and waste.“What we should be looking at doing is producing how much we can actually sell,” Ellingham said. “[There's] this constant need to be producing more and more and more. The reality is volume doesn't do anyone any favors, apart from continuing to drive the profits at the cost of people and planet.”Listen to the fireside chat, with Ellingham in conversation with Jasmin Malik Chua, climate and labor editor at Sourcing Journal, to learn more about why the current production and pricing models are so harmful to people and the planet and what post-growth actually means for operations and profitability.

This week on Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski dives into a real-world case study with David Leinbach of Kaiser Martin Group and Terry MacGillivary from Advanced Glazings. The spotlight? A high-profile U.S. government project where cutting-edge daylighting met energy efficiency demands head-on. David and Terry unpack how SoleraWall—a revolutionary glass-based translucent wall system—replaced traditional materials to solve tough design challenges, including heat loss, glare, and longevity. Together, they reveal how thoughtful engineering and collaboration turned a spec rejection into a design triumph, delivering R5 insulation performance (U-Value 0.2) and lasting visual impact. From the installation process to the "quiet wow" of natural light done right, this episode shines a light on how buildings can be both beautiful and brilliantly functional. If you care about smart daylighting, occupant comfort, and better buildings—don't miss this one.More About David K. Leinbach and Terry MacGillivaryDavid K.
