Is cryptocurrency the future of finance—or the funeral dirge of the U.S. economy?In this explosive episode of The Neoliberal Round, Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie delivers a fiery indictment of the growing crypto craze and the danger it poses to America's most powerful asset: the U.S. dollar. From Donald Trump Jr.'s praise of crypto to the silent shift of BRIC nations away from the dollar, this episode exposes the slow unraveling of economic supremacy in the name of digital freedom.

From Brazil, we bring good news for poverty reduction: Brazil's formerly sky-high wage inequality is not quite so sky-high anymore. From 1995 to 2015 Brazil became a more equal society, a trend that contrasts with rising inequality during that time in high-income countries. A soon-to-be-published article in the Journal of Economic Literature reviews the research that estimates the reduction, discovers the factors that have contributed to it and the mechanisms that have driven it. Alysson Portella of Insper tells Tim Phillips why there is no silver bullet that policymakers can use to reduce inequality, and why both implementing and evaluating policies in Brazil can be even more challenging than in other countries.

Ah, what a wondrous tapestry of tongue and time Rev. Renaldo C McKenzie has woven—Pope Leo XIV, a man of many lands and languages, stepping to the altar not just as pontiff, but as pilgrim. The First Homily of Pope Leo XIV: A Pilgrim's BenedictionIn the beginning, he spoke in English—clear, measured, familiar. Then, like a river bending toward its roots, he flowed into Spanish, the tongue of warmth and memory. Finally, he ascended into Latin, the timeless language of the Church, a signal not only of office, but of transformation.This triad of tongues was no accident. It was testimony.He shared not a speech, but a story. A journey. From the bustling corridors of America to the sacred hills of Peru, and now, to the eternal seat of Rome. Life, he said, is a journey—a series of sacred passages toward the ultimate. We must not curse the winding roads, for they are the hands that shape us.He reminded us: America, too, is on a journey. It is in a moment—yes, a painful, purifying moment—but it is not the end. As long as we walk in faith, with hearts devout and spirits unbowed, this path will lead us not to despair, but to deeper becoming.And so, the pope bids us not to abandon life, but to trust it.In closing, he left us with layered words—a coded blessing, perhaps. A call to see beneath the syllables. He casts no stone behind him; his past is not discarded, but embraced. For the man who stands before us is not divided, but united. Not American. Not Peruvian. Not simply one nation or name.He is transformed.He was of a country. Now, he is of all. He was a citizen. Now, he is a shepherd. He was. And now, he is—Pope Leo XIV.Written By Rev. Renaldo C.

Since President Trump took office, Senator Bernie Sanders has been vocal in his opposition to growing economic inequality, launching what he has characterized (ironically) as a campaign to “stop the oligarchy.” As part of this ongoing effort, Sanders has traveled extensively across the country to rally support for progressive economic reforms. However, his use of a private jet during portions of this tour has sparked criticism and raised questions about the consistency of his message. When confronted about the apparent contradiction between his populist rhetoric and the use of private air travel, Sanders defended the decision, citing logistical demands and the need to maintain an aggressive campaign schedule as justification. Former President Biden made an appearance on The View and discussed his abysmal debate performance. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderEaston University - https://www.eastonuniversity.comkenaifish.com - Promo Code TODD to save 15%

The Penn Relays have officially begun at the University of Pennsylvania—my alma mater—and once again, the historic Franklin Field is alive with the spirit of one of the oldest and most prestigious track and field events in the Americas. Hosted annually by Penn Athletics, the Relays are more than just a sporting event—they are a cultural moment, especially for the Caribbean diaspora.You simply cannot mention the Penn Relays without mentioning Jamaica in the same breath. Jamaicans have long been dominant and enthusiastic participants, from high school standouts to collegiate champions. The relays serve as a proving ground for emerging talent and a showcase of track royalty.I remember one year when I had the privilege to volunteer at the games. It was a moment I'll never forget—I met the likes of Bill Cosby, the Hon. Portia Simpson Miller (Jamaica's first woman Prime Minister), and track legends such as Asafa Powell, Usain Bolt, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The electric atmosphere, the sound of cheering crowds, and the buzz around potential stars from across the U.S. and Caribbean left an indelible mark on me.Yet, something feels different this year. While the 2025 Penn Relays have kicked off with their usual modest energy, there's a noticeable lack of media coverage and buzz. Surprisingly, many locals in Philadelphia I spoke to either weren't aware the Penn Relays were happening or didn't know what the event was at all. This is a stark contrast to years past, when the city would buzz with anticipation and pride.Still, the Caribbean diaspora and college track athletes from around the country are already making their way to the city, bringing with them a growing excitement that's starting to creep in. Although mainstream media has yet to fully engage, the passion of the people remains. A quick keyword search or hashtag scroll for “Penn Relays 2025” yields only a handful of results—disappointing for such a historic event.We remain hopeful that as the week unfolds, coverage will swell and the attention this event deserves will return. In these turbulent and uncertain times, we need events like the Penn Relays. They offer catharsis and community—a moment to celebrate excellence, heritage, and unity.Between the NBA playoffs and the Penn Relays, there's a lot to look forward to this week. Stay tuned—The Neoliberal Round and our YouTube channel may bring you interviews, event highlights, and the heartbeat of the city and its athletes as the games progress.Until then,Renaldo C.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 312 published last April 10, 2013. Professor Richard Epstein, pioneering Libertarian legal scholar, joins Jason Hartman to explain how income inequality is good for society, but is very dependent on the methods used to produce the best outcome. The current methods our government are attempting to use are causing job losses, it blocks gains in trade, the need for further public assistance increases, which in turn increases taxes, “yet another implicit drain on voluntary transactions,” Richard illustrates. He provides examples to demonstrate the consequences of equality by egalitarian efforts of our government versus voluntary redistribution.  Listen for more details at:  www.JasonHartman.com.    Richard A. Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. He has authored several books, including Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration and the Rule of Law, The Case Against the Employee Free Choice Act, Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection of Property Rights, and many more. Richard has written numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects. He has taught courses in administrative law, antitrust law, civil procedure, communications, constitutional law, contracts, corporations, criminal law, employment discrimination law, environmental law, food and drug law, health law and policy, legal history, labor law, property, real estate development and finance, jurisprudence, labor law; land use planning, patents, individual, estate and corporate taxation, Roman Law; torts, and workers' compensation.   He also writes a legal column, the Libertarian, found at http://www.hoover.org/publications/defining-ideas/libertarian-archives, and is a contributor to Ricochet.com and the SCOTUS blog.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

Season 10 Ep. 48: On A Quick Note: I cannot believe that the 150-year old University of the Arts in Philadelphia is closed. Here am I referring a young mentee to the college and when I checked, it's closed.Such a staple university focusing on the arts closed abruptly in June 2024 and filed bankruptcy in September 2024. The university closed because its leaders lacked the vision and the passion that would create innovative strategies to sustain the school.First of all no one knows about the school, that's why they suffered from low enrollment, and they were not profitable because they lack the Innovation to create new programs by working with the local niche communities and businesses in Northern liberties Philadelphia that were becoming the fashion and arts capital of the Eastcoast; with young professional New Yorkers moving to Old City and Northern Liberties.Now The Eagles are are dominant team and the Sixers are contemplating building a huge new stadium in Center city. The university could've taken advantage of these opportunities. Their prowess in the arts would have been ideal in helping to:1. develop the area utilizing the school's artists and professors and2. developing programs with the city and the stadium developers that serve to develop artists and designers who'd contribute to the stadium and the transformation of the city into the 21st century.Re-open the school @PhiladelphiaGovAnd return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US. We can't pay El Salvador 6 million dollars to hold him for us then say due to international policies we cannot interfere in El Salvador and if they want to release they should. We are paying them for God sake!

Holy Week Reflection by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie:1/Isn't it ironic, duplicitous and Pharisaical that our President Mr. Donald Trump expects compliance with executive orders… yet POTUS struggles to comply with court rulings and our Constitution?2/We can arrange prisoner swaps like Kseniya Karelina from Russia…But we can't bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador?3/Trump is not a Jew, but he moves like the Pharisees did in the #NewTestament.Jesus said:“Woe to you, scribes & Pharisees, hypocrites!”4/He condemned their hypocrisy, legalism, and failure to uphold justice, mercy & faithfulness.And that's exactly what we're witnessing in this “Neoliberal age”.5/These thoughts are the foundation of my upcoming book w/ Martin Oppenheimer:Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition & the Death of Nations.By Rev.

How can the United States justify imposing tariffs on countries like Jamaica Haiti, and others in the Caribbean—nations whose markets have been devastated by the very multinationals and transnationals that the U.S. has supported for decades? American Corporations have long penetrated these emerging markets, flooding them with cheaper goods and services, eroding local industries, and reducing Caribbean nations to dependent capitalist markets. The International Monetary Fund (#IMF), often under U.S. influence, has further entrenched these dependencies by enforcing structural adjustment policies that gutted public investment and local enterprise. Meanwhile, the region sends hundreds of millions—if not billions—of dollars in royalties, profits, and remittances back to the U.S., continuing a cycle of extraction and economic subordination. So why would President Donald Trump—who claims to support fair trade—impose tariffs on these vulnerable economies? The answer lies in the profoundly unequal mechanisms of globalization, where the rules benefit the powerful and marginalize the developing world. It's a game stacked against countries trying to build self-reliance and resilience.One of my friends use to work for comcast comcast business as a customer services rep (now called “Call Center Rep) getting $17 – $21 per hour in #Philly COMCAST laid him off and outsourced the job to The Philippines and Caribbean where Comcast pays Call Center Reps $1 – $3.50 per day. Yet we charge them reciprocal tariffs up to 10% plus a direct tariff on others. They want to have their cake and eat it too. DON'T BE GREEDY. GREED LEADS TO GLUT AND THEN DEATH.“Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations,” by Renaldo McKenzie. Coming soon.

Question: Who are the founders of the Haitian Revolution? A. Toussaint and Dutty Boukman, B. Dessalinethe s and Dutty Boukman. On this Presentation dubbed "Everything Caribbean," Students from Group 1 present on Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We learn who the true hero of the revolution is in Haiti when they gained their independence from a revolt. We had thought it was Toussaint. But we learned it was Dessalines who could not read or write French and was not quickly educated in the European ways, but still helped to lead Haiti to their freedom. However, the French would tell us it was Toussaint fitting into their narrative that the founder who defeated the French could not have been someone who was not educated in the French ways. It must have been someone who was European, and they agreed that Toussaint, who was a French soldier, would be the founder. But in Haiti, Dessalines is the founder. In Europe and the rest of the world, it is Toussaint. The students critically correct our thinking and provide a history that is from below.

Dear Mr. President Donald Trump,I know you are fond of #elonmusk, but so too was #biden—and yet, Musk betrayed him. If he could turn on Biden, what makes you think he won't do the same to you?Musk's fortune swelled under Biden's administration, not merely from innovation but from the artificial winds of government intervention. Biden's tax credits for electric vehicles funneled demand straight into Tesla's pockets, distorting the free market and cementing Musk's place as the world's richest #automaker—and, for a time, the wealthiest man alive. This was not capitalism in its purest form, but an unfair advantage masquerading as policy. It was Biden who had already poured $350 billion into Musk's ambitions through #spacex, only to double down by tipping the scales in Tesla's favor. These subsidies dictated consumer behavior, steering Americans toward Tesla not by choice, but by incentive.But here we are, in a new chapter, where you, Mr. President, seem to have taken a different path. By removing tariffs on electric vehicles and eliminating Biden's preferential tax credits, you have leveled the playing field. No longer will Americans be herded toward Teslas for the sake of a subsidy. Instead, all American-made cars will compete on even ground, as they should. This is a move that underscores your commitment to free enterprise rather than corporate favoritism.Unlike Biden, who unknowingly armed his own adversary, you appear unmoved by the lure of Musk's influence. You are not bending to the whims of a single mogul, nor are you allowing the state to play kingmaker in the auto industry. This is a correction, a realignment with the principles of capitalism—a system that should never be shackled by government interference in the service of one man's empire.As for Musk, his betrayals may yet return to him—not by the hand of Biden's retaliation, but by the justice of consequence—the karma of life. Life, after all, has its own way of settling accounts.Rev. Renaldo C.

Is Separation of Powers a Facade? Or are we going back to the past where Kings, Queens and Noble men are above the laws and constitution of this country - America. Is this England, France, Russia or Chibna? No it is Not! It is a country built on Democratic values; but today those elected to continues, preserve and direct our affairs are changing the nation for their own good and in their name, not in the name of the populist and for America. To be great does not mean to dismantle democratic institutions that have been set up to preserve and protect against despots, kings and supremacist. We really did vote to go back, did we? But back to what?In this quick episode, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie shares a blog with Donte a Contributor and Co-Producer of the Show. Renaldo writes that: What is going on in America? Speaker Mike Johnson is threatening to withhold funding from District Courts for making a ruling that challenges the President. If the President disagrees with a lower court judge, he must appeal. We have a system in place that should work, unless when it works against the powerful they can withhold money. That means we have no separation of powers in actuality, if politicians can decide to withhold funding from the Judiciary.There's no way an attorney would make such irresponsible statements threatening the institution that has been constitutionally entrenched and has given him his authority. Speaker Johnson must have been threatened by Trump whose support he needs in order to keep his job as Speaker. So then there's no separation there either if the speaker and the house are "elected" by The President. Nevertheless, Johnson's statements are unconstitutional, threatens the legal institution that has given him his law license and therefore he should be disbarred. Johnson has no respect for the separation of powers and the authority of the justices and the people's court. I am Rev.

SHONTAL: Sir, do you agree that the average American is not able to take vacations like the average Jamaican and Caribbean residents can? PROF. RENALDOMCKENZIE: No, but it also depends on who you are comparing because black and Brown people are just as dependent and economically behind everywhere. So there is no positive to be gained from the poorest being better than other poor people. Moreover, the average person in the US is not looking to break the law to travel to the #caribbean. In fact, there are very few restrictions to travel from the US to the Caribbean. Moreover, the US is a post-industrial developed country where US1$ is #jamaica $150. In the US, the poorest have access to social welfare, tax returns and credits, and other benefits. Jamaica and Caribbean governments struggle to provide benefits to their most vulnerable peoples and can barely afford to provide social welfare. The question is an inappropriate question, as one cannot compare the two in terms of wealth as the US has more wealth than Jamaica but the wealth is concentrated around those who are white or of a certain class. The episode went beyond the Caribbean Thought Lecture's class topic, looking at the film "Life and Debt" by Stephanie Black, which is why this Episode series of Caribbean Thought is called Caribbean Thought Extended.We also switched gears and discussed some breaking news from around the #caribbean: 1. Turks and Caicos - Immigration restrictions on immigrants as the Turks are being outnumbered by immigrants. #turksandcaicos2. Trinidad and Tobago - The Government announced a State of Emergency, and the Chief of Police was arrested for his association with a known gang leader responsible for bringing in illegal guns. Trinidad and Tobago 3. Haiti - The whole country is still in a state of crisis as gangs control half of the capital. #haiti We discuss these lead by: Edras from Haiti living in Trinidad Ombertta - from Jamaica living in Turks and CaicosShontal - From Jamaica and is in Jamaica.The discussions are facilitated and hosted by Rev.

Togo was part of Ghana until the colonization and occupation by Germany, France and the British which divided a people and a place for their (Europeans') benefits and interests. This episode which is in preparation or the Lecture on Caribbean Thought Semester 2, 2024 at the Jamaica Theological Seminary, explores the West African Country, Togo which provides an interesting case as to how post-independent countries were forced into accepting a ceremonial freedom and independence. The independence negotiated could and affects the future of these small newly independent states and peoples. From Jamaica to Hit, Africa and the peoples within, black, brown or formerly colonized peoples. The Togo situation resembles all states that were fighting for independence but was still under the control of their former masters. The Podcast and production continues the Lectures in Caribbean and Pan Africanism exploring Neoliberal Globalization and the concept of The Black and Brown Position in the World, which is explored in my upcoming second book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered and will form part of the Lectures next semester, January 2024. We conducted an interview with a Togolese American and included an adapted and remastered documentary film by ⁠ @AFRISTORYNETWORK ⁠ Togo, with voice overs and narrations for the English Speaking Caribbean, American and European Markets.

In today's Lecture, Rev. Renaldo Mckenzie continues exploring currents that have shaped the position of the Caribbean today stemming from Colonization, but switch gears to Postcolonialism, and the lingering effects of Colonialism. The Lecture delves into the concept of postcolonialism and discusses how Caribbean people's disdain for African Traditions such as Obeah reflects the lingering effects of colonialism. The class spent several minutes debating whether #obeah is evil as many students challenged the professor's position on African traditions and the need to have open discussions without European ethnocentrism. The class was deeply intense and the students and Professor spoke passionate about current attitudes towards African Spirituality.This Lecture and the Lecture series is offered Jamaica Theological Seminary in the Humanities Department and the Lecture is delivered by Rev.

New federal data paints a stark picture: American children are falling behind in reading and test scores, with the gap between advantaged and disadvantaged kids growing wider. But is this really just a problem of money? University of Chicago Developmental psychologist Ariel Kalil has spent her career studying how parents influence childhood development—not just through resources, but through daily habits and interactions.On this episode, we explore the surprising science behind parental engagement, the behavioral biases that shape parenting decisions, and why simple interventions—like 15 minutes of reading a day—can have an outsized impact. Plus, we discuss how AI and behavioral economics might provide new solutions for supporting parents in an era of rising inequality.

Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie continues the 2025 #caribbeanthought Lectures at Jamaica Theological Seminary ‪@jtsintersection‬ via the ‪@georgetownuniversity‬ Platform, beginning this week with #colonization as a Strategy to control. Rev. Renaldo discusses #postcolonialism as a new strategy marking the end of another kind of control strategy. The #caribbean today is faced with the threat of retaliation and instability within their region after years of stability within their geopolitical region. The discussions were electrifying and explosive as the lecture culminated in whether Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago should continue to do business with #china.Rev. #renaldomckenzie builds on the lectures from previous weeks, asking whether there is a Caribbean Philosophy, Caribbean Theology, Caribbean Epistemology that is not bastardized by European colonization and their field slaves or elites or local politicians today.The Lecture promises to be profoundly esoteric and challenge our presuppositions and assumptions.The Lectures are taught face-to-face over Zoom by Jamaica Theological Seminary, Humanities Department.Rev.

It's elementary, Transwomen that are Trans Athletes should not compete in Women's sports. Renaldo McKenzie, joined by Donte T. Nelson discuss the recent move by #donaldtrump to ban transwomen from competing in women's sports and to pass actions preventing schools and government institutions from recognizing trans athlete and transgender people. Renaldo shares his article blog published in The Neoliberal Journals: The Neoliberal CorporationMar 07It's elementary, women who were once men, should not play in Women Sports. Such women still possess or have access to their masculinity that gives them an advantage over other women born as women. Therefore, it is unfair for transwomen to compete in women's sport until the technology is available to drain them of their masculine prowess and that can perform checks when they fail to take their hormone meds when they are competing in events to get temporary advantage.If anything transgender women should create their own sporting category to evade any issue from performing in women's sport and to satisfy their need to compete in sports. If the transgender women promote diversity, equity and inclusion, they should see how their participation in women's sport is hypocritical to that cause.Moreover, the attack on Gavin Newsom is misplaced and unfortunate, because he sides with what seems fair which goes against your wants not your needs and principles. If anything Newsome's position coincides with diversity, equity and inclusion, because DEI is about and facilitates fairness and transgender women in women's sport is unfair and goes against DEI and the ideals of the LGBTQIA community.The solution is simple, create an opportunity for transgender women to play in sports where they have their own category or sporting events and they compete against each other. Now what's wrong with that. Why not come up with something we all can agree on instead of forcing the issue?(https://theneoliberal.com/its-elementary-transgender-women-should-not-play-in-womens-sport/The show begins with a news excerpt of the recent actions by the Trump administration to stymie LGBTQIA super trans women in sports and Trump commenting on his actions.Renaldo and Donte then discuss the topic with background music and interludes.Renaldo McKenzie is the Creator and Host of the Neoliberal Round Podcast, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary, Doctoral Cand. at Georgetown University.

Rev. Renaldo McKenzie continues with the Caribbean Thought Lectures at The Jamaica Theological Seminary, concluding the discussions on The Afrocentric Paradigm and Centering Caribbean Studies and Caribbean Thought within a paradigm that begins with a position of victory rather than a position of victory. The Caribbean Reader asserts that the Caribbean is an invention.... But this is defeatist and based on a position of oppression than victory. Yet one may say this binary troupe is based on a philosophy of idealism than realism. Nevertheless, Renaldo explore the importance of a Caribbean history that must demystify history through critical reflections. The Lecture today culminates the conversations on Afrocentric, Eurocentric and conceptualizing Caribbean Thought. The course is accredited by The University Council of Jamaica and is delivered within the Department of Humanities. The Lecture is delivered by Rev.

Departments of Government Secretaries are supposed to manage their staff, ensure accountability, and know what's happening in their agencies. If we need another department—DOGE—to do this for them, then why have Secretaries at all? It's an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy and a waste of resources.Then there's Elon Musk, suggesting that federal workers send daily emails just to prove they're alive. That logic is flawed. If dead people are somehow getting paid, they can just as easily send back emails. This entire exercise makes no sense.Each department, with its newly confirmed leadership under a new president, should run the government—without an extra, redundant oversight body. A shadow cabinet only adds to the waste, forcing taxpayers to fund DOGE, Elon, and the Secretaries all at once. It's inefficient and unnecessary.Submitted by Rev. Renaldo C.

Is the Department of Government Efficiency a strategy to reinvent white supremacy and deny the American dream to black men and women?On this episode of the The Neoliberal Round Podcast Renaldo McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Creator and Host of The Neoliberal Round shares his short blog responding to this question. Elon Musk finds it noteworthy that nearly 160,000 federal civil service workers are now millionaires. This is reported by Amuse. Shouldn't we be celebrating that under President Joe Biden, many federal workers—who are American citizens—have achieved the American Dream? Why is this a problem for Musk, Donald Trump, and their supporters? Is the goal to strip these individuals of their wealth simply because they worked for the government? It's worth noting that Musk himself has grown even richer under Biden's administration.The real issue seems to be that Black people have also attained wealth. For decades, federal employment has been one of the few reliable paths to economic stability and success for Black Americans. Now, there appears to be a deliberate effort to dismantle this pathway. The recent push to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives under the guise of “efficiency” seems less about improving government operations. It seems more about rolling back progress. By targeting DEI hires, the goal appears to be a return to an America where wealth and power are concentrated among white men.The firing of the only woman general and the second Black general in the name of “efficiency” raises serious concerns. Is this truly about performance, or is it a strategic move to reinforce systemic inequalities? If these trends continue, they will not only harm Black Americans but also women, people of color, and anyone who does not fit the narrow mold of privilege. This is not just about economics—it is about the very fabric of the American Dream.Submitted by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance, available at The Neoliberal Store https://store.theneoliberal.com or via Amazon and Barnes and Noble.Renaldo also discusses a recent poll by Stephen A Smith asking if the Eagles should go to the White House.

As a superhero action movie, I would rate it a 5/10—it leaned far more into drama than action, and when action sequences did appear, they often felt contrived, almost as if I were watching a simulation rather than an organic, high-stakes battle. The lack of thrilling, immersive action sequences left a lot to be desired, especially for those expecting the high-energy spectacle characteristic of Marvel films. As a drama, I would rate the movie 7/10...

In today's Lecture, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie continues to conceptualize and contextualize the course by exploring a working definition of the Caribbean. Rev. Renaldo explains the importance of the assignment to read Ama Mazama's Afrocentric Paradigm as we delve into a critical study of the Caribbean. Rev. McKenzie presented a historical overview of the Caribbean and indicated that the Caribbean is an Invention, yet an invention beginning where it depends on how we approach Caribbean history; a paradigm may help begin with Kamit, a place of victory and not at colonialism or enslavement.

This was a live in studio show which have some studio issues but it should be clear. Renaldo the creator and host is joined by Donte Nelson and Ricardo McKenzie Contributors and co-producers who are largely in the background or on phone.Renaldo also presents a recent article he published in The Neoliberal Journals entitled: In the article he said: Immigration reform continues to be a polarizing issue, and the debate surrounding birthright citizenship is no exception. There are individuals who exploit the 14th Amendment, coming to the United States with the sole intention of giving birth so their children can claim U.S. citizenship. While this practice is not a conspiracy, it is a documented reality that has far-reaching implications, including placing unnecessary strain on the foster care system when some of these parents leave, abandoning their U.S.-born children.

If you're one of the bottom 80% of Danish earners, you'll probably spend most of your dark January evenings and weekends at home, hoping your bank account can recover from Christmas excesses. Restaurants have a lot of empty tables this time of year. Shops mostly process the return of unwanted Christmas presents. Now, this can and often is packaged as hygge. Candles, TV, sweaters, warm slippers, hot tea. But it's often just being broke and not being able to go anywhere. Yet if you're part of the top 20% of earners in Denmark, however, maybe even the top 10%, you go skiing. Not in Denmark, which doesn't have any mountains for downhill skiing, or enough snow for cross-country skiing. You go to Sweden for cheap skiing, Norway for slightly more expensive skiing, or to France or Switzerland for luxury skiing where you can show off your Rolex Explorer wristwatch on the slopes. Two different types of Januaries The two different types of Januaries illustrate how the gap between the rich and poor in Denmark has widened in recent decades.  Denmark is still, culturally, an egalitarian culture, and it's still considered bad taste to show off your Rolex watch here in Denmark, but there's no debating that as the country has become prosperous over the past 30 years, the gap between rich and poor has widened.

Is America an oligarchy? This debate between Andrea and Felix Salmon, author of The Phoenix Economy: Work, Life, and Money in the New Not Normal, took place over the summer, but was delayed due to Biden dropping out of the election and Kamala Harris taking his place. We're revisiting it this week to assess how well it has aged. America's twelve richest men are now worth a combined $2 trillion. One of them, Jeff Bezos, reportedly interfered with the independence of the Washington Post, triggering a mass exodus after he blocked the paper's endorsement of Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Another, Elon Musk, is threatening Republicans in Congress—one of the last remaining checks on our political system—warning that they must submit to Trump's White House or face his warchest in the GOP primaries. Musk spent over a quarter of a billion dollars on Trump's election and has been rewarded by being a sidekick President, meeting with world leaders, including Trump's recent call with Zelensky. A report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office this year revealed that “the top 10% of wealthy Americans now control 60% of the nation's wealth, while the poorer half of the country holds only 6%.” America braces for the impact of a second Trump White House, packed with billionaires and a PayPal mafia shadow presidency. Deregulation, monopolies, and tax cuts for the rich will exacerbate America's income inequality crisis and fuel further political unrest. Luigi Mangione, also known as the alleged Claims Adjuster assassin, sparked a national conversation this week in America. For a brief moment, Americans across the political spectrum set aside their differences and united around horror stories of insurance company greed. If we resist getting drawn into Republican-driven culture wars, we have the potential to unite with people from all sides of the political divide against a common enemy.
