Podcasts about shortages

If this keeps up, we might all long to have the machines take over. In this episode, the Inflation Guy discusses the victory of a socialist candidate in the New York City mayoral primary this week - and, even if we would like to hope that he has no chance of winning in the general election...he does. Ergo, we should probably think a little bit about what socialism means for inflation.  Really, nothing about socialism is great. And that includes inflation.

Our focus on this episode is the behavioral health workforce. More than a third of the U.S. population lives in areas with shortages of psychologists, counselors and social workers, and nearly two-thirds of shortage areas are rural. Those workforce shortages occur during a period when many experts, including those at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have concluded we have a mental health crisis. Data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMHSA, indicates that for more than two decades half the people in need of behavioral health services in the U.S. did not receive them. Joining the discussion are Karmen Hanson, a senior fellow at NCSL; Brianna Lombardi, an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Jeff Shumway, the director of Utah's Office of Professional Licensure Review.Lombardi discussed her experiences in researching the workforce shortage and explained some its complexities. Shumway gave a state-level perspective on how regulation can affect the workforce. Hanson broke down the efforts in legislatures to address the workforce issues.ResourcesAllied Health Professions: Considerations for State Legislatures, NCSLHealth Workforce Legislation Database, NCSLHealth Care Workforce Resources, NCSLScope of Practice Policy Database, NCSL 

Elliot Hyman, CEO of the Lyra Technology Group, joins Dave Sobel to discuss the evolving landscape of IT management, particularly in light of Microsoft's new Windows Update orchestration platform. This initiative allows app developers to integrate their update processes into the Windows 11 framework, creating a more unified and controlled update experience similar to that of mobile operating systems like iOS. Hyman emphasizes that while this could streamline the user experience, it may also pose challenges for third-party patch management tools, raising questions about the future of these applications in a Microsoft-dominated ecosystem.The conversation delves into the tension between standardization and customization in IT services. Hyman reflects on the importance of standardization for efficiency and stability within managed service providers (MSPs), while also acknowledging the need for flexibility to meet diverse customer requirements. He highlights that the complexity of the Windows environment means there will likely be room for both first-party and third-party solutions, as customers have varying preferences and needs.As the discussion shifts to artificial intelligence (AI), Hyman shares insights from recent surveys indicating a disconnect between business leaders and IT executives regarding technology readiness. He notes that while AI has the potential to enhance productivity, many organizations are still grappling with its implementation. Hyman believes that the current stage of AI adoption is akin to the early days of the internet, suggesting that significant changes and value creation are on the horizon as businesses learn to integrate AI into their operations.Finally, Hyman addresses the challenges in the labor market, particularly the decline in entry-level job opportunities for new graduates. He emphasizes the importance of investing in talent development within organizations, advocating for a "build first" approach to hiring. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, Hyman envisions a future where technology service providers can elevate their role in the business ecosystem, ultimately becoming invaluable partners for small and medium-sized businesses.

Hello to you listening in North Platte, Nebraska!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit mire) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Maybe like me you could use a bit of good news right  about now. What if you could find the “best America there ever was?” Best-selling author and award-winning journalist Bob Greene found it in a small town, North Platte, Nebraska. As the story goes: During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains en route to their ultimate destinations in Europe and the Pacific. What happened next?Prompted by one woman's idea this tiny town of 12,000 people transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen. Every day of the year, every day of the war years the Canteen - staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers - was open from five A.M. until the last troop train pulled away a little after midnight. In a time of coupons, shortages, and doing without that comes with war this community provided welcoming words, support, baskets of produce, fresh-baked goods, homemade sandwiches, magazines, books, bottles of milk, cauldrons of coffee, and treats to more than six millions GIs by the time the war ended four years later.Think about it. At a time of national adversity, crisis and deprivation because everything was going to the troops and the war effort, ordinary people pulled together to honor their country's brave sons by giving from the heart and their kitchens, their fields and dairies. Interviews with some of the volunteers and servicemen tell a love story of small-town generosity because it was something that they could do.Question: Yes, these times are perilous; but so was World War II. We might feel like we're fighting a war on our own soil for the first time since the Civil War. But we are not lost when we choose to summon the great expanse of hope that is the human heart. If 12,000 ordinary persons could care for six million GIs, what is in our power to do? Where is the next “best America there ever was?”Click to access book: Once Upon a Town - The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen by Bob GreeneYou're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

France is opening its arms to foreign scientists, particularly from the US, as the Trump administration pulls back from climate research. French GPs and trainee doctors are up in arms over proposals to address 'medical deserts', which they say would make the problem worse. And as Europe marks the 80th anniversary of Europe Day, Algeria commemorates the 8 May, 1945 massacre of civilians by French colonial forces.  Ever since US President Donald Trump started defunding and dismantling US scientific institutions, France has made a push to get scientists to move. In March the French minister in charge of research asked universities to fund programmes to attract American scientists. In 2017, after Trump first pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accords, Macron launched a recruitment drive aimed at climate scientists working in the US. Two of those grantees, Ben Sanderson and Philip Shulz, talk about the experience of leaving the US for France, and what the current environment is like for climate scientists today. (Listen @1'10)With 87 percent of France considered a "medical desert", lawmakers and the government are looking to tackle doctor shortages. But the proposals – to regulate when specialists can open their private practices and require health professionals to work two days a month in areas with chronic shortages – have met with strong opposition from GPs, trainee doctors and students. Yassine Bahr, vice-president of the French junior doctors union (ISNI), and Anna Boctor, president of France's Jeunes Medecins (young doctors) union, talk about why the proposals won't solve the problem and the sense of injustice at being held responsible for a situation that is not of their making. (Listen @20'20)On 8 May 1945, during a celebration of the end of WWII in Europe in the Algerian city of Setif, French colonial authorities shot at Algerians holding pro-independence signs. The ensuing riots then spread to neighbouring cities where the authorities  unleashed a campaign of reprisals to crush the unrest – indiscriminately killing tens of thousands of Algerian men, women and children. France has yet to officially acknowledge its role in the massacres. (Listen @15'00)Episode mixed by Cécile PompeaniSpotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.

At the height of the Third Reich's war production there were nearly five million additional German and foreign workers in the war economy. Despite the efforts made by Albert Speer to rationalise the war economy and make it more efficient, there was still too few workers to compete with the combined military production of the allied powers. Workers from Germany, from occupied western countries and from allied countries like Italy and Hungary were recruited though non German workers were paid less and treated badly. The poverty and ill health of Polish workers and Russian POWs meant that heavy labour tasks were impossible, only 5% of the Russian POWs were fit for any kind of work at all. *****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/explaininghistory.

The Warning Wrapped in Fiction Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged used to be considered dystopian fiction. Now, for many of us watching the modern world unravel, it feels more like a prophetic blueprint. In this episode, we dive into the eerie parallels between Rand's vision of a crumbling society—and the slow collapse playing out around us today. The Rise of Incompetence In Atlas Shrugged, skilled workers, engineers, and innovators walk away as bureaucrats and paper-pushers take control. Sound familiar? Today, government agencies balloon with red tape while infrastructure, like trains, power grids, and bridges, worsens yearly. Expertise is ignored. Bureaucracy is rewarded. And the people who still know how to do things are being sidelined. Demonizing the Productive Rand warned about the demonization of success. Look around: entrepreneurship is labeled “privilege,” working too hard is “toxic,” and profit is a dirty word. In the novel, those who produced were taxed and regulated into silence. In real life, we see a culture that punishes competence and celebrates mediocrity. This isn't theory—it's happening now. Blackouts, Shortages, and Stalled Supply Chains In the book, trains stop running. Entire cities lose power. Goods vanish from shelves. It's no longer far-fetched. Between supply chain collapses, energy instability, and labor strikes, we're seeing real-world echoes of Rand's fictional breakdown. Factories closing. Supermarkets thin on essentials. Delivery delays are stretching from days to months. Who Is John Galt? In Atlas Shrugged, the productive minority goes into hiding, refusing to support a system that punishes effort. In our world, many are quitting high-stress jobs, moving off-grid, or finding ways to live with less government and more independence. That's where preppers shine—we've been preparing for this shift all along. Lessons for Preppers Don't count on the system. It's already showing cracks. Reward competence—in yourself and in your community. Value production over appearances. Skill beats status every time. Build your parallel systems—food, power, comms, security. Be ready to walk away from broken structures before they fall on you. Final Thought Whether or not you agree with Ayn Rand's philosophy, one thing's clear: Atlas Shrugged isn't just a book anymore. It's a warning. And it's being played out in slow motion. Preppers aren't shocked—we've seen it coming. But now it's time to act like we mean it. Because when the world shrugs… you'd better be standing.

Terry Savage, nationally syndicated financial columnist and author, joins Lisa Dent to talk about the yet-unseen effects of tariffs on the consumers.

With the recent retirements of longtime Dungeons & Dragons luminaries Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, the hosts take a thoughtful look at the history of these figures, their legacy, and what their departure means for the game's future. The episode explores the consequences of Hasbro's increasing influence on creative decisions, the fallout from the OGL crisis, and the failure of initiatives like the Sigil VTT. Throughout, the hosts consider what lies ahead for D&D—whether the game will weather the storm of corporate missteps or if third-party publishers will seize the moment to redefine the RPG landscape. Amid uncertainty, one thing is clear: the future of the game will be shaped by both the community's response and the creative forces willing to strike out on their own. Key Takeaways The State of Dungeons & Dragons Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford, two of D&D's most influential figures, have stepped down. Perkins has worked on D&D since 1988, while Crawford helped shape 5e's identity. Their exit signals the end of a creative era and raises questions about who will lead next. Hasbro's increased focus on profitability has compromised creative freedom. The OGL crisis alienated fans and damaged trust in Wizards of the Coast. Sales of the 2024 Player's Handbook were record-breaking but still missed expectations. Shortages of physical books suggest logistical and planning issues. Industry and Community Impacts The Sigil VTT project, led by video game designers, failed to meet community needs. Layoffs and leadership changes have made the future of D&D increasingly uncertain. Many believe D&D is leaving its "golden age" and entering a phase of instability. Hasbro's corporate oversight has placed immense pressure on remaining design staff. Amanda (noted designer) is recognized as talented but remains controversial. The rise of third-party developers may usher in a more decentralized RPG scene. Players are growing more divided over recent content, pricing, and delivery models. The shift toward digital may alienate some fans and raise the cost of entry. Despite frustrations, many still wish D&D and its former designers well.
