This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who thinks the US is immune to the consequences of China's growing economic and military power. The speaker takes a hard look at the country's trade surplus, its control over rare earth metals, and its impact on the global supply chain.The conversation touches on the story of thalidomide, a drug that was given to pregnant women in the 1960s without their knowledge or consent, resulting in birth defects. The speaker highlights the contrast between the US and China's approaches to compensation for those affected, and questions whether the US should be paying for the mistakes of a private company rather than holding China accountable.The episode also explores the world of birdwatching, where a rare species was spotted in Colorado, and the speaker uses this as a metaphor for the US's reliance on China for critical components. He explains how China's control over rare earth metals, antibiotics, and other essential goods gives it significant leverage over the US economy.The speaker argues that the US needs to wake up to the reality of its situation and take action to maintain its status as a world superpower. He suggests that the country's prosperity and freedom are dependent on its ability to compete with China, and that the consequences of inaction will be severe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mobidictum Conference in Istanbul, October 7–8: fifth year, 80% of the top Turkish studios in the room, 20 Vietnamese and 30 Chinese companies, 60% international attendance for the first time, and all three of us on stage. Batuhan has free tickets for the 2.5 Gamers audience, so reach out.Turkey went from zero gaming news for five years to producing the most consistent hit-making machine in mobile, and in this episode we sit down with Batuhan Avucan, founder of Mobidictum, to find out how that actually happened and what's coming next. The short version: investors gave Turkish founders one mandate, puzzle, and Turkish founders executed. The Sort category alone went from basically nothing in 2023 to roughly $80M a month in IAP, and once you add ad revenue on top it's easily $120M a month, spearheaded by Pixel Flow, Magic Sort, Hexa Sort and friends. Block is dominated by Color Block Jam and Block Out from Grand Games, Match Blast and Match Factory are Peak's home turf, and match-3 is still a heavyweight fight between Dream and Playrix. But the interesting part is the machine underneath it: studios that grew up working with publishers like Rollic and Lion, learned the craft, then went solo and shipped Loom and RotateLab-sized results. Batuhan puts it better than we can: "We don't train talent anymore, we train founders."

Stephen Grootes speaks to Bronwyn Williams, Retail Analyst, about Shein’s shrinking profit margin and its move towards higher-priced clothing. When Shein entered South Africa, there were fears its ultra-cheap fast fashion model would seriously disrupt local clothing retailers. But that hasn’t happened to the extent many expected. What protected local retailers, and does Shein’s latest strategy suggest the limits of the ultra-cheap fast fashion model are now becoming clearer? In other interviews, John Loos, Independent Economist talks about the sharp fuel price increases expected in October and whether government should step in to cushion motorists and the wider economy. Current projections point to petrol rising by around R3 a litre, potentially pushing 95 unleaded close to R30 a litre inland, while diesel could also rise by more than R3.

Autobouwers hadden het eigenlijk al een beetje opgegeven met de elektrische auto. Maar door de hoge olieprijs schaffen Europeanen hem ineens tóch aan. Vorige maand stegen de verkopen in Duitsland met 75 procent, in Frankrijk zelfs met 100 procent. Deze aflevering hebben we het over die cijfers. Je hoort wat er achter zit, of die groei verder doorzet en of dit dan de redding is van de Duitse auto aandelen. Hebben we het ook over het grootste pensioenfonds van Nederland. Dat gaat nu meer beleggen buiten de beurs. Ze gaan namelijk meer investeren in startups en scale-ups. Gaat dat ten kosten van aandelen? We zoeken het uit.

The Trump administration is weighing a policy change that would redirect federal childcare funds from low-income, working parents to married couples with a stay-at-home parent. Washington University sociologist Caitlyn Collins says the move doesn't reflect the will or needs of the American people. Collins, who authored the book “Making Motherhood Work: How Women Manage Careers and Caregiving,” shares insight on public policies that are proven to support both working parents and stay-at-home parents and discusses her latest research on how families in the St. Louis area navigate the childcare market.

Sept. 17, 2026 - A state-appointed monitor is being credited with watering down lucrative local subsidies handed over to an Amazon warehouse project in the Hudson Valley, so we wanted to explore whether this model could work in the rest of the state. We discuss the Orange County experience and the potential expanded oversight of taxpayer subsidies with State Sen. James Skoufis, an Orange County Democrat.

Elk jaar krijgen bedrijven in ons land 25 miljard euro aan subsidies. Maar worden die wel allemaal even goed besteed? ­ De begrotingen van al onze overheden kleuren donkerrood. Alleen al de federale regering moet op zoek naar 10 miljard euro. Sommige partijen willen dat geld halen bij de sociale zekerheid of de gezondheidszorg. Maar wat met de vele subsidies aan bedrijven, valt daar nog iets te rapen? Want dat gaat om een uitgavenpost van 25 miljard euro. Per jaar. ­ Waar dienen al die subsidies precies voor? En leveren ze ook iets op, zoals tewerkstelling, innovatie en welvaart? ­ Alina Churikova praat erover met Stijn Decock en Ruben Mooijman en met Caroline Gysels van SCOPR in een nieuwe aflevering van onze wekelijkse economiepodcast Kop of munt. ­ Werkten mee aan deze aflevering: Journalisten Stijn Decock, Ruben Mooijman | Presentatie en redactie Alina Churikova | Eindredactie Yves Delepeleire, Ima Posselt | Audioproductie en muziek Pieter SantensSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

1849 DEUTSCHLANDAnalyzing Family Subsidies And National DebtVeronique de Rugy analyzes Vice President JD Vance's policy proposal to extend federal Child Care and Development Fund subsidies to stay-at-home parents. De Rugy contends that low-income single mothers cannot afford to leave the workforce, meaning the subsidies would primarily benefit higher-income households or families who had already chosen stay-at-home care. International examples in France, Norway, and Finland demonstrate that similar stay-at-home subsidies failed to reverse declining national fertility rates, benefiting higher-educated mothers instead. Furthermore, de Rugy criticizes proposals offering direct 5,000-dollar payments to citizens, warning that funding such initiatives through tariffs is financially unviable and would expand the national debt by over 1.35 trillion dollars.

Vice President JD Vance and a few other folks on the right beat the drum this weekend for a new bill to pay married families with one stay-at-home spouse based on the number of kids they have. Some people on the right defend the bill as “pro-family.” Others on the right lambaste it for being “pro-welfare state.” Some claim it merely redirects funds already in circulation. Others claim it represents a new entitlement altogether and that the bill is a classic case of “right-wing dressing” on top of a “left-wing salad.” In today's Capital Record, David calls a spade a spade – which is to say, he takes this awful anti-family, pro-welfare, statist idea to the woodshed.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine kick off Labor Day with a scheduling shakeup announcement before opening the phone lines for a full call in show. First up is a genuinely spicy debate over a proposed stay at home parent subsidy plan, with Jon arguing it's just another layer of government dependency dressed up as a conservative win, and Zak pushing back with a more sympathetic read on the policy. From there, the floor opens to listeners, including some pointed callback energy aimed at a certain online figure named Alpha who keeps coming up in the chat. Things take a hard left turn later when a caller with his own bad movie podcast introduces the guys to a legendarily terrible filmmaker whose work makes cult classics look polished by comparison. Expect the usual sponsor breaks, tangents, and hosts who clearly enjoy needling each other as much as their audience.

A closer look at one of the sharpest threads from our full conversation with Mohandas Pai. The complete episode - covering the Gen Z protests, the NEET crisis and India's youth unemployment story, along with everything below - is live here: https://youtu.be/hG48jHX7xks This cut focuses on the politics underneath it all: foreign funding, the Congress's search for direction, and what's actually broken in how India is governed. Pai opens with a hard line on foreign money in Indian civil society: no foreign funds for advocacy, no foreign funds for politics, and no exceptions for NGOs who want to influence Indian public life without raising money from Indians first. He questions the funding and online amplification behind recent protest movements, and argues India's FCRA framework - tightened originally under Indira Gandhi - exists precisely to prevent outside actors from shaping domestic politics and religious life. From there, the conversation turns to the Congress party's decline, with Pai arguing the party has failed to offer a real alternative to the government's delivery on basic needs - water, power, bank accounts, gas connections - and that without a clear agenda beyond cash guarantees, its Karnataka government under Siddaramaiah has little to show after three years. He makes the case for job creation over subsidies, using Karnataka's own numbers on jobs needed versus jobs delivered, and points to Bengaluru's recent civic turnaround as proof that leadership and accountability - not bigger budgets - are what change outcomes on the ground. The conversation closes on India's justice system: why the country has a fraction of the judges per capita that other democracies do, why delays in prosecuting corruption cases erode public trust, and what accountability would actually require. If you want the full context - including the NEET and jobs conversation that precedes this - the complete episode is linked above. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - Foreign money in Indian advocacy and politics (01:46) - The case for India's FCRA law (04:37) - Foreign funding, NGOs & accountability (06:43) - Religious conversion, foreign money & the churches (09:04) - Tech platforms, bots & the funding behind recent protests (10:27) - "What is the alternative Congress is giving?"

Initial output is 30,000 units a year, with Dutch prices from €27,995 ($32,000) and the next-generation BAYON and i20 to follow next year.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ 3 ORDER BOOKSHyundai Motor UK has opened orders for the IONIQ 3 compact hatchback from £22,245 on-the-road, positioning it against the Kia EV2, Renault 5 and VW ID Polo. Buyers choose a 42.2kWh battery with up to 213 miles or a 61kWh version with up to 308 miles, both charging 10-80% in about 30 minutes, and the car debuts Hyundai's Android Automotive-based PleOS Connect system. Grant eligibility is still pending.LUCID UNVEILS GRAVITY GT-SLucid's 2027 Gravity GT-S produces 1,070hp from a dual-motor powertrain and hits 0-60mph in 3.1 seconds, priced from $127,750 — about $14,000 below the outgoing Dream Edition. It comes with rear-wheel steering and adaptive air suspension as standard, while a 926V architecture supports 400kW charging that Lucid says adds 200 miles in under 12 minutes.FRANCE TO BACK USED ELECTRIC VEHICLESFrom September, France will subsidise used EV purchases and leases through the Energy Savings Certificates scheme, funded by energy suppliers including EDF, Engie and TotalEnergies under the polluter-pays principle. Cars must have been first registered in France between 2017 and 2023 and retain at least 80% battery capacity, with buyers required to keep the vehicle three years and to purchase through a dealer rather than privately.PORSCHE REPORTS POINT TO TAYCAN PHASE-OUTPorsche is reported to have agreed in principle with employee representatives to end Taycan production by 2029 or 2030, closing a roughly decade-long run, though nothing has been formalised or confirmed. Output has collapsed from 39,397 cars in 2023 to 11,510 in 2025, with first-half 2026 deliveries down 25% and no successor named as Porsche appears set to prioritise the electric Macan and Cayenne.TESLA ADDS V2L TO MODEL Y PREMIUMTesla has enabled vehicle-to-load for the Model Y Premium in the US and Puerto Rico, delivering 2.4kW at 120V via an $80 adapter that requires the Gen 3 Mobile Connector. Eligibility is narrower than the badge suggests, with reports indicating only newer Juniper-built cars from around May 2026 carry the necessary hardware, and Tesla still trails rivals offering up to 10.2kW.TESLA LEASES POWERWALL BACKUP IN TEXASTesla Electric is offering a whole-home Powerwall lease in selected Texas retail-choice areas for roughly $35 a month plus tax in year one, achieved by applying an $87 monthly credit to a two-unit lease costing about $122. The deal carries a 3% annual escalator, a $100 order fee, a 20% minimum backup reserve for virtual power plant dispatch, and credits that may not start until two billing cycles after installation and utility approval.CORVUS TO SUPPLY BATTERIES FOR BC FERRIES SUMMIT CLASSCorvus Energy will supply 40MWh of battery storage across four hybrid-electric Summit Class ferries for BC Ferries, each carrying 360 vehicles and 2,100 people and fitted with a 10MWh Dolphin NxtGen system. The hardware is scalable to 70MWh per vessel for near-zero-emission running once shore charging exists, with China Merchants' Weihai Shipyard delivering the first ship in 2029 and all four in service by 2031.FERRARI LUCE SELLS FOR $40 MILLIONChassis 0 of the Ferrari Luce, the marque's first EV and a one-off Tailor Made build designed by Sir Jony Ive's LoveFrom, sold for $40 million at RM Sotheby's Monterey auction, over 36 times its estimate and a record for a new car. The sale was offered without reserve and with no buyer's premium, sending the full amount to The Ferrari Foundation, with winning bidder Dr Herbert Wertheim taking delivery early next year.

The removal of Nigeria's fuel subsidy was presented as a difficult but necessary economic reform. Nigerians were told that the money previously spent on subsidy would be freed up and redirected toward infrastructure, social investment, and other priorities that would benefit the nation.However, along the line, something went wrong. What happened to that money, the lifesaving national fortune?Did subsidy removal deliver the economic benefits Nigerians were promised? How much was actually saved, where was it spent, and did ordinary Nigerians see meaningful value from the funds that were supposedly freed up?In this episode of the Dr Reju Podcast, we examine the questions surrounding subsidy removal, public spending, accountability, and the growing gap between government promises and the lived reality of Nigerians.Watch the full episode and join the conversation.#DrRejuPodcast #SubsidyRemoval #Nigeria #FuelSubsidy #AccountabilityInGovernance #PublicMoney

Corn subsidies, cartoon tigers, and fake health claims turned sugar into breakfast. Nick Pell digs to the bottom of the box on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1359On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Your innocent bowl of Corn Flakes was invented by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg — a Seventh-Day Adventist convinced that bland, flavorless food would stop people from masturbating. The great American breakfast staple is, at its root, a failed anti-vice experiment that accidentally became candy."Part of a balanced breakfast" and "the most important meal of the day" aren't dietician wisdom — the latter was minted by a 1944 Kellogg's ad campaign and simply repeated until it felt like science. The health halo around cereal was written by marketers, not doctors.Nutritionally, sugary cereal is equivalent to ice cream — some brands run north of 50% sugar with barely any protein or fiber. It spikes your blood sugar, leaves you hungry an hour later, and was engineered to be sold to six-year-olds parked in front of Saturday cartoons.Cereal stays cheap and unchallenged for a reason: corn is America's most subsidized crop — $9.3 billion in 2024 — and a phrase like "high in fiber" has no legal definition. Subsidies quietly fund the sugar while toothless FTC rules protect the claims on the box.The fix is refreshingly doable: treat cereal as an occasional treat, not a daily staple. Hunt down low-sugar or protein options, swap milk for Greek yogurt, or lean on eggs, oats and fruit. Give a better habit a month; small morning choices compound into real quality of life.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
