Welcome to our first podcast of the new year.
Leighton and I kick off the discussion about Mark Zuckerberg’s pivot on free speech and try to make sense of seizing Greenland as an American territory. The Danish government provides $500 million in annual subsidies to Greenland’s tiny population, affording residents generous health care and education. Trump could give a better deal, but does that mean Americans must fly to Greenland for free medical care? The H-1B debate may be infected with some online bigotry, but are accusations of “racism” yet another distraction from a serious issue?
We also chat about the continuing dystopia of Oakland and its decline as a new mayoral race gets underway.
