9 MAG 2025 · Nicotine pouches, marketed heavily by companies like Philip Morris, are becoming increasingly popular, especially among younger audiences. These products are designed to be discreet and easy to use, often promoted as a "safer" alternative to smoking, despite the fact that they still contain nicotine, an addictive substance. The FDA’s authorization of nicotine pouches has raised concerns, as it could be seen as a green light for companies to market directly to youth, who may not be aware of the long-term health risks.

3 MAG 2025 · Congress recently overturned a rule that would have limited how much banks and credit card companies can charge in late fees. Now, if you miss a payment, you could get hit with a hefty fee, sometimes $30 or higher. This change will hit people with low incomes the hardest, especially those already struggling to keep up with bills. Critics say it’s unfair and just helps banks profit more off vulnerable people, while supporters argue that higher fees are necessary to keep the financial system running smoothly and to encourage people to pay on time. I discuss this and ways for you to avoid paying these fees.

18 APR 2025 · The Trump administration’s decision to end the DOJ’s settlement agreement on Lowndes County’s sewage crisis marked a major setback in environmental justice and reignited concerns about environmental racism. The agreement, launched under Biden, aimed to address severe household sewage dispoal issues in the predominantly Black rural county. Citing a ban on federal DEI initiatives, the Trump administration’s move highlights the continued neglect of marginalized communities facing environmental health risks.

11 APR 2025 · Ageism significantly contributes to homelessness among Americans aged 55 and older, as highlighted in the 2024 HUD report. This demographic often faces unique challenges, such as limited income opportunities, especially due to job discrimination based on age. As individuals age, they may experience bias in hiring practices, reduced job security, or forced retirement, leaving them without the financial means to secure stable housing. In the workplace, ageism manifests through stereotypes, such as the assumption that older workers are less adaptable or less tech-savvy, which can hinder their chances of employment or promotion. Without sufficient support, older Americans are at increased risk of falling into homelessness, as they struggle to maintain adequate employment and savings later in life.

4 APR 2025 · Book bans in U.S. public schools and libraries continue to escalate, with PEN America reporting a significant rise in the number of book challenges, particularly those addressing race, gender, and LGBTQ+ themes. The group found hundreds of books targeted for removal or restriction, reflecting broader efforts led by organizations like Moms for Liberty, which pushes to limit access to books they deem inappropriate for children. The Southern Poverty Law Center has reported that these efforts often align with political and ideological movements, aiming to restrict educational content. Critics argue that these bans harm intellectual freedom and limit students' exposure to diverse perspectives.

28 MAR 2025 · Predatory lending through earned wage advance apps and payday loans disproportionately targets vulnerable low-wage workers, particularly those in the gig economy or service industries, many who earn less than $50K per year. These individuals, often living paycheck to paycheck, are drawn to the promise of quick cash but are hit with exorbitant interest rates, sometimes exceeding 300% APR's. According to the Center for Responsible Lending, these high rates and hidden fees can quickly spiral out of control, trapping borrowers in a cycle of debt. Instead of providing relief, these loans often exacerbate financial instability, leaving workers worse off and caught in a cycle of borrowing just to stay afloat.

14 MAR 2025 · The ongoing discussion around NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals, their tax implications, and the future of college athletics has been heating up in recent years. One key topic is whether NIL deals should be tax-exempt, with some arguing that athletes should not be taxed for using their own name and likeness, while others maintain that they should be treated like any other form of earned income. In this episode I discuss NIL deals, states that are pushing for tax exemptions on NIL Deals, and the House Vs. NCAA settlement.

7 MAR 2025 · The opioid settlement, which resulted in billions of dollars from major pharmaceutical companies like Johnson & Johnson, McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen, is designed to address the opioid crisis by funding addiction treatment, prevention, and recovery efforts. Critics argue that the distribution process lacks transparency and being misdirected toward administrative costs rather than direct support for addiction recovery.
In this episode I discuss the opioid settlement, where the money is going and what is currently the state of the opioid crisis in America.

28 FEB 2025 · Wage theft is a serious issue in the United States, particularly affecting low-wage workers like restaurant staff, retail employees, and home care workers. Employers often fail to pay employees for overtime, force them to work off the clock, or withhold tips, leaving workers with less than they’re owed. It’s estimated that U.S. workers lose billions of dollars each year due to wage theft. While some states have enacted stronger laws and enforcement mechanisms, the problem persists, and many workers are unaware of their rights or too afraid to report abuse. In this episode I reivew where this occurring, who is most affected and what is being done to prevent it.
