Deep dives
Impact of Federal Sanctions on Alaska
The Biden administration has imposed sanctions on Alaska more than on Iran, with 56 executive actions targeting the state, hindering investment and growth in key industries like oil, gas, timber, and mining. These actions have created uncertainty, leading to a chilling effect on investment and causing a stagnant population, with young people leaving for better opportunities in lower 48 states. Alaskan viability as a state is at risk due to restrictions on resource development and economic growth.
Environmental Impact and Development Obstruction in Alaska
Despite Alaska's responsible resource development practices under strict environmental regulations, the Biden administration's actions threaten to turn the state into a de facto national park. The administration's restrictions, including canceling oil leases in ANWR, banning offshore oil leases, limiting timber production, and hampering natural resource access, hamper economic growth, discourage investment, and restrict job opportunities.
Challenges Faced by Alaska due to Federal Overreach
Alaska struggles against federal government overreach, using state resources to battle the authorities, escalating legal challenges against the unjust actions targeting the state's industry and economy. Collaboration with other states, congress members, senators, and governors is sought to jointly address the adverse impacts of federal policies, attract attention to Alaska's predicament, and mobilize support for defending the state's economic growth and independence.
Support and Advocacy for Alaska's Economic Prosperity
Achieving awareness and amplification of Alaska's challenges, equipping citizens with actionable information to stand against federal restrictions, partnering with relevant stakeholders like media outlets and organizations to push for fair policies and equitable treatment, increasing public knowledge and support for Alaska's economic rights, and rallying national attention and involvement for the state's economic health and sustainability.
Independent Contractors and Employee Status
Independent contractors value the freedom to choose their schedules, hours, and clientele, contrasting with the fixed structure of being an employee. The debate over employee versus contractor status has been underscored by discussions involving Lyft, Uber drivers, and Minneapolis City Council regulating working conditions for gig workers. The tension between independence and regulation in the workforce is a central theme.
Challenges Faced by Freelancers and Gig Economy Workers
The impact of California's AB5 bill on freelancers and gig economy workers has sparked concerns over loss of flexibility and job opportunities. The prevalence of freelancing in the economy, with over 70 million freelancers nationwide, has raised questions about the balance between worker freedom and regulatory frameworks. The discussion touches on the broader societal shift towards valuing stability over risk-taking and entrepreneurial spirit.
Importance of Skills-Based Education and Debt Concerns
Promoting skills-based education, as advocated by individuals like Mike Rowe, gains significance amidst rising student debts and escalating college costs. The need to address the growing skills gap and encourage vocational training is highlighted. The conversation extends to addressing national issues like the staggering national debt, the impact of war on obesity, and the criticality of empowering the workforce across various sectors. The shifting landscape of education and job opportunities adds complexity to the ongoing dialogue on enhancing America's workforce resilience.
Global Health Project co-founder and president Dr. Kat Lindley joins to discuss the terrifying moves the WHO is making that threaten America’s sovereignty. Glenn reveals all the ways China is manipulating Americans to destroy our country from within. American judges are now being gag-ordered to say nothing about the border that isn’t preapproved. Governor Mike Dunleavy (R-Alaska) joins to blast President Biden for the "economic warfare" being put on Alaska, as the state has received more sanctions than foreign countries. Glenn goes through the unconstitutional Corporate Transparency Act and how it will negatively affect small businesses. Executive producer and host of "Dirty Jobs" Mike Rowe joins to discuss the attack on small businesses and gig workers such as truck drivers. Do you really need to go to college? Glenn and Mike also discuss the worsening tensions between Americans.
