221,812 Jobs Lost: Inside the Mass Walmart Layoffs Reshaping America’s Economy in 2025 18:50

for 23 hours siden18:50

18:50

America is facing its most severe wave of job cuts since the height of the Covid-19 crisis — and it's only February. With over 221,000 jobs eliminated in the first two months of 2025 — a 33% jump from last year — this episode breaks down the real drivers behind the layoffs hammering both the public and private sectors. We begin with a look at the federal government, where President Trump’s aggressive policies — including major federal workforce reductions and a potential dismantling of the Department of Education — have contributed to over 62,000 government jobs lost , or 28% of total cuts so far this year. Next, we shift to retail, where technology and tariffs have collided with consumer trends to spark a 570% surge in retail job cuts . We discuss Walmart’s controversial decision to lay off nearly 1,500 corporate staff and its stark warning about price hikes hitting shelves by May , blaming escalating tariffs that Washington says businesses should absorb — not customers. Listeners will hear how AI, omni-channel disruption, and the rise of platform ecosystems are transforming retail expectations, forcing businesses to radically optimize operations or risk collapse. We'll unpack why cost control, brand purpose, and circular strategies are becoming make-or-break priorities for retailers. We’ll also explore: Why Moody’s downgraded the U.S. credit outlook How Walmart is reengineering its supply chain to rely less on China The political and economic clash brewing over tariffs And what all of this means for job seekers, small businesses, and consumers alike. This isn’t just an economic shift — it’s a systemic shock. Tune in as we unpack the policies, pressures, and platforms remaking America’s job market and retail sector in 2025.…

The 2049 Playbook: China's Long Game for Global Power 14:23

for 23 dager siden14:23

14:23

What does it mean when a nation plans its rise to global dominance decades in advance? In this episode, we uncover China’s meticulously calculated strategy to achieve global prominence by 2049—the centennial of the People's Republic. At the heart of this grand vision lies the concept of the "Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation" , an effort deeply rooted in restoring China’s central role in the world. But this isn’t just about national pride—it’s a strategic transformation of economic, military, technological, and geopolitical power, measured through a unique metric called Composite National Strength (CNS). We explore how technological self-reliance , through initiatives like Made in China 2025 and massive investments in critical tech sectors, forms the backbone of this strategy. China's focus on dominating high-end chips, quantum tech, AI, and energy systems isn't just about development—it's about global leverage. And companies like CATL are central players, expanding globally while raising red flags for the U.S. and its allies due to their tight integration with China’s state apparatus. From the Belt and Road Initiative to its growing portfolio of overseas infrastructure and alternative financial systems, China is playing the long game. Yet its actions often come cloaked in plausible deniability , challenging Western policymakers to connect the dots. This episode breaks down China’s strategy, the risks it poses to national security, and the emerging counter-moves—from the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC) to new global tech alliances. Whether you see China as a pacing rival or a calculated hegemon-in-waiting, one thing is clear: the world can no longer afford to underestimate the 2049 playbook.…
