Summary

The UAW joined the Summer of Strikes last week in an effort to push Detroit’s three major automakers to raise wages. The hosts discuss what makes this strike different from the others and how this wave of strikes could alter the labor landscape. A school principal has taken an unconventional approach to anonymous social media accounts. Ravi and Rikki debate the move and suggest other solutions to combat the rise in anonymous social media accounts and cyberbullying. Finally, the Biden administration has proposed sweeping changes to antitrust enforcement. Will this ambitious new push reshape our economy or backfire?
