Edwin, Carol, and Team Black wish everyone happiness, health, and abundance on this day set aside for giving thanks.

Edwin gets to the nuts and bolts of capitalism.

Edwin takes on some unanswered—and still burning—questions. We save up  the questions we couldn’t get to, and these episodes give us a chance to address topics such as global antisemitism and the Stop the Genocide Against Israel initiative, AI, disinformation, corporate bad behavior, Turkey, China, Qatar, and more. Edwin also accepts new questions via the Zoom Q&A. Join us for another no-holds-barred, nothing-off-the-table session.

Yom HaGirush, observed on November 30, commemorates the 1950s expulsions of Jews from Iraq and other Arab states. David Kahtan, son of an Iraqi Jew, set out to understand how his father’s community vanished. The result of his search:
The Long Journey Home: The Untold Story of Iraq’s Jews.

AIs have escaped air-gapped sandboxes. Researchers are sounding dire warnings. Industry leaders are requesting regulation. 

Are we doomed again?

Confronting a condition millions are facing.
