Bad Faith - Episode 436 – Elon & Vivek’s H1-B Crash Out

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

This week Brie is joined by a stacked panel of journalists -- Irami Osei-Frimpong, Q Anthony Ali, &  Zaid Jilani -- to discuss the new divide on the right that emerged after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy defended the use of H1-B visas to import labor from India for tech jobs. Conservative opponents of these visa recipients find themselves making populist arguments decrying the downward pressure on American wages and the competitive disadvantage college debt causes for American workers. But at the same time, they engage in racist anti-Indian stereotyping. Are Elon and Vivek right about American culture making workers too apathetic and less competitive? Do Americans suffer from watching too much Saved by the Bell and not enough Whiplash (a real argument made by Vivek)? And does this discourse provide an opportunity for the left to provide a material anaysis that could start to draw right populists to the left?

NPR's Book of the Day - In ‘All Fours,’ Miranda July tackles love, sex and reinvention in middle age

Writer and filmmaker Miranda July says the popular imagination sort of drops off once a woman gets married and has kids. Her new novel All Fours turns that on its head – it's a story about an artist in her 40s who departs from her husband and child on a road trip that takes her to some very unexpected places. In today's episode, July speaks to NPR's Brittany Luse about the interviews she conducted with women going through perimenopause and menopause for this book, and the whisper network with her friends that fueled her protagonist's deep desire for something new.
