Six North Korean workers who fled Russia say they were subjected to abysmal working conditions, with most of the money they earned sent straight back to the North Korean regime. Also: The US and China agree a further postponement of hefty trade tariffs on each other's goods, and could holiday postcards make a comeback?

Another year and another record revenue report for the tribal gaming industry. The annual report by the National Indian Gaming Commission finds slot machines, table games, sports betting, and other enterprises reaped $43.9 billion in 2024. That’s up more than $2 billion from the previous year. But there are potential setbacks on the horizon that could affect gaming, including flagging consumer confidence, confusing foreign trade policies, and federal government’s diminished regard for tribal sovereignty. We’ll get a status update and a look ahead for tribal gaming.

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Beau Turner, the CEO and co-founder of Abundant Mines, joins us to talk about Pacific Northwest Bitcoin mining. Oregon and Washington have some of America's lowest power rates thanks to abundant hydropower, but there's less mining in the region than you might think. Beau explains the barriers keeping hashrate from the PNW, 9.9MW capacity limits, Oregon’s burgeoning curtailment programs, AI competition for power, and how early miners "poisoned the well" in 2018.
**Notes:**
• Oregon industrial power: 6-8¢/kWh
• Pacific NW has 200-500MW mining capacity
• BPA limits sites to 9.9MW blocks
• 100% bonus depreciation now available
• Texas has several gigawatts vs PNW
