Since the mid-’90s, employers have been using an online system to verify the legal right of employees to work in the U.S. That system often falls short, and now employers have been encouraged to recheck workers' legal status as the Trump administration has canceled work authorizations for hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

Cato Podcast - Cato Cage Match: Education vs. Health Care
Michael F. Cannon and Neal McCluskey let us listen in on their ongoing 20-year debate over who has the more difficult job -- fixing health care or education. McCluskey argues that government's monopolistic control over K-12 education and compulsory schooling creates a more fundamental threat to freedom, while Cannon contends that health care is even more dysfunctional due to cascading government interventions that have created the world's most expensive and gap-ridden health system. Both scholars explore how government subsidies drive up costs in their respective sectors and outline their visions for more libertarian, market-based alternatives.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Why Some Chicago Malls Are Thriving
While Ford City Mall in West Lawn faces demolition and going the way of many of its mall brethren, two other suburban shopping centers in the area are thriving. A “reader’s choice” report from USA Today says Oakbrook Center in the western suburbs and The Fashion Outlets of Chicago in Rosemont are among the best in the nation.
Reset looks at what makes these and other Chicago-area shopping centers great and discusses how local malls are changing to draw visitors at a time when malls nationwide have been in decline.

Audio Mises Wire - Rethinking Sociology with Mises: A New Austro-Libertarian Framework for Understanding Society
Is Austrian Economics compatible with modern sociology, which is presently dominated by collectivists? However, it is possible to apply praxeology to sociology analysis, and that is where one begins to approach this discipline in a manner that promotes liberty.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - Classic: The UFO over Montreal
In the foggy, early evening of November 7th, 1990, two people at a Montreal hotel noticed something bizarre in the sky. Soon, multiple people in the hotel had gathered on a rooftop terrace to observe a genuine UFO -- and, soon after that, people across the city began reporting the object (if it was an object). In the almost three decades after this sighting, numerous witnesses, experts, fringe researchers and skeptics have attempted to explain exactly what was hovering over the sky for hours that evening. Join the guys as they delve into the case in tonight's Classic episode.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Hawks v talks: barriers to peace in Gaza
Even as Western countries band together to condemn Israel’s actions, aid remains at a trickle and the war is expanding into a central-Gazan city. We ask how the horrors might end. As with many technologies before it, many worry artificial intelligence will ultimately dumb down its human users; will it? And why so many American men are injecting testosterone.
