Podcast And Chill on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast ft Alexis

Image
This is a true story about overcoming the challenges of life. Alexis sat with us and shared a few pages of her upcoming book which is a true story about her young life. She talked about how she grew up in a violent home in the projects of #Philadelphia where she and her siblings witnessed the constant violence between their mom and dad. She revealed how she was also molested by a family member and later locked up and while incarcerated developed an interest in art, music, and writing which she honed. She is out of prison and working on several projects. The interview was done in audio with Donte Nelson, Co-Producer, and Renaldo McKenzie, Host and Producer in studios at The NeoLiberal Corporation. We added background imagery and music to augment your listening and watching experience. We will have a video interview coming later this month with Alexis to delve some more into her story. #TheNeoliberalRound is a production of The NeoLiberal Corporation, a dynamic think tank, digital ne...

Is X the new resolve to Social Media?

Is social media becoming too serious with etiquettes transplanted by big businesses and politicians running for office? "Have you heard about #twitteretiquette or social media etiquette? As if social media is "serious" media or academia. So #elonmusk stepped in and now there's #xetiquette ," ( https://x.com/renaldomckenzie ). Donte and I elaborated on and discussed this recent Tweet on this episode of the podcast. We broke it down into several questions which we addressed on the podcast: 1. Should Social Media become serious media or academia? 2. Is there anything such as Twitter or social media etiquette? 3. Will Social Media return to being "Social"? 4. Is Elon Musk the X-Factor ushering "X" etiquette? There has been a myriad of debates and concerns about whether social media is responsible for abnormalities in teens and human beings without any credible evidence. Yet, social media a tool for human engagement and interaction at the inf...

🎙️ New Episode Alert: Unpacking Rising Poverty, Homelessness, and Economic Challenges in America 🏠💰 #Podcast #CommunityConcerns"

Image
  The rise in poverty, especially among children, can indeed have correlations with crime rates, as suggested by the concept of relative deprivation theory. This theory posits that individuals are more likely to engage in criminal activities when they perceive significant disparities between their economic situation and that of others in society. When people feel left behind or disadvantaged, it can lead to frustration, anger, and a sense of hopelessness, which may drive some individuals toward criminal behavior as a means to address their economic struggles. The increase in child poverty from 5.2% in 2021 to 12.4% in 2023 is a significant jump and could potentially contribute to higher crime rates among young people if not addressed effectively. The stress and adverse living conditions associated with poverty can lead to negative outcomes, including involvement in criminal activities. The federal government's decision to increase interest rates and concerns about a potential r...

News Update: Is Homelessness really decreasing in Philadelphia?

Image
  #newsupdate : I recently reposted Mr. Greg Goldman's comment about #homelessness in #Philadelphia decreasing. However, this may not be the case and we interviewed #DavidFair of @TP4C last year indicating the crisis in #Philly regarding homelessness especially among young people. So, we @theneoliberco were intrigued by this report so quickly after hearing that homelessness is worsening. But, recent information we obtained may cause us to update this story as my initial follow-up with #ProjectHome on the issue based on conversations today with a Manager there is indicating that #homelessness in #Philadelphia is actually increasing and that the report cited about the reduction is not accurate; it uses a #methodology that does not take into consideration all factors and experiences of homelessness. We are working on this story and will submit an article in #TheNeoliberalJournals and #TheNeoliberalPost . We are hoping to have a podcast exploring this later this week. https:...

On this special podcast production on Haiti, my discussions with R, revealed that Haitians are not opposed to a foreign intervention force, but calls for one that does not support the current leadership and allows for the restoration of democracy where Haitians are free to express themselves, and challenge their governments without the fear of retaliation and the ability to vote for credible and erudite new leadership. The discussions which included a special guest appearance by "R" a Haitian scholar, Pastor and University student living and working in Jamaica who has political connections with senior members in Haiti associated with the former President, Jovenelle Moise, who was assassinated on the 7th of July 2021. As a result, we are unable to provide details about R, will not reveal his name honoring his request to remain incognito. In fact, we had to blur out his face and name throughout the show by inserting a plethora of powerful and background videos and images rela...
