Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the $20+ billion in taxpayer bailouts lavished on U.S. farmers under Trump—highlighting who’s cashing in, who’s left behind, and how the term “welfare queen” might apply to an unlikely class of recipients. We also shift focus to Hollywood and beyond, exploring how AI threatens to dismantle creative careers and hand over the keys to machines. Brace yourself for a provocative look at power, policy, and a future where both subsidies and algorithms rule.🎧 Listen for: • What’s really behind the farm bailouts & who benefits most • The moral and economic case against “elite welfare” • How AI could hollow out entire entertainment industries • What this all means for work, wealth, and inequality#QueenOfTheSubsidies #WelfareElite #FarmBailout #AIvsJobs #FutureOfWork #SubsidyScandal #ArtInTheMachine
