On today's episode of "Lest We Forget Historical," host Lillian Cauldwell delves into an insightful article from Time Magazine titled **"The Rise of America’s Broligarchy and What to Do About It."** Who are the oligarchs, and how did they quickly gain control of our government?The article is co-authored by Lawrence Norden, Vice President of the Elections and Government Program at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law, and Daniel I. Weiner, Director of the same program.Together, they identify Elon Musk, the world's richest person, as a key figure in this "broligarchy." They explore how the current administration's decisions have allowed Musk to rampage through the federal government, shutting down agencies and firing workers without any regard for his own conflicts of interest. The authors highlight the danger of concentrated private interests capturing our political system and the urgent need to restrain or restrict such power take-overs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lest-we-forget-historical--5783063/support.🎙 Passionate World Talk Radio Network LLCWhere real conversations matter. 📧 Contact us: [email protected]🌐 Visit: www.passionateworldtalkradio.com📲 Follow & share with #PWTRN 💡 Support our station: [Insert donation or Ko-fi link here]👍 Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help us grow!
