Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.126: Freedom in the Age of the Algorithm
Q: Why should we consider universal basic income if it could reshape labor participation?
UBI can empower individuals by reducing the reliance on means-testing and reducing the unemployment trap, while accompanying universal public services and lifelong learning to support a transition rather than a mere income transfer.
Ep.122: Anti-LGBT as a Strategic Threat
Q: Is that a conversation we should be having regarding the US rollback of LGBTQI plus protections under Trump?
I think it probably is at the moment, as the US heavily influences the global landscape regarding LGBTQI+ rights.
Ep.122: Anti-LGBT as a Strategic Threat
Q: What strategies can you pursue? What strategies are you pursuing that are most effective in countering these anti-LGBTQI plus narratives?
I'm doing work around research, engagement, and standing shoulder to shoulder with activists to demonstrate the normalization of LGBTQI+ rights.
Ep.120: Hungary’s Deepening Dependency on Russian Oil
Q: How can Hungary reconcile its increasing reliance on Russian crude with the idea of diversifying away from it?
The reliance is largely due to high tariffs on alternative routes, making Russian crude more economically viable.
Ep.120: Hungary’s Deepening Dependency on Russian Oil
Q: Does this pipeline, the new pipeline plan, Hungary-Serbia, does that have a name yet?
It's an interconnector and will have a capacity of up to 5 million tons of crude, primarily Russian crude.
