Back to Business | BOYCOTTS, AI & JUSTICE

In this episode of the Back to Business Podcast, we explore four stories shaping conversations around culture, technology, justice, and the future of the Middle East. 🔹 Brooklyn Co-op Boycott Sparks National Response A vote by members of New York City's Park Slope Food Coop to boycott Israeli products has ignited controversy and prompted a nationwide response. 🔹 Assyrian Groups Reject Land Distribution Plan in Tel Keppe Assyrian organizations are raising concerns over a proposed land distribution initiative in the historic Christian town of Tel Keppe, Iraq. We discuss what it takes to preserve one of the Middle East's oldest indigenous communities after decades of war, displacement, and demographic change. 🔹 America's AI Boom Faces a Data Center Bottleneck Artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented technological growth, but can America's infrastructure keep up? We examine how power shortages, permitting delays, and increasing demand for computing capacity could impact the nation's position in the global race for AI leadership. 🔹 Michigan Exoneree Compensation Reform Michigan lawmakers are considering changes to the state's wrongful imprisonment compensation law. We discuss whether people who have been proven innocent should ever face additional barriers to receiving compensation and what meaningful justice looks like after a wrongful conviction. Join us as we break down today's headlines, ask difficult questions, and explore the issues shaping our world. 🎙️ New episodes of the Back to Business Podcast premiere every Wednesday at 10 AM.
