Episode 97: Walmart Loans

October 14, 2019

In this episode of The Bias Disruption, we talk about the changing face of work and how our world is not yet built to support that. We also discuss how social media giants like Facebook have intentionally killed the thing it created in order to make an effort to "remedy" the social ramifications of the thing it caused with the thing it created. Don't worry-it sounds less nuts when we say it out loud. Probably. We also talk about the differences between indentured servitude and Walmart's employee loans program.
