Quiet Quitting, Zuckerberg on Rogan, Mar-a-Lago Affidavit, No Djokovic

Ravi and Rikki share their takes on the viral phenomenon of quiet quitting and connect it to the trends we’re seeing across the U.S. labor force.

The hosts take full stock of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s appearance on Joe Rogan, including his company’s role in censoring reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop, Zuckerberg’s vision for augmented and virtual reality, Facebook’s “defense budget” and how it uses algorithms.

Ravi and Rikki tackle the heated fight between parents and school officials at Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, a battle for equity in admissions taking place with a SCOTUS decision on affirmative action looming in the backdrop.

The hosts finish up with two updates on the newly released and heavily redacted Mar-a-Lago affidavit and Novak Djokovic skipping the U.S. Open over his vaccination status.
