hello and welcome sir that it's an idea. earlier today on the show we'll talk about the tokyo summer olympics which were postponed from 2020 but are happening this summer however not everyone is so excited about them our very own anders li sits down with no olympics organizer gigi to discuss why we should imagine the world without the olympics then i discuss how workers won a lawsuit against who were in the u.k. and the fake were shortage that's happening in the us then correspondent natalie mcgill breaks down recent changes to digital privacy laws but 1st here is anders li and she drove from milan fix gigi thanks for joining us. it's great to be here yeah

so now a lot of people are watching this they're probably thinking like hey i'm against gentrification i'm against militarism but the olympics like there's so much bad stuff happening in the world right now what is the problem with the olympics what's wrong little fun and games and why should it matter to people. well one of the biggest issues with the olympics is that. it is really the clearest example of the interconnected ways that capitalism and you know liberalism effect this if you are on the low that i'm too so when the olympics come to a city bring gentrification it brings us placement. it bring the military station the police the criminalization of homelessness and poverty ecological discretion struction and government option really all the biggest issues in the world capitalism bring our implied by the olympics the people who benefit from the

games are usually the wealthy and real states of affairs police elected officials media companies and they think this is and every day people in a city. who are on house and an expert anders and even the athletes themselves are not benefiting from these matter how much fun they see on t.v. right and you mentioned tokyo of course that's that's where the olympics was going to be in 2020 i guess some would argue the 2020 is still happening to us so it's on was not a postponement but it is going to be happening this summer you're in l.a. what coordination has no olympics l.a. had with activists in tokyo and what are some of the effects that planning and preparing for the olympics there has already had on japan. so one of the really exciting things that we did in the summer of 2019 was no one picks the organizing group part of. we were at

a transnational insee olympics summit in tokyo china which was a really cool international solidarity event. and sealant the organizers and and it's from around the world we had from tokyo who are hosting there were terrorists and of course from l.a. i think even well hong kong there were some who came and there were no i don't they didn't send anyone but if that is a message of solidarity and support so one of the really important things about knowing that is actually one of our slogans is no one takes anywhere because everywhere that these things happen not just in america or tokyo or. everywhere that these things happen a brain. he said and it's based on house. and it's this year they're. there celebrating the spread of co but there's

a campaign right now in washington village called ho ho tomes not hotels a sort of an insight your view the campaign one of the ways that air b.n. b. is already preparing for a late 20 eight's the 2028 games and how does how is this campaign against the olympics how does it intersect with that. so something that a lot of people don't know about heir view be they are a partner with some parents which is already. you know he french likes homes that hotels campaign was formed because real estate developers and this leads to. a hotel shortage for tourists and. when l.a. 21 happened and they are seeking to address this alleged shortage i think and demolishing properties. and transforming the hotels for luxury

condos there's actually this. 20 games are going to be no billable impacts as they're not buildings young's which technically isn't so high stadium was built partially because of the olympics it's likely this has been happening in places like inglewood where the so feisty game is where there are no rent control laws and if you are familiar with inglewood it's it's predominantly black and brown community and a lot of the other communities in los angeles that are affected are also black. their lives they sleep or for decades and they're being driven out because of. your marrow in l.a. eric garcetti has been a big proponent of the l.a. 28 games but what is his record bench so far on these issues of housing police infrastructure and how far back has she been pushing something like this at the expense of the people of boston. well he's actually been pushing for the

olympics since the very beginning the 1st thing he ever did the 2nd he was mayor was wrote a letter to the i.o.c. it's like he's thinking here there's been problems with whois nest. in los angeles ever since he started. they were they. sleep and the own place of business and a project this is what he's been focusing on instead of getting housed. or any of the these and asking for this trying to do he was sort of trying to do what they probably needed but he likes to be kings and if he says it's something where it's that and. president or whatever. and it's actually pretty obvious he doesn't really care about anything in los angeles. he doesn't even care about the olympics in los angeles in a weird way he really just cares about. his own power 2017 for example when

it was founded one out of 3 days out of town campaigning for the olympics and themselves while ignoring growing human rights of poverty and housing in los angeles and he's also claimed the homelessness will not exist by 2020. and if that's true it'll as we begin this project as a form of elimination over oh then you will need poverty. you know it's it's just really. yeah it's obvious that he wants to highlight problem and not actually help because once it's like. which is really what the olympics always do that every. will. in the 1984 games actually very specifically. somebody suggested and city council that they recently everybody in the on house house you know i like

a farm like outside of los feliz i think. which is really gross i mean people were living on the street you know. you don't just if them out so farm that's don't even do that with jobs like. yeah yeah like as you mentioned l.a. did hold the olympics in in 1904 and it seems like there's a bit of a different recollection from someone like eric carr said he was a kid at the time and a father and in law enforcement city government and probably most people especially poor black and brown people in los angeles what what was that discrepancy like now almost 30 years ago over 30 years. so in our study in his friend casey wasserman who's the head of the l.a. organizing he. also was on the left. when the 2 of them i think wasn't.

there's a lot of epstein connections here to win and that's you know they were together and talking about the olympics they talk about like oh like is frankie's loss of your lives in the torch relay that he talks about how much fun he had going to the olympics but that's not the experience of most in leno's we were there at that time for most of a lot of black and brown people especially at. least thing. which basically meant if you and your friends were hanging out outside that meant working and you were arrested it would put on your record run again so just this increased police think. that that over the city and. really cracked down on people's rights going out and live so was are running out here i definitely want to ask this is now 7 years away usually you know the committee does not plan this far in advance or so what are the odds if the olympics is organized enough the people

watching those are organized enough that the games could be called off number one and number 2 if there's someone watching i'm sure a lot of people are who are thinking like i don't like social injustice but i do like sports so what are some alternatives that we've seen throughout history to international athletic competition that doesn't involve displacing people and you know militarizing police should just take me a huge toll on the environment. i think it is possible to cancel the olympics i think. what we need is we need people to know that it's a problem and you. you know really make a show that we're not going to allow the olympics here we go as a people come together and stand up against you know police. basically make this city and hospitable to the olympics the olympics making the city hot and hospitable. so if we can come together and los angeles

a place that can hold the olympics and the olympics and happen here. and you know one of the things that i know and a lot of people talk about was warts and wanting to continue to watch i love watching gymnastics. and you know one of the best places the wash of. the olympics but also like. you don't need the i.o.c. to watch the courts and what makes great our values like to work cooperation and solidarity and. our interest oppositions to feel which are very nationalistic. like culture competitive and don't value like working together and work and. you know we don't need we don't need to i don't like. you who have sports washing other actually in the early 20th century there were

worker owned and vents that celebrated what was great about sports. and they didn't just they didn't. they were just remote in capitalism they were you know going off like this is well that oh these things work together like this and possible to have sports values justice but that you have to follow as you polish the olympics his i.o.c. is not why do you think the reforms. you know what it's for the olympics are not about sports they were never really about like amateurism or anything like that. and you know i mean it's not even really fair to the athletes and what we hear a lot are people you know but these athletes are lives well that's can't be paid as a mule and experienced amateurism so they have to figure out their ways to pay for themselves or if you're if you're not wealthy than he was and that's you know we

want to we want to welcome everybody those words i want to just both of you are. well so how can people at whatever otherwise get involved. well you can follow ellen picks l.a. on any list also neo's where on twitter or on instagram you can go to our website no one picks l.a. dot com we're also. live in los angeles any. he's on your street or in your neighborhood go to no one picks l.a. dot com slash offs and art lets you. share information you have about any arab in your neighborhood where trying to organize and it's against. and get everybody out of our city. and if you are in los angeles or you are in an olympics that is something you can do is just. locals and it's indian or it's

like leasing groups in your city. in. really strong resistance so that when the olympics try and come to your city. they won't be able to because you have organized tennis and. polished your police force and the olympics are not like that . you know involve your community or did you draw thanks so much for joining us. thank you for having me on we have to go to a quick break but don't forget to grab every episode for free at portable dr levy we'll be right back with a lot more. hi folks joe namath here and if you're on medicare this is important you're now entitle to eliminate co-pays and get back to care dancers eye glasses prescription

seeing the horrors that arise with money and evil. corporate criminals or threats countless lives to just one more dollar to their billions. they threaten they bribe they'll do anything to keep their crimes in the door but the people they've heard are demanding justice their stories need to be told on america's lawyer. welcome back on new and we care of ani and now for the weekly offensive.

over a popular app designed to connect a corporate board to labor laws it wants to go up met with some opposition and british courts the u.k. supreme court ruled it must classify its drivers as employees guarantee a minimum wage grant paid vacation to make them eligible for a pension plan to which the company would contribute are you sure that's a supreme court a supreme court as i know it is supposed to give companies like exxon the ability to replace your water with formaldehyde or make it mandatory to celebrate the koch brothers birthdays even long after they're dead this is a victory for drivers in the u.k. took about 6 years of battling goober and poor and now the company says that there are only paying out benefits to the $35.00 drivers who are part of the lawsuit and not all the drivers so the fight's going to continue but it doesn't look good for her. at least we know that some people on the payroll are being fairly compensated

like lawyers and politicians and lobbyists and lefse pacs spend millions of dollars on down ballot democratic candidates in the 2020 alexion cycle you know what we said pay more and listen and those candidates will help ensure that laws are written and interpreted in favor of that will be never recognized as a taxi business but simply a way to connect driving entrepreneurs to their writing clientele and not a way to attract workers and relatives well who were didn't do however was leave the u.k. as they threatened this is a tactic they use over and over who were threatened to leave regions entirely from california and from austria in an attempt to blackmail regulators into submission threatening to leave see this is a way of negotiating that says those designated drivers there i would hate for something to happen to it. i guess will have to drive drunk from now on but

these are him d. threats to have a capital strike that they would never follow through on not making money yeah i don't think so amazon too threatens the capital strike by single leave areas where workers ask for more yet amazon has unionized workers in germany and still operates there when we need to do is call these corporations on their bluff and say hey you're full of you're not going to leave or shut down you're just going to pay your c.e.o. $1000000000.00 less and he'll have one less boat or one less secret family or one fewer shuttle to mars for secret family another capital strike is actually happening businesses and particularly restaurants are complaining that they can't find workers claiming there's a labor shortage but it looks like those are just complaints that the media is running with without question. whatever mcdonald's says must be true because this

is after all the american pope here's a sign next to the drive thru we are short staffed please be patient with the staff that did show up no one wants to work anymore. she then bets a little aggressive for customers who just came for an egg mcmuffin got their meal without asking for it super soon of itched. and no one wants to work anymore there's still a pandemic going on and only 50 percent of people are vaccinated and over 50 percent of women left the workforce to take care of children that have new school also an economist at e.p.i. pointed out that when restaurant owners can't find workers to fill openings at wages that aren't higher than they were before the pandemic even though those jobs are inherently more stressful and potentially dangerous that's not a labor shortage that's the market functioning the wages for hard or riskier jobs

should be higher well we don't see is wages moving at all so that's a wage shortage not a worker shortage we've seen shortages of toilet paper chicken wings and my grow chips but there is no shortage of the jobs that people don't want i mean where are all the passionate people who want to wrestle a non math person to the ground so they can enter a wendy's or where are all the passionate people who love shoveling this out of an arby's bathroom companies will do anything to not raise wages now some are providing signing bonuses or $50.00 the interview of free sandwich each shift and a blow job from ronald mcdonald personally if you come in with your c.v. already printed out anything as long as there's not raising wages for a glorified business lobby which praises the legitimate government agency the u.s. chamber of commerce blames the weak jobs report on the enhanced unemployment benefits and kicks off

a lobbying effort and the benefits cutting benefits will only cause the people can't work right now to suffer more and studies have shown that the benefits have little impact on whether or not people will seek work. they're seeking better work right now the fact is that fast food establishments have always cried labor shortage even before the pandemic as you can see in this $29000.00 article in fact the wages were always so low at places like mcdonalds that wages were effectively subsidized through food stamps and medicaid so workers don't starve no one wants to work anymore al about no one wants to pay their workers anymore. or i guess you never did say if your state recently passed a data privacy rights law there's a good chance it will keep your info about as private as bill and melinda gates divorce proceedings and bill is partly to blame redacted correspondent natalie

mcgill has more in a new segment our not so private if you live in california there's a lot to be anxious about right now wildfires housing insecurity and a celebrity running for governor who you can't convince me isn't doing it just to give the network another car dashi and spin off but one thing californians should actually feel good about is their vote last fall to approve the california privacy rights act which builds on the existing california consumer privacy act and as of 2023 it will allow california the chance to opt out of sharing personal data that could be sold as well as the chance to correct their data and sue companies over data breaches added states that businesses must pacifically and clearly inform consumers about how they collect and use personal information and how they can exercise their rights and choice it's the closest thing we have in america to the european union's general data protection regulation which offers similar

protections. but it turns out the only european thing our society prefers the company is its beauty standards not its privacy laws because big tech didn't like the precedent california was trying to set and decided to set its oh so now big tech is pushing states to pass privacy laws and yes you should be suspicious of course why would you already be suspicious of companies who left the door wide open for cambridge and a little good to scrape all your data or trying to gaslight a house rep into believing their delivery drivers never pissed in bottles during their shift only to have to walk it back and say they are bad they actually do piss in bottles you could never gaslight me into thinking that didn't happen especially after the day i went looking for a copy of the amazon owned washington post only to soon realize i found the gift of

and amazon workers protest instead. i can still remember. the warm home i've got i can still feel it in my hands. so when other states tried to create their own privacy laws swarms of technology has descended upon state houses like they were melinda gates d.m. in march virginia governor ralph northam signed off on his state's consumer data protection act a law that was actually written by an amazon lobbyist and a digital rights group called the electronic frontier foundation said this group is over consumers by offering an opt out framework that doesn't protect privacy by default allowing companies to force consumers that exercise their privacy rights to pay higher prices or accept a lower quality of service and offering no meaningful and for spent and unfortunately according to the markup $14.00 of 20 proposed state privacy bills

were built upon the same industry backed framework as virginia's or weaker i get why these companies are so desperate to water down these bills when you're used to just getting your way with little to 0 consequences for your actions this orienting when people all of a sudden start asking for accountability and mean how do you think derek shogun feels right now. so that we're creating a patchwork of laws with the words consumer and privacy of a name that actually do nothing to help consumers or protect their privacy yet some companies actually don't want this patchwork of state laws they ultimately want a federal law with all the same goodies that would undermine or even override california's law so in short they want to have their cake and eat it too. and considering the news that bill gates allegedly had to deal with his wife to run off

with his ex-girlfriend once a year he might know a thing or 2 about eating cake with powerful lobbying from microsoft amazon google and the like in these state lawmakers ears this. big tech steamrolling will only continue which is a shame because there's no reason other than greed that opting out of having our data harvested should be as easy as it is for us to opt out of hearing a t.v. theme song in a streaming service by clicking skip intro. even though there should be a law against skipping intros for the following shows. honestly skipping any of those should at least be punishable by finding reporting from a private california beach. for redacted tonight. and that is the show but we have a new words access night tomorrow so watch out for that make sure you're also
