The recent Federal Reserve interest rate cut marks the end of a rate hike cycle that began in March 2022, as concerns about globalist threats to freedoms are raised. The concept of Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) is critiqued as a modern form of dependency akin to the historical Roman welfare system, suggesting it could undermine individual work ethic and promote reliance on government support. In filmmaking, the new movie 'No Chains, No Masters' explores the story of a runaway slave in 1759, emphasizing the generational struggles against slavery and the moral dilemmas faced by both slaves and slave owners. Meanwhile, a report from the NSW Anti-slavery Commissioner highlights the plight of Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) workers, many of whom are vulnerable to modern slavery practices such as forced labor and debt bondage. The report urges an inquiry into the treatment of these temporary migrant workers, indicating a significant increase in their numbers while noting their limited rights and potential exploitation. Overall, issues of economic dependency, historical injustices, and modern labor exploitation converge in these discussions.
