In this episode sisters Astrid Ferguson and Alexandra Hodge discuss social media, Facebook and Instagram to be precise. What is going on with Facebook and why do they continue to sell customer data without permission?
How the algorithm changes and profit before human concern is the sole driver behind social media (giants like Facebook). Remaining on the app to sell us things is the apps main objective, while making a ton of money on small business owners trying to develop a community/business. So what’s the solution?
We raise the question; should we really be on social media? What are we gaining from social media and is it worth it?

How Puerto Rico is Excluded from Federal Benefits

In this episode sisters (Alexandra Hodge and Astrid Ferguson) catch up on a few life events and discuss the Supreme Court case that appeared uncertain about how to handle a federal law that denies disability benefits to U.S. citizens living in Puerto Rico. Yes, many are unaware that many of the federal benefits that U.S. Citizens take for granted are denied to US territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, The Virgin Islands and many more.
Therefore, in this episode discussions include what a territorial segregation case is and how for many years the US has denied/excluded territories like Puerto Rico from receiving the same benefits as citizens on the mainland. If the supreme court agrees to reversing this law, more than $2B would be owed to US citizens living in Puerto Rico. A crucial decision that would affect more than 700,000 people.
Moral of the story... check your benefits sis before changing addresses. The US has a way of cutting benefits for those who don't live in the mainland. It is not fair but when was law ever meant to be fair? Do your homework before losing your insurance and benefits you've worked so hard for.
