    Tap, Order, Repeat: The Real Costs of the Food Delivery Culture

    From a financial standpoint, food delivery apps can become surprisingly expensive due to added fees, tips, and marked-up menu prices, often turning a $10 meal into $20 or more. Over time, frequent use can lead to significant overspending, making it harder to save money or stay within a budget. The convenience also encourages impulse ordering, increasing how often people spend. Beyond finances, relying heavily on delivery apps can negatively affect health, as people may choose less nutritious, high-calorie meals more often instead of balanced home-cooked options. Compared to cooking at home, which is both healthier and more cost-effective, overusing delivery apps can strain both your wallet and well-being, making moderation important.

    Seconds Away from Tragedy: The Dangers Of Distracted Driving

    Distracted driving covers a wide range of activities, but it's incredibly dangerous and can lead to deadly consequences. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that over 3,200 people were killed in 2023 due to distracted driving. Recent handheld bans are helping to enforce this issue, but there's still much work to be done. In this episode, I dive into the topic, discuss its impact, and share practical tips on how you can avoid driving distracted. #distractedriving #textingwhiledriving #cellphonebans #carsafety #treyevans #thepeoplesvoicepodcast Check out the webiste for more info http://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/     #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #social issues Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research

    Sound The Alarms! Private Equity Firms Quietly Taking Over American Schools

    On This Episode of The People’s Voice Podcast, I discussed how teacher shortages in U.S. K–12 schools are pushing districts to rely on private staffing agencies, some which are owned by private equity firms. While these agencies help fill urgent teacher vacancies, they can create long-term dependence, increase costs paid with taxpayer dollars, and in some cases are linked to poorer student performance and lower test scores. Other concerns such as high turnover, labor violations, and weakened teacher-student relationships have also been created. Sadly this straregy is often praticed in failing schools which are commonly in low-income, urban, and rural communities where teacher shortages are the most severe. #teachershortage #privateequity #americaneducation #k12 #staffingcompanies #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #treyevans Check out the webiste for more info http://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/     #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #social issues Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research

    The Hidden Exploitation of Vacation Cruise Line Workers

    Some vacation cruise lines have faced accusations of treating workers unfairly. Some reported issues have been include very long work hours, low or late pay and poor living or health conditions onboard. Many cruise ship employees come from countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and India, where working overseas is a common way to support their families. Because these jobs are so important to them and their families, some workers may be afraid to report problems. They might worry about losing their jobs, being sent home early, or not being hired again in the future. Critics say that even though there are international rules meant to protect these workers—often called the “Seafarers’ Bill of Rights” under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC, 2006)—some complaints are not fully investigated or strongly enforced by countries like the United States and other developed nations where many cruises begin. #cruiselines #vacation #thepeoplesvoicepodcast  Check out the webiste for more info http://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/     #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #social issues Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research

    Wage Theft: A Quiet Crime

    Wage Theft Is A Crime.  discussed wage theft cases occurring in the U.S., highlighting the industries where it is happening, who it is affecting, and what can be done to address it. Wage theft—such as unpaid overtime, withheld wages, and unlawful deductions—impacts workers across sectors like hospitality, construction, and retail, disproportionately affecting low-wage employees and immigrants. Addressing this issue requires stronger enforcement of labor laws, better worker education, and accessible reporting mechanisms to hold employers accountable.

    Can Capping Student Loans Could Break the Cycle of Higher Ed Greed?

    Capping student loans could be a game-changer in addressing the unchecked greed in higher education. By limiting the amount students can borrow, this could force colleges and universities to rethink their skyrocketing tuition fees and bloated administrative costs. This move would not only protect students from falling deeper into debt but also challenge institutions to prioritize affordability and quality over profits. Capping student loans could be a game-changer in addressing the unchecked greed in higher education. By limiting the amount students can borrow, we force colleges and universities to rethink their skyrocketing tuition fees and bloated administrative costs. This move would not only protect students from falling deeper into debt but also challenge institutions to prioritize affordability and quality over profits. In doing so, we could break the cycle of rising costs and ensure a more sustainable, accessible path to higher education. In this episode I discuss the debate.  #studentloanscaps #obbb #studentloandebt #nurses #thepeoplesvoicepodcast Check out the webiste for more info http://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/     #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #social issues Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research
