## Resource

Ravi examines the economic consequences of Trump’s immigration crackdown as net migration turns negative and labor shortages ripple across the country. He also unpacks Trump’s full-throated support for data centers—even as opposition grows among Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike. Then, educator Dan Meyer joins the show to scrutinize Alpha School, the buzzy AI-powered model promising students twice the learning in just two hours a day. Is Alpha reinventing education—or making bold claims its results can’t yet support? –––––––––– For show notes: https://thelostdebate.substack.com/ Pre-order Ravi’s new book, The Invisible List:https://readinvisiblelist.com/ ◾ Join the Invisible Posse:https://readinvisiblelist.com/posse ◾ Find upcoming book events:https://readinvisiblelist.com/events ◾ Interested in hosting Ravi for an Invisible List event in your city?
