About this episode

The episode discusses the UK's debt issues, the impact of AI on local communities, Poland's economic growth, and the effects of global events on aluminum prices.

This week, the UK’s debt burden and weak growth are reviving fears that financial markets could once again destabilize British politics and policy. And, investors see data centers as long-term infrastructure, but neighbors worry about noise, water use, power demand and lasting costs. Plus, is Poland is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, but it faces challenges to keep up its rapid rate of growth. Later, war in the Middle East and US tariffs are simultaneously tightening global aluminum supply and pushing prices sharply higher worldwide. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
