The Intelligence: The race to save Kharkiv

This podcast episode explores two main themes - the relentless attacks on Kharkiv, Ukraine by Russia, and the crisis of missing persons in Mexico. In Kharkiv, despite the danger and destruction caused by airstrikes, the people remain defiant and resilient, continuing their daily lives amidst the chaos. However, the attacks have taken a toll on the city's infrastructure and the lives of its civilians. The situation in Mexico is equally alarming, with an alarming number of people going missing, attributed to gang violence and clashes. The government's passive approach and manipulation of census data have led to skepticism and frustration among the families of the missing. The episode also sheds light on the regressive nature of lotteries in the United States, where poorer households spend a disproportionate amount of their income on lottery tickets, contributing to their financial struggles.
