4. Are Rich Donors Ruining Ambassadorships?

Placing political appointees and campaign donors into ambassadorships has been a long-standing tradition of American politics. The practice has generated strong criticism from career diplomats and political scientists for eroding diplomatic performance and public trust. Join us for today’s discussion as we debate whether ambassadors should only be career civil servants or if political appointees also have a place. • What qualities determine an effective ambassador? • What is the rationale for political appointees and rich donors becoming ambassadors? What about for career diplomats? • Which ambassadorships are the most politically desirable? • Do lavish parties enhance diplomatic presence?

2. Has Big Tech Become Too Powerful?

The size and power of big tech companies have increasingly grown over the past decades. Some have argued strong antitrust policy needs to make a comeback in order to check Big Tech’s power. Others have stated such an effort may harm consumers and innovation. Today’s discussion includes: • How did Big Tech become so big? • How are antitrust laws evolving in response? • Is “bigness” actually better for consumers and employees? • Is Big Tech really engaging in anti-competitive behavior? • Potential remedies Further Reading: “The New Brandeis Movement: America’s Antimonopoly Debate” [https://academic.oup.com/jeclap/article/9/3/131/4915966?login=false] by FTC Chair Lina Khan “Tech and Antitrust [https://stratechery.com/2019/tech-and-antitrust/]” [https://stratechery.com/2019/tech-and-antitrust/] by Ben Thompson Comment on this episode on our Substack [https://piercingtheveil.substack.com/p/2-has-big-tech-become-too-powerful-ed6?s=w] Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/piercing-the-veil/id1613340524] Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/69kslxqvwNHGD4YWNKmSgT] Email: piercingtheveil@substack.com This is a public episode.
