Financial literacy is one of the most important skills that a person can learn. It is especially important for young people. Unfortunately, financial literacy education is not a required part of the high school curriculum in all states.

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.Check out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

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#thepeoplesvoicepodcastCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

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#treyevansCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

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 infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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 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.Check out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/Check out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

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#thepeoplesvoicepodcastCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

Immigration advocates argue that ICE raids increasingly sweep up immigrants with no criminal record, disrupting families and communities while funneling thousands of people into jails, private prisons, and detention centers that profit from every occupied bed. These facilities—many operated by private corporations under federal contracts—benefit financially from higher detention numbers, creating a system where human beings become revenue streams. Critics say this dynamic incentivizes aggressive enforcement tactics, even against individuals who pose no threat, raising serious concerns about civil rights, accountability, and the ethics of allowing profit motives to shape immigration policy.#detentioncenters #iceraidsCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

Child Language Brokers, are children who are often put in situations where they have to interpret sensitive or complicated information for adults who do not speak the native language of a country they are it. In some cases this occurs at the expense of their own well-being. This can also affect their sense of identity, as they are forced to navigate the cultural gap between their family and society, taking on responsibilities that may hinder their own academic or emotional development. This episode explores the issues centered around how these dual pressures—being a child and an informal adult in the family—can affect long-term mental health and development.  Claro, aquí tienes la traducción al español: Los mediadores lingüísticos infantiles son niños que con frecuencia se encuentran en situaciones en las que deben interpretar información sensible o complicada para adultos que no hablan el idioma nativo del país en el que se encuentran. En algunos casos, esto ocurre a expensas de su propio bienestar. Esto también puede afectar su sentido de identidad, ya que se ven obligados a navegar la brecha cultural entre su familia y la sociedad, asumiendo responsabilidades que pueden obstaculizar su propio desarrollo académico o emocional. Este episodio explora las problemáticas centradas en cómo estas presiones duales —ser un niño y, al mismo tiempo, un adulto informal dentro de la familia— pueden afectar la salud mental y el desarrollo a largo plazo.#vozdelaGentePodcast #mediadoresLingüísticosInfantiles #CLB #parentificación #TreyEvans#peoplesvoicepodcast #childlanguagebrokers #clb #parentification #treyevansCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

Nonprofit tax-exempt organizations are intended to serve public interests, yet some exploit their status through fraud such as overpaying staff, providing excessive executive compensation, or engaging in self-dealing that benefits insiders rather than the mission. These abuses raise serious questions about whether such organizations should continue to enjoy tax-exempt status, as excessive private benefit undermines public trust, violates IRS rules, and suggests that exemption is being used as a shield for profit rather than a tool for public good.#nonprofits #taxexempt#501c#form990#notforproft#fraud#moneylaundering#treyevansCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

Domestic violence in relationships is devastating at any time of year. Unfortunately, during the holidays, reports and emergency calls related to domestic violence increase significantly. Experts point to several contributing factors, including financial stress from gift-giving, increased alcohol or drug use, and colder weather that leads to more time spent indoors together. No matter the cause, the impact on victims can last a lifetime and, in some cases, can be fatal. In this episode, I discuss domestic violence, the factors that contribute to it, and ways to seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing abuse.If you or someone you know is in a domestic violence situation, help and support are available through the **National Domestic Violence Hotline** at **1-800-799-7233**, or by texting **“START”** to 88788#DomesticViolenceAwareness#EndDomesticViolence#HealthyRelationships#SupportSurvivors#BreakTheSilenceCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

CE raids and expanded immigration enforcement have led to noticeable declines in student enrollment and attendance, particularly among immigrant families. Fearing potential enforcement actions—even when they occur off campus—many parents are keeping their children home or withdrawing them from public schools altogether. As enrollment drops, school districts and educators are now facing budget shortfalls that have resulted in layoffs and reduced resources.#iceraids #immigration #publicschools #enrollment #layoffsCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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

Quiet cutting—the practice of reassigning employees to less desirable roles instead of formally laying them off—is increasingly used as a human-resource tactic in the American job economy. Marketed as “redeployment” or “realignment,” it lets companies downsize without the public backlash or legal exposure of outright termination. While framed as an opportunity for workers to “explore new challenges,” it’s often a slow-motion push toward resignation, allowing employers to trim payroll without paying severance or taking responsibility for the fallout. In this way, quiet cutting exposes how HR strategies frequently prioritize corporate image and cost control over any genuine commitment to employee stability or growth.#quitecutting #layoffs #jobmarket #jobcuts #quitefiring #thepeoplesvoicepodcastCheck out the webiste for more infohttp://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/  #thepeoplesvoicepodcast#social issuesCopyright 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
