Welcome to Rich Takes, a new Thursday-ish segment from Rich Lessons, our unfiltered spin on hot takes, delivered in 15 minutes or less. Each week or every other week we're undecided, we break down the headlines shaping our world and our wallets. In this episode, we’re digging into the staggering exit of 300,000 Black women from the workforce over the last 90 days, the recent BET layoffs and what they signal for Black media, a growing interest in women-only Uber drivers and what that says about safety in the gig economy, and the rising impact of AI data centers on electricity, the environment, and the Southern communities where tech giants like Meta and xAI are taking root. Quick, sharp, and rooted in real talk, this is Rich Takes.
