Election Results, Zuck goes Maga, H1B Visa, Android Gives the Ick.
Episode description
Techish is back with a fresh new season to kick off 2025!
Michael and Abadesi dive into US politics—talking elections, inflations, and the role of 'liberal elites'. They break down the debate about H-1B visas (no, Trump and Musk don't actually care about immigrants), Zuckerberg's MAGA pivot, and what censorship on social media actually means. They wrap things off by asking what owning an Android means for your dating life.
