NightSide News Update. We begin the program with four interesting guests on topics we think you should know more about! We’ll chat with the Director-General of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston about the current state of U.S.-Taiwan relations and U.S.-China dynamics, while another guest reveals why scammers want your resume!
Ongoing Crisis at Mass. & Cass. Despite ongoing efforts being made by Mayor Michelle Wu and city officials, such as increased police patrols, substance abuse outreach teams, and daily needle-pickup crews, South End residents continue to express that it's just not enough. The area around the intersection of Melnea Cass Boulevard and Massachusetts Avenue continues to be a humanitarian crisis. Tonight, Dan is joined by Andrew Brand, Co-President of the Worcester Square Area Neighborhood Association, to discuss concerns over criminal activity and safety in the Mass. and Cass area.
Interest Rates & Tariffs. Tomorrow, at the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting, the Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates. President Trump wants the Feds to cut rates, but officials have resisted out of concern that Trump's tariffs will push up inflation. Greg Stoller, professor at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, joins Dan to discuss both interest rates and tariffs.
