America’s Meat Supply Crisis with Tom Vilsack
With just a few companies controlling the vast majority of beef, pork and poultry processing in the US, the nation's meat supply chain was already vulnerable. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the shortcomings of the system and threatens to disrupt the entire industry, from farmers to processing plants to grocery store shelves. Former Iowa Governor and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack explains how food banks are reporting a 70% increase in demand from communities while farmers are forced to dump milk or let animal products go to waste.

Data Privacy Before & After a Pandemic with Marietje Schaake
Some economists have argued that data is the new oil, a precious commodity driving exponential growth of some of the biggest multinational corporations. This week, our guest says it could also be the new CO2, quietly changing the world in irreparable ways if not properly controlled. On the latest episode of GZERO World with Ian Bremmer, a look at the ongoing debate about data and how it’s used by governments and big tech companies in ways both helpful and harmful. The policy conversation was complicated before COVID-19, as Europe established its General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the US begins to grapple with similar laws, like California’s Consumer Privacy Act. Our guest, Marietje Schaake, former EU Parliament Member and international policy director of Stanford’s Cyber Policy Center, argues that more regulation is necessary to curb unchecked use of consumer data. Taped just days before many US cities entered lockdown in the COVID-19 pandemic, the interview also examines early uses of tracking and surveillance in Singapore and China, and what those actions foreshadow for the US as the nation balances freedom and security.
