Tonight on Black Out, we’re tackling the conversations that hit your money, relationships, and everyday life. Is the economy worse than we’re being told? Is “rich people don’t trade time for money” a lie? And what have we learned from sitting down with billionaires? We also dive into the public school debate surrounding Nikole Hannah-Jones and ask: If you had one term as President and could fix ONE issue in America, what would it be? Plus, with the cost of living out of control, why do millions of people still choose to live in New York? Then we get into relationships and culture: Should you choose a partner based on love or rational thinking? We also discuss Nolan Wells, the situation involving Rich Homie Quan’s child’s mother, and America’s growing obsession with outer space.
