“America is going full Joker,” Musk tweeted, accompanied by a video showcasing the brazen looting of high-end stores in Philadelphia. The video, which has since gone viral, captures young individuals smashing windows, grabbing merchandise, and escaping amidst chaos.

Musk’s tweet ignited a debate on social media, with many interpreting his comparison to the Joker as a commentary on the societal breakdown and lawlessness seen in the footage. Some praised Musk for shedding light on the issue, while others criticized his choice of words, suggesting that it oversimplified complex social problems.

The city of Philadelphia has been grappling with a surge in retail thefts and vandalism, primarily attributed to groups of juveniles. Authorities are working to address the issue and restore law and order to the affected areas.

As the debate surrounding Musk’s tweet continues to gain momentum, it raises questions about the root causes of such incidents, the role of social media in their propagation, and the potential consequences for affected communities.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
