Milestones and Borders

Episode Summary

Right now, Trump's second term may be best known for mass deportations of immigrants. It's precisely what he ran on doing, but what do Americans think now that it's the real deal? Is there a right age for important life milestones? This week, we take a look at the global perspectives on when people should get married, buy a home, retire, and become a parent. And finally, we go back to prom night for this week's fun fact.

Episode Notes

Other than tariffs, Donald Trump's signature achievement of his second term has been mass deportations. Masked, badge-less agents have swept across cities and states detaining men, women, and children, shipping most off to detention centers here in the US but plenty of others have been put on planes and flown to countries near and far. There's been plenty of outcry and court action but are a majority of Americans upset? We're looking at what the data says.

Then, we're looking at a really fascinating set of polls from around the world that show how people in other places think about life milestones. When's the best time to get married in Turkey? What about the best age to buy a house in India?

And, we finish with a VERY timely fun fact that has us digging through our closets to find our finest clothes...
