Alejandro Mayorkas on CNN, Media Business Model Shifts

Mo Facts introduces the term "conspicuous consciousness" to describe "woke" posturing and virtue signaling for personal gain. This is contrasted with the "Value for Value" model used by the podcast, which relies on honest exchange and mutual benefit rather than status-seeking. The hosts discuss how people use social justice causes as products to buy, similar to how they use luxury brands like Gucci to signal status.
