TMI 03/25/2022 – Records Simultaneously Broken at Both Poles, The Corruption of Gayle Manchin, Study Shows Little Harm from Unauthorized Downloads, the Limitations of Measurement

The temperature in parts of the Antarctic hit 70ºF above average – what makes that even more alarming is how at the SAME moment parts of the Arctic hit 50ºF above average! We discuss the ramifications. Next, while many are aware of the corrupt and corporate leanings of Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, his wife Gayle happens to have still OTHER corrupting forces that she merrily navigates for her husband’s benefit.

Then, we review how the EU commissioned a study to “prove” that unauthorized downloads have a negative effect on legitimate sales of various forms of media, only to have the study buried when it failed to show much of anything like that. Finally, we examine the idea “If you can’t measure it, then it doesn’t exist” and why this is a truly flawed concept.
