TMI 04/29/2022 – Manchinema’s Differences Doom the Dem Senate, COVID Coordinator Dr. Jha May Not Be Best Pick, Science/Technology News-in-Brief: EV Pickups, Speaker Film and Meteor DNA

While supposedly-Democratic Senators Joe Machin and Kyrsten Sinema seem to be such a match made in Hell that they’ve been given the collective nickname “Manchinema”, we discuss how their differences actually spell even MORE trouble than what they have in common. Next, we look at Dr. Jha, the new COVID Coordinator for the Biden Administration and examine his record, noting that he has some major flaws in his history that makes his appointment seem… ill-advised. Finally, we give a quick looksee at new innovations in EV pickup trucks, thin film that can act as a speaker for your audio needs, and how DNA being lodged inside meteors may not be as rare as once thought.

TMI 04/22/2022 – Avoiding the 2°C Threshold, Traditional Roles Hold Stop Women from Building Wealth, Dept. of Education Reworking Income-Driven Repayment Plans

It’s widely accepted that if we allow the globe to reach an average of 2°C warmer than pre-industrial levels, absolute chaos will be unleashed – we discuss how difficult it is looking like it will be to keep from hitting that threshold. Then: for years women were told that the best way to be financially stable was to find a “provider” husband who would bring in all the wealth they need. Studies are now showing how this dependency has kept women from building the wealth they need to be seen as equals financially. Finally, we go over how the US Department of Education is planning to re-work the highly flawed income-driven repayment system, so that once payments for student loans are restored, they don’t immediately put everyone back where they started.

TMI 04/15/2022 – BEST OF TMI: Records Simultaneously Broken at Both Poles, The Corruption of Gayle Manchin, Study Shows Little Harm from Unauthorized Downloads, the Limitations of Measurement

REBROADCAST OF MARCH 25, 2022 EPISODE: 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.

REBROADCAST OF APRIL 1, 2022 EPISODE: The Thwaite Glacier in Antarctica is becoming less stable by the day, and its particular positioning makes it a very potent force in the future rise of sea levels. We discuss that, then we go over concerns that are being expressed over how the USA is going to monitor the next surge of COVID-19 infection when we seem to be dismantling the programs that have done just that the last two years. Finally, we take a quick look at precisely how many human beings have ever lived on Earth – given that we are almost to eight billion, the total will surprise you.
