TMI 08/18/2023 – How Betting the Campaign on “Bidenomics” is a Mistake, Montana Agrees It Owes Its Youth for Their Climate Future, Medical Marijuana Lowers Premiums and more

The re-election campaign of President Joe Biden is all in on “Bidenomics” as the core acheivement of the President’s first four years, and that’s backed up by macro-economic indicators. However, that’s only true because the AVERAGE economic outlook has been imporvaed only by how much STAGGERINGLY better the billionaires are doing – most of the rest of us aren’t feeling it.

Then, we look at how last year’s eruption in Tonga is adding to the human-made climate crisis and how Montana’s courts are agreeing with young climate activists: the state OWES them a better climate future.

Finally, we look at how studies are showing the opposite of the doomsayers’ predictions about medical marijuana – it is LOWERING health insurance premiums in those states that have it! All this and more on TMI for Friday, August 18, 2023 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 08/04/2023 – Bernie’s Call to Climate Action vs. the GOP House’s Climate Sabotage, Food Waste Reduction Can Have a Rebound Effect and more

We start by going through some email received, including one from Senator Bernie Sanders, where the Independent from Vermont looks at the Climate Crisis and asks “how did we get here?” More, he answers that same question with an overview of who knew this would happen, and for how long they’ve known. We then compare that with how the annual budget bills in Congress are being poisoned by GOP House members against taking action to fix the Climate Crisis.

Then we take a look at a new study of food waste reduction – not just the immediate impact that it would have on lowering the amount of food needed to feed people the way we are now, but also the rebound effect from there being more supply in the food chain. Finally, we go over how a focus on recycling (versus redcing and reusing) is not even remotely the best way to go about things.

One of the key things that you’d expect a true crisis to bring is damage to those who have done no wrong – and the Climate Crisis does not disappoint. The wronged parties are taking to the courts for remedy against those damages, and this may be key to finally getting the attention of the oligarchs. Then, Sildenafil, a highly popular medication for keeping certain things alert, seems to be showing an ability to help fight dementia- we go over the swell results.

TMI 11/19/2021 – Voyager Lets Law Enforcement Have a REAL FB Jail, COP26-out: How No Climate Reparations Are Coming, Brief Overview of Topic Selection, More

Maybe you’ve heard of Palantir or other software that promises to let law enforcement investigate social media more easily, but the unprecedented lengths Voyager can go allows the tools to be not just entrapping, but also ones that reinforce policing prejudices.

Then, finishing our reporting on the COP26 climate conference, we discuss how the big boys (USA, UK, EU, etc) are consistently stopping any discussion of “climate reparations”, despite the undeniable fact that MOST of the emissions behind the climate crisis have come from the “Global North” and the destruction thusfar has primarily been suffered by the “Global South”.

Finally we give a little insight into why you might wonder at how we don’t comment on certain BIG news items, while giving you insights on things you haven’t heard. All that and much more on TMI for Friday, November 19, 2021 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
