COVID-19 Delta Variant Electric Vehicles Episode Faiz Shakir Pentagon union Vaccination WSUM

TMI 08/27/2021 – Get Vaxx Get $100, Collectivo Unionizes, Wind Turbine Size Matters, and Holy Flaming Chevy Bolts!

On today’s episode of TMI:

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?? Will you at LEAST get vaccinated if the State of Wisconsin PAYS you $100? If you don’t live there, don’t worry – we cover a number of other incentives that are being issued to coax reluctant citizens into doing what THEY SHOULD DO ANYWAY.

Then, we celebrate the successful unionization of Collectivo Coffee, the effort to do so first referenced here on TMI on the March 19th episode with Faiz Shakir. They are the first coffee chain to do so, and we lay out the significance.

Next, we note that China is breaking the record for largest power-generating wind turbine, and we tell you why bigger actually IS better when it comes to wind turbines.

Finally, Chevrolet has been forced to recall all Bolt EV cars due to the tendency for their batteries to burst into flames. All this and more on TMI with Aldous Tyler for Friday, August 27, 2021 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media.

TMI 03/19/2021 – The More Perfect Union Project w/ Faiz Shakir, What it Will Take for Post-COVID “Normal”, Search Engines Spread Disinfo By Design

Weekends, employer-provided health coverage, overtime pay, a ban on child labor – these are all benefits to society as a whole thanks to unions. Faiz Shakir, formerly of the Bernie Sanders campaign, knows all too well about how unions have been falling in membership size and power, and seeks to restore them via the More Perfect Union project. We discuss.

Then, we look seriously at what it is going to take to return to a pre-COVID normal – or if that is even possible. Finally we take on disinformation at its most unlikely source: search engines! That’s right, the way Bing or Google serve you up answers also serves you up with topics you LIKE, not necessarily ones that are correct. All this and more on TMI for Friday, March 19, 2021!
