No Comments on TMI 12/27/2024 – Corporate Media Denies Success of CA’s Minimum Wage Hike, FL Dept of Corrections Uses Conversion Therapy Tactics, Biden Admin Admits LNG Is Equivalent to Coal for Climate Crisis, more

Despite full page ads taken out by lobbying groups in USA Today and complicit articles in the Wall Street Journal decrying the maneuver, the Minimum Wage increase in California for fast food workers appears to have been an unmitigated success. We look at who exactly is behind the spin and why we need to be careful who we listen to when it comes to things that benefit the working class, not the billionaires.

Next, we find that Florida’s Department of Corrections is under fire for employing conversion therapy-like practices on transgender inmates. Trans inmates report being coerced or pressured to conform to their sex assigned at birth, with tactics that include denying access to gender-affirming care, misgendering, and other forms of psychological manipulation likened to conversion therapy.

Finally, Biden’s Department of Energy recently released an updated study evaluating the implications of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. The report states that LNG export expansion would lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm emphasizing that such expansion is “neither sustainable nor advisable” for the climate.

TMI 06/07/2024 – Big Food’s Stock Buybacks Cost Us More Than Inflation, Florida’s “Freedom Summer” Bans Pride Light Displays on Bridges, Lawsuit Makes Absentee Voting in Wisconsin More Complicated

On this episode, we dissect the profit-driven machinations of Big Food (the grocery monopolies and fast food giants). While inflation is hitting us hard, these monolithic corporations blame supply chain issues, all while channeling massive profits into stock buybacks and dividends to make their shareholders rich at our expense.

Then, we look at Florida’s decision not to illuminate bridges with rainbow colors during Pride Month under the guise of patriotic “Freedom” color displays being mandated all summer. This is sparking citizen action, with locals taking matters into their own hands by projecting rainbow hues from the Main Street bridge in Jacksonville. Finally, a lawsuit is trying to make it harder for you to have your absentee ballot counted in the State of Wisconsin.

TMI 03/18/2022 – DeSantis Versus a Black Congressperson, Daylight Saved? and Why the Secret Service is Worried About Incels

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has aims to eliminate a Congressional district in his state that is primarily populated by black people. We will go over the legality of this, and how it is NO accident. Then, we go over the bill that has passed the US Senate, looking to end the madness of changing our clocks twice a year by making Daylight Saving Time a permanent state, beginning November 2023.

Finally, we talk about a recent report from the US Secret Service, noting that a significant portion of domestic terrorist activity has been coming from the growing “incel community” online.
