About this listen
Bringing back the 4/11/2025 episode in this Best of TMI presentation!
Bill McKibben's recent blog post tackled brilliantly the fact that while the Trump regime has been announcing emergencies everywhere, the ones that legitimately need to be addressed are only made WORSE by the corporate-friendly "solutions", and the rest of these EXCUSES only benefit a VERY few tied directly to Trump - we review it. Then, we look at Ezra Klein's book "Abundance" (co-authored by Derek Thompson) and how it falsely frames problems in doing good things for people as the fault of those who created the solutions, rather than expose the sinister actions of monopolies that don't want their profits harmed. Finally, we briefly note that, likely for the first time ever, Trump issued a full Presidential Pardon for a corporation. All this and more on TMI for Friday, May 02, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
