How Libertarian theology and Trump are destroying the Internet - and America
 Check out this lede from Buzzflash in 2021:
“Americans woke up this morning to the City of Chicago's entire electrical system having shut down, along with the water systems of Boston and San Francisco, and all air traffic control in the Northeast. Several million homes with smart thermostats and surveillance cameras found themselves hacked, with furnaces running full-tilt to raise indoor temperatures above 100ºF and embarrassing home videos playing randomly on neighborhood TVs. The websites of the top newspapers across the nation are all down, and government agency sites only display the flag of North Korea. Twitter and Facebook only play martial music, and most people can't make cell phone calls; those who can often hear foreign-language discussions in the background. Over 40 million checking, brokerage, and savings accounts were drained overnight, and the markets plunged 85 percent on the open, wiping out much of America's liquid wealth.â€

WHY I AM ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT AT PATREON?
Your support of the program is invaluable. Producing the Thom Hartmann Program is a labor of love for the team, but doesn't come without cost. We supply the program to non-profit, community and volunteer radio and cable stations across the US. However, this isn't cost free and being a supporter through Patreon means you can help us to meet some of the bills, to allow us to continue free supply to the non-profit sector. As a way of saying thank you, we would like to give you something back for your support at various levels.
Every weekday, the live Thom Hartmann Program three hour program is recorded exclusively for Patreon supporters. Unedited, the full three hour video will be right here on the Patreon page, within a couple of hours of the end of the live program. And we're also providing extra videos not seen anywhere else like our new one. Should Pharmaceutical Companies who Kill Their Patients Face Death Penalty? The law holds drug dealers responsible if the product they sell results in an overdose and death. Yet multinational corporations who profit in the billions off a product that is killing Americans at higher rates than traffic accidents and gun deaths are free to continue selling their products to vulnerable populations. Why is this? If you sign up on Patreon you'll get more than the podcast. Can you take time now to support this show? |
Tuesday's Daily Stack 
Hour One: Shutdown Crisis: Is Trump Trying to Break the FBI or All Government? PLUS, Why is the GOP Voting to Give Millions to Deripaska But Won't End the Shutdown???
Quote: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub" by Grover Norquist.
Quote: " It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it's just an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery being at the essence of getting the nominations for president or elected president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and Congress members. So now we've just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election's over'." - President Jimmy Carter on unlimited money in politics on the Thom Hartmann Program, 28 July 2015.
