Gary, Lyn and Dee discuss politics and current events. We start with a letter from a listener, re: DaVita. We talk about Scott Pruitt leaving the EPA. We’re replacing Pruitt with Wheeler, probably no better for the environment. Wheeler may be less personally corrupt. Speaking of the environment, the NASA head that we all feared, has changed his mind on climate change. In a spot of good news, Bridenstine believes that climate change is real and that man is responsible for it. We discuss California and car regulations. In an interesting turn of events, retiring justice Kennedy’s son is employed by Deutsche Bank. Deutsche Bank is responsible for a lot of business loans for a certain orange person. We review the many ways that Japanese gun laws are different than US gun laws. We discuss the AMA’s recent decision to get involved with gun legislation lobbying. Why did several Republican Members of Congress spend July 4th in Moscow? The Senate Intelligence Committee has concluded that Russia meddled in the 2016 election to favor Trump. Australia previously eliminated tax credits of about $737 (Australian) per year for parents who refused to vaccinate their children. They are now fining parents an additional $28/2 wks. So, they are nearly doubling the fines. In another Good News story, we cover a retired elementary school principal who paints maps for children in various places. (Most notably on playgrounds.)
