This week's podcast or quote of the week is from comedian/actor Ricky Gervais on the relationship between opinion and facts. In our stupidest thing I've heard all week segment, we'll tell you about an effort by the state of California to ban the operation of diesel locomotives in that state by 2030. We'll tell you what happened to the employees of a small chain of coffee shops in Philadelphia after they voted to join a union. We'll tell you why thousands of millionaires & billionaires and leaving Great Britain every year and relocating to other countries. We'll tell you about the newest scam on Facebook claiming you can buy an entire pallet of returned Amazon merchandise for just $29. In a story you probably didn't hear on TV, we'll tell you about the astounding number of shots that were fired during a block party gathering in Montgomery, Alabama, over the weekend. We'll update you on the number of homes that have benefited from the $42.5 Billion program President Biden signed into law in 2021 to bring high-speed internet to millions of rural homes. If you guessed any number higher than zero, you guessed too high. We'll examine the claims about global warming and explain why the answer to "Is it real?" depends on what you select as your starting reference point. Our taxpayer relief shot comes to us from Wilson, SC, where a 71-year-old man shoots & kills a thug trying to kick down his front door.
