    High-Speed Trains Coming to Maine??? | in the clear episode 184

    President Biden:"  We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to position Amtrak — and rail in general — to play a central role in our transportation and economic future. To make the investments that can help get America back on track. That’s exactly what the American Jobs Plan will do." Advocates for expansion of passenger train service in Maine believe this is their time.  The potential of the railroads owned by the taxpayers of the State of  Maine hold the promise of an advanced passenger train system that will deal with Climate Change, boost economic equity and move Maine into a more prosperous and sustainable future. There is a good reason the Legislature is addressing so many good rail bills this year.  Preparing for expansion of passenger trains, every legislature since the 1980s has taken steps to accomplish the goal.  This year the 130th Maine State Legislature can take this over the top. There is a detailed service plan with recommendations for passenger train service to Lewiston.  LD 991 An Act…., will complete that plan and evaluate the economic impacts in jobs and housing in the communities selected for train stations. (since they did not etc.)The Amtrak Downeaster passenger operating along the coast to Brunswick is where the state owns 55 of 100 miles to Augusta, Waterville, and Bangor.  LD 227  Will provide state and local decision-makers with information on this valuable transportation corridor and the likelihood it too can be restored for passenger trains. State ownership of railroads in the west, 55 miles Portland to Nh, in the East with the 40 miles from Bangor to Acadia and 88 miles into Eastport are included in other important rail bills. The opportunity to match federal funding has never been closer.  There is no time to waste.  Neither Washington nor the Climate are going to wait.  Maine has done its homework, it owns the railroads.  Maine knows how to run a successful passenger train service.  It is time for rail in Maine.

    D.C. Statehood: A Long Time Coming | in the clear #168

    Three million people live in the capitol but have no state  representation to speak of; simultaneously, there are states that have  less than one million in population numbers yet have senatorial and  house representation. It is high time to allow these citizens the  ability to also have legislative powers, but Republicans are afraid of  losing more power by democratizing D.C. and oppose statehood.

    Google Guts A.I. Ethics Research | in the clear #167

    Many years after Google decided to remove their "do not be evil"  clause from their mission statement, Google believes it is OK to develop  new A.I. research without any form of technology ethics research.  Certainly nothing bad or disastrous can occur because of this.

    Gamestonk: Robin Hood Patch 1.1 | in the clear #162

    If you ever played a glitchy video game, you may have encountered a  patch to make said game less glitchy. That is typically a good thing.  recently Robin Hood (own by Citadel who also owns Melvin Capital)  released a patch that made the stock "game" easier for the veteran  players who win all the time and harder for the new players who realized  how the stock "game" worked. If a game developer did that to their  player base, you might guess that the developer would be heavily  scrutinized; and you would be absolutely right!

    The establishment is already coming after outsiders seeking major  offices. Andrew Yang is likely to cast a mayoral bid for New York City,  which is a large enough municipality to apply a lot of his  forward-thinking ideas. However, the establishment is not all that happy  or excited about Yang, and have decided to address some early  criticisms against Yang. What are they going after Yang for?

    Fascism lost! WOOOOOO! Now we can go back to standardized Neoliberal  leadership! YAY! In all seriousness, while this upcoming administration  will have its multitude of issues that we at "in the clear" will  certainly address, yesterday marks a major achievement for Democracy.  Defeating Trump's attempt to steal the election via voter suppression  and by force is a first step to repair so much of the damage caused by  his administration. And, while no progressive is excited about this  administration, progressives, for the first time in a long time, will  have the ear of people in power. We will not achieve everything that is  part of our agenda, but we will be able to apply more successful  pressure to neoliberals and the flawed capitalist system to the point  our message will only grow stronger with every new voice that gets added  to the cause ©2020   Commoner Public Radio Network.

    Left vs. Right: Why is it so hard to reach across the aisle? | in the clear #151

    America is finally coming to an understanding that the polarization of the two major political-ideological divides are so out of sync with one another that people are no genuinely debating what is the current reality we exist in. How do you convince someone who truly believes that  Communism has taken over this country? How can you have a productive dialogue with someone who believes Joe Biden is a Chinese puppet? For the most part, the Capitol Riot has proved the right-wing, as a whole,  no longer fact-checks their own stances anymore. Belief without hubris is a dangerous formula, and that is the formula of everyone who stormed the Capitol to overthrow the government.
