Episode 119: The Corporate Grab For Your Mailbox; The Peoples’ Scientist Talks Climate Change
Episode 119: They are back—and trying to get their hands on your mailbox. Big money interests have tried for a very long time to make a ton of money by privatizing the postal service, and now the danger is ramped up with the ideologues in the White House. Mark Dimondstein, president of the American Postal Workers Union, is back on the show to explain the threat to universal, affordable mail service—and to the security of your information. I, then, chat with Katharine Hayhoe, a leading atmospheric scientist and a co-author of the last two National Climate Assessments, about the challenges inherit in educating people about climate change, especially in the face of the media’s willingness to consider the arguments of climate change deniers as legitimate. Our Robber Baron of the week is a building contractor who stole millions from hundreds of workers.
