Description
Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, 17 May, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting the information we need regarding how NOT to talk about workers, inflation, and the cost of living crisis if you are a politician, office holder, commentator, or just a decent functional adult. We find an example and teachable moment via a minister from the UK who recommended folks "take on more hours" or "move to a better paid job" to explain why that is just as tone deaf and condescending as it sounds. Russia's military suffers losses during a botched river crossing so bad it finally seems to be piercing through the information and propaganda bubble most of that country has been living in since Putin began his war of aggression in Ukraine, and some notable voices are starting to speak out. One of our favorite guests, Dr Michael Siegel returns to heard tell to talk his usual area of expertise in science and space with the discovery and imagery of the black hole at the center of our universe that has him and the scientific community buzzing. But also, Dr Siegel is a Pennsylvania resident, and take a turn discussing today's primaries for governor and senate there, including his own writing at Ordinary Times about the unfitness of PA GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano for the office, and the crazy GOP primary that has everyone guessing what while happen. Plus, a rash of political figures suffering strokes, thankfully all of whom look like they will recover, brings the need to know the warning signs for family members to intervene, and we cover how the community in Buffalo, New York, is coming together after the deadly massacre there, and we detail the local charities and initiatives that are making a difference and folks can get involved with. All that and more on this Tuesday edition of Heard Tell.
