This is better read -- more clear -- on large screen till I make to auto change text size for portables...
If using a portable it renders "better" using the Firefox browser.
If some of this is noted on other forms of the media it might be reduced to a few seconds -- concision -- or misrepresented, distorted, discounted as "fringe elements," details "left out" even if a it was two minutes in length.
The radio programs noted in url below are in some cases defunct or not on the same day not time, etc. In some cases -- two, thinking Hank Faunce and Dean Wallace -- the hosts have died.
[This was first to someone else, Marilyn.] Before getting to what we discussed on bus 100..here is about fires [flames as high as 30 stories] and climate and politics in France and Spain.

NOAM CHOMSKY: NEOLIBERALISM AND THE ROOTS OF FASCISM
Noam Chomsky Interviewed by Chris Hedges (Part II)
October 28, 2022. The Real News Network.
I only mention her becasue in addition to other readings he mentions potential major schism of the "party" not only due to immigration and tax monies sent for weapons and in particular concern or not for happenings in Gaza, Erika Uyterhoeven, below.
One might think there are several reasons not to support Google, the search index of record, monopolistitc, "buying out" of many smaller companies, firing employess for speaking out about what the company does....
Not "libertarian" by any broad meaning and "democracy" in current less than ideal state being overshadowed (to put lightly) by technological entities.

https://ips-dc.org/each-missile-the-pentagon-buys-to-commit-war-crimes-abroad-could-fund-critical-services-at-home/ rather than examples of monies could be used for SNAP, etc. instead of weapons I rather mention of e.g, of what you are doing ensuring children are ready for the start of school in fall and parents are not in a panic about how to do it. I also think those people oppsoed to SNAP leave out peopole working, the ones called "low income" whereas it is the companies ought be called low-paying (to some employees or they are so-called contractors) high profit companies.

One example is the Iranian Revolution of 1979, some forms of the media "leave out"...some details.
"But [David Barsamian of Alternative Radio] particularly thinking of regime change in Iran. 50 years ago, in August 1953, Operation Ajax, carried out by a CIA agent who was incidentally Teddy Roosevelt’s grandson, overthrew the conservative parliamentary democracy led by Mohammed Mossadeq and restored the Shah to the Peacock Throne, where he ruled for the next 25 years."

"Does Medicare have a role in financing graduate medical education?"
"[Extract from above url ] Yes. Medicare is the single largest, public program providing explicit support for GME. In federal fiscal year 2022, the Medicare program paid hospitals that train residents $5.88 billion in direct GME (DGME) funds.2 DGME reimbursements cover a portion of the direct costs of training residents, such as residents’ stipends and benefits, teaching physicians’ salaries, other direct costs (e.g., a GME office that administers programs, accreditation fees, educational space), and related overhead expenses."

"The federal budget passed by the Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by Donald Trump a year ago in July cut more than $1 trillion to Medicaid and Medicare over the next decade. These largest cuts to healthcare programs in U.S. history won’t take effect until after this November’s midterm election, but have already accelerated hospital closures in rural and impoverished areas across the U.S."

"Our country’s massive weapons budget has directly enabled the U.S.-Israeli led war on Iran that has caused thousands of deaths and is exacerbating the nation’s affordability crisis. Even if the war on Iran ends soon, it will have cost somewhere in the range of $50 billion to $72 billion, or more." See below url.

"Topic: US healthcare, the government and drug prices"
"Noam Chomsky: There's a lot of concern about cost of US healthcare, which makes good sense. It's going to tank the economy. There's about twice as much per capita as comparable countries have some of the worst outcomes and it's growing pretty fast. So yeah, that's a real problem. And a lot of criticism of Obama's plan from the right, as it's called, is too expensive. Well, there's some pretty easy ways to cut down the expenses.
For example, the United States is the only industrial country that by law, does not permit the government to use its purchasing power to negotiate drug prices. So one effect is that drug prices are way higher than anywhere else."

"US citizens: call on your congresscritter and senators to support what is being called the "AI for the people" act, but to remove the marketing hype term "AI" from the bill.
Here is what [Richard Stallman] wrote about the term "Artificial Intelligence" in the letter [he] sent.
Please join [...] in refusing to repeat the marketing hype slogan, "Artificial Intelligence", that the companies like to use. Let's limit the term "intelligence" to systems that can know and understand, within some domain — which the chatbots of today can't do. For more explanation, see https://gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#ArtificialIntelligence Despite the technology's great flaws, a handful of billionaires and tech oligarchs stand to capture trillions of dollars in wealth that needs to be shared with the rest of society."

https://literaryreview.co.uk/lifting-the-rug The closing comments from narrator -- think it is supposed to be an older John Boy from Founder's Day. The imagery is touching too especially grandpa, His memory and photograph have been thoughtfully invoked since his passing as Mr. Walton and as an actor.
"There is something within us that tells us all we will ever know about ourselves. There is a destiny that tells us where we will be born, where we will live, and where we will die. Some men are drawn to oceans. They cannot breathe unless the air is scented with a salty mist. Others are drawn to land that is flat, and the air is sullen and as leaden as August. My people were drawn to mountains. They came when the country was young, and they settled in the upland country of Virginia that is still misted with a haze of blue, which gives those mountains their name. They endured, and they prevailed. Through flood and famine, diphtheria and scarlet fever, through drought and forest fire, whooping cough and loneliness, through Indian wars, a Civil War, a World War, and through the Great Depression, they endured, and they prevailed. In my time, I have come to know them. Grandpa, in memory, I touch your face. A distance from me now, I feel you near. The coyote will disappear from the Earth and the whooping crane will follow the passenger pigeon, but you will endure through all of time. Grandma, I touch your hand, and when I do I touch the past. I touch all the small ships that brought us to this country, and all the strong, brave women who faced a frontier and made it home. Strength and love came together here. So not the same, they did not seem a pair, bound together, they were so much one. All I ever want is what they've had so long, and lived so well. A brother with an alien name. The ancient Jason went searching for the Golden Fleece. Our Jason makes voyages every day and never leaves the mountain. A first baseman grown to wife and mother, soft and stronger as she grew. A temper always at the ready hides the best of him, but I know my brother as my friend. A pretty girl deepens into beauty, impatient for time to pass and bring her love. His head most often in the clouds causes the rest of him to stumble, but seldom really fall. The little sister, full of wonder, and far enough behind to be a joy. And close as family were our neighbors, linked to us in ties as strong as blood. Gentility and graciousness lived there, too, the past flowing into the present, the present blending with yesterday. I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my fathers, back in time to where the first one trod, and stopped, saw sky, felt wind, bent to touch Mother Earth, and called this home. This mountain, this pine and hemlock, oak and poplar, laurel wild, and rhododendron, home and mountain, father, mother. Grow, too, the sons and daughters, to walk the old paths, to look back in pride, in honored heritage, to hear its laughter and its song, to grow to stand and be themselves, one day remembered. I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my fathers. I saw yesterday, and now look to tomorrow."
