  • Episode 165: 0219 Jon sucks at cars / The KS anti-porn bill is stupid and here's why / ER OR NOT!

    This guy named Chris Sevier...and he’s trying to destroy modern america...and Kansas is falling for it...

    Rep. Randy Garber, Sabetha...met with Sevier in December, is chief sponsor of (HB 2319) that would mandate an anti-porn filter on all new phones and computers sold in the state. It would impose a $20 fee for removal of the block, with the revenue going to anti sex-trafficking efforts.

    Now first of all this guy is not from Kansas. He’s from Tennessee...ALSO he’s insane.
    The Iraqi war veteran’s law license was placed on “disability status” in 2011 after the Supreme Court of Tennessee declared him “incapacitated...by reason of mental infirmity or illness.” Two years later he filed his suit against Apple, asserting that easy access to porn through his laptop constituted “unfair competition and interference of the marital contract.” “The Plaintiff became totally out of synch in his romantic relationship with his wife, which was a consequence of his use of his Apple product,” Sevier wrote. “The Plaintiff could no longer tell the difference between internet pornography and tangible intercourse due to the content he accessed through the Apple products.”
    He’s also behind a bunch of anti-LGBTQ legislation in KS that won’t pass because we have a decent human being in the governor's mansion...and even Brownback wouldn’t have signed on to this BS.
    POV
    But let’s talk about the porn bill for a second. The idea would be that if you live in Kansas you would own a phone that wouldn’t allow you to access porn, UNLESS you paid the state $20. So it seems more like you degens aren’t so much anti-porn as much as you are against the idea that you can’t make any money off of it.
    First of all how do you enforce that? You get the ISPs to go along with it? Good luck.
    Or you get the phone manufacturers to go along with it? HA!
    Does ANYONE agree with this? 576-7798
    Even if you get that far….
    Do you know what a VPN is? Software I can get on my phone, that anyone can get on their phone, to make it look like their signal is coming from somewhere else. It’s like $2 a month.
    Why on earth are you trying to pass legislation that was given to you by a guy who lives in Tennessee?
    Why are you doing this when Kansas has one of the highest per capita debt load in the country? More than Missouri, Nebraska or Oklahoma? What will this do to solve that?

  • Episode 163: 0218 How one woman took on Wal-Mart and won / Fast food makes you depressed?

    Think you can smoke weed and keep your job just because your doctor gave you a prescription? Well...one state agrees with you...how one pot smoker took on Wal Mart and won!

    Wal Mart loses case where they fired a woman with a medical mj card for testing positive

    WM is a welfare queen

    A federal judge ruled against WM….AZ employee...valid medical MJ card...tested positive...was fired….Couldn’t prove she wasn’t impaired…

    Listen to the circumstances she was fired under BTW...Carol Whitmire worked for WM for 18 years….May 2016 a bag of ice fell on her wrist...she went to the hospital...drug tested her...fired...Told them she had a script...for arthritis...they said “WE DON’T CARE!”....

    Wal Mart claimed they had a right to fire her under the Drug Testing of Employees Act.

    The judge told them that WM couldn’t prove that just because she had tested positive for the drug that she was indeed impaired at all.

    First of all it’s pretty funny that Wal Mart does drug testing considering you would have to be high to want to work there.

    Drug testing is an outdated and stupid form of workplace cruelty that doesn’t make us safer and only stops people who smoke pot less likely to apply for good jobs.

    But Jon, what if someone causes an accident, and we need to see if it was caused due to them being impaired by a drug?

    I’m not saying we should allow impaired people to work on forklifts and semi-trucks. But if you’re going to test someone to see if they are impaired DO that. Give them field sobriety tests administered by a 3rd party. How hard is that?

    And it’s important to talk about this NOW because mark my words weed will be legalized FEDERALLY in the next few years...Marlboro owner Altria invests $1.8 billion in cannabis company Cronos

    These were the people that kept cigarettes not only legal but available for 17 year olds.

    And I know turning to them now is like asking Thanos to use his power glove to snap you some sweet purple mcgoo edibles...BTW purple Mcgoo...is what my grandmother calls thanos.
