- Update on the National Media (American Issues Take Two)
How Are They Doing in These Critical Times. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair, Stephanie Dalton and Chuck Crumpton.
Our panel help us understand changes in the national media, including the takeover of Chris Licht at CNN and his new policy of 'balanced reporting' and not calling the 2020 election 'The Big Lie'; the loss of Rachel Maddow and the musical chairs on MSNBC; the Dominion voting machine suit against Fox News and the lockstep remarks of the hosts there, the status and coverage of the News Hour on PBS, and how well these media, the social media, and the New York Times and Washington Post are handling the news about Trump's attempts to undermine the January 6 investigation in Congress and the FBI investigation at Mar-a-Lago.The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6mIafeQC2BSFX6GC4mnhEUNPlease visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.42 min - The Hawaii Physician Shortage (Talking Tax)
How the GET Contributes to the Problem. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika. The guest is Scott Grosskreutz.
According to a study by the University. of Hawaii School of Medicine, there is a shortage of physicians in Hawaii. The school has forecasted that the gap between supply and demand is now close to 1,000 doctors, and it's been getting worse over the years. https://bit.ly/3wQWsGPThe GET contributes to the issue because insurers won't pay it. Medicare, for example, will only reimburse medical work at 'reasonable charges' and will not reimburse the doctors for the GET they have to pay. Doctors won't or can't surcharge their patients for it, meaning they have to account for yet another expense amidst Hawaii’s high cost of everything.There may be people out there thinking that, well, doctors are rich fat cats, so why shouldn’t we tax them up the wazoo? The short answer is that they are going to jump on a plane and get the heck out of here – which is backed up by the statistics discussed earlier in this article. Then, of course, they won’t be around when you need them.The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6lmEllOKP493URXssFT4N7GPlease visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.37 min - Ukraine: History Repeats Itself (World of Books)
A Talk on Marvin Kelb's 'Imperial Gamble'. The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops. The guest is Howard 'Dallas' Thompson.
Marvin Kelb's book 'Imperial Gamble' offers an excellent account of Ukraine's history up to the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014. It explains how this country has struggled to consolidate its identity, oscillating like a pendulum between the East and the West, to depart from communism and to become a democracy with a free market economy. The current war in Ukraine stems from the same issues that Ukraine and Russia (their people and their leaders) have been trying to 'resolve' over the course of history. Will there be a chance for peace and reconciliation in 2022?The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6nb8XWDbEE9rutmO1mbwBb6Please visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.29 min - Dee Morikawa, State House Rep from Kauai (Politics and Land in Hawaii)
