Back In 1913, A Lawyer Who Later Sat On The U.S. Supreme Court Called Sunlight The Best Disinfectant.

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement departments don't have to obey sunshine laws when it comes to bodycam footage. It falls only to bystanders with cell phones. Body camera footage is not subject to freedom of information act requests. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Golly!!! Thanks!! You Didn't Shut The Government Down!

Shutting the government down as a part of political chest thumping is disgusting. Families who live paycheck to paycheck suffer for these political stunts. I've know about paycheck to paycheck living. Thankfully for me, politicians back in the day had not sunk as low as they have today. Disgusting. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Flood Insurance? Why Should I Pay To Insure Your Waterfront Property?

Federal flood insurance is a program designed to keep whole communities from being destroyed beyond rebuilding by spreading the risk among all Americans. Now, those who get the benefit may have to bear more of the cost. It won't make them happy, but paying for what you get is just fair. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Is God Angry Enough With You To Give You COVID?

The notion that God is angry with us and is punishing us with COVID-19, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes and war is just plain wrong. People take revenge on those with whom they are displeased. God does not. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
