For centuries, defense contractors have been ripping off the federal government by providing
shoddy work and defective products.
The latest example of this is the ear plugs sold by the company 3M that's left US soldiers
with permanent hearing problems.
3M again, you know, so in a nutshell, the government says we want a product that will
protect the hearing of our soldiers from this, you know, the AK 47 sounds, bomb sounds, heavy
equipment sounds, because so many soldiers are coming back with hearing loss.
It's the number one disability claim out of people that are coming back from, from places
like Iraq and Afghanistan.
So 3M says, we got just the thing for ya.
Let, let's sell it to you.
Now, what, as you look at this, doesn't this sounds just like all the other cases we see
where a contractor tells the government, we're going to deliver this for you and its junk?
Exactly.
3M did not do what they were supposed to do, did not deliver a product that was actually
going to help soldiers.
They knew according to, you know, a settlement they've already had actually with the government
that their devices were not manufactured and designed properly to actually close off someone's
ear so that it would prevent these noises.
So look, I mean the numbers here are absolutely startling.
You've got veterans are 30 percent more likely than non vets to have severe hearing impairment.
Those who have served after 2001, they're four times more likely to have military hearing
loss.
And as of 2014, we've got 933,000 vets receiving disability for hearing loss and 1.3 million
receiving compensation for Tinnitus.
And this is a, a ringing in the ear.
And that's what this lawsuit is about.
It's causing, causing this.
It's not just ringing in the ear.
I mean, it's so bad that people can't sleep.
Exactly.
It's so bad it, it actually interferes with their cognitive abilities.
It's not just something minor.
Right, you cannot function anymore because all you can hear, all you can focus on is
this noise.
You know, static ringing, whatever it is in your ear.
That is in your head 24 hours a day.
Yeah, now, let's talk about 3M here while we're on this topic.
There's a, there's a movie out and I'm not, it's a movie about a case that I tried up
in Ohio.
It's called The Devil We Know and it tells you the story of C8.
Pick it up from there, C8 and 3M.
Right.
3M was the company that actually made C8 for DuPont.
DuPont later bought it up, but 3M was making this chemical they knew was highly toxic.
They knew could give people cancer.
They use it to make Teflon.
Right, right.
And so 3M has this horrible history of making products they know are going to hurt people.
Products they know that maybe they don't work so well.
So when we see this particular case about these earplugs, and they say, well, no, no,
no, no, no.
We did everything right.
Really?
You're history tells us a different story here.
The history is, and I'll tell you this history because there's so many 3M type of defective
products, cases goes, but this, this particular story is, is on Netflix right now.
It's called The Devil We Know.
It kind of gives you an idea of what the mentality of these companies really are.
3M developed C8, they sold it to DuPont.
DuPont just absolutely poisoned seven, the drinking water of 70,000 people.
Caused cancer and gastrointestinal disease all, of all kinds.
But the point is it is a way of doing business that has started, it's not recent.
It's, it's you know, decades and decades.
We've been seeing corporations saying, how far can we push the limits?
On this, on this 3M case as the, on the hearing aid, the hearing loss aspect, I'm not sure
it's a case.
In other words, I'm not sure it's something that somebody can go out and sue 3M for because
there's something called government contract defense and that is where the government said,
this is what we want.
The government, if anything, it's a shame you can't sue the government for it too because
the government knew there were problems with the, with the, this item that was supposed
to stop all these huge decibels from causing people to go deaf.
They knew the problem.
They did their own testing and they let it go on anyway.
In other words, they said to 3M, you know, we know you got a defective product here,
but we're the US government and by golly, we're going to go forward with it anyway.
Well, I mean we see that happen in these government contract cases.
We do and the sickest part here is that, yes, 3M did settle a case with the DOJ, $9.1 million.
So the DOJ gets some of their money back.
3M gets to keep manufacturing their products and keeps government contracts, but the soldiers,
the people who use the product as is often the case, they're the ones suffering.
They likely couldn't get anything out of this.
And so it's the same story no matter what company.
And, and the same story also, the cost shifts to taxpayers, right?
Cause taxpayers have to pay for the disability for the product that was manufactured by a
corporation that's making billions that the government buys and says, you know, with a
nod and a wink.
Yeah, we're okay with that.
Sell it to us anyway.
It's the same story.
Told over and over again.
Again, I'm not sure this is a lawsuit.
It might be.
We'll see as this thing develops.
We'll take a closer look at the contracts.
Farron, thanks for joining me.
These stories, I don't think they're stories that people hear except for shows like this.

Cuando la estrategia no sale como esperas - Bisu vs Last - Starcraft remastered - Duration: 12:16.
Hello friends of remastered starcraft
In this video, I do a self-trolley, right?
about..
They always tell me what I say the intro
as if I was saying it in syllables,
so nothing, thank you very much
everyone who tells me about that
and thanks to those who like that intro.
In this video, we're going to have a great
battle between Last and Bisu on the Fighting Spirit map,
this battle was finished on the 10th
November 2015
and without further ado let's go with this great battle
we have here at one o'clock to our friend Last
that is already putting its first
Deposit
and Bisu more or less at seven o'clock,
that already put a pylon here
something strange, that basically you can use on this map
on the Fighting map
spirit because the field that has the pylon
it allows you to create
something out or down, right?
in this case what is Bisu doing
If I'm not wrong, it's creating
a gateway to be able to do an early harassment with the zelot
because the distance is very different from have the gateway here
to have it here
You can win many seconds. imagine that you win five seconds
every zelot and if you send multiple zelots you can have a competitive advantage
with respect to the timing that you expect enemy we have that Bisu is going to be the
Scout very early to know where he's going to direct the zealot so that's part
of the "tech" look there, take out the gateway and begins to remove the first zealot already
59 minute so 01:59 and that's it sending the first zelot. Sending to
build one while still does not have the Rax finished, because
it goes to "Mech" and it still puts us a refinery here does tell us
clearly that is going to mech so we see there it does not take anything in the
The factory's construction is already 100 gas factor and for our vigo
last and we already see in the way the first zelot that I came here to do of his
because the probe already found where Last, Last sales also make the
scout in the wrong way and he and the Marine is going to wait for the scout
again he's waiting for us there probe because you can not imagine that Bisu already
he has a zelot because there are not me there this is a classic "wall-in"
superclásico of friends terran in that map
and we are going to go that you already notice and go to the zelot so he has to flee to his
wall-in since here it can happen in the marine
there is a space of 16 or 17 of space then as the marine can
go through there without any problem
For that they measure they approach to attack but they
they cover in the walt and not in the mudito there not because he knows he can not pass the
zeal in that it is a little chubby we see there that the zeal of equal wants
sacrifice your life for help and leave a civilian does not take at least municipal that
his life is worth seeing there too already the proxy of visu that meanwhile
while society that created me and was already making that paillon to make a
Proxy gateway and a quote from the sides that clearly indicates to us that a
give templar for our friend visos well what
let's see to spend and he is and lived everything is about to die but you saw
that there is something strange here is a proxy very clear because it can not be that seen
you only have a suit union and choir tics at its base and it's clear that if
we have here the templar karts that has put and warned nor evil I think that it
handles our friend making them the micro de vultures not there
and there is the motorcyclist is not managing the culture and doing a great
makro if you have not seen and do not know how do that we leave you the video of how
make that convulsive frame and the maps to practice in this video here to the
right good we see there is culminated already the temple agar camps and you have to go out to
second to millisecond the first give temper is still not the best friend and
being to the improvement of the mines still do not look, they still have a little bit like that
that can arrive that give templar we are going to see if it is there that ends
fast and from there the bus starts but it keeps the middle of the map because it does not
know where the next one is located still while virus expands already
because you are sure that with that give templar will cause some damage
it comes out and when shaking towards the base from our friend last
and the first mine has been planted like this that possibly in that position also
sees it a first impact and already floor hears the
mine and do not dare to move more like this that you can not risk while
Lass decided to return with some fear of send him more
there's going to be the main draw you drag the mines but only sacrifices for one like that
that hurt the tanks the casting can not move there
it is extinguished sedar tremble and surely think
and thinks that already an imaginary I think that can i move in
let's see what he does the tank comes out as well
ambition what wins wins what motivates it move a little bit and see that there is no danger
see you there could be something there two terminals
when one is complicated three mines it's complicated but it comes out in the
temptation again the tanks and decides to move a little bit and with that
he is still and chao give early then we ask to walk temper while
that that has nothing else here is taking out an additional gateway gateway and
it is complicated because it seems that comes if the puig comes our friend
last that we had just seen is 50
exact and that it may just be has a single and valuable scan so you have to
use it wisely we see there it is left attack maybe for
you already know that these these players the koreans see it they see the
invisible as we saw in the video with I see it they see it they see it then
they see it they know where they are giving they know when to launch the person scan and it's
exactly do it in the middle of all the attack they do not put the mine to make him
the taranta is also to be tempered and it looks like it's going to fall let's see
survive here I try tel aviv se wants to get everything to put the
mine surely those of light or friend virus cares a lot about the
tanks look there makes a drone rild and manages to make you do not pass the
goal is the tanguillo or there is a mind tragic the tank so from some
way it's saved friends beat me look how the workers fall as they fall
the pross and they will go to attack the ups insurance
yes with following ones they manage to lower to the friend
friend welles but look they came all for here and in the height of shame and
puts a green tour in the base blocking over this part and put more lumps and
how the wau fall and how the workers saw this to this stage the
I played him a lot of damage hence the shaking 9 I am also very
good handling of that shaking like can kill the mine have seen that it does
that forgets to leave for the network tour but great damage great damage a lot of damage that
do the volts these problems are the most seen no
can the mines be able to put in but it put on top so the dragon can not
kill the mine kill them alburquerque already it does not have mines then there is not much
problem we see there that our friend and his
with the observatory if the first absorb to start having
less fear of the mines and look without clearly sends to work with all the
sure that it's going to come out they lose not a minute of money look there
also return charge as I explained to you it is passed so as not to waste time with
the workers who already had a mineral not it's distracting them a lot
mark your territory also the aste for prevent the virus from expanding the drone
they will no longer let the wild go by the damage they have done to them we have a 50
43 the ones with a lot of mineral so to be racks ansa racks
because he will not use any more marines and leave space to create these factors
and we see there does the scanner washes he realizes that
is what you have is the workers or the workers of visu that is already going
taking out two more construction starts of bushehr if tanks in mass to do
a definitive pulse sure sure so that they have to take advantage of that I've seen
at this moment is economically recovering
we see that stargate is coming out he already has has the temple so it becomes 2 and
comes to draw a referee not so let's hope they do not know how to create something here
suspect if the court's arbitrator we are looking for a new base there is no
nothing there is no proxy yet there is no third friend's base
I saw her and in the observer there is observer is going to scare you more than anything
I believe for all the factors that are going to can see here let's go to the cycle achieves
visualize while there is fire intermediate in the middle of the map and beezus
economically through the floors
the pus comes out and it comes out he sees all the observer sees everything already opened also
how many are missing five factors this does not you are going to count miso if it is that they make you the
puig now we see there that the I habit the court so
slowly 55 weiss it still does not come out it's not taking out the
habit and the puig is coming makes the break to avoid that case is already
is taking the habit but it seems that he will not arrive he pauses and takes the
organs in the middle so that the terrat put an earthquake and delay its advance
basically but they already have it cornered are too many tanks are
they approach the bones they put the mines go falling into the dragons and it seems that the
referee will not see there will not be more people get raped and I think
that we have a jiji and it's going to be defeated in his friend made those fall
three seconds left and the we left with the vile to see that it is not that
that are not nicolás tone the first champion of the ones beating him to nothing
more and nothing less kingdom follows nothing partner I leave you with some videos
that I recommend seeing the channel and we we see in an upcoming starcraft video

That's Look at Truck Stop Showers Trucker Rudi 01-24-19 Vlog#1663 - Duration: 16:18.
good morning good morning guys - now welcome welcome to the show
we are just getting going here this morning we had our 10 hour break now
it's time to hit the road again as we like to call it right now we ought to be
super super careful in this parking lot because when I was walking in there
then you have to be careful you don't fall on your house because it is super
super slick in this parking lot but oh well that's just how it goes but anyways
we're getting our day started the Sun is just risen so there is still some
beautiful beautiful colors in the sky which I really really like that but man
did we ever get lucky here last night we only I only managed to see a couple
of spots on that side there and that's where I found me a parking spot and
parked it for tonight but this place got full and I think I showing you guys this
place before we're after that middle section up here is like for paid parking
only you know like you'll see it up here to the right where oldham yellow stakes
are whatever you got the blue reserved sign on it that whole section all the
way to the front is all reserve parking all the way to the end I kid you not
this is like a court at least a quarter of the parking lot that is reserved
reserved parking only but what can I say right that's how they make a lot of
money off of drivers these days then then there's a couple of spots even up
here on the left here too but oh well anyways
we gotta go we had six hundred miles to our customer yet which we should be very
very close to the customer for tonight I'm planning on it anyway so we got a
green light so let's see if we can get that coke out we're not gonna get that
green light nope I kind of figured buddy this other guy was taking it a little
easy there so that's okay I mean it's no sign saying we can't make a right-hand
turn on red so I'm pretty sure we can do that especially since these guys got the
turning lane going right now that's what it looks like I just want to make sure
yeah that guy is turning yet still come on our truck put it in gear sometimes it
takes a second before it actually gets going because it there's got a shift the
ear and it's visit automatically right so here we go
we should be hitting the toll road the i-80 90 they're very very soon we're
only a couple of miles away from finally taking entrance to the ride on i-80 East
I know I'm trying I'm trying RK come on truck shift gears already
sometimes I hate these automatics you know because you're trying to get going
you don't want to be at 2200 rpm and then the truck doesn't want to shift
gears you know and then I got a hit the believer here manually to manually shift
again because then I don't know for some odd reason that just wants to shift two
gears at the same time sometimes and sometimes that's not a good idea
sometimes it's better just to shoot one gear at a time but
yes look at that beautiful beautiful red sky sunshine and all of that stuff that
looks gorgeous I like it anyways I hope you guys do too I know even yesterday it
was gorgeous to there in the morning when I took off but looks nice again
this morning so here we go now we can get into this thing up here I know that
right lane is like sitting on two I 65 Sol's and I don't want to go on that one
I want to stay on this road here
trying to get to the i-89 the toll road that's where we gotta go yeah we'll be
on that pretty much all day I'll be going up to probably prairies perv area
I know they got a he loves up there as well and one of the
reasons I'm going to go up there is because I really need a shower I was
going to take one last night but there wasn't really any parking that the at
the love's there so I kinda had to go over to the Petro who I could have still
gone over there but that would have been a super long walk clothes I would have
to cross that busy busy street right there and I don't really feel like doing
that last night I kind of got tired and pretty much went straight to bed so
didn't even do any editing or anything like that last night so
one day behind kind of so I'm gonna have to get to editing tonight hopefully I
don't feel tired too tired tonight tonight to do it but anyways let's get
down down a road I appreciate you guys tuning in if it's your first time here I
am trucker Rudy I forgot to do that right at the big anchor to say that and
if this is your first time we would love to
have you on board by that subscribe button don't forget to hit that Bell so
that way you'll be notified whenever we upload a new video which is generally
everyday we are we must the our time but you know we need a break to once in a
while all right ready now let's continue cruising here and see what the day will
bring us I have just entered a higher here a little while ago guys and we had
such a nice beautiful clear sky kind of a nice sunrise this morning next thing I
know a couple of minutes later it started to get really cloudy as you guys
can see now and then I checked the weather forecast and they're saying some
winter advisories for this area one to three inches of snow expected at least
up in Indiana and heavy winds 15 to 25 miles an hour possibly gusting up to 35
is what it said so it's like holy moly when are we ever gonna run out of this
weather I guess or just get hammered hard this week even in Steinbach they're
having extreme extreme cold temperatures up there for the next week yet even on
Wednesday it's supposed to be minus 29 just the temperature by itself not even
considering any windshields yeah so put in anyways we just entered into
Ohio and I typed into my GPS there to get me routed to the lovestruck stop up
here by Toledo area Perrysburg I think is the actual name of that area and so
now we're going to go up to that love's truck stop and then we're going to we're
gonna go in there and take this a shower and then of course my phone always has
to ring right and just quickly have to press the button because you're aren't
allowed to press one button on the phone right I just quickly have to press the
button so it's not screaming in our ears I just looks to me like it's a yeah I
don't know some us telemarketer that's pretty much all it is anyway so they can
leave a message if they want to talk to me if it's something important they can
always leave a message right but that's just how it goes I can be driving for a
couple hours as soon as I turn on my camera
somebody's gotta call me right anyhow continue on down to the truck stop we
got about 30 miles to go we'll be there and finally my EZ Pass is working and
had me worried a little bit at the first toll plaza man I got on the 80 because
that one didn't have a gate and the light stayed red so I'm like okay I just
went through anyways because they take a picture of your license plate and it
pulls on your license plate right the company pays for it no big deal right so
then the next one I come up to I figured I'd make sure that I would go up to one
that has a gate and sure enough this time it opened it works so then I went
into Ohio same thing it's working so there's no easy passes finally now I
know for sure it's working I mean up in Chicagoland and all of that they got the
fast lane so you just stay in that if the EZ Pass doesn't work you just take
the picture in your license plate and the company gets charged on that account
because the the EZ Pass is registered with your license plate right so if they
have your registration or your license plate and then okay this EZ Pass belongs
to that truck right so then they charge it to that account but anyways all that
being said that's hammer down and get to the truck stop and take me a shower I
need one bad all right guys here we go we got our
now let's go inside and Tikas that much-needed shower just got here had a
really nice truck driver there beside me because it was kind of tight I couldn't
really make it to the spot so he was nice enough to just pull forward so I
could pull all the way to into the parking spot big fat thumbs up to that
driver I'm telling you but anyways let's go in and take a swig shower I need one
shave and all that good stuff ooh what is
that's almost looking like it's starting to snow man don't be starting to swear
at me here no this is a very very nice shower too look at that nice and big oh
yeah look at that nice table right there brush your teeth and shave and all that
good stuff over there nice and clean too so that's how it's a good shower guys
here we go guys after that very very nice shower we took off again and very
shortly after that somebody called us and next thing I know another guy calls
me and next thing I know we have a big group of people in there and yappin away
there for a good while saw gets me down the road a good while too right but you
know it's fun Navin and that nice little group in there but at the same time I
need to be making some videos too right why we're still still in Ohio but we are
getting very very close to get nada Ohio because we just went through Cleveland
well not really true Cleveland just on the edge of Cleveland so we're actually
east of Cleveland already which that's you know all good ways down already
right but we still have 228 miles to go to get to our customer and I still
haven't gotten the reload offer so I'm not sure what we're gonna be doing
tomorrow but depending on if I get me a reload offer or not here before 4:00 or
at 4:00 o'clock might be depending on all right good tonight originally my
goal was to make it down to its I think it's called in 80 that's just on the
other side of the I 180 but you know very close to our customer right but if
I don't get a reload then I don't really feel the need to really push it so much
to try and get down there right at least that's how I feel about it but we'll see
I might still do it anyways just so that way I'm there you know I don't have to
drive a lot of miles tomorrow morning and if I all the sudden do get me a
reload at least and I can go right starter I see there you go getting close
to the Pennsylvania State Line there's a little bit of Sun every once in a while
being throwing up by other vehicles that's why I'm cleaning the windshields
every so often especially if I want to record right you want to have a nice
clean windshield so you guys can see nicely out of the window right and it's
still kind of very very light flurries all day long but nothing really to worry
about as of yet and they said four o'clock this afternoon it was close to
start hitting and so far it's not doing anything which I'm happy about that
I don't really need it to be doing anything either
I really don't but anyway let's continue on cruising along here and see where we
end up for tonight right we made it yeah we made it to the pin 80
truck stop and I'm only about yeah I would say 15 to 18 miles away from
getting to my customer now the only bad news is I just got my message here this
very late evening from dispatch telling me that my reload is going to be out of
Hazleton Pennsylvania which I kind of suspect it only problem is the load
won't be ready till tomorrow at 6 p.m. they're hoping that will be ready
earlier but the way it looks like it ain't gonna be ready early and it
generally isn't already too much earlier but I figured this load I can deliver it
as long as I deliver it before noon right that's what the load offers said
so guess what I'm gonna do I probably won't be going to deliver this load
until probably 11:00 that's kind of what I'm thinking but in the meantime got
some good news for you the wife had prepared me quite a few goodies here so
let's see we can show you guys on what we're having we got our traditional
peaches a bottle of water and we got some chicken alfredo it looks like yeah
yeah I think we're gonna have us a fantastic fantastic supper what do you
guys think leave me a comment below on what you think what my eating things
that I've been eating here at throughout the week microwaving but you know what
do you think of these ideas are they good ideas or or what I think these are
the best you know home-cooked meals right here in the truck I know they're
frozen and I gotta warm him up but they are very very good meals so and my
opinion anyways and I tried to connect to the penaity Wi-Fi over here and it
ain't working Eddie and working for some odd reason I was kind of hoping I could
upload my videos here but whatever but you know we are going to Canada
and I showed you guys my Wi-Fi system here the other day right so as soon as I
get to Canada I can use that thing and upload a few videos for you guys so but
anyways before my food gets cold here I'm gonna go ahead and have me supper
