Trump says those minerals are worth $500 billion, so he wants $250 billion payback forthe $65 billion which the Biden administration has given towards Ukraine since the Russian invasion of 2022, when Trump has done nothing but END his predecessor's support. This is nothing less than terrorism.

The ultra-wealthy lack humanity on a level which the rest of us will never be able to understand.
We can debate with each other, and eventually humanity will win over most of us without the outside interference.
The VIPs live in a completely different realm of thought, with no value for our human lives. When we allow them to take over and control our government institutions, we have lost it all.
Then they convince us that it was all the fault of the X voters or the O voters.
Know your enemy.

We are all screwed, as we're all living in SG2 right now.
Every vote people choose X or O, often making bad choices for selfish reasons. What's important is that we recall the humanity in all of us, no matter what our vote.
Where does all the money and demand for the game come from? Not organ harvesting, but from the ultra-wealthy VIPs who fund this all to make us fight among each other. Yet they're the ones who put us in debt and destitution in the first place, to create their obscene wealth.

Yeah, I don't get it. No matter how big my list is or how long I've been there, I never get engagement on bigger sites like I do on Mastodon.
The only time I've gotten Mastodon-like engagement on Meta was when I posted a picture of my game character dressed in rainbows, and everybody piled on with hate for "you alphabet people". That's not the type of engagement I want to see, obviously.
I had engagement on Twitter 15 years ago, but then it was probably more the size of Mastodon now.

The entire goal of the BCC’s “Can-do”’ political campaign is to petition government to lower taxes on the wealthiest corporations (not small business).
According to them, these are the “job creators” who procure funding of “critical public services” by profiting off labour so that YOUR taxes can pay for these public services while you petition the government to reduce THEIR taxes so YOUR taxes can pay for the public infrastructure which they use to build THEIR business.
That’s a mouthful, huh?

This is one of the worst-ever cases of "trickle-down economic" spin co-opting anti-capitalist terminology.
It's no accident that they say "We can close the wealth gap", which to any normal person means to address the great wealth inequality between the rich and the poor.
Instead, the Business Council of Canada describes the wealth gap like “our large Canadian monopolies make smaller profits compared to larger US monopolies".
Who considers this a problem? The monopoly CEOs who make up the BCC.

The question posed by City Councillor Knack: "One Thing
As we approach 2025 I want to know if you had the ability to make one change to any City service, what would that change be? Would you reduce road construction, extend library hours, build a new recreation centre, add more buses, change snow removal, etc.?
The idea here is to get a sense of what is the most important City service to you."

Israel banned Al Jazeera out of Israel in May for reporting favorable to Palestine. Now they are imposing sanctions on Hareetz, the longest-running publication operating out of Israel, for criticizing Israel's government. This is fascism. If you do not tow the line for Netanyahu, you get dismantled.

A scary diagnosis that boils down to Israel and the United States drawing lines to throw everybody into another world war, and the way those lines are being drawn, Russia will be with the United States. The Netanyahu-Trump-Putin alliance is coming, and it won't be pretty.

I mean, I get that Unions can be imperfect, but you're either on the side of workers getting a fair share of the great labour and domestic product produced, or you're on the side of capital ownership taking it from them. Anti-Union is anti-worker. They only exist for that cause to represent you and I in the working-class, whether they win or they lose in that fight. Conservatives have made it so very clear which side of the picket line they stand on.

Wait, what? Union members voted for Trump?
I work for a Union in Alberta, Canada, and here we know very well that Conservatives are anti-worker, anti-Union, and anti-labour, through and through. The president of one of our largest Unions in Alberta ran for leadership of the NDP (New Democratic Party, the most opposite you can get from the Conservative party while still being one of the three "major" parties), and of those three only the NDP really stands up for Unions and workers.

This graph shows the "Ratio of corporate capital gains to total revenue by sector" comparing Finance, insurance and real estate (NAICS codes 52 and 531) with everybody else.
It's not homeowners who are gouging the market, it's only the capital investors.
The same ones represented by such organizations as the quoted Realtors and Home Builders associations.

Realtors and Home Builders insist that the only way to solve the housing crisis is to build more houses.
Am I the only one who thinks we should be tackling prices, so people can afford a home?
---
As of mid-2023, there has been a housing shortage of 4 million homes in the U.S., according to the National Association of Realtors.
"It's clear that the prescription for that crisis is more building," said Jim Tobin, president and CEO of the National Association of Home Builders.

Just terrifying.
Funding terrorism is already illegal, but the new bill would let the government avoid the red tape required for criminal prosecutions or official terrorist designations.
In their recent letters, elected officials called for terrorism investigations of the New York Times, Reuters, CNN, and the Associated Press, relying on allegations that those outlets bought photographs from Palestinian freelancers who covered Hamas’s October 7 attacks.

Israel is ruled by a more-than-simply-aspiring autocrat and annexationist touting "total victory" while America will soon be governed by a similarly authoritarian and exclusionist MAGA demagogue. How these two disastrous leaders' worldviews and policies will coalesce or conflict will have a fateful impact on Israel, the Palestinians and the wider Middle East - from the wars devastating the region to the nature of the societies that will emerge in their wake.'

Can't be stressed enough. If you can afford rent you can afford a mortgage. You're already paying somebody else's mortgage on property they don't live in, to build their wealth and assets so they can take more property.
"I have contributed around $160,000 to various landlords over the last 10 years as a renter. Never missed rent. Can't qualify for a mortgage. It's not about coffee and Netflix.
It's about a predatory system of housing that uses a basic human right as an investment opportunity."

I saw a Global newscast the other day and the host there was echoing Trump but in the context of Poilievre, claiming that "it is fact that Trudeau could knock on Pierre's door right now and tell him the names [of the Conservative MPs on the top classified watch list]" because "he is the Prime Minister and he can just declassify it."
Then I switched to CTV and they were playing the homophobic, transphobic, charismatic Church of the Rock preaching about "fruity Christians".
