Trump’s right. The US is doing big numbers these days. For example, JD Vance was booed 834% more than any other politician in Olympic Games history.

See how Thatcher's system enriched the rich, buoyed London and the SE of England, created horrible inequality in the UK, opened the door for oligarchs to settle & avoid taxes, & so on. Privatization helps the rich, destroys the middle class & crushes those who needed a social safety net.

People need to understand what is going to happen in the near future, people will be replaced with AI. But instead of services/goods becoming cheaper and more available they will become more expensive and only for the rich.

This was the CBC in Canada. What did NBC do, I wonder?
J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it.

“There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

A shoplifter steals a few items.

A billionaire robs every single person who uses their shops.

The theft is incomparable.

But only one of them is called a thief.

I just hope now that Jeff Bezos has laid off 300 people from the Washington Post it gives him enough savings in cut salaries that he can afford to send more wealthy people into almost space for a few minutes again.

Because it would be a darn shame if civilization lost that.

For someone who has such a deeply-seated need to be liked, Doug Ford sure does like calling Ontarians and leaving them nasty messages.

Canada’s Laziest Premier also has quite a few opinions about work.
