If I could have longer posts here I would delete my twitter account immediately.
To me these short blurbs of information is partly why we are where we are politically globally.
The world is far more complicated than 244 characters.

What bothers me about BlueSky is it’s trying to be the old Twitter.
The world is complex and in my opinion there just isn’t enough space to express complex ideas here.
People try post trains and they are hard to read and many try them here. 1 of …
One idea more and no space to say

Elon Musk has one redeeming quality - he’s mortal. That’s it there are no more.

Where are all the people of the “Middle Way” in politics? Why still after hundreds of years haven't people realised that pushing for balance will push everyone and everything forward faster than constant partisan course corrections.
It’s ridiculous and tiring to watch

The Borowitz Report 11/30: “Donald J. Trump raised eyebrows in diplomatic circles on Saturday by naming the former drug lord Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman U.S. ambassador to Mexico. When asked about El Chapo’s 10
felony convictions, Trump said, ‘I wish he had more, but I still think he’s qualified.’”

I’m a victim of the Tactical Hoodie 4.0 campaign—yup, I bought one.
What excites me the most is the Velcro arm patch, which you can use to slap on a flag or whatever you like.
I ordered a velcro patch, a Canadian flag on top with “I Troll Joe Bros” on the bottom.
I can’t wait to wear it!

My province, Sask. in Canada, is classically partisan right as in no one thinks about much and votes right wing.
It’s all about taxes. Being as sensitive as I can, this is the most unfit province in Canada.
Obesity is an epidemic here.
Health care is 44% of the entire Sask. budget.

Two things I find culturally odd.
1) Why do many Americans believe every country and culture wants to be like them?
2) Why don’t Canadians who simp for America and want us to be like them move there if its so superior?
No disrespect to our neighbors but
what is American culture?
School me.

In 2008/2009 the great financial crisis, interest rates fell to 1/2 percent.
Keynes intervened.
A great crisis was averted, bankers and banks the world over are saved.
Fast forward to C19 - the worlds supply chain collapses and people suffered.
Keynes intervened.
And now he's a monster.

Am I wrong? Not one neoliberal economist came from a modest background.
Not a small thing.
Rational Utility Maximizers.
From Hayek to Friedman all born into upper middle class or higher.
When debating that mouth full above, the context of their lives should be lost on no one.

Going to start posting more here. I’m gone from X at the end of Canada’s federal election. X has become a dark cold place with more unmuzzled ugly people than I could have ever imagined. X reflects the malaise, the cancer uneducated white men have become. Clear and present threats to democracy.
