O’ Canada, most of us appreciate you 🇨🇦🫡. I recently was watching the piece on how Canada was creating quotas to recruit skilled Americans using incentives. Brilliant.

Oops. The end😉

Flock implemented filters for searches containing terms like "abortion," "immigration," or "ICE".

My guess is not all will stay on hiatus with this admin. The irony of MAGA voting for him the first time thinking chips were being implanted w/ vaccines is simply laughable now 😔

All making our data a top commodity. Not hearing much news re audits revealing #Flock Safety (license plate reader company) on how they shared data with federal agencies without proper authorization or communication. They now report they’ve halted these programs & claim

It’s a grin & bear it situation here while we take the hits to move past it. Most of those landing on the wrong side of history in this one will eventually have to pay the piper. Politically via our legal system, the ICC via UN & its Security Council, in history books. Everything has a price tag.

Unfortunately, we’re stuck w/ a megalomaniac that cares for nothing more than the Almighty Dollar at any cost. His 1st term he at least acted like the bills were his. This term he’s not even trying to pretend like he’s steering the ship. As long as he gets what he wants, he’ll sign anything.

MAGA wants the caste system back where everyone knows their place. Their fixation to return to the gilded age as a model is mind blowing & ignorant AF.

Before masks were even off my house equity increased over 360%, vet costs had doubled (their meds 😬). I had two geriatric dogs at the time so was there a lot (same vet new owner/computers/POS) & never saw anyone leave for less than $300 for basic care & noticed every dog like mine were on renal meds

Post pandemic they have priced out the ability to access animal care even for the basic things such as effective flea/ tick medicine.

The largest single owner of veterinary clinics & animal care businesses in the U.S. is Mars Veterinary Health, a family-owned corporation, not a private equity firm. Among private equity firms, JAB Holding Company, through its investment in National Veterinary Associates (NVA),

Private equity has been out of control in the U.S. since of pandemic. They alone is responsible for the housing & rent increases going through the roof as well as vet care during the pandemic. They preyed on struggling business/citizens to fleece them for pennies on the dollar only to ⬆️ prices.

Most fall under one umbrella, privatize most gov programs to not only enrich the top 10% but lessen the ability to have any meaningful oversight. Private companies have little restrictions & many who violate it get passes for PAC $. Evangelical Christians have been ramping up to take education.

His comment doesn’t even compare to her book passage as part of a hypothetical list of her 1st-day actions if she were to become president in 2025.
She wrote her 1st action would be to make sure "Joe Biden's dog was nowhere on the grounds" then added the line, "Commander, say hello to Cricket".
