Our grocery oligopolies are back in the news for illegally over-charging people for bread.
I hope it doesn't distract us from the fact that those companies are, today, mislabeling food as non-American.
Today it was the strawberries in my local Soby's. I could take pictures like this every day.

If policy makers really care about the affordability crisis, of course we should regulate fees.
But policy makers mostly prefer oerformative tax cuts rather than confronting consolidated economic power.

It's the kind of day when I need an early cocktail.
CC, Revel vermouth, Kinship bitters. All-Canadian Manhattan.
It solves no problems in the world but I enjoy it.

The mental health thing is real.
I took a moment while snowboarding to check out the amazing view of Georgian Bay.
But instead of being able to enjoy a moment of peace, I kept thinking "how could we reinforce our coastal defenses to prevent an invasion?" #alwaysanxious

They want you to feel overwhelmed, exhausted and helpless.
I'm lucky to be in a position where I can get busy and joyfully do the work.
And hang out with Jake. Dogs help.

The American system is reproducing an entrenched class structure that is inherently unstable. It is producing harms across the spectrum.
And also -- Allwyn's makes the best jerk sandwich in the city.
Come at me on either of these points!

Quiet lunch at a booth for one at Yunnan Noodle Shack on Baldwin.
