I don't think so. Your nastiness is at odds with the revelry of the day 😊

Nice of you to think this. You're crazy if you think that you have any authority over me.

Your personal values are your business. Far be it for me to comment, based on being a stranger. Values are your business. If you have an idea that is suitable for discussion then post it

Platitudes. The world isn't in the 19th century anymore, or even the 20th. Nobody cares.

These issues are about 3 years old. You need a Long view, man

But underneath the lead leadership team, the civil service remains intact to facilitate continued smooth operations I think this was established in the 18th or 19th centuries

And the idea that that message should be enough to satisfy anyone..

In that case it's a match made in heaven "Shockwave coming" according to Leon. Exactly.

We already know how you feel

How so?

Her law firm worked for Walmart.

Hillary Clinton (aka the Marxist 😂) was on Walmart's board of directors for 6 years during a key period of growth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Clinton's_career_in_corporate_governance

My Bills are playing their personal super bowl this weekend...

Populism shifts between the parties. Again, things change. Wal Mart used to be tight with the Clintons...

There are such things in place now. There was a new Brunswick experiment in online public collaboration, and it was quite interesting and successful. There were still a few trolls but with strong moderation it's really only as bad as your average parent teacher council meeting

Nonimous participants, yes.

Oh but it is. There's no public option for social media but it's quite easy to do when people want it. Nonimity can be mandated, with some limited capacity for anonymous suggestions and/or whistle blowing. The goal should be to mimic the conditions that allow for positive democratic engagement.

Easily? How so?

Speaking of naive, how about people who think CO2 reduction means we don't heat our homes ? Or people who think that following international treaties is arrogant ? I like the part about leadership, and I agree that the leaders - all of them - don't understand what it means to WORK. Poilievre has been an MP since his 20s, never had a real job. Trudeau was a bartender, teacher, both real jobs, then an MP and leader of Canada due to his name only - not any talent or thought leadership. Singh just seems like another lawyer to me. The election of Trump is a kind of proletariat revolt, you can't convince me of anything else... you seem to agree with me on his character.

No August 1991 ? No Black Dog? 😞 No Moonlight Graham? 🤔

Except, There has never been such a thing.

1. Democrat leadership didn't realize that Stock Market highs and inflation statistics didn't result in immediate satisfaction over the economy. 2. It remains to be seen whether we are going to see an upswing or Marx's final prediction about capitalism.

It's got aspects of Brave New World, even more than a totalitarian regime.

And you missed it too. "It's the economy, stupid" - James Carville

None of this is anything like the Trump deficits that are coming this way, if we can glean from past behavior. But believe it or not, I'm open-minded about all of this. His furied button smashing might produce something, although it might also crash the economy badly. I posted about the tariff plan here and a Trump supporter, I don't remember which one, asked "what tariff plan?"
