Yea, Scandinavia is hard at work doing the same thing, especially Canada’s cousin Sweden, the real feminism.
There aren’t any jobs or housing, the jobs that exist require reading, writing, professional experience and a degree but they sure need 150-200k low/no education middle eastern men every year (country of 9mil people).
Makes you believe in “conspiracies”.

Haha I was just having this argument with a local “green economy” type friend. He didn’t like me pointing out our oil companies are moving to sweden.

At least their government isn’t actively preventing resource extraction.

But the problem is that 19$ per ton of emissions apparently we subsidize (ignoring the fact they pay 40$/ton) but our own prime minister structured the carbon tax so he can take libyan oil, not pay extraction carbon tax, or carbon tax on shipping it across the world, and make more profit). And can block pipeline construction to further his own petroleum interests.

Anyone following the Gamestop (and others) crazy ride? I bought into AMC on wealthsimple a couple days ago. Nothing like the run GME had, but cool to be part of the movement.
Short positions get called tomorrow. Should be interesting.

So there was a military coup in Myanmar, western media reports locals are mostly just irritated about it no internal sources. (Edit: coup carried out by alleged far right ethno-nationalist elements of the military leadership)

Still no stimulus check despite campaign promises of immediate relief.

ICE Concentration camps still open. No indication of closure.

Biden has indicated an end to federal contracts with private prison corporations (objectively a good thing) does not include DHS/ICE facilities, does not outlaw private contracts at state level.

Vaccine rollout is improving, 30 or so new virus variants discovered SA and UK variants both positive in US.

The US government officially recognized Juan Guaido as president of Venezuela despite his never having been elected. Sanctions increased to pressure Maduro govt. Funds allocated for right wing columbian militias to aid “pro democracy” initiatives in VE.

Bolivian MTS party won back the government from the coup interim government that forcibly ousted and Exiled President Maduro last year after an exclusive trade deal was reached with China in regards to their lithium exports.

As of now 454000 people in the US have died from covid 19

Rich people got mad at internet nerds for beating them at their own game making it blatantly obvious that wall street is just a casino.

There’s a whole lot more too…:expressionless:

Just need to get the people to see it. In the US it’s like pulling teeth. I just spent 20 minutes trying to explain to an old coworker who makes $15/hr roofing that raising the minimum wage would increase his bargaining power with the boss. “Bro they raise the minimum you can go tell him you want 25 or you’ll go do literally anything else”(anything else is easier than roofing) his response “no I just don’t think they should make that much.”

Apparently we jews have a space laser to start forest fires now? First I’ve heard of it, but it’s pretty fucking neat though lol🤪
