#DougFord says the province’s “tough” cost of living is the reason why his govt handed promotions to three #Conservative MPPs, topping up their salaries by more than $16,000 a year.
The Premier has the audacity to whine about the "burden" his MPP's face because of the "cost of living" when MPPs enjoy a $165,000 salary + housing & mileage.
Reminder: Ford went to court over cost of living raises for #Ontario nurses, PSWs, ECEs, & public sector workers' while he froze their wages for 3 yrs.

Capitalism is a free market.
Capitalism is, for example, being able to buy a pack of cigarettes at $15 and sell them $2 a pop on the street to make $40.
We don’t have a free market; therefore we don’t have capitalism.

We are a small, fledgling movement trying to start some projects in Ghana. We align loosely with #solarpunk and #hopepunk and we believe humans would be much happier and healthier if we lived in harmony with nature and each other. Really hoping to make some interesting connections here with people and communities who are also passionate about being the change! #newhere #introduction

Japan’s“great ally”, USA, used to boil flesh off of Japanese skulls and send them home as war trophies and gifts to their sweeties back home.
A young woman writing a thank you note to her boyfriend in the Navy for the skull of a Japanese soldier that he sent, 1944
A rare and disturbing picture, so much about this is still a mystery. We don’t know what became of the skull—or, indeed, what became of the young woman herself, or…RHP (Rare Historical Photos)

Yeah, turns out war is pretty fucked up. Look up the rape of nanjing. Or Pearl Harbor. Or Hiroshima.
You get the idea.
That is edgy. Stalin virulently rebuked war crimes against Nazi Germany's civilians and POWs as it pushed them back.
By contrast, the brutality, starvation, and high death rates for nazi POWs held by the US in western europe during and after ww2 is not a story most ppl know about. Losurdo gets into this a bit, as well as contrasts the nazi's position that the slavic ppl must be eradicated and made into slaves, while the USSR's position was that germany and the german ppl will go on after the war, and efforts should be made to not follow the nazi's scorched earth policy.

Start war- Lose. CRY. Repeat
Ridiculous shitshow. The only reason it is war is because the Muslims hate the Jews. That is all there is to it
If all the Jews would leave Gaza today, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia ans possibly Iran would take all the land, maybe even fight each other over it. Ans they would take all of Gaza too, There would be no more Palestine. Because they are only needed as an excuse to fight the Jews
Turn of the crocodile tears and stop pretending
Well genocide support is alive and well obviously ☝️ and this is proof that indoctrination and propaganda works.
Thankfully, the rest of the world is not so ignorant.
Can't wait for the War Crimes trials to rid the world of these criminals.

How about 7 October last year? Civilians slaughtered and their corpses paraded in front of celebrating masses?
Genocide wow such a big word. U do understand that Israel could blow all of Gaza in a day if they real wanted to kill all civilians as U keep claiming.
Israel got their land back from Great Britain. Who took it from the Ottoman Empire. PLO was founded by a NAZI and that is probably why the Socialists love them so much. Palestine has also been propagated by Soviet.

More on the #23andme bankruptcy in this thread by @pluralistic (read upward from the link).
But the thread (read downward) alsopromotes the fascinating idea of a compulsory "living will", that for any company on whose function their customers rely on, the company has to set aside instructions and funds to help transition the users.
For goods attached to a mandatory cloud service, e.g. open-source the components or help free the goods from the cloud.

Well ... who's laughing at my tinfoil hat now;) It's always a conspiracy until it isn't.
Image the worst possible thing that corps could do, and you're likely only half way there.
