All right, everybody. Millionaire capitalists are in trouble. Let’s all tighten our belts and ration even harder. We can’t have them lose their private jets, huge McMansions, and fleets of sports cars. It’s time to dig deep. Save the 1%!

Meh. I’d be less ok with it if massively-wealthy people weren’t able to skirt taxes in life. Maybe get rid of it for people under a certain means. But even better, make the wealthy pay their fair share while they’re alive.

No, not ever. Where’s the hazard pay?

When my father died, the Uber driver taking me from my hotel to my family was a woman in the same boat. She told me she was breaking her neck to earn enough in the next couple of days to claim her father’s remains from a funeral home. We chatted about our situations. I asked if she’d be offended if I gave her a donation to help. She was so fucking grateful. We could afford the expenses, so it was a real reminder of how barbaric the system is when you’re living on the edge monetarily. She didn’t even have time to grieve because she had to hustle / grind.

Thanks anti-vaxxers. This is cool and good. Please go play in traffic.

He brought up men’s rights bullshit around the same time (actually, maybe a bit earlier). I shot that down in the most diplomatic terms I could. He seemed not to resist (I think I made my point fairly well and he reconsidered). He’s a good father and a caring brother. That’s enough for me.

Why raise another nation’s flag at all, let alone one filled with murder as a state goal.

Tech entrepreneur Adam Malamis was well-known in London’s business and charitable sectors. He had been on the Chamber of Commerce board and recognized as a “Top 20 under 40” by London Inc. magazine. His web-development firm, Simalam, caters to non-profits and government agencies and he helped launch a nationwide volunteer snow-shovelling network described as “an experiment in kindness.”

It’s often the ones courting attention and praise that turn out to be the biggest bastards.

The latest QAA podcast had an interview with a journalist who left the Intercept for bullshit like this. He said all the talking heads about military stuff (former generals) are on the boards of the companies standing to profit. What a shitty world.

Stop corporate welfare!

Start corporate warfare!

Because governments can’t do shit on their own. /s

But the judge said he wouldn’t face jail time before hearing both sides. That’s pretty normal. /s

Also not responsible for huge profits, I guess?

They called our Israel for being fucking murderers and that hurt my wittle feewings… won’t someone please think of how this makes me feeeeeel?

Second excellent ruling by a judge in Canada that I’ve seen in as many weeks. The other one blocked a police agency from getting a case thrown out where they completely fucked over a guy by calling him a human trafficker.

100%, but I’m in USA, so not really the target audience.

It’s a school program, not a food bank.

Meanwhile, the “food bank” to which the student was referring was revealed to be a university program and not a public food bank. And it echoed much of what he was saying in the video that got people so riled up.

On the website for the program, which is run by the Laurier Students’ Public Interest Research Group and Martin Luther University College, it notes: “If you are experiencing marginal, moderate or severe food insecurity, our program is for you to come and take what you need.”

It adds: “Take as much as you need. We do not limit how much students take because we don’t know how much you need. However, please keep in mind that the supplies we have must be shared amongst many.”

The university has responded to backlash as well. “The online abuse directed at our student is malicious and harmful,” it said in a statement to the Record. “We are providing the student with the necessary support.”

Prajapati confirmed as much, telling the Star that help from the school, including counselling, is what’s getting him through this. He called it a “strong pillar” of support for him.

Good on the school for defending him. Unfortunate that they’d need to.

Doing so would require essentially no money.

I preferred the first annual steal from Loblaw flyer, but this is also good.
