A la Trump.

the very idea of food banks makes me so angry. that they even exist is such an indictment of our priorities. nevertheless, in view of the disaster incoming next week, i just donated to www.northwestharvest.org. your local version could use your help.

ya i think i’d rather have a Carteresque, “like most of us raised in this environment i have racismed in my heart and i fight every day to be aware of it and confront it” than that drivel.

When Gen X people say they know no one with complications of measles, they forget that our generation had vaccination programs in school. We were required to be vaccinated. Our parents were the first generation to have access to the vaccine.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Backbenchers in the UCP caucus (and there aren't a lot of them, given most government-side MLAs are in cabinet) have a lot of control over whether to pass Bill 2 with time allocation and/or the notwithstanding clause.

They could simply ask for it to be passed as a normal bill with full scrutiny.+

i don't like how many people accepted the 'we got here cause cancel culture went too far' reading on the last decade. that's right wing recruitment rhetoric. there was/is 10x more power in complaining about being criticized than doing the criticism.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."
