Rosemary Barton's combative year end interview with Prime Minister Mark Carney was pathetic. Seems Rosie was trying to appear super duper serious. Cos play failure, and a distraction to authentic discussion. Replace her, CBC NEWS!

Even though I never doubted that Donald Trump is a predator it is sickening to read about a young girl's encounter with him.

New article from me today about the new study of Finland's basic income experiment that found recipients of unconditional income had 33% better mental health than the control group that got the same amount of money with conditions. I also dive into a lot of other evidence about UBI and mental health
Finland Gave Two Groups Identical Payments. One Experienced 33% Better Mental Health.
New research from Finland's basic income experiment proves that simply trusting people with money—not just the money itself—significantly improves mental health

Donald Trump is both evil and pathetic at the same time. Imagine a country choosing him as leader. Or allowing him to remain leader as he spews hatred and harm all over the land.
