Ottawa has 99 problems and the mayor is half of them. 🤔
Giving $1 million of city money to pay for private security in the Byward Market is outrageous. All it will do is displace more unwell people into Centretown and surrounding communities. And announcing this at a press conference before consulting council? Not cool.

What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford

T-Mobile
Duke Energy

Metlife

United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Michael Burry has dumped his Thiel stock & Nvidia. Thiel has also dumped his Nvidia maybe for Dutch tulip bulbs?
This is the new image I meant to put as main pic. It shows the change in Thiel's holdings. Those letters NVDA stand for Nvidia and the words next to it are self-explanatory "SOLD ALL".
Thiel, the closest thing that Silicon Valley has to a bond villain, has pumped & dumped. So...what happens next?!?

Yeah, there are civil liberties trade-offs to law enforcement. But the breadth and depth of the scam economy is clearly a cancer on our society.
