It is very rare that I agree with DEA, but the point made here is important -

If you’re trying to smuggle drugs on a small speedboat, why bring aboard 6 extra bodies? Why not take the necessary crew only to save space for inventory?

Be cognizant of how drug panic is used to mislead us.
6/ 🚨 Per CURRENT and former US officials, there are strong reasons to believe some people on board the Sept 2 boat were people being trafficked.

(That is consistent with prior NYT reporting)

Every year, I roundup the best Black Friday menswear sales. This year, I've broken the list into two parts because there are so many deals. Today, there are sales on tailored tweed topcoats, the best hoodie, Blundstones, and Uniqlo's HEATTECH (cheap way to keep warm)

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

2 months ago Coastal First Nations asked Minister Hodgsons for a meeting. The liberals got back to them Wednesday and said they could talk on Friday- after Carney announced the pipeline.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

“Smith added that Nally had been incorrect in his initial assertion about the petitioner’s voting history.”

So Nally maligned a petition organizer with entirely false information?

Not a strong argumet for competence…
