Brilliant! But what if there were a spelling mistake in the transcribing? It's actually the right to bare arms.

I recognize the inspiration for that poster; came across it yesterday, by chance.
The United Nations Fight for Freedom poster designed by Leslie Ragan of the United States Office of War Information. Flags of the member nations of the United Nations wave amidst smoke of a bombardment, with military aircraft, ships, and tanks at the bottom.

The high-speed train network dramatically transformed travel in China, significantly improving access to interior provinces and boosting their economies. Phasing out the old green trains, however, has made train travel less affordable for low-income people and reduced routes they can afford.

"Michael Cohen’s pursuit of the #Trump Tower #Moscow project during the campaign created a direct business interest in currying favor with the Kremlin."

If they want to be Americans so badly, the easier thing to do is to move to Texas where they can have everything they want immediately.

Should we double-down on subsidizing Alberta libertarianism giving most of their sovereign petro wealth to foreign oil companies in exchange for chicken feed, wildfires, and extreme weather? What would Norway do?

Premiere Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney signed an MOU to massively increase oil and gas production. To justify this, they're betting on two things: Carbon Capture: An unproven and wildly expensive technology to clean up the pollution later. Nuclear Power: Which will take decades to build and creates radioactive waste we must manage for centuries. They're choosing this incredibly expensive and risky path when a far cheaper, faster, and safer option exists: transitioning to a mix of sustainable wind, water, solar, and geothermal energy. This isn't just a bad plan. It's an dangerous gamble with our climate and our money, locking us into a polluting future we can't afford. When the climate loses, we all lose with more wildfires, more floods, war, forced migration, and a more unstable world for our kids.

"Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam" by Nick Turse immediately comes to mind — why you don't let scientific management business principles drive warfighting. A young, ignorant, frightened male with a gun is very dangerous without constraints.

The 1970s were prosperous for most Canadians. This was no accident. Progressive taxation, investment in public goods, strong labour institutions made it that way. 40 years of trickle-down #neoliberalism dismantled it. #Budget2025 goes even further. We need to rebuild our Socially-Conscious System.
Shows the following text: 1. Correct the Bad Distribution of Income: Structural Policies The goal here is to build a economy where prosperity is broadly shared, reducing the excessive pool of capital that chases speculative bubbles. Progressive Taxation: Using tax policy on income, capital gains, and especially wealth and inheritance to reduce extreme concentrations at the top. The aim is not to punish success, but to ensure that the benefits of economic growth are more widely distributed and that the state has revenue for public investment. Strong Labor Institutions: Supporting the ability of workers to organize into unions and bargain collectively for higher wages and better benefits. A strong middle class with purchasing power is the best foundation for stable, sustainable economic growth. Investment in Public Goods: Direct government investment in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and research. This does two things: it directly creates good jobs and economic activity, and it increases the human capital and productivity of the entire population, leading to higher wages.
