who thinks this is a reasonable person to be POTUS. Regime change? He lies regularly and BSs constantly; it's his way of speaking. A legal, sexual, and economic predator. He's a greedy, sexist, racist buffoon. There is no moral compass here whatsoever. It would be funny if he wasn't so dangerous.

very good appearance on our CBC.

works like this: (unsold) assets (including shares) are treated as if they were sold on December 31, every year. The share of the asset equal to tax then belongs to the gov' from that point on, adjusted every year, until actually sold. The ultimate gain must be adjusted for inflation at that point.

I generally can't agree with taxing wealth as a matter of principle although inequality has reached obscene and insane levels which may justify it, assuming a proper amount of income tax was paid as the wealth was accumulated. However, technology now allows the taxation of capital gains "as you go".

odd listening to all the debate about the "second strike" when All the strikes are murder. Venezuela isn't shipping meth' and it isn't clear how much of the drugs (cocaine) here are headed for the US. (and since when do sellers intend to kill their customers) Calling people terrorists to steal oil.

while our "leaders" gush over TRump in person,
many would like to see "regime change" in the USA.
Perhaps Canada will park our aircraft carrier near Washington.
Oh darn, that's correct, we don't have one.
I guess it's up to you ( :-{))

definitely time for a worker controlled coffee chain
with the correct model, it would work

It's a matter of fact that troops are not merely free to defy illegal orders but have a duty to do so. They really don't (or shouldn't) need to be reminded. The more important impact of the video is to assure the civilian population that this is so, and have the troops know that the civilians know

yes There's plenty of resources and new tech/equipment makes it much more efficient to build a house (in person hours).They should be cheaper (in real $) if that was the only thing that changed.But the person(s) buying the house can also create more wealth to exchange for other things like the house

ha ;{) Many of us realize that there are tens of millions of relatively good, thoughtful people in the US. Unfortunately your (effectively) two party system split along lines of stupidity, greed, dishonesty (& cruelty), and you elected the king of fools. Your Burger King serves up too many whoopers

you mean "Triumph of the Witless"
I guess that's the sequel

yes, remember that "peace" was always available every day
The IDF could just leave (and Hamas would not follow)
They completely control the sea, air, and (access to) the land
could have set a hostage release date

hostage release is good

yes. you're in an especially dangerous place in the US. At this point, the problems cannot be legitimately addressed without threatening the interests of the wealthy and they'll do anything to prevent that. Citizens United got it wrong. The VOLUME of speech is not protected when it causes problems

and then there's the phony job(position) postings.Years ago I applied for a (public sector) job that ideally required education and expertise in two totally unrelated fields.I was uniquely qualified, working in both and I knew the people.I didn't even get an interview, and was blocked when inquiring

no point taking anything he says seriously til after the Con leadership review.The first con' laugh word here is "restore".We've never had anything approaching a true meritocracy.They grossly exaggerate the existing impact of DEI. But there's plenty of racism, sexism, nepotism and personal politics.

correct. the uncertainty, in itself, is extremely harmful
