Busy person who needs to come back to social media from time to time to think tank solutions. Love information. Hate propaganda.
Entitlement.
I really feel that every moment I think "this person was disrespectful to me." Or "Why should I do this for free?" or "That's mine!" I need to take a deep breath and remember to work hard and be nice to people.
If I can identify entitled behavior in others I should see it in myself.

Is China experiencing deflation? I look at online prices that are higher than last year, even from China.
I'm not sure why. But it could be that Canada is increasing shipping rates from China, supposedly by 16% each year. Before it was quite cheap.
This global situation needs reflection. 🤔

Take something old and make it new. Take something broken and fix it. Take something dirty and clean it.

I'm shopping but also making and buying second hand. Sometimes stuff wears out. I am giving the gift of paying for some in-person classes this Christmas.
Definitely a departure from my usual spending habits.
It's funny how many things u can give that are more valuable & useful than store bought.

It's so hard to do Christmas shopping now that The Bay shut down. I have found myself at the dollarama, Superstore and Indigo so far. Just buying from Canada first. When it's available.

Some people are saying they spend $300 a month on food. That's obviously a lie. That's $60 a week. Even to get 1000 kilocalories a day in potatoes and apples you would spend more than that.
It is good to see people have a little less food price issues this year than last year in Canada.

Tilly phrased that in a way that makes it sound like he is one of many lined up at Canada's door expecting a handout.
If we spend the money, given the recent history, it will avoid falling in the USA. The commitment is to the Allies not just the USA.

JD Vance thinks tariffs the USA has against Canada have no effect on Canada, despite the fact Trump said he was tariffing Canada to bankrupt Canada.
No we thank your unfortunate admin. Personally.

There were talks? We're just bracing for impact of the USA hammering it's own economy with it's policies. We have no control over what the US admin does.

Going to buy gifts for Christmas soon but concentrating heavily on "old-stock Canadian" products and services. Going to try and get Made in Canada products as much as possible.
Some things I can't get from 🇨🇦 I will get from 🇪🇺 and 🇲🇽
Going to get skincare from "The Ordinary." company as 🎁.

Sad Iran and it's proxies are still killing people globally, often for seemingly no reason. The change in laws recently might help CSIS.
Russia and Iran are simply not allies to our alliance. They are hostile and pose a risk to individuals and democracies.

Behind simple truths are complex tasks of unwinding spools made of painful energy transformation over time.
No important information that matters is free. It is all hidden behind the "simple" veil.
Stay curious.

AI is ramping up it's robot usage. Things could get weird.
Agility says it's making AI bots that will coexist in the same space as people shortly. It will simply power down until people pass and then continue on doing it's work.

You know, normally I'm concerned with Canadians and how many are struggling, while I complain about things closer to home...
...but with the USA government shutdown I find myself concerned also for people down south.

It's time to start recognizing what money is. I don't mean studying charts and graphs or even looking at currencies and exchanges.
Money is simple. It is the world's most complex I.O.U. system, spanning generations and traversing the globe.
Be careful who you pull in your I.O.U.s from.

The reason so much direct intervention for these refugees is needed stems from the security, poverty, government of Syria. The individuals usually arrive traumatized and often still without any supports, money or even skills applicable to Canada. Thanks Canada!

I am of the unpopular oppinion: If direct observation is available, it is advisable to pursue this, rather than relying on 3rd person accounts and media.
I know. I'm sorry. I'm old-school.

Old-stock Canadians told me they are going directly to help out the recent large group of Syrian refugees in Canada with direct donation and support. Mobilizing for a cause.
The copilot AI said the food bank serves 80% new immigrants so there is a huge opportunity to volunteer there.
