@GaryMarcus People who have started a business or are otherwise responsible for commercializing disruptive technologies know that Elon is a genius.

People who have never been responsible for commercializing disruptive technologies do not.

@Rothbard1776 Supply and demand for oil set price, which is a global market. U.S. oil companies are private, and will sell at the highest price and change production schedules based on the price.

@NickPEDM @RealPeterLinder I am up >1,500% on TNZ and >115% on VLE as of today, and I am holding. For TNZ in particular, analyst targets of $60 per share are based on $20 TTF. TNZ is 45% hedged, and directly benefits from higher TTF prices. Damage to Qatari assets will keep TTF high, and TNZ is undervalued

@A51Guyy @kimincanada @vitaliyk @grok was the digital services tax part of a multilateral instrument, and if yes, what countries were signatories? In addition, what taxes could Canada impose on these companies generating billions of revenue in Canada without the tax, assuming no permanent establishment?

@SonofManwithus It should scale with age as a proxy for value being contributed to society. If 16 is allowed as min age - 16-24, one vote, 25-35, two votes, 36-45, three votes, 46-60, four votes, and 60+, one vote. Need the tax paying, private sector, value contributing folks in charge.

@CTVCalgary The evidence suggests that flouride in water is only beneficial for children that do not/can not brush their teeth, as the flouride in toothpaste is significantly more beneficial. Why not spend the $28m (or a fraction of that) on ensuring these children can brush their teeth?

@Browndalorian Ignoring the contract, it is frustrating because he has all of the physical tools to be a great D-man. Skating, strength, size, hands etc. But he can't make a breakout pass. Misses the forward for icing, or banks it off boards and gets trapped in own end over and over.

@MattHarmon_BYB Thank you! Will pull the trigger.

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@MattHarmon_BYB Really appreciate your work (and your opinion) btw! Truly the best, esp for WRs.

@MattHarmon_BYB Off topic Q - Would you trade Brian Thomas Jr. for Devonta Smith in dynasty, straight up?

@robfoot The obvious and simple reason is to import votes.

@theJagmeetSingh Mr. Poilievre gave $60B to CEOs, who can only be natural individuals? Please show direct evidence, or this looks like another obvious and blatant lie from the extreme left, seeking to create division. Embarrassing.

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@andrew_leach Well, $22B+ can certainly make a difference in project economics, especially spread out to increase relative IRRs. I’d confidently say more of a diff tipping projects in CH/IN than a rebate in CAN. But that puts climate change > votes. Too bad.

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@RodKahx Hypocrisy - you mean JT the climate crisis hero who flies around on jets and has a massive carbon footprint only to make a mockery of Canada on the global stage? No bigger hypocrite on the planet than JT and frankly his double digit IQ followers. Complete joke.

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@RodKahx Yep - that’s just you because you can’t comprehend the connection between the massive public sector JT and JS have built and the rising taxes and cost of living to pay for it… unless you are a deadweight public sector loss, yourself? And a butler makes a dent in the deficit. Lol

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@andrew_leach Ya fair enough - would be better if there was a global accord where more countries contributed on that basis... just seems like a global issue that requires a global solution - and lots of countries achieved a high standard of living from cheap energy, so should chip in.

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@andrew_leach I see your point, but it seems more justifiable to link carbon tax imposed in Canada directly to reducing global emissions. Just seems like it provides more bang for your buck, and helps address a lot of arguments re: CAN being 1.5% of global emissions. But just IMO.

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@andrew_leach Why cap? I am not suggesting a cap, I am suggesting we take the money from the carbon tax, and use it to subsidize cleaner tech to accelerate change... no cap, so the LNG producers shouldnt be directly impacted. Nuclear could be another option.

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@andrew_leach That's great, but I think it misses the point. I am saying why not assist/subsidize/accelerate the progress? C02 emissions are a global negative externality - subsidizing the transition should help, no? Plus we already collect the carbon tax - why not use it instead of rebates?

[B William @Holdielocks86]

@andrew_leach I mean assisting/subsidizing them in replacing coal w/ cleaner sources of energy in both China and India...
