Mamdani is such a pussy for only freezing the rent. Why not $0 rent? Why not negative rent? Landlords should have to pay YOU to live in their apartments. These are the kind of big ideas we Democratic Socialists of America need.

Still can’t believe people fell for this.

Keir Starmer would rather see his country in shambles than quit being in power. You don‘t know what kind of political animal he truly is.

I think I fell for Russian propaganda.

Let me explain…

Fascinating argument by Bloomberg's top energy analyst Javier Blas 👇: he argues that China effectively saved the world economy during the Iran war by absorbing the brunt of the global oil supply shock on its own, without visible economic damage.

According to his calculations, China "cut its average daily waterborne oil imports by the same amount as the combined oil consumption of Germany, France and the UK."

And, still according to Blas, they "did so without suffering economic harm" because they could rely on many levers: their huge strategic petroleum reserve, a massive surge in EV usage, their remaining coal-fired electricity capacity, and coal-to-chemicals replacing lost feedstocks.

Had China not been ready to absorb that blow, a good argument can be made that the economic damage to the West, and the world at large, would have spiraled far beyond what we saw.

Effectively, China's energy strategy at all levels (petroleum reserves, EVs, etc.) and its ability to withstand huge supply shocks paid off for everyone, not just for them.

It sounds awfully familiar: in 2008 too it was China's stimulus package and continuous buying of US Treasuries that averted a complete breakdown of the global financial system.

So twice in 20 years the country the West loves to present as a "threat" to the global economy effectively saved it from a US-made global economic disaster 🤷

Wow this makes it so clear how big of an idiot he is, and how little any internet commentator needs to understand about a given topic to opine strongly.

A Canadian court ruled that part of Vancouver still belonged to the Squamish.

The Canadian government settled with the tribe by giving them 10 acres that used to belong to a branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The Squamish are now building high-rises in their village, which is called Senakw, putting the rest of the city to shame.

Vancouver is mostly single family housing. The new buildings tower over their neighbors. A Vancouver city councilman complains that the high-rises don't reflect “an Indigenous way of building.” But there's nothing they can do.

Not the biggest indigenous rights advocate, but we need to give the Indians everything if this is what they'll do with the land.

If you denominate US GDP in gold instead of dollars, the chart is wild.

Reminder: Ellen Page railed against former VP Pence for believing in gay conversation therapy but shortly after she went through conversion therapy & surgeries, believing she is a heterosexual man. She & the liberal media promote that conversion therapy.

Orgasm for Liberals when they hear this

Carney: Canada is a mosaic, not a melting pot. And this is the distinction that matters. Because a mosaic doesn't dissolve or blend its pieces. Each is stitched to each and all the pieces hold all. And the beauty is in the arrangement, not in the blending.

The comparison here is Obama did write THREE BOOKS but they were ALL ABOUT HIMSELF.

Obama was and is a callow, incurious narcissist.

Carney: If you look at the speech, I've never advocated that all of a sudden there was going to be a band of middle powers, you know, the M20 or something like that.
