Musings about democracy, capitalism, tequila, politics, education, markets, equality, cannabis, music & Back to the Future. Broken systems can be fixed.

🧵The definition of community has changed.

Without technology we’re floating in nothingness but we’re in too deep to break the death spiral. Our civilization is lost & asleep.

Most of me knows that things will get worse.

Most of me has lived a life filled with death anxiety.

@UCPCaucus UCP with the vibes

[TequilaHigh @high_tequila]

@KerryDiotte @Edmontonsun Credibility? Lol. It is true though - she does have the momentum. So the irony I find fun is that a paid ad (which you find objectionable) is likely the only objective truth contained in the entire thing.

When @Alberta_UCP comes knocking on your door, you NEED to do 2 things

1. BE POLITE: they’re volunteers!

2. SHOW THEM THIS LIST: 426 UCP horrible and costly decisions.

Then ask them one question: How can the UCP be trusted?

Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond says if the top 1% of Americans paid the taxes they owed, it would raise $175 billion each year.

"That is just about enough to pull everyone out of poverty," the author says. https://t.co/YU9SfgcKdi

My kind, idealistic & impatient trainees, students & research staff have asked me many times

“How can we make REAL change for #socialjustice in #publichealth & #medicine?”

I’m not sure but this is what I’ve come up w so far:

1/4

@BrentColman @JasonOnTheDrums Lol. That’s damn close. Bombay and Deca are the staples. Wife likes Smirnoff Cherry and Tito’s - I don’t care for either much but I’ll chuck them back the same.

[TequilaHigh @high_tequila]

@JasonOnTheDrums @BrentColman 1. 4 Copas Anejo
2. Espolon Resposado
3. Cheap gin
4. Cheap vodka
5. Lime Bubly

Danielle Smith’s camp apparently created a huge bot army to troll #AbLeg & #abpoli. Many of them post the same kind of pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, pro-convoy crap that has come to be associated with the Putin-supported extreme right. This is no longer someone else’s problem, folks.

Read this thread.

If you think this is just about OHV trails it’s not.

It’s about taking your money and giving it to others.

K-pass to OHV. Royalties to Oil companies. Health care to corporations.

Every day more of your money is given away.

[Bragg Creek-KCountry @BCKOR]

Before this announcement, it was blatant favouritism but now it feels like blatant theft.

Robbing the low impact users to pay for more OHV Trails for their friends.

[Bragg Creek-KCountry @BCKOR]

The disparity in how the gov supports the two groups, couldn’t be clearer.

Off roaders on the south side of Kananaskis, go mud bogging on expensive machines for FREE while hikers on the north side with their $150 hiking shoes have to pay $90 to walk on crown land.

East Palestine wasn't an accident.

East Palestine is the direct result of the greed of oligarchs, lobbyists hollowing out our nations, the willingness of the political establishment to be owned, and workers being treated like ignorant indentured servants.

@BrentColman Love this

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

A) real wages stagnant since your guy Reagan’s “trickle down” snake oil

B) TN is at the bottom in % of min. wage jobs, state Republicans won’t allow cities/counties to raise it even if they want to — while attacking unions every chance they get

Y’all don’t care about workers

@BrentColman @JasonOnTheDrums Certainly not an expert, but I did major in human geography and spent a brief stint working for a private planning consultancy. Only took 6 months to see it was all greed/power driven bs with zero appetite for actually improving communities. Zero. Same old same old 😒
