So will the Canadian Nick Shirley please stand up?

[Michael A. Jones 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇰🇷 @sevenethics]

I asked @grok the following question: if there were a Canadian version of Nick Shirley, what areas of government would prove most fruitful for him to investigate & discover instances of funding & financial mismanagement?

here was the answer👇

[Michael A. Jones 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇰🇷 @sevenethics]

- Federal Procurement & Contracting (e.g., ArriveCAN app, Phoenix pay system scandals)
- Grant Programs & Non-Profits (e.g., WE Charity controversy)
- CRA Operations (benefit fraud & overpayments)
- Political Fundraising & Ethics Issues

3👇

If only politicians on both sides would spend energy rooting out answers to the provocative questions they ask rather than raising them to sway opinion & cause division.

Sarcasm is a victims tool. Whereas Irony indicates an elevated sensibility.

A citizenry absorbs the malaise & malfeasance of its leaders. A leader’s action, inaction, iniquity & cowardice becomes that of the citizen. When leaders behave without the values that make a mythology, citizens suffer a lack of vision; hopelessness takes hold.

Government efforts at protecting the vulnerable effectively treat someone’s right to defecate in the streets with greater regard than my right to be offended by it.” Enough! https://t.co/po935z4BGK

Like gravity & atmosphere, difficulty is a fundamental aspect of life on earth. Unlike gravity & atmosphere, the difficulty of life is the only one we vehemently resist.

Raging against gravity would be foolish; imagine victimizing ourselves because our feet won’t leave earth.

Human growth isn’t the absence of imperfection, but the integration and acceptance of it. Perfection often walks with a limp.

Accepting reality will set you free. But know that before it does it will make crazy!

Choosing pain first in order to enhance the pleasure of life is a mastery technique. The well known idea of eating a toad before enjoying the cake sums this up nicely.

It is in meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning.

Embrace discomfort. Growth happens when we accept reality, stop running from difficulty, and resist not the storms raging within and without.

Talk about bloat! Bloated is not a condition for productivity.

In 2014 Tether was founded solving the banking issue for crypto, while banks denied access.

Today it ranks 5th most profitable above Morgan & Stanley and Goldman with only 100 staff 😂.

Easily 10x more growth ahead of it.

I keep thinking that one day Generation X will rise up and be the ones that turn things around - that we’ll awake from our slumber and institute the ways of our grandparents; the one’s who knew how to lead, how to live, and understood the meaning of integrity and grit.

One cannot contain the totality of reality in linguistic propositions.
