In a nuclear exchange, if the fire trucks are destroyed within urban population centers, there will be no staff or equipment to fight fires.

Tom taught us in his course at the Harvard extension school that with any advanced warning they would be moved.

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.

Peter Mansbridge asked him that this (?) week. And Mansbridge offered ZERO pushback when Slogan Boy spit out his stale excuses that have been described as ridiculous/nonsensical by security experts.

Malignant narcissists experience increased paranoia, denial, and rage as death nears. They often externalize these experiences through destruction and abuse of others in an effort to maintain a sense of control.

I suspect all of these wars are in part related to Trump’s awareness of his mortality.

Trump’s Iran War is not going to be ending anytime soon. And calling for a country to surrender unconditionally means it is unarguably a war that requires a declaration of war.

Once Doug builds the private spa no one asked for, I’m sure people will be keen to book conventions at the new convention centre no one asked for.

How Canada would survive without a U.S. trade deal If the trade agreement is cancelled, Canada will survive, but it will be costly. And even then, the U.S. will very likely remain our largest trading partner.

This oped is asking the right question, and provides a solid analysis. I’d add that the picture it paints of the consequences of continued uncertainty in Canada-US trade relations will hold even if the USMCA is renegotiated. Because the source of that uncertainty is structural.

Yeah, cool, so a short 🧡 about Halifax's finances.

Right now, after 14 or so year of taxes Halifax is at the precipice of a debt crisis which has the genuine potential to be destabilizing to our government. Most likely reforms instead of revolution but destabilizing none the less.

Why now?

Well, no one who works on computer all day and/or phone for sure. And as we become more digitized, coming into the office is more irrelevant by the day. Forcing everyone back is all so stupid. Our leaders are too old.

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.
