The billionaires need to be taxed at 99%. Our current form of capitalism has turned into feudalism.

People need to understand the actual dynamic. Trump is doing whatever he can get away with to help Putin. This includes buying Russian diesel or working with Musk to turn off Starlink for Ukrainian military activities.

This is so on 🎯. AI (as it’s being used by the majority of people) is taking away the development of their minds. It’s become their substitute synthetic mind, while their own mind atrophies. It’s an addictive electronic drug of the highest potency.

Ivanka has many financial ties to China. This is an opportunity to strengthen them. In other words: the grift continues.

I think the percentage of voters who vote from emotions rather than rational thought and reasoning is far higher than that— maybe more like 60-70%. They will go back to core values and emotional hot-button issues like reproductive rights, etc.

Approximately 33% of voters are no longer able to rationally come to any conclusions. They vote from pure emotionally programming pounded into their brains from non-stop media propaganda.

For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new comprehensive trade deal. We have been pragmatic, patient, and persistent. Our goal has always been to get the best deal for Canadians, never a deal at any price or on any time frame.

So it kind of comes down to how rapidly the El Niño intensifies, how intense it actually becomes and how quickly that heat transfers from ocean surface to troposphere?

Thanks to the rapidly developing major El Niño event, global surface air and sea surface temperatures are approaching new record values. Typically it is the year following the event that yields new global temperature record, but it's possible we could see this year.
