More good reasons why Canada needs to ditch Starlink. Really, all Musk-linked business should be banned here, because he clearly wields them like weapons for his own geopolitical ends. A one man rogue-state.

Carney wants Canada to move away from Elon Musk’s Starlink. Can it? | Hanomansing Tonight

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will ‘diversify away’ from Elon Musk’s Starlink as it looks to reduce its reliance on U.S. technology. But with Canadian alternative Telesat Lightspeed still yea...

A lot of rich guys want you to think that the bar on the right is always going to be bigger than the bar on the left.

Vertical bar chart titled "Norwegian wealth tax revenue, change from 2021 to 2024," in billions of Norwegian kroner (BNOK), nominal. Subtitle: top rate 0.85% to 1.1% and stock valuation discount cut from 2022.

Two bars. "Growth with no emigration": 13.71 BNOK, a tall bar. "Lost to reform-driven emigration": 0.65 BNOK, a barely visible stub, about one-twenty-first the height.

Notes: Growth includes the rate and valuation changes and wealth growth. Net of tax that emigrants still paid, the reform-driven loss is 0.49 BNOK.

Additionally, it's an attempt to usurp the power to judge the qualifications of members of the House, which the Constitution vests solely in the House itself. And there's no reason to assume she will be the last member of Congress he goes after like this. It's a direct attack on the legislature.

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.

This is the reason there's probably no returning to the international standing the US had pre-Trump. It's woken up Americas traditional friends & allies to what Americans themselves are actually like - and they've been shocked. They now know they can't trust the US electorate.

Reminder to those who can't seem to grasp distinction between median and average. US average income in 2024 was $76,000. US median income was $44,000. The difference is vast inequality. And $44,000 is not a good living.
