Farmers die of suicide at the 3rd-highest rate by vocation in Utah – behind miners and construction workers.

Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I want you to understand how unusual the moves were today. Before Trump announced a pause, there was HUGE $QQQ volume on a 460C expiring 04/17. They were bought for $0.85 and ran to as high as $31 per contract!!! This was before any news. Later in the day, it rallied 2000% in ten minutes.

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Passive Power Canada’s $2.5T Blind Spot Here’s the architecture: Strategic Retrofit — Treat infrastructure upgrades not as expense lines but as national operating system rewrites.
Passive Power
Canada’s $2.5T Blind Spot

Every home fails. Heat. Wealth. Potential.

We spend billions chasing energy supply, while ignoring the savings leaking through our walls. 
Retrofitting every home to Passive House standard isn’t an option. It’s the quietest national strategy we’ve never deployed.
90% less energy demand
40% more property value
Zero taxpayer cost
$2.5 trillion in yield-bearing infrastructure

This isn’t politics. It’s physics.
This isn’t theory. It’s cashflow.

We need a retrofit.
The capital exists. The model is built.
All that’s missing, is the will.

Canada doesn’t have an energy crisis.
It has a value crisis.

Let’s solve it from the inside out.

Physics + Economics = Power
