Wildfires crash the economy. Capitalists should embrace renewable energy if they really care about the economy. But capitalists are morons and are doubling down on wild fires in every capitalist nation on earth.

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.
Line chart titled "The pace of job growth in Canada has outpaced job growth in the United States" showing cumulative percent change in employment since December 2024 for Canada and the United States. Canada's employment has grown 1.34% while US employment has increased just 0.34%, meaning Canadian job growth has outpaced the United States by nearly four to one. Canada's employment growth accelerated sharply from 0.98% in June 2026 to 1.34% in July 2026, the highest rate in the period shown, while US employment growth has remained relatively stable between 0.3% and 0.36% from April through July 2026.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Phang: Judge Sullivan found, in both fact and law, that the acting attorney general conceded he violated the law—a law that is intended to bring sunlight and transparency to one of the worst crimes, indeed multiple crimes committed by multiple perpetrators, in American history.

When separatist claims go unchallenged, is that journalism — or platforming? If bold assertions about Ottawa and oil & gas aren’t fact-checked in real time, it shapes the narrative. Are we seeing a broader media failure in how Alberta separatism is covered? #abpoli #cdnpoli #Alberta #Media
