Just because I follow you, does not mean I want a relationship. It means I think your post was interesting, intelligent or thought provoking. ANY DM will see you muted and blocked. You will be gone in 60 seconds.

ELECTION FRAUD! The Republicans won far too many seats in the House. All 168 of those GOP seats need a full judicial recount and any that used voting machines need to be investigated for tampering.

I know I wrote a post like this recently, but I feel like I am going to explode if I hear another Republican misuse the word "socialism." For my Republican friends out there, let me explain what socialism actually means. Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are socially or publicly owned, including through state ownership. Universal healthcare is not socialism. Social welfare programs designed to prevent homelessness and poverty are not socialism. Free public education is not socialism. In fact, it is entirely possible to have a highly capitalist economy alongside an extensive social welfare system. Even Milton Friedman, one of the most influential advocates of free-market capitalism, supported a negative income tax to provide a basic income floor for the poor. So please stop with the BS accusations of socialism every time someone proposes a social welfare program. Ironically, some of the most conspicuous examples of state intervention in private enterprise in contemporary America come from the Trump administration itself. Its increasingly dirigiste economic policies include acquiring ownership stakes in private companies, asserting government control over corporate decisions, and imposing economically damaging tariffs on American businesses and consumers. If you are genuinely concerned about government interference in free markets, perhaps you should start there.

Why are kids ( adults under 40) afraid to answer their phones? When I calll, I get rebuked for not texting first to warn them that I would be calling. I don't call from a cell phone - most of the time I don't even know where my cell phone is, and if I did know it is probably off.

Based on the number of negative posts on Twitter, I think there may be something wrong with me. I love my job and the company for whom I work. I am scheduled to work 40 hrs/week but I also continue my duties most of Saturday and half days on Sunday. ... / 2

.../2 I have 3 – 4 years of work lined up, so I am not worried about running out of things to do daily before I retire by the end of 2028. I planned for this in my 20's. Get a degree in what interests me and find work to fit my passion. .../3

.../3 Benefits of 10 weeks PTO annually negotiated in lieu of higher pay along with a generous pension plan. It did not happen overnight, and I never complained about the journey as I had the support of my Bride (currently over 51years married). Am I wrong to be happy?

BRYAN ADAMS RELEASES NEW SONG called (Lake Ontario), denouncing LAKE ONTARIO name change! I’ve always loved his music now I like him even more! Retweet if you stand with Bryan: he said "all the sane people on both shores know that the current madness will pass, and that Lake Ontario will always be Lake Ontario." 🇨🇦 (Photo Credit: "20130710-ByanAdamsLucca-0019" by Campa, used under CC BY 2.0 / Cropped from original)

"The big trade war [Trump] starting now is with that well-known evil empire: Canada. These are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short.… They're the nicest people. They're our friendly neighbours to the north, and he's picking a fight with them?" ~Barack Obama

IN BC 🇨🇦, if you are driving outside the Greater Vancouver or Greater Victoria area, you need snow tires. Trucks need to carry (and use) tire chains. If you refuse, you could forfeit your vehicle until April. Is this the same where you live?

No funds should be allocated to provinces in Canada that express intentions to separate from the country. Let's ensuring that taxpayer money is used responsibly and for causes that unite, rather than divide, our nation. c.org/4YrgjLbDFM

If ANYONE thinks the BC election is about the performance of the NDP: YOU ARE WRONG❗️❗️❗️❗️ The Cons ARE far right wing nuts, who once elected will decimate this province. Within 12-24 months (or sooner) you will see separatists, just like AB. This IS another MAGA Op!

. @MarkJCarney will be the first one to admit he is not perfect (who is?) but I sleep confidently that Canada is in better hands than any other federal politician of any stripe anywhere in Canada in 2026. Keep up the good work, Sir.
Do you sleep better at night knowing @MarkJCarney is the Leader of Canada? I do 💯✋❤️
