Not Poliver's Fault

At this point, I really don't know what Poliver could do to reclaim his lead. (Yesterday, my son told me he was going to vote for Poliver.)

Poliver had it in the bag, except for two events. One was the resignation of CockSocker Boy. This is exactly what I meant when I warned people, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. And we did. A whole new face on the Liberal Party which, to the naive, means '𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚.' And the SockCucking legacy media is milking it for all it's worth. They don't want to lose their subsidies.

C𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚? Like fuock. Carney is Liberal fascism on steroids. He is going to stick his fist right up Canada's ass.

The second was Trump's incomprehensible attack on free trade. I thought that protectionism had, at least superficially, been thoroughly, and rightfully, discredited. Bastiat tore the protectionist concept to shit in the early part of the 19th century. After 150 years went by, it looked as though the world had caught up with him. I was wrong.

I don't care what anyone says. Poliver is not the guy to blame. He had no control of these changes.

I am naive. When I heard Trump say that he would bring jobs back to the USA, I thought that he meant he would strip the regulatory state to the bone. (See here. And here.) Man, how stupid of me to think that Trump was smart enough to know this stuff. I'm finally starting to dislike Trump. He's just as full of shit as the rest of them.

Fuock.

Burger Mortgages

I have never used Door Dash. I might have used Uber Eats once, about five years ago, in response to some promotion, but not since. My reasons for not using these services are the same as Matt's.

With respect to consumer laziness, here is a prediction I made years ago. Once nanotech has advanced sufficiently, consumers will be able to avail themselves of the convenience of shitting in their own pants. Then all they will need to do is to tap an app, and an army of nanobots will appear from nowhere to clean it all up. Toilet paper users will be maligned with the epithet, 'Luddite.'

Yoga, Relaxation Seen as Solution

How I learned NOT to talk to reporters over the phone.

When this guy asked me what I do for a living, I told him I was a stay-at-home dad at the time, but that I had worked as a chemical technician, and that I was currently working part-time as a cab driver. All true. He chose to go with, 'Unemployed chemical technician.' Technically true, but a smear job nonetheless.

Observe how that came out in his version, plus the fact that he bundled my story in with a bona fide wingnut.

Then when I got a call from Mathew von Dongen about my signing the 'climate emergency' declaration I refused a telephone interview. Instead, I told him to email the questions to me and that I would reply by email. This way, I would have a record of what was actually said vs. what was reported. I guess Joanna Frketich got the assignment. Her report was satisfactory.
