Best news of the day so far. π
His intentions are deep rooted in greed. He needs an ongoing war to postpone elections. Something overseasβ¦preferably with a few other countries involved. Distract, distract, distract.
They have won the gold medal in hockey but we won the gold in best country. π¨π¦ #canadiantothecore #canada
You mean like in CANADA? π
They want you to stay home. They want you to be scared. They want you stay out of WHAT IS GOING ON.
Stay awake.
Be ready.

It may look like a mountainβ¦
But that mountain is made up of you and me, all of us, carrying the weight of billionaires who ride on the top.
We can destroy that mountain.
Simply walk away.
No more Amazon
No more Meta
No moreβ¦
Well I think you have the list.
Walk away.
Do it for us.
These words demand attention.
βIn a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurledβ¦ I think weβre at a defining moment for our countryβ¦β ~ Rev Warnock
Take a moment, so much moreβ¦
Iβd say thatβs pretty bang on.
Itβs shocking what people will believe and do. The more absurd the story the more likely they are to spread it. Where is common sense? For that matter, common decency and common courtesy? Not common anymore. Internet algorithms are un-educating people. With AI it will likely become worse. π
Youβd think. π

It is about our principles, Mary. Absolutely. Each decision, large and small. Itβs how we get through this. Itβs how we overcome.
Thank you very much for the tip! And not an asshat sounds positive π
Trust me I have. Within hours Iβve lined up new money managers.
We are wiser now. Itβs important that we make all of our choices, no matter how trivial, reflective of our core beliefs and values. As Iβve said in these threads, itβs all about trust. And I cannot trust anyone who believes in or backs Trump.
π¨π¦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:
"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."
"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (π§΅1/6)
Yes. This. Just feeling like: I canβt have trust with you anymore. And itβs not a little feeling. Weβve seen the worst of this kind of leaning. How close to that needle are they? It changes everything.
Iβve already got appointments with two new advisors. π And the best part is I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.
I think thereβs a lot to be said for peace of mind. Iβm not so savvy that I can look at my portfolio and grasp what Iβm backing. But if I already know what his (lack of) values are, surely we would not always align. I have to move to a new advisor. Or Iβll not sleep well again.
Couldnβt be more proud or grateful that we have this man at the helm. π¨π¦
That makes two of us. π
Youβre absolutely right. The surrender of both parties within your government and their continued allegiance to Trump, other than a few (unfortunately far too ineffectual) voices, is baffling and terrifying. Itβs the worst possible outcome playing out in real time.
As soon as his office opensβ¦. π
Agreed. I know the right path (which is the left path). I am moving my investments.

Right?! Iβve lost friends over this and not looked back. But my money guy? Thing is, heβs funding (or Iβm funding) the machine that thrives in βhis evil empireβ. I wanted to dump him instantly but I hesitated. Iβm retired. Iβm fixed income. I had to think. I know what I have to do.
Exactly. Feels like Iβm betting on Trumps success. Itβs disgusting to me.
It hits hard when you think you βknow someoneβ. This doesnβt feel like a difference of opinionβ¦itβs so much bigger than that.
