Fluffy meowed and meowed, but didn't get to eat. So, Fluffy scratched and clawed, and got turned into meat.

cooperatively owned

This usually means employee, or sometimes, customer owned. You described fair taxation and UBI/freedom dividends instead.

What needs to be nationalized with 99% shareholder dillution and zero compensation in the US is oil, weapons companies on the basis of their warmongering lobbying, and other zionist first rule over America media and political funding terrorists.

UBI is first and foremost power redistribution. The wealthy stay wealthy, and through economic growth and faster money multiplier, get even richer even at higher tax rates.

Fewer tourists from other nations would be a contributing factor. ICE in general may be more. Perhaps economy isn't as great as our Fuhrer wants us to think.

So much more spending could be on Canadians. Even job subsidies for Canadian industries.

We need to seriously question NATO membership. NATO is a US force expansion organization under US colonial control. Even if you believe the absurdity of it being a defensive alliance, Canada should understand the obvious that the only military threat to it comes from the US, and the other NATO colonies will not intervene to protect Canada.

Not only with NATO/US always lie to us that Russian interventions are unprovoked aggression, even if Russia were militarist aggressive, our commitment to defend Europe is extremely assymetric (they will never defend us from US. We won't defend Greenland from US either). If the US tells EU to help it destroy/isolate Canada economically, it will. Including buying all of its resources from the US.

At political level, Europe and Canada's values are only to gaslight their people in colonial subservience to CIA/US empire agenda. Canada desperately needs to stop trying to be the best puppy in the pen, hoping that tying a cherry stem with their tongue gets master's approval, and make whatever US/NATO subservient acts dependent on trade deals.

It's blatantly absurd to expect reward for subjugation (stealing social/economic funds) of Canadians, especially when more than 1 penny will be spent on purchases from despotic militarist nation with declared intention to destroy us. Pretending that DNC will say "Look how much Canada still loves us by buying all of our weapons. Let's be nicer to them instead of beating them harder"

Aggressively decouple from US to force US to be nicer to us is ONLY path forward. That does not mean begging EU to choose us over the US, because they won't.

Veruca Salt, in Volcano Girls, they reference Seether.

All models and actresses should be over 30. Because if you are made to find a 29 year old attractive through exposure, then that is a gateway to 28 year old objectification perversions. We can examine barely legal 31 year olds after fixing the "young near porn" epidemic.

A lot of layoffs are not yet in the "monthly" job numbers, because somehow severance means you are still counted as employed.

Environmental Protection Agency moved to repeal the Obama-era “endangerment finding,” a declaration that because carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases (like methane) endanger public health and welfare, the government is justified in using the Clean Air Act to regulate them.

GHGs are not "pollutants". GHG warming does create earlier springs (melt season) and drier forests from which fires can spread wider, and pollutants drifting where people live. The clean air act was still the wrong framework to try to extend to GHGs because it applies to pollutants, and assholes would reverse it.

The Carolinas have specifically had higher sea level rise than elsewhere in US, because recent history has much warmer than historical coastal waters. Ocean levels overall so far have been dominated by sea temperature increase rather than polar land melting. No Buoy data reported either by DOE or this article.

I don't oppose this reasearch. Cloud seeding, or unexplained cloud brightening, is the safest of all geoengineering methods. and there is a theory that less sulfur in shipping fuel and diesel is causing fewer clouds. A world with 1%-5% more clouds will be cooler.

Seeding clouds in middle of ocean is a more prudent location than dealing with complaints. This should be more about testing machine capacity, cloud longevity, and functionality in open ocean waves rather than affect coastal communities for now.

defcon 3 over Medvedev trolling would make top unhinged event so far.

Firing BLS head over jobs report he doesn't like is even more Hitler loyalty level demands, and I think tops unhinged level over provoking pre-emptive nuclear strikes.

Likely progression is simply that food gets expensive, and is grown indoors. Technology doesn't need to fall, though when slaves are not needed, soylent green is a "utilitarian" use for them under rules based world order. Food capacity and population that can afford to buy it will match. Fewer people does mean fewer iphones, and more expensive at lower scale.

Global warming, even at 5C, is more about increased misery and oppression, rather than mass deaths over a decade. Wikipedia will survive. The AI tech giants chatbots will explain why you need to die or be miserable until you die.
