If tax cuts give you $100 back in your wallet yet it gives the rich, $10,000 back in theirs, you are not $100 richer. Money is relative to wealth. When we give handouts or tax breaks and most of it goes to the rich YOU. GET. POORER. Tax the rich, don't just cut carbon taxes.

Childcare, Mental Health and the Ontario Economy

https://goo.gl/bvtqqw

I had an interesting chat last night with a friend who works with LGBTQ refugees (women in particular) from the Middle East and also in the mental health area. What she told me was that there are countless mental health issues for women at the lower end of the economic scale in Ontario with respect to the absence of significant childcare: the stress in families is monumental, she says, for the entire family, but particularly women. This is something one does not hear too much about, but it's not hard to imagine. And so she, like so many of us, would welcome a substantial child care program, the benefits of which would not only be more stable productive families contributing to the economy but also better mental health for those feeling the pressure - in particular women.  Since so much of the mental health strain is at the bottom of the economic scale, she obviously also welcomes the minimum wage. As we know, women in particular have been exploited far more than men by both large corporations and small business with respect to wages.

So bottom line: childcare support plus minimum wage = increased productive working families contributing to the Ontario economy plus much improved mental health for families plus specific help for women who want to work.

Weekend Eve Opening Bell - April 27th, 2017

Adventure Time. 

Happy Weekend Eve. 

@AlderLaneeggs @Mr_Silbergleit It's official. $HCG has gone from subprime lender to subprime borrower ;)

— Matt Robitaille (@TaureauResearch) April 26, 2017

There is a legendary American short seller named Marc Cohodes and I have fallen in love with him. (bloomberg video). 

I only have $311 against HCG because all my money is against Genworth. This is truly Le Littlest Short. 

Home Capital Group was a private mortgage lender that was providing loans without verifying proof of income while lying to investors and regulators which should trigger 1000 yard stares from Americans who owned homes in 2007. There are no adults, just an orgy of incestious political and coporate greed. The beginning of the bubble bursting took so fucking long most of friends now own homes. Why does this keep happening? I would guess record low interest rates and the modern rarity of pensions people are going to keep betting more than they have on real estate trying to fund a retirement. The three countries I know the most about Ireland, America and now Canada all had similar real estate collapses within a decade of each other. All three countries bailed out the cunts who cheated for money the most, I have little faith Canada will be different. It’s enough to make a Bernie Bro out of you. 

Gramsci is a good Italian.

Brazil is on strike which I assume it some sort of drunken samba of very sexy people who have been kept desperately poor. 

The real tragedy of the commons is public investment turned into privatized monopolies. Support Net Neutrality, this is not a right or left issue, we all hate comcast. Unless you want Trent Dilfer to keep making those ESPN monies support market innovation and competition. On the left, fuck those bastards we fucking payed for that network to be built who the fuck are these cunts trying to steal that shit and control the sites we visit? On the right do you really want the government forcing godless liberal Hollywood down your throats by destroying access to whatever stupid hick ass shit you dumb fucks watch?  

The next time a GOP voter complains about the deficit laugh in their cretinous face. 

Popular and policy inspiring peer reviewed nutritional science was made the fuck up. Science isn’t something you believe in you cunts, it is something you test and verify. Fucking lying ass nerds. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BULLYING.

Christian slags lost the culture war or some shit, dunno I didn’t read it because Pence is even odds to become the President and that slag is so religious he calls the woman he is fucking “Mother.”  

Some kind of worms eat plastic faster than fungi WHOOP TE FUCKING DOO WE ARE ALL GOING TO DROWN YOU FUCKING NERDS. 

These media bubbles don’t buy enough of our merch. 

This is an interesting article about how online shopping will charge you any damn price based on your IP address/profile. 

Breitbart is getting less money. 

Pumped to be horrified by The Handmaid’s Tail in a different medium. 

Foster kids can’t graduate from college though in fairness that sample group was pulled from the discard pile.

Welcome to our Grand Re-Re-Opening

Welcome to our Grand Re-Re-Opening, my thoughts on reopening our economy, or how to perform the greatest tight walk performance in history. #covid19 #cdnecon #cdnpoli #onpoli

Screenshot from Bob’s Burgers

After three months of social distancing, we are itching to change our routines. We’re worried about our collective economic livelihoods. We’re worried about our collective mental health. We need to put purpose back into our lives again.

This is why I’m not entirely surprised that the talk of the town is on reopening our economy. It’s a conversation that has to…

Congratulations Canadians, you've made it half-way through the year. This means if you're working, you've earned half of what Canadian CEOs have earned in the first 45 minutes of work on January 3rd, 2023!

If you don't like it, I dunno, maybe just work as hard as 243 people. Apparently CEOs do, as goes the logic of bootlickers!

#PuppyBeerHour Volume Today America Spent $300,000,000 To Help Recruit New Terrorists

Big news day, Trump is playing with the world’s most expensive toys, Canada is tabling legislation to legalize weed and I made it just 10 days into taking a month off drinking. Also I took out a put option against Home Capital Group, those cunts have until December 15th to drop lower than 15 dollars which is a goddamn lock. After work I am going to the cheapest dive bar in the city Wide Open to get smashed as this could be the end times. 

Welcome to the weekend.
