FA ‘24 FO ‘25

O’ Canada, most of us appreciate you 🇨🇦🫡. I recently was watching the piece on how Canada was creating quotas to recruit skilled Americans using incentives. Brilliant.

Oops. The end😉

Flock implemented filters for searches containing terms like "abortion," "immigration," or "ICE".

My guess is not all will stay on hiatus with this admin. The irony of MAGA voting for him the first time thinking chips were being implanted w/ vaccines is simply laughable now 😔

Types of info being shared:

All making our data a top commodity. Not hearing much news re audits revealing #Flock Safety (license plate reader company) on how they shared data with federal agencies without proper authorization or communication. They now report they’ve halted these programs & claim

It’s a grin & bear it situation here while we take the hits to move past it. Most of those landing on the wrong side of history in this one will eventually have to pay the piper. Politically via our legal system, the ICC via UN & its Security Council, in history books. Everything has a price tag.

Unfortunately, we’re stuck w/ a megalomaniac that cares for nothing more than the Almighty Dollar at any cost. His 1st term he at least acted like the bills were his. This term he’s not even trying to pretend like he’s steering the ship. As long as he gets what he wants, he’ll sign anything.

MAGA wants the caste system back where everyone knows their place. Their fixation to return to the gilded age as a model is mind blowing & ignorant AF.

Before masks were even off my house equity increased over 360%, vet costs had doubled (their meds 😬). I had two geriatric dogs at the time so was there a lot (same vet new owner/computers/POS) & never saw anyone leave for less than $300 for basic care & noticed every dog like mine were on renal meds

is a major player in the market, while firms like KKR, Shore Capital Partners, and Harvest Partners are also significantly investing in the sector.

Post pandemic they have priced out the ability to access animal care even for the basic things such as effective flea/ tick medicine.

The largest single owner of veterinary clinics & animal care businesses in the U.S. is Mars Veterinary Health, a family-owned corporation, not a private equity firm. Among private equity firms, JAB Holding Company, through its investment in National Veterinary Associates (NVA),

Private equity has been out of control in the U.S. since of pandemic. They alone is responsible for the housing & rent increases going through the roof as well as vet care during the pandemic. They preyed on struggling business/citizens to fleece them for pennies on the dollar only to ⬆️ prices.

Most fall under one umbrella, privatize most gov programs to not only enrich the top 10% but lessen the ability to have any meaningful oversight. Private companies have little restrictions & many who violate it get passes for PAC $. Evangelical Christians have been ramping up to take education.

His comment doesn’t even compare to her book passage as part of a hypothetical list of her 1st-day actions if she were to become president in 2025.
She wrote her 1st action would be to make sure "Joe Biden's dog was nowhere on the grounds" then added the line, "Commander, say hello to Cricket".

Got your back on all three profiles which I recommend to others‼️

Tariffs, ACA, changing eligibility for every benefit available (the rants on TikTok & YT are through the roof) & veterans… you’re not exempt. Changes to your healthcare, VA pension changes (your ratings will be changing) etc…
They’re not happy simply forcing LGBTQ+

Fast-tracked schedule: The Supreme Court agreed to fast-track the case re tariffs. Oral arguments scheduled for the first week of November ‘25. This could lead to a decision by the end of the year & result in the U.S. repaying half of what’s been collected & lead U.S. to bankruptcy.

Dear Department of Homeland Security:

I gave this request almost a full second's worth of consideration, and my answer is an unequivocal no. I would have answered sooner, but I was laughing.

A quick reference for trolls:
45 & 47, the 🤡 admin, underwhelmed in deportations compared to Obama & Biden for WAY less of a price tag & w/ out raiding schools/businesses & w/out dehumanizing real live people. To date so many MAGA still believe in the 🤡’s lies. tracreports.org/reports/756/

Things I’m NOT hearing them say to assure me their facts are science based:

The increased rate of autism diagnoses in the U.S. is primarily due to broader diagnostic criteria, improved screening practices, and greater public & professional awareness, rather than a true change in prevalence.

Which states have the shortest liver transplant waiting list? Waiting times for liver transplants depend on a person's age, location, and overall health. Learn about states with the shortest liver transplant waiting list.

Not surprising yet oddly interesting article I discovered researching something else. Would it shock anyone that FL may have the shortest waiting list for liver transplants as they have the highest transplant rates from deceased donors. Next comes MS, NC, & AZ.

Thank you! 🙏
Never give up. MAGA is counting on folks giving up from learned helplessness. “The greatest show/shill on earth” is designed to create exhaustion from your prolonged struggle in effort to make you believe that your actions can’t change the outcome. Some gave all, don’t let them down🫡
