Being a talking head must be so exhausting.

Want a real free market?
Start by leveling the playing field.
Until then, stop selling myths as truth.

5. The free market isn’t neutral. It reflects who holds power and who writes the rules.

3. We subsidize billion-dollar industries, bail out banks, and let monopolies dominateβ€”then blame the poor for not β€œcompeting.”

2. Real markets aren’t free. They’re built on laws, power, and rulesβ€”just not always fair ones.

1. The β€œfree market” sounds like freedom. But whose freedom?
A CEO’s right to pollute or a worker’s right to clean air?

🧡 The Free Market is a Myth.
Not because it never existedβ€”
But because it’s used to excuse injustice, rig systems, and silence change.

The Dems are spineless.

The Liberals and PM Carney ran a successful campaign by standing up to the TACO President.

Keep the pressure on, draw the line, and don't take advice from the Democrats.

Posted a year ago, I wrote this during the US-led Iraq war.

Sadly, it’s as relevant today as it was over twenty years ago.

Trump to decide on US action in Israel-Iran conflict within two weeks - BBC News Trump's press secretary said the president believes there is a "substantial chance of negotiations" with Iran.

If the U.S. pushes for war, I hope Mark Carney has the backbone to say no. ChrΓ©tien stood up to Bush. Carney should do the same. We don’t need another war built on lies.

Bush lied about WMDs in Iraq. Twenty years later, they’re dusting off the same script. Different villain. Same war machine. Trillions wasted. Countless lives lost. Don’t fall for it again.

In this context, they were referring to Americans as US citizens. I imagine most educated folks know what the word American means.
