Canuck. Prefer smaller accts under 15K. Fond of 5 seasons. Championing those who aren't oligarchs. Can't be bought. Easily tricked. Avoiding primarily American political accts. I'm here for the WordPlay and DadJokes. Also pretty pictures and architecture.

While AB’s education system circles the bowl (thanks to the Premier) I get an email informing me there’s a new private school opening and they want to offer courses on how to set up a private school in AB.

THIS IS SERIOUSLY FUCKED UP

This reminds me a lot of the 'Corner Gas' filming site in Rouleau, SK after filming discontinued.

Perfection will not do it. Media demands viewers. The public is mesmerized by scandals and catastrophes. That is what the GOP delivers.

The non-drama of most Democrat years didn't sell advertising slots. During Biden's years, most people turned on the news out of habit and background noise.

Radical Radical Radical Radical Radical Radical Radical Radical

How about 'radical humanity'?
'Radical generosity'?
'Radical volunteerism'?
'Radical kindness'?

Instead what we're getting fr Trump & Republicans is 'radical capitalism' and 'radical selfishness'.

High pay required to attract "talent", "talent" incapable of negotiating a settlement, "talent" that always requires the government to make decisions for them. Some "talent" Eh! Could these "talented" executives even lead employees out of a burning building without the government showing the way?

Poorly worded I guess.
Not that the university programs picked where drs go, but that if you grew up rural/small town & College of Phys/Surg admitted them, maybe better chance of graduating docs returning rural.
Many who grew up in BigCity had no desire to go to teach in rural/small town SK.

Is College picking future docs to train fr outside larger cities? Shld be looking at students fr small town/smaller SK cities/rural areas who are content w lives that aren't BigCity.

Watch.
Instead of blaming tax cuts for the rich which has required cutting personnel at the front lines, some poor staffer who took some summer holiday time will be blamed and fired.

Call it what it is: everyday Americans voting for those passing less taxation on those who can afford to pay.

Ppl have become so insular that they don't even know who & what to change in order to effect better conditions.

Following 'influencers' and media ppl distributing disinformation won't help solve who needs to be removed and who needs to be heading organizations & depts.
Voting cheap taxes won't help

To quote an older Bro making $120K doing part time work, "Well, then, they should just work til they die."
This from a man raised in a small town by working class family. He thinks because HE got lucky finding the right job fit that everyone can do it.
It wasn't his skill but pure blind luck.

Often ppl don't see the nose in front of their faces.
They won't 'get' it til something severe happens to them.
Billionaires that now control the uSA still want their money & control, no matter who the 'lesser thans' are who die.
It will ALWAYS be - someone else's fault.
And "I'm in the lifeboat".

Technology is only as good as the people interpreting it.
Noem/Trump administration saying they'll "upgrade National Weather Service technology" won't cut it.
Fire a bunch of National Weather Service individuals who know how to interpret and use the tech, and you're still going to kill people.

I posted 'elsewhere' I can still work fast & hard from 7AM - dark.
For one day.
Then it takes til Day 3 to recover.
I'd still prefer to work that way. HARD for one day to get stuff done, then 2 days to kick back/recover/read/listen to music/visit w friends.
Half arsed low output workday isn't me.
