I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

📕 VERY VANCOUVER is out! It's an odyssey through backyard gardens, alley bottle hoards, eateries like Duffin's and east-side family life beyond our pretty skylines and granola reputation. I hope you enjoy these 15 stories and hanging out with the ~70 larger-than-life figures who lent their voices.

It should happen even earlier than that, however. Solar technology is already improving year over year. As is battery technology. We can literally buy this stuff off the shelves and install it, but our corrupt, no-good government is Hellbent on rebuilding coal we have to shut down in about 3 years.

China can install 5GW of solar in 3 days when they're on a roll. How much power does #Sask need on the most power thirsty day? 6GW. That's right Saskies, With 1000 times less effort than China, Saskatchewan could be at 100% renewable power in just 3000 days. 8.2 years, or 2034. #skpoli

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

This was a major #FUBAR from the start. #UCP continues down their trail of disastrous overreaching laws and rules. Cutting red tape?? Nah, their an #authoritarian regime. If youre complaing about rights and freedoms then dont blame Ottawa. The #DanielleSmith Demolition derby on healthcare, education

UCP's plan to put citizenship markers on driver's licenses is an absolute disaster: 1) many seniors don't have a passport/birth certificate easily accessible 2) people are unable to renew their driver's license, risking their employment 3) ID changes put healthcare at risk too #ableg #abpoli

Amidst everything else: "Reuters: “The US has used ‘virtually all’ of its precision strike missiles during the war in Iran. Stockpiles on ATACMs and Precision Strike Missiles are almost depleted. And we have used about half of our Tomahawks, per new data circulating inside the admin."

CNN reported the U.S. military has used nearly 80% of its THAAD interceptor missiles & around 50% of Patriot interceptor missiles. Persian Gulf countries have expressed concern about shortages in air‑defense systems, a problem that affects their ability to respond to potential Iranian retaliation.

Time for Canada/provinces to make this possible here too. We should be allowed to have nice things that lower bills and emissions!

"new state laws and safety codes are reclassifying these plug-in kits as standard appliances — meaning renters can finally treat home solar like a simple toaster oven, plugging a personal power plant into any wall socket and cutting electricity bills by up to 25% with zero landlord approval."

"Sufficiency" isn't measured per-person, it's measured against a floor: the minimum cost of covering basic needs. Uniform means everyone gets that floor amount. Sufficient means the floor is set at (or scaling toward) a level that actually covers basic needs, not a number tailored to each individual

It’s not your fault you’re disabled. It’s not your fault you’re chronically ill. It’s not your fault you’re living in poverty, lacking health insurance, homeless or unemployed. The billionaire class wants us to believe these are moral failings so they don’t have to help people. We should help.

Reporter: Mr. President, this is at least the 5th time you’ve called off airstrikes against Iran since April. Why should it be any different? Trump: Well, you don’t know. I don’t know. I think we’re maybe going to get something, but I want to give them every last chance before decapitation.

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

Rep Max Miller made a video smearing his ex-wife as a liar. He claims his daughter’s injuries happened at daycare. He blames left-wing media. And he sounds drunk. I’m not going to share the video. It’s triggering if you’re a DV survivor.

BREAKING: Max Miller - republican Rep from Ohio who is accused of beating his wife and child - is making an announcement on Twitter at 10 AM tomorrow. It better be his resignation.

The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.
