Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla paid just 4.9% of their profits in federal corporate taxes in 2025.

Trickle-down economics was always a scam.

What the EU can — and can’t — learn from Spain’s low energy bills Madrid says a renewables boom is shielding its citizens from soaring fossil fuel costs. But that’s not the full story.

Gas only sets Spain's electricity price 15% of the time. When gas costs spike it barely registers on the electricity bill. In countries like Italy and the UK gas sets the price 90% of the time. The difference is enormous.

Started already... very well done 👍

The Carney doctrine Open comment thread on the PM's Davos speech

"The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, and to act together. That is Canada’s path. We choose it openly and confidently."
