Just checking on how the Invisible Hand of the Market is doing

Waiting for an MRI in Ontario can take anywhere up to eight months and Doug Ford spent 29 MRI machines on a jet so he could be more comfy on his one-hour flight to Ottawa once a year.

Remember this one? "It can't 5any good, if it's free."

Advantage number 47a of not having an automobile is that, when a motor vehicle accident completely blocks a major intersection in all four directions, pedestrians navigate effortlessly. (BTW, advantage 12C is walking past neighbors buffing their $50,000 driveway toys.)

We strolled, hand in hand, to the grocer about 30+ minutes away, shopped a few things, turned around, strolled back home (downhill!), and (Oxford comma?) enjoyed lunch. There was a big MVA at Columbus Dr. and Topsail Road _ lottsa emergency vehicles:

All you Dem MFs running in the midterms, you can't point to polling anymore as your reason for being wishy-washy on this right here. So we'll know damn well where your bread is buttered if you do

Sooo... where the phuque do we park our votes?! With our usual "the lesser of two evils" or go with what we would like, "the greater good"?

God, I so glad that I'm nearer my best before date. Sorry for all you Gens that are following us Boomers.

We're watching the 1954 flick "The Barefoot Contessa" featuring Ava Gardner and Humphrey Bogart on Pluto, and I want a time machine, a brazilian dollars, a tux, a fashion sense and an invitation.

David Gross: "Currently, I spend part of my time trying to tell people … that the chances of you living 50 [more] years are very small.

Due to the danger of nuclear war, you have about 35 years."

Fine. My actuarially best before date is 13 years hence, max. Have fun, kids.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

One might think that @doctorow.pluralistic.net has less than a fuzzy feeling about the Palantir crowd, too.

"Capitalism's Big Lie in four words: "There is no alternative." ...

"There is no alternative" is really "stop trying to think of alternatives, dammit."

A couple points on this manifesto, apart from the racial superiority subtext others noted.

Palantir is a company built on public contracts, they bill the state billions to surveil and target the state's population. The manifesto exists to justify their demand for even more.

Every time Doug gets caught doing stuff even his supporters don't like he always says "we moved too fast" and I wish I knew that line when I was 12 and got caught doing stuff I knew was wrong.

Is anyone else sick and tired of the blatant financial and political corruption in this country?

It's as though they don't even care, they don't even pretend, and, when the heat gets too high, they simply reverse course with nary an apology, just an insincere "We listened to our constituents."

For future reference, and some giggles ...

Just for the sake of clarity, you did try them on one at a time, right?

Canada can and should be leading here, but our government is convinced that our economic future is dependent on selling more fossil fuels.

Banning algorithmic pricing ought to be a no-brainer call for any government: people don’t like to be ripped off, surveilled, or treated differently from their peers.

Algorithm pricing does all three of those things.

#Ontario get engaged NOW. We need a good Liberal leader to get out there and start working to defeat Ford.

OK, folks, you know what to do, right?
