Complacent middle class, or rapidly shrinking and struggling to not fall further middle class?

Trump’s would rather save his ego

Trump’s ego is the thing he values most of all.

Even sadder that people keep falling for it.

Apparently I’m the only person in the country who doesn’t find the seasonal time changing to be problematic.

I like having the extra sunshine hours in the summer evenings, and having sunrise come a bit sooner in the winter. And I’ve never personally experienced any dramatically negative effects on the days when the time changes.

Like this?

Nothing the US government is doing will end well.

Apparently Johnny Cash was a terrorist…

A lot of calls to a certain resort in Florida?

My kid has a part time job and is looking for another, but everything she can find wants you to be available for any shift at any time. All while not offering more than part time shifts with no guaranteed hours.

Gen X has all the money actually.

Do we? I hadn’t noticed.

And they got way richer during COVID.

Again, that’s not this gen-Xer’s experience. I (along with a lot of my co-workers) lost our jobs during and shortly after covid.

And ain’t nobody hiring “old people”, and especially not at anywhere near the income we were making before.

I don’t know how sucessful that propaganda was. I don’t remember meeting anyone who believed it. (at least not anyone who knew that the “settlements” existed)

Porque no los dos?

Just a slob like one of us

Or they don’t.

Welcome to the current presidency.

“I see you don’t have enough money. I’m gonna take more money away from you” feels pretty damn punitive to most people.

Explain to me how NSF fees are even a thing. The processing has to be so negligible in terms of “cost”.

It’s more punitive than any practical thing.

I’m not certain that Russia is entirely America’s enemy any more.

According to their "about us page:

In 2025, The Tyee gained Registered Journalism Organization status, which means that we can issue tax receipts for financial contributions made to The Tyee. Any contribution of at least $5 made to The Tyee on or after January 1, 2025 is eligible to receive an official CRA tax receipt.

No, I don’t think anything the Americans do with regard to trade negotiations will be done with sincerity. (Or honesty. Or in the interest of collaboration. )

But that doesn’t mean Canada doesn’t have some powerful cards that we can play. (Such as the return of the DST)

I expect to see it as one of the bargaining chips on the table during the upcoming Canada/US trade re-negotiations.
