How capitalism survives.
‏
(1) Divide the wealth we all produce so the richest 5% get half, the middle 25% get a third, and the 70% majority get a sixth.

(2) Repeat to the middle that socialism means the bottom wants to take what’s yours.

Employer talking:
"100 to 300 million litres of milk are thrown away in Canada each year, whether due to a strike or other factors."
"In Canada, unlike other countries, milk is almost a public good ... we subsidize part of the production so the milk is paid for by Canadians"
What is the name of the union even CBC?
Did they strike before? Often? What is the record of the co-op? Is it a worker co-op or a corporate one?

Why must I subsidize the cbc when I have to do their job?
Well, gotta go!!

I'm very disappointed in Banggood today. They cancelled my long back-ordered new phone and refunded me, but I didn't ask them to do that! *AND* the phone is up for sale still, but like $20 more in cost... :-(
I'll be taking ice fishing fotos by the time I get it at this rate.

My phone cam is broken for focus, so this is better than I could do for you myself. Hi to Clair! :-)

How To F#€k Up An Airport
It is sad, but even for a guy without a valid passport like me and who will likely never take an international flight again, the *only* airport that came to mind immediately was BER :-(

Wish there were transcripts though.

It's another outrageously great day here. Zero clouds, still not too hot, light breeze and low-ish humidity. What's not to like?
Also, no work today and someone already cut the lawn. I have left-over okonomiyaki cakes from yesterday and cleaned trout ready to go for supper. It's like I won a lottery or something!
Oh, and someone made pierogi kiełbesa with (who knew??) 18% sour creme on the side last night!

Tamil Nadu cops force teens to get haircut in Chidambaram, face flak

No idea how hair length (in either direction) became a 'thing'. So weird.

I'm not against managed logging - nor even clear cutting. Bears and other wildlife adore clear cuts: they are full of food.
Avalanche tracks, clear cuts, last year's forest fire... all full of berries and greens. Little food in the timber except moss, mushrooms and the odd squirrel.

We log trees like this in BC on Monday's.
"90m-high trees aren't necessarily protected under B.C.'s protections, which determine protection by diameter."
