Does anybody, and I mean anybody, actually have any idea what is actually going on? Or is the divergence and divide, the flipping and flopping, the mixed messaging on all subjects purposely intended to psyop and sow confusion? Ah, fuck it... GM!

My son comes at me with the "perfect body has a chest to waist ratio of 1.6." He works out and is pretty darn smart in school BUT he wasn't ready for me to retort with "the golden ratio"? That has lead our start to spring break with a trip down that rabbit hole... Golden Ratios, Fibonacci, in art, architecture, music (I've forced Tool in this house forever). Oh, and we measured him. He has achieved the Golden Ratio! At the age of 15 he is Phi.

In everything in life strive to be like Bill Murray on The Hot Ones... Stoic, confident, unconcerned, accomplished. Was he acting? Keep'em all guessing!

I don't have a Tesla. I would never own a Tesla. Nothing to do with Musk. I like Musk. I admire his accomplishments. People selling their Teslas because they have irrational emotions show just how dumb these people are. No, I will never own a Tesla because of how much data it collects on you. There is no more privacy invasive vehicle on the road than Tesla. Where you are, where you go, where you live, when you travel, how you drive (speed, acceleration, hard braking), cameras inside, cameras always on outside watching your car and surroundings, who is in the car, where you work, shop, eat, where kids go to school, facial recognition, if you're tired or distracted, where you bank, if you're doing something out of routine, etc etc. etc. It's disgusting how much data it collects and you have no opt out. Oh, and they sell that data to insurance companies as well as creating profile of you to sell to third party brokers. Nah, I'll stick with old school cool. I don't even want Android Auto or Apple Carplay spying on me. And, yes, those systems do, too, but at least they're not nearly as invasive as Tesla (and many modern cars) are.

And this is representative of what our dumb Canadian boomers learn from by watching mainstream media. This is a Global News reporter (Top 3 network) not having a bloody clue how things work... The comments below this post were either correcting him or full of anti American vitriol. It's disgusting and it's exactly the kind of shit my aged mother watches them goes and votes Liberal again. And for those who didn't know, tariffs are paid by the customs agent operating on behalf of the receiver. You may have gotten a package once from overseas and had UPS or FedEx tell you there was a duty owed. Yeah, just like that. Not the trucker, nor the pilot, not the ship's captain has ever paid. Just the receiver.

Trump's SOTU is nothing but winning and he's been giving out feel good gifts to all the honoured guests. From renaming state parks, to a cancer survivor becoming honorary secret service, to announcing a well deserved entrance to a West Point (I mean, the kid had to have been getting in but a quick reading of his merits was justifiable gold).

Gotta love Trump trumpeting the natural gas pipeline in Alaska with Asian partners... You know where they came first? Canada. And you know who said "nah fam, there's no business case"? Fuckin' Trudeau! There is no pit in hell deep enough for that son of a whore (and, yes, I did mean to say that Maggie, his mother, was a whore).

Uncertainty was wrecking havoc on the markets. Some clarification has brought a semblance of stability. There are those getting absolutely rich off this shit... And then there's everyone else. Opt out. There was a time when folk didn't call it a "100 mile diet" but just relied on their local producers. They didn't turn to multinational industrial farmers but grew their own food and/or knew their farmers in county. They hunted and fished or got their proteins locally. They knew what was in their feed, their soil, and their water. And, speaking of water, they sure as shit didn't buy it in a fucking plastic bottle! Urbanization and globalization has made people soft. Hell, they can't even read a map but they're trained to take directions. Teach your children well is how the song goes.

American banks, like most American businesses, don't do business in Canada because it's hardly worth the cost and regulation. Canadian banks broke into the US primarily by buying over leveraged and failing assets post 2008 GFC. They also broke into South America from that opportunity. They were not, themselves, over leveraged because of some heavy regulations on Canada. The US is a freer market than Canada with 10x the population. That's 10x the customer base and 10x the growth potential. Why would an American operation even give a passing glance to Canadian taxes and regulations for a nation that possesses the same customer base as California with the GDP/capita equal to Alabama? Note that US companies and, thus, their financiers do back cross border infrastructure projects, usually regarding energy. But, no, there is no Chase or BOA in Canada. All the credit cards are managed by American firms like Visa, MC, and Amex and that responsible for $2.5T of debt.

Lolz... CTV asking Trudeau, paraphrased, "like, seriously, when are you gonna leave?" and Trudeau responding, also paraphrased, "ehhhh... I don't know but we'll figure that out between the selected PM and myself."

I served up my son and breakfast of an open-face sandwich that included a smash burger, bacon, and fried egg with a glass of milk. The first thing he said to me "the CFG is so messed up". I'm all like "what's the CFG?" It's the "Canada Food Guide". While I'm feeding him real protein and healthy fats (with a smidge of processed grains in the homebaked bread) the CFG is pushing "plant based proteins". Mostly highly processed crap.

If you add a suffix to your description like "ist" you lose my trust. That's the rule. It means you follow a doctrine and are constantly chasing or shading the latest hot thing within that school of thought. Can you think of one "ist" that doesn't mean to close one's mind? Can one be a student and also profess? Can one be so deep in the fishbowl looking for answers which are often outside the tank? (Or inside Plato's allegorical cave, or de la Barca's Dream, or the Matrix - funny how themes have repeated for millennia). Name me one "ist" that isn't.

The truth of all matters are way to complex for the emotional promises that politicians use to hit the undereducated voting base. They know it. The media that repeats the lies knows it. Yet they do it anyways because you can't herd sheep without fear and loud noises.

Politicians are so ghey... And it's the people who get fukt. That's the post.

People virtue signalling with flags outside their homes. I really should get on that... Thinking a pirate flag.

Tomorrow night is March Fourth, the 4th... As in March Forth, or to move forward from a starting position. The question is, which way is his forth?
