@CrisCyborg would love to see you take on Rhonda, and get a big paycheck. It's the only women super fight fans haven't had the chance to see yet. View quoted note →

Love Carano, she's a pioneer. Her fight against Cyborg at Strikeforce was legendary. But just from seeing Rhonda warm up, I don't think it'll be close. I'll be very happy to be wrong.

After seeing les Canadiens de Montréal get smacked by the Buffalo Sabres, I'm flipping over to the Rousey v Carano fight. If anybody asks me tomorrow, I'll have watched all the games.

The Canadian federal government, alongside green scam activists, has argued for years that a carbon tax makes a nation more competitive on the world stage. We were told it would not negatively affect the economy and that consumers would not bear additional costs because the carbon tax rebate would offset the burden. Now, after the Alberta provincial government reached an agreement with the federal government to set the industrial emissions price at $130 per tonne instead of the $170 per tonne applied in other provinces, British Columbia Premier David Eby has stated that the deal is unfair because it gives Alberta an economic advantage through a lower carbon tax. Hilariously revealing. If a lower carbon tax gives Alberta a competitive advantage, then a higher carbon tax makes industries less competitive. First, carbon taxes, carbon capture subsidies, and net-zero schemes are a scam, forcefully extracting money out the system and being redistributed to government adjacent companies and NGOs. Second, it is disappointing and weak that Premier Smith did not take a stronger stance against a carbon tax. Shame on her for bending the knee that easily, for the hope of a pipeline being built. Not even a pipeline going East, but one likely going West. Third, Premier Eby has effectively acknowledged what everyone has been saying for years, that carbon taxes do in fact, reduce industrial competitiveness by increasing costs. Will he be called a climate change denier now?

B.C.'s Eby warns Alberta's reported carbon price deal would leave province at a disadvantage : AM 1150

Premier David Eby is raising concerns about reports that Ottawa and Alberta are close to announcing deal on industrial carbon pricing,

With the software and apps you use on your phone, computer, TV, and even your car, you normally get to decide what data is shared. For example, Google may only have access to your location while you’re actively using Google Maps, unless you choose to give it access all the time. The same goes to your camera and microphone for apps like Instagram, where you control when those permissions are allowed. Bill C-22 changes that. The bill would allow the Canadian government to require electronic service providers to build and maintain technical capabilities that enables government entities to access data any time they want. It'll force companies to collect and retain information regardless of a user’s privacy settings, while also prohibiting companies from disclosing it. Practically, anyone who offers you an electronic service would be gagged from letting you know about it. The bill also softly bans encryption, by forcing companies to decrypt all data for them. It's a massive breach against your privacy, but also incredibly reckless in weakening private corporations' data security. The bill also requires service providers to retain metadata, like location history and communication records, for at least 12 months. They're already talking about extending to 36 months. “Nothing to hide because you’re a law-abiding citizen?” Maybe not for now, but maybe not in the future. Combined with the new hate speech laws, anything you said in the past can be held against you, even if it was prior to it being illegal. This means the rules of engagement can be changed at any time, for any reason, while they have access to every little bit of information about you, your wife and your kids. Big Brother is watching.

$STRC and $SATA are essentially the traditional financial equivalent of staking dollar tokens to earn yield. They may actually be the true "web3 killer". They’re showing there’s no real need to buy crypto just to earn staking yield. Ethereum offers roughly 3%, Solana 5-7%, XRP around 5%, and ADA about 4% in staking yield, all while taking on blockchain risk and big token price volatility (mostly to the downside). The staking yield is backed by the token, and the token’s value is backed by the yield. Treasury companies are keeping their stock token stable-ish, and their stock token is backed by Bitcoin. Their business model is just superior to what web3 offers. They're the new alt-coin. Ironic because the web3 ecosystem is all about replacing the financial system with other fiat shenanigans. Now they're tokenizing on top of STRC to boost their yield offer, because their tokens are on life support. No one beats Wall Street, when it comes to winning at the fiat ponzi scheme. #2sats
