@TimSear85158585 @johnkonrad I guess you can only read one or two sentences, since all the information in your "reply" is already in his post.

@johnkonrad Hey John where is Alaska on the globe? How many "heavy" icebreakers does the US have? I will answer for you. One. The USCGC Polar Star which is 50 years old. Plus the US only has 1 medium icebreaker USCGC Healy which is 27 years old. So WTF are you talking about?

MORE CARNEY LIES The country with the world’s longest Arctic coastline cannot independently operate in its own northern waters during winter. Canada’s flagship icebreaker, the CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent, was launched in 1966. She’s 60 years old. She is NOT polar class rated. SIXTY She was supposed to be decommissioned in 2000. Then 2017. She’s still in service because nothing exists to replace her. Many “icebreakers” Carney eludes to ice strengthened patrol boats. Ice strengthened just means they won’t sink if they run into ice. It doesn’t mean they can “break” a thick layer of ice. CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent‘s replacement was announced in 2008. EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO Originally due in 2017. It is now “scheduled” for 2026. No ship has been delivered. The program is old enough to vote. ∙Canada operates nine medium icebreakers, most built in the 1970s and 80s. NONE are polar-class. They handle first-year ice in the St. Lawrence and make summer trips north when conditions allow. ∙Russia operates 40+ icebreaking vessels including eight nuclear-powered heavy icebreakers, with ten more planned by 2035. Canada has zero nuclear icebreakers. ∙Total cost for Canada’s two replacement polar icebreakers: C$4.4 billion. Estimated delivery: 2030 and 2032. If you believe those dates, I have a Northwest Passage to sell you. ∙One of the two replacements is being built in Finland, at a shipyard that was Russian-owned until Davie acquired it in 2023. Canada’s answer to Russian Arctic dominance is literally being constructed in a former Russian yard. ∙Mark Carney just announced C$35 billion in Arctic funding. But the purpose of a system is what it does. And what Canada’s system does is produce announcements and press releases, not ships.​​​​​​​​​​ True polar class ships in service capable of breaking thick Arctic ice? 🇺🇸 One heavy (Polar Star, commissioned 1976) Two medium (Healy, commissioned 1999/2000, and Storis, a converted commercial vessel commissioned August 2025). 🇨🇦 Canada has zero polar-class icebreakers. So no, @MarkJCarney, you may (or may not) have the second most ice strengthened vessels… but true icebreakers capable of real polar security service? USA’s pathetic fleet is #2 in the world.
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca

PM Carney on Canada's contribution to Arctic security: "We already have the second largest icebreaker fleet in the world after Russia. Once our icebreaker program is completed, we will have the largest. We will have 42 icebreakers. The Americans have one."

American is a healthy 28 year old, he decided to skip paying for health insurance this year because the cheapest plan was $900 per month with a high deductible He had to spend 2 nights in the ER without insurance, he breaks down the bill “This is my receipt from spending 2 days in the hospital: - It totaled about $24,000 - My CT scan alone was $8,300 - Laboratory, 6,000 - IV therapy, $1,020, $4,000 in total And while $24,000 seems like a lot of money, let me show you something. This is what I'm actually paying, $2,478 because when you don't have insurance, these hospitals give you a discount. They discounted $22,000 off of this bill” “But if I had insurance, I wouldn't have gotten that discount. So it would've been a $24,000 bill billed to my insurance, and then my insurance would've said, ‘Hey, you have a $5,000 deductible. You need to pay $5,000 for this last emergency room visit.’ Then you tack on the $900 a month that I'd be paying for that insurance. I'd be paying $20K this year for healthcare. So the craziest part about this is even if I have another hospital visit, by the end of this year, I'm still gonna be paying less than I would if I had insurance. At minimum, my cost for healthcare this year would've been $20,000 with insurance. Right now I'm at $2,400.” US Health Insurance is a scam

In 3 to 6 months AI will write about 90% of all code. In about 12 months (1 year!) AI will write 100% of all code. That’s coming from Dario Amodei, CEO Anthropic. So year looking bad for several people and looking good for self-developing AI

I'm an American trauma surgeon. One year ago today I was volunteering at Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza when Israel fired a missile into the room of my 16-year-old patient, Ibrahim Barhoum. The missile killed him instantly. If it had hit the room 90 seconds later it would have killed me, too. Today the US and Israel are still blocking medical supplies from entering Gaza, and are repeating the assault on hospitals and healthcare workers across Lebanon. This is nothing but barbarism. It must be stopped.

"Fauci wasn’t merely wrong about key aspects of his supposed field of expertise — from the effectiveness of masks to those completely arbitrary and nonscientific social distancing rules. It also seems clear that he outright lied about many things, including the extent to which the U.S. was funding gain-of-function virus research in the Chinese city where the first COVID cases were identified." thehill.com/opinion/techno…

We need to negotiate with them to protect our global community of creators and artists. This community has no borders and makes no sense with artificial frontiers. I understand that in wartime, they feel the need to protect their own country. So what if we simply commit to never posting about politics or war? In return, could they leave us in our own bubble, untouched by the new rules? 🙏

I'm based in France, but 43% of my audience is American. I know many of us are in the same situation. To reach a wider audience, all my posts are in English, the international language. Those who cause trouble may be punished, but with this change, which will significantly reduce our earnings, you're also penalizing a number of accounts that use the international language without any ill intent. X tells us that videos and new, high-quality content will be prioritized, but this change will, on the contrary, drastically reduce our earnings. Is there any way to reverse this decision, please?🥺 @XCreators @X @nikitabier @elonmusk

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih·
Mr. President, @realDonaldTrump The Islamic Republic is a terrorist regime. It has made one thing brutally clear: the lives of its own people mean nothing to it. It kills them. Then it demands money from their families to return their bodies. And if those families dare to grieve, dare to demand justice, they are threatened with gang rape and then arrested. For years, I have said clearly: the Islamic Republic is not a normal government. It is a terrorist occupying force that will only respond to strength and decisive pressure. But with the reported 48-hour ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz, I feel a moral and patriotic duty to issue a critical warning: Targeting Iran’s power plants and civilian infrastructure does not weaken the regime. It punishes the Iranian people. A nationwide blackout in Iran would hand the regime exactly what it wants, a propaganda victory. The IRGC thrives on blaming foreign enemies for the suffering it has created, redirecting public anger away from itself. It would also put millions of civilians at risk. Power outages mean hospitals shut down, water systems fail, and ordinary people who are already struggling under extreme economic pressure are pushed further into crisis. And it would weaken the very people standing up to this regime. A population fighting for basic survival in darkness and desperation has far less capacity to organize, protest, and resist. If the goal is deterrence or disabling the regime, then the target set must be clear and precise: IRGC command centers, missile infrastructure, and the regime’s security and repression apparatus. Disable the regime’s war machine, not the lives of the Iranian people. The Islamic Republic has held Iran hostage for decades. At this critical moment, do not allow it to use our national infrastructure as a shield for its survival. The objective must be the liberation of Iran, not its destruction. #Iran💔
