Trump: "You know who else didn't help us? South Korea didn't help us. We've got 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect them from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well. He said very nice things about me. He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person."

@tobi I agree. Another tax as they will inevitably run it with negative ebit. They don’t have scale nor entrepreneurial ambition to see it successfully through. Sad this is where Torontos voted officials’ energy and efforts are going.

@pmroadmap25 It can’t. They are the hardest businesses in the world to run. Insane low margin with tons of regulations and things like cold supply chains. No government can do this.

Poor little Ben - and I do mean little - desperate for me to protect him. Can you imagine being this emasculated? Sad.

.@megynkelly is a coward. @piersmorgan is a clickwhore. None of that has anything to do with Israel or Jews. And criticism isn’t censorship. Stop with your whiny Jussie Smollett fake victim routine.

@DavidOndrej1 I really don’t know if I agree. I gave both 5.1 and 3.0 a front-end coding challenge in JS. 5.1 found 3.0’s mistakes in one shot, whereas I had to prompt 3.0 four times without reaching the solution. The incrementality in these models is disheartening. We are approaching peak LLM

@CheriDiNovo Grocery store profit margin is like 3%. Most people wouldn't even get out of bed for that bad of a margin so the fact that they've invested billions to get a 3% profit is something people should be thankful for.

@tobi Milton is the economist who makes the most sense to me. I don't know why his theories aren't more widely discussed…maybe it’s because our current society prioritizes ideas that don't make sense.

Approximately one in four workers works for the government in Canada. Glad that Carney is planning to reduce this meaningfully.

@opine_np @Tablesalt13 In most of Canada the land is covered under treaties. BC and the territories are not. The natives will likely try in places covered by treaties but they'll lose.

I just want to make THIS VERY CLEAR for British Columbians even the FAINTEST HINT of the possibility of Aboriginal title being placed on your property makes your home UNSALEABLE. Lawyers and sellers have a duty to disclose material facts.

@XaviercMiller Why don't people understand this? Is it because we stopped teaching it? I believe there's a root cause that's not being addressed, leaving us with people arguing on both sides, then ultimately the most charismatic or profligate spender wins the election.

Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami. The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue. The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price. Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over. Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides. Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores. I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality. People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving. This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it. If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”

@theJagmeetSingh @ZohranKMamdani STFU, you loser. Don't you see the disaster Canada is in—a disaster you enabled? Shame on you! You're a disgusting human in every way. You've pushed Canadians backwards. Your political existence is a disgrace and disappointment on every level. Be ashamed of yourself.

At a time when the odds feel so stacked against working-class people, the people of New York made history. They elected someone who will fight for them. Despite all the odds and powerful interests stacked against him, @ZohranKMamdani won. Congratulations!!! ✊🏽💪🏽

@CP24 Certain events like this should have no resales and ID required by the ticket purchaser to enter the event. That would prevent scalping as well. Problem solved 🤷‍♀️

@EDisonhere1 @CP24 Nobody has a gun to anyone's head making them pay for these tickets. It's free will. I want a Ferrari. We should force Ferrari to give me a better price because I'm a big fan. Tax Ferrari more for not giving me what I want.

@CP24 What gouging!?!? This is not an essential service. There is no better place to have supply demand system just run its course. If someone is willing to pay for this luxury so be it.

#BREAKING Premier Ford says he’s considering legislation to cap resale ticket prices, as Blue Jays prices skyrocket. It was his government that scrapped anti-scalping law in 2018.
