I, for one, am as grateful as I am impressed that Toronto politicians have solved the crime, public safety, traffic, transit, housing and cleanliness problems of the city so thoroughly that they can move on to these new challenges.

What I admire about the City of Toronto is that it is so well-managed, so resourceful and so efficient that it has the time and resources to get into the grocery business. Impressive.

CNN: "Right now, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party. It started minutes into the debate, and it continues right now. It involves party strategists and involves elected officials. It involves fundraisers, and they're having conversations about the President's performance, which they think was abysmal, which they think will hurt other people down the party on the ticket. They're having conversations about what they should do about it. Some of those conversations include: Should we go to the White House and ask the president to step aside? Should prominent Democrats go public with that call?" This is how CNN opened its debate analysis. 😭😭

Led Zeppelin witnessing their tribute by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart performing the triumphant "Stairway to Heaven", at Kennedy Center, 2012.
This is why we should always pay tribute to people when they're still alive. The joy and the emotion on their faces are priceless.

Our public pension funds having an asymmetric appetite for …Canada! With Canada being ranked third by the OECD on FDI so far in 2023, it is becoming hard to argue from them that Canada is too small and not a place enough attractive to invest for our public pension funds!

Holy shit
This NH voter just ended Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign:
“Just a few years ago, we all saw firsthand the disastrous results when a scam artist, a showman & a liar could, with no public service experience become the president of the US”

#MMT died this year. What stood out for me is that all those #MMT folks who were so vocal in 2020 and 2021 went silent in 2022. Their inability to defend their “theory” amid high inflation is the final, pathetic epitaph to what was always just quackery… on.ft.com/3G3GiO0

I am pretty cynical, and hardly anti-business in general, or private equity in particular, but I am appalled by the end stages of the Senate bill’s passage.

Sane (if unfashionably cold) words from Thomas L. Friedman in the NYT: "Boasting about killing [Putin's] generals and sinking his ships, or falling in love with Ukraine in ways that will get us enmeshed there forever, is the height of folly." nytimes.com/2022/05/06/opi…
