Mesurer par un trajet en voiture la longueur d'une pile de billets de 1000 francs suisse qui serait aussi grande que la fortune d'Elon Musk.

I have to wonder if Mrs. Asper is allowing her own Jewish family roots and political bias to show through…
Seems pretty blatant that first the Liberal Minister of Culture and Heritage, and now the longtime Liberal supporting family is getting play in the media (which they used to own in part) demanding “context" to an exhibit about the Nakba.
Izzy Asper was the leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party along with being the patriarch of one of the most powerful media conglomerates in Canada, until it was swallowed up by other billionnaire family media company people.
The *only* impartial voice here with a proven track record for understanding and communicating history fairly is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Period.
Hey Billionnaires: your money does NOT mean you get to call the shots when it comes to national museums.
If you want to do that, get back into the local newspapers you abandoned.

Hy’shqa’s got a point.
““It’s always ‘Hey, take Zuck to Davy Jones Locker this, pop Peter Thiel a 100 feet into the air and then eat his liver that—when are you land whales gonna finally step up to these guys yourselves?” asked J-Pod matriarch Hy’shqa. “Have you guys taken a turn bashing your head into a rich bastard’s yacht even once? No, but you want us to keep doing it. You’re really gonna just keep asking my endangered ass to handle this? No, that’s not fair. I mean, this is getting pathetic—you guys at least have to start charging these motherfuckers on these superyachts a toll for fully stopping traffic and opening a whole bridge or barely fitting through the Ballard Locks.””

Not clear on the definition of Fascism?
Benito Mussolini 1932
https://ia601206.us.archive.org/20/items/mussolini-archive/The%20Doctrine%20of%20Fascism%20Benito%20Mussolini.pdf
Some choice quotes:#TeaParty #MAGA
"Fascism was not the nursling of a doctrine previously drafted at a desk; it was born of the need of action, and was action; it was not a party but, in the first two years, an anti-party and a movement.”#Democracy #Freedom #Autocracy
“[Fascism] is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights of the State”#PersonalIdentity
"Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State..”#WorkersRights #Corporate #Billionnaires
"Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon. But when brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognizes the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonized in the unity of the State.#SelfExpression #Trans #LGBTQ
"if liberty is to he the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism…”#totalitarianism
"Fascism, is totalitarian, and the Fascist State - a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values - interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people”#austerity
"life, as conceived of by the Fascist, is serious, austere, and religious; The Fascist disdains an “easy " life.”#environment #climatechange #peace #war
"[Fascism] does not believe in the possibility of "happiness" on earth … it therefore rejects the theological notion that at some future time the human family will secure a final settlement of all its difficulties.” -

"In the UK, the number of billionaires has grown sharply, from 15 in 1990 to 165 in 2024, according to separate figures from the Equality Trust, which found their average wealth rose by more than 1,000% over the same period. Billionaires pay “effective tax rates close to 0.3% of their wealth, well below what average workers contribute"
Billionaires’ wealth surged $6.5tn over past decade, Oxfam reports | The super-rich | The Guardian

The problem: - is also the people that are repeating political figures - as well as the political figures themselves that plays the game of exciting those parrot-pitbulls - as well as the #totalitarian and #billionnaires sucker media applying #americanfreespeecheil Goebbels-techniques like #FOXNEWS

ICYMI: @davidallengreen makes the crucial point that when Billionaires start saying Court orders can be ignored they are cutting away at the basis of their own wealth.... billionaires depend (for the most part) on the rule of law to maintain their wealth... without its just so much paper & possession (with no firm property rights attached)
So, without comprehensive legal compliance these billionaires suddenly starting looking vulnerable....

Graham King, an Essex businessman who won government contracts paying his firm £3.5m a day for transporting and accommodating asylum seekers has been named among the 350 richest people in the UK.
Profiting from misery the UK way.

Oh dear, #techbros like #ElonMusk are always arguing that is great when different bits of tech can talk to each other & coordinate their data its good for the consumer...
Imagine his growing horror as #Tesla 's labour dispute in #Sweden has seen #unions talking to each other and coordinating their activities... now Tesla's rubbish is not being collected by (unionised) refuge collectors...
Yes, Elon coordination is good, especially for #workers seeking better wages from #billionnaires!

Being filthy rich is not a qualification.
That one has shitloads of #money doesn't mean they are smart, intelligent, educated, clever, or skilled. It often doesn't even mean that they're good at doing #business.Why, then, do we let the filthy rich mess with everything?

Back in the day there were 7 large Pulp and/or Paper Mills on Vancouver Island. They were the major employer in Port Alice, Gold River, Powell River, Campbell River, North Cowichan/Crofton, Nanaimo (Harmac), and Port Alberni.
Gold River closed permanently 20 years ago.
Campbell River closed permanently 15 years ago.
Harmac was sold to the employees 15 years ago, it continues.
Port Alice closed permanently 10-15 years ago.
Powell River closed permanently this year.
Crofton has been 'curtailed' for last 3 months due to 'market conditions’ (see link). The outlook is not bright.
Port Alberni is the last “company mill” on the Island and has avoided most of the turmoil at least outwardly.Other than Harmac, the last 3 mills were the final ones owned by one entity. That entity, Paper Excellence, is owned by a member of the Wijaya family who run a huge conglomerate in Indonesia: Sinar Mas.
It's just numbers on a spreadsheet now.
I expect Port Alberni's mill to be closed within 5 years.
There are lots of reasons for the shutdown, but I believe the major one is company consolidation and offshoring of global pulp and paper production.

Avarice has gone mad in the governing class to-day, just as lust went mad in the circle of Nero. By all the working and orthodox standards of sanity, capitalism is insane.
