Remember, only 2 years ago, Eby had promised to give BC families $1000 to offset increased grocery costs during his elections campaigning. Then, he never gave that to BC families after winning election. Don't believe the campaign promises. He's a sellout neoliberal/not a lefty at all anymore.

"Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao reportedly admitted that the Iranian military “blew the hell” out of the United States naval base in Bahrain—a shocking claim that contradicts the Trump administration’s narrative of total destruction of Iran’s attack capabilities":

I asked gardeners what the biggest money-wasters are that we spend on our yard — and what to buy https://www.allforgardening.com/1919524/i-asked-gardeners-what-the-biggest-money-wasters-are-that-we-spend-on-our-yard-and-what-to-buy/ #Buy #garden #gardening #GardeningTools #LawnClippings #Shutterstock #SoilTest #TestingSoilPH #WasteOfMoney
#AUKUS - People can relax, it wont ever be a target, because we'll literally NEVER receive those fictitious subs.
"A significant proportion of the Port Kembla population have already expressed opposition to the proposed base. In September, more than 40 organisations signed the Port Kembla Declaration, insisting their community should not be the site of a nuclear base, arguing it would endanger their community."
It'll be built, then sit in mothballs for 30-50 years with regular billions poured into its upkeep by labor to 'keep the lights on, the dust at bay, and graffiti off the walls', then be repurposed for something more useful.

Ich will nicht wissen, wer Banksy wirklich ist.
Was für eine Verschwendung von Zeit und Geld.
Ich will verdammt nochmal wissen, wer alles in den Epstein Akten steht, damit diesen Typen der Prozess gemacht werden kann!
Da wäre Investigativjournalismus wünschenswert!
Danke für NICHTS!

Jordan Weissmann: "We're probably going to lose $20 billion bailing out Argentina*. Guess how much it would cost to extend the #Obamacare subsidies for one year? About $24 billion."
*As a favor by Donald Trump to a Trump crony.

if you're wondering why I'm quoting such old data from 2010-2014 its because agreements between academic publishers and UK universities are often signed under non-disclosure agreements and so the info is hard to get (probably tacit acknowledgement of what poor value these contracts are!)
Is it just me, or have politicians completely lost it? Every woman I know does her own makeup before work, buys her own cosmetics, and takes her own photos. Can someone tell me how to stop this nonsense? I don’t want my taxes wasted on things like this.

Keir Starmer set to unveil digital ID scheme | Here we go again, the government believing that KYC needs to be pushed into every (any?) aspect of life
The ID would probably be used for right-to-work checks and to determine whether a person was eligible for a home rental contract, they said.
Gosh, is that really such an enormous fucking problem that it is a proportionate economic solution to push 60 million ID cards out?

And I wonder who these roles would go to? Maybe their wives, girlfriends, family members, or their mate Steve, who's a good lad & owns a Golf. Reform nonsense as usual.

Amy McGrath: "The California National Guard had 72 soldiers whose enlistments were set to expire during the deployment to Los Angeles. Of those 72, at least 2 have now left the Guard, and 55 others have indicated that they will not extend their service. Guardsmen called this a fake mission.”

@SNerd I bought one iMac, one time. It was OK. There hasn't been a reason other than status to own any Apple product for years. They are expensive and don't play well with others. They are designed to sell you piece by piece what could be in one package. No thank you. #Apple #iPhone #WasteOfMoney
@ProgressivePower Today's "GOP" is in fact GfN — Good for Nothing.

Of course it was premeditated. I assume arresting women’s safety groups handing out rape alarms was at Andrews request- you honestly think you live in a democracy, or they are ‘our’ royal family - try holding up a sign against them see what happens #bcc #news #gmb #Coronation #royals #kingcharles #charlescoronation #princeandrew #kingcharlescoronation #king #RoyalFamily #Coronation2023 #royal #RoyalFamily #republic #protest #notmyking #wasteofmoney #republic #BankHoliday #metpolice
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer told BBC's Sunday with Kuenssberg the police were right to factor in the scale and global-nature of the event. Ahh I see, they can bin our democracy and right to protest if it’s a global event on the tele.

Pa we are so proud of you, for being born, that’s it, that’s all he’s done been born into a family of tax dodgers - an accident of birth means we are not allowed to tax him, he can’t be arrested for anything and owns more land than anyone - so proud, so fuckung proud #bcc #news #gmb #Coronation #royals #kingcharles #charlescoronation #princeandrew #kingcharlescoronation #king #RoyalFamily #Coronation2023 #royal #RoyalFamily #republic #protest #notmyking #wasteofmoney #republic #BankHoliday

'In the coming days, there will be endless commentators ready to declare that the coronation makes them “proud to be British”, while anyone who criticises any aspect of it will be accused of “hating their country”.
I have never quite understood the mindset that feels more pride in producing Prince Andrew than the welfare state'...
Frances Ryan is absolutely right; lets celebrate the #welfarestate not a bunch of rich parasites

I seriously think she should be visiting #FirstNations communities across #Canada instead of using our #TaxDollars to fly across the world to talk to other #Indigenous ppl! We have tons of wisdoms available from #Native elders, matriarchs, youths & activists - right here, in Canada. If she can't help domestic #FirstPeoples - zero faith she'll do much to help any others globally either.

Finally a modern, finger on the pulse monarch to rule over us. The oil used to anoint the man by an accident of birth gets to play dress up and lord over 60 million people will now be made from compressed poor people and scented with Katie Price’s ‘whiff of working class’

that being said, everyone is so keen on seeing Siya Kolisi supporting the ladies at the game. I would have preferred that he was playing for the sharks, where we paid a ton of cash for him to join and hardly ever play..... #WasteOfMoney. Could have used him and Bongi and Eben yesterday against Ulster.
Lilt drink brand to be scrapped after 50 years and rebranded

Pointless exercise! Must have money to spare.
They'd be better off investing profits in moving away from plastic bottles. CocaCola are after all one of the world's largest producers of plastic.
Consumers want the convenience of plastic bottles, say CC. They also like the brand Lilt!

Been living without a fridge for a week now, repair guys are a bunch of clowns, 3 different people over 3 different visits. Its finally the best its been, new compressor, relays, full flush and regas... but I wake up this morning to my kitchen smelling like refrigerant gas. Yay so now its leaking!
