Another question, other than the obvious wage slavery of it all, is... why? Why do we need them mining and refining materials? They'll say it's so they can make the "AI revolution" go faster, but to what end? Why is any of this happening? None of this needs to or should happen.

You are completely fucked up as a newspaper if you think RFK Jr deserves praise for anything he has done so far in his new role- which is really nothing except pushing anti-medicine and anti-vaccine propaganda.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

Suing far right influencers who spread conspiracy theories about private figures to audiences full of unhinged and violent trolls is good, and more people put through these horrible ringers should do it.

Note the fallacy here: "Both Carney and Poilievre have stressed the need to cap immigration levels to better align numbers with the availability of housing" Cutting immigration reduces housing growth, as they're major investors in, and builders of, housing www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.
