Apparently "people" are now pushing the narrative that we've peaked and are actually entering a bear market. It doesn't happen often that the interests of a mere plebs like me are so totally aligned with the market makers, the Corporate State actors and all the other corrupt agents that manipulate markets through mass psychological warfare on the population. Feels weird, but I'm past feeling any empathy for the sheeple. We will all have to get used to being part of the 0.1% at some point.

Poilievre is a question mark to me, for now, because I am naturally skeptical of anybody who calls himself a "conservative" and at the same time appeals to the free market economic discourse. Because I was there in the 80's and through the "Born Again" neocon paroxysm, I *know* that the "socially conservative, fiscally liberal" alliance is simply a mirror image of the "socially liberal, fiscally progressive" nightmare. But well, for now, I do agree that getting out of the socialist hole is necessary, and Poilievre at least does sound more coherent and consistent than many of his international counter parts. And, importantly, he does not sound like a Putin stooge.

@cyberpunk are you seeing all these videos of civilians getting organized to help, given the complete failure of the public system? Reminds me of Valencia, and is once again proof of what we already knew.
