If you work a minumum wage ($15/hr) job for 7 years and put in 40/hrs/week, you’d make $210,000.

Time scales make numbers seem bigger than they are. Go after Danielle Smith for something realstic. This is just shitty outrage journalism.

2019 - 2025 is 7 years

Literal nothing burger if you can MATH.

This is hilarious, but FFS ‘thedailybeast’ fuck off with your headlines. There’s nothing panicked here. A realistic, actual meaty headline would be “Trump tells Canada that China will restrict Ice Hockey, when asked about British trade with China”

This headline tells the facts, without dipping into outrage politics.

MAGA showed up in Greenland, handed red hats to homeless people ands aid “Look how much they want us here”

They’re doing the same thing in Alberta. The “Forever Canada” petition showed that people sitting on street-corners could gather 400k signatures to stay in Canada.

A well funded Maga Movement is renting out stadiums for a counter petition. I expect they’ll get less than 100k signatures.

I agree this makes the US look really bad.

As I understand, she was arrested as the organizer of an unplanned parade which blocked the road.

The optics are poor, but if you were impacted by the blocked road, you’d be celebrating this.

It actually is a ghost town. There’s so little engagement, and even the upvote-counts seemingly aren’t obfuscated, and are super low.

There’s also already a lot of conservative trolls who will flame for “MUH SPEECH” if you suggest that they’re an annoying conservative. “Hey man, I’m just asking the questions”. In a ghost town, they appear louder.

My theory is that people just don’t want to comment anymore. We all learned our lesson. If we comment, we just feed the AI beast. I’m not offering my insights and opinions so that you can scrape them.
