@chad we live in such a cold country, none of us would survive a winter in the elements. And misfortune can happen to anyone - I'm seeing that all around me in Toronto, where employment is precarious, the vacancy rate is 0.4% and rent is insanely high.
I thought we were a society that takes care of the ill and unfortunate. I'm disappointed and angry at these failures of basic human compassion 😢

Chapeau!
It ís possible, and so some organisations just do it: making their conference totally online. No more flying around the globe, no COVID19 virus spreading, it can be done in the good oldskool ways: online. 🙂

For people still on the “Democrats suck at messaging train”, please read this article. Dan Pfeiffer knows more than you.
Then look at the fact that CNN is giving Donald Trump a huge platform. Then look at how the legacy media carries Republican messaging around every day. On the economy, on crime, on human rights.
@TonyStark Why's a formerly fairly credible news outlet like CNN giving a career-criminal with ~4,000 lawsuits still stuck to his ass, being impeached twice, investigated for having incited & set on foot an insurrection against the authority of the United States a public stage to lie & incite again?
Money.
It's "journalistic" prostitution.
And it deserves to be deleted from the list of viewable & "credible" channels on everyone's TV.
