He killed the market, let a few buddies know he was going to reverse it so they would buy stuff up cheap, then reversed it.

Literally hundreds of billions of dollars in value was just lost/made by various people in this pump and dump(dump and pump?) scheme.

I mean, good for having some staples, but that's not really planning for a recession. That's more planning for an extended natural disaster or full on collapse of society.

You're far better off spending your money on things that will improve your likelihood of staying employed (or getting new employment) through the recession, the price of those staples will be affordable as long as you have any income.

Getting a secondary job in a less-likely to be impacted industry and getting trained up now, or taking specific courses at a local college focused on a secondary skillset will be the most useful.

No. Get help.

Proper survey methodology?

I'm not sure the Conservatives have ever even heard of such a concept.

All news orgs should drop it, let it fail.

Fucking Conservatives, all of them. They think they can do/say whatever they want and the rules don't apply to them.

How does the public have control of the companies owned or controlled by the Chinese government?

If the public wanted the government to do something different than they had already decided, there is zero ability to enact that change.

The Chinese government exists in a single party system that approves all candidates before they are even allowed to run in their elections, and important positions (within the party itself) are only handed out to loyalists.

I studied China at a University level as part of my business degree, including multiple trips to said country to visit businesses, universities, and politicians.

Public ownership implies the public has control or benefits from them. That is clearly not the case, therefore not socialism.

 

Interesting decision

 

What a lady she was, helping shift all of us forward in a normally taboo subject.

 

TL;DR Pay staff more

 

As early as June 24th/25th which is 10+ days away, and even then only to alternating traffic.

 

Oops

 

A collaborative musical performance featuring the Japan Training Squadron and the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy is also scheduled for Friday from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Cameron Bandshell in Beacon Hill Park

 

Rain helped, but still not enough yet.
