That's not true at all. If every worker was a shareholder, then I might agree with you. But shareholders are the rich, who have capital they can invest and gain from. Corporations are set up to only benefit the rich. The average worker gains nothing but their measly wage/salary regardless of how well the company does or how hard they work.

Corporations are not for the benefit of all. They are for the benefit of the rich upper class and derive their wealth from the work of the working class.

Agreed. They're neglecting their duty to warn us of the dangers of traveling to the US.

That's why you need to organize. If you go alone, you'll get arrested. If you go with 10,000 friends...

Canada doesn't even have any new warnings. They have the regular "gun ownership" and stuff they've had for years, but not a single word about the new administration. US travel is still listed as "green". Travel to the UK is "yellow" for fuck's sake.

Yes, according to the Canadian government, it is less safe to travel to the UK than it is to the US. And that's after admitting that about 55 Canadian citizens are in US custody at any given time.

I hope that's far enough. As a Canadian, I'm not so sure.

If you have an escape route available, I suggest getting it prepared now. Hopefully you won't need it, but it's better to be prepared than not.

Pax Americana is over. The Fascist States of America is rapidly falling down through global influence, economic strength, and social standing. It'll be interesting to see what the next global status looks like.

The historical person may have existed. The mythical figure I know you're talking about is a fiction.

Mister Tickle.

Oh, sorry. I thought we were listing our favourite fictional characters.

 

American food safety checks have nearly stopped now that the FDA has been cut so bad|y. They can't even follow up on investigating reports anymore.

Why are we importing and allowing dangerous foods to be sold here?

If you think things are bad now, then, brace yourself: it is about to get a whole lot worse. If you are alarmed at the speed with which the Trump administration has set about dismantling every institution of American government and every pillar of the international order, you must understand that this is not just the initial burst of activity, the “shock and awe” phase after which things will settle down: if anything, the pace will continue to accelerate.

The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person. Whatever the purpose to which he directs these powers – to impress his dictator friends, to further enrich himself and his cronies, to seize absolute power or just to watch the world burn – we must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
