    Could Trump be forced to resign over the Epstein Scandal?

    I'm starting to wonder... It may be that many Republicans had already grown tired of Trump & the Epstein affair is just an excuse to get rid of him. Maybe some think he gave them their tax cut, fired much of the civil service & passed the Genius Act for Crypto Investors so perhaps there is...

    Trump supporters finally realize what they voted for

    If citizens were being screwed over this bad in other countries, there'd be a revolt @LotusBud The abuse of power is so obvious I'm surprised they haven't burned the White House yet.

    But the next video in the previous post doesn't look like it was altered in any way. Those seem like genuine tears @The Question

    Should companies pay a Worker Retraining Tax to address the Massive Job Layoffs due to AI?

    If that be the case, that transition to a new economic paradigm would not necessarily be smooth nor without economic pain @wizer & Lex @The Prowler. Even the most optimistic among the elites have acknowledged this. Elon was once quoted as saying "Hope for the best prepare for the worst."

    But then your share prices/stocks would plummet in value Lex @The Prowler. Because there would be an insufficient number of buyers for the products and services they sell. If there's no demand, there's no sales. If there are no sales, share prices fall off a cliff. Even Elon knows that...

    Well Lex @The Prowler I certainly don't pretend to be an expert at stock investing. At the end of the day I hope to at least BREAK EVEN. I'm down about -$1,000 or so on an $87,000 TFSA. That being said...I've noticed the stocks I bought which have done reasonably well despite market drawdowns...

    Well, I might get one of those older cameras @Holy Holliday ! to learn the traditional methods. There's actually a darkroom/camera club where they still teach the old method. So it might be worth learning. I bought a high end camera for one reason - I wanted to learn VFX - the kind of special...

    Should companies pay a Worker Retraining Tax to address the Massive Job Layoffs due to AI?

    Well Lex @The Prowler, I was planning to start a small business next year in 2026. Partly, it's out of desire to see if it can be done, if I can at least BREAK EVEN. Starting a business is a good life skill to learn. But another reason is I spent so bllinkin' much on this graphic arts 'hobby'...

    Should companies pay a Worker Retraining Tax to address the Massive Job Layoffs due to AI?

    Well that's the next piece in the jigsaw puzzle @RANCIDMILKO ™ ®© Since large companies are no longer willing to hire/retain as many workers like they did in the past & automation has made them redundant this has changed the economy. The employment model which has existed for over 200 years...

    But that's your tax money that's subsidizing large corporations while laying off American workers @Holy Holliday ! I know Canada isn't perfect either and this sort of thing is going on here. But at least the Prime Minister announced a package to retrain middle aged workers displaced because...

    Should companies pay a Worker Retraining Tax to address the Massive Job Layoffs due to AI?

    What I said/thought is the worker AI retraining tax would not apply to companies or individuals who don't use AI to replace their workers just to pad profits @Frederick Essentially what these large corporations are presently engaging in is a form of profiteering. They hired thousands of...
