We should just speed things up and fully switch to a modern feudalist system instead of this slow, government complicit, capitalist choking off of the working class. We peasants and serfs could then readily admit what’s really happening, rise up, roll some heads into baskets and take it all back.

Which of course, should cause no one to worry about anything.

I'm not sure where to put this or discuss this. So on Tuesday, there was a leak at Syncrude while they were draining a pipe. Benzene got into the sewer system and was smelled all around the Syncrude Mildred Lake site. At 1am, I was working in the yard and was having stomach issues. #abpoli #oilsands

1.1 million Canadian’s data exposed too.
This is an absolutely catastrophic data breach of an identity verification vendor 150+ million drivers license scans that includes photos, address, license numbers etc.
It includes Pete Hegseth, security researchers, and even the deputy director of the FBI.
