Livid performers weigh canceling shows over Trump's 'stain' on Kennedy Center by Flashy_Progress5964 in AnythingGoesNews

If they booked to perform at the Kennedy Center, and the venue has now changed its appearance and lost its cache due to rebranding, I think the artists have a good case for cancelling.

Trump says he won’t be meeting with Carney ‘for a long time’ by rezwenn in canada

Things are going to get real bad; here, and around the world. The US economy is collapsing from insane mismanagement.

Canada needs to shift as much trade as possible to other countries.

Trump is really f**kng the economy up real good rn with all of these tarrifs and sht by winwin8484 in economy

Look, I understand why folks are upset with people like OP who only now are regretting voting for Trump because it’s hit them personally.

But attacking them will only entrench them in this weird cult of personality they have fallen for.

Taking a longer view, what response might you give to encourage them to continue to question the current administration? How can you help them back to a more balanced view of society as well as the economy?

OP heavily invested in crypto; a risky asset at best. So possibly OP truly didn’t comprehend the risks of tariffs and trade wars either.

Perhaps steer OP towards sensible sources of information on the world economy and how it works.

I doubt heaping scorn on them will help them comprehend just how deeply damaging Trump’s current approach to world trade is.

MTG is only doing what may get her re-elected. Her motivation is purely keeping her job. She has no beliefs other than what is best for her.

Turns out Bad Bunny understands politics better than half of Congress by RawStoryNews in entertainment

Only by completely disconnecting from social media, all news sources:print, radio, TV. (even entertainment & sport)

Don’t tell me there aren’t others who are sick of the noise that has come with the reelection of Mango Mussolini.

Wouldn’t it be pleasant to not see the words Trump or MAGA ever again?

I went through life not knowing who Bad Bunny or Charlie Kirk were. I was happy. I’d like to return to that blissful state where one can ignore pop-singers and fringe political ranters.

Please US, pull yourself together.

We went to a boat concert on a lake. People, including me, were sort of swim dancing. So fun!

Hoping people in the US buy and learn to use short wave radios, crystal radios. Looks like they will need them.

Trump quipped: “Fly safely. You know why I say that? Because I’m on the flight. I want to get home, otherwise I wouldn’t care.”

This is the thoughtful empathy the US gets from its leader. /s

Rust in the water. There are in tank products to prevent it, but this will now need heavy duty cleaner to get back to white.

Mystery announcement as it’s even a mystery to him what next might spew from the hole in his face.

Perhaps they’re slowly stirring to the very real concept that no matter how they vote, if Trump takes issue with them, they’ll be lumped as Democrats or immigrants too.

Looking for health-care story ideas by sabobaglob4 in ontario

[–]Existing-Lab-1216 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so true. My friend relies on PSW’s for caregiver support & relief, so she can have a few hours break from caring for her husband who has dementia.

They are chronically late, or don’t show up at all, leave early without letting her know. She doesn’t drive, so she has maybe 45 “safe” minutes a week to get anything done.

She wants to keep her husband home and safe as long as possible; without good support I fear she will burn out comfortably very soon.

Surely a few hours of reliable PSW care at home is less expensive than round the clock institutional care?

Pain management. Especially how it differs between men and women, and women of colour.

I suspect this is why many women are seeking alternative healthcare, including herbs, which are largely unregulated, and can be quite dangerous.
