That’s right. We’re just a bunch of babies.
I’m a Woman. So I’m Automatically Anti-Establishment
In case you didn’t know, there was a Democratic debate held on Thursday night between Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The debate was pretty much boring akin to the latest GOP debate without Donald Trump. The most interesting part of the debate came when the topic of anti-establishment politics came up.
There is no doubt that Clinton is the establishment candidate. For some reason, she tries to contend that she isn’t, which is insulting to the intelligence of Americans and anyone observing United States politics. So, just why and how is Clinton an anti-establishment candidate? Because she’s a woman. That’s why.
Here is an exchange she had with the socialist senator:
“Honestly, Senator Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment.”
Uh huh.
What a ridiculous statement. Perhaps, maybe, if she were the only woman running for public office in 2016 then she could be an anti-establishment candidate. But she’s a Clinton, someone who has been in Washington and with the elite for a very, very long time.
After watching the clip embedded below, you’ll probably want to head to the washroom to puke.
Restaurant Shuts Down Because of Millennials, Social Media Fires Back
When millennials are insulted, they only respond in one way: through a tweet.
Emma’s Eatery, a Halifax-based restaurant that has been open for a while, announced that it’s shutting down. In a Facebook post this week, owner Kim Stacey cited several reasons why she’s closing down, but one particular reason garnered the attention of young Nova Scotians and social media. She complained that the poor work ethic of the “frustrating new generation” of workers helped shut down the restaurant.
Stacey opined that her younger employees demanded to be “paid dearly” for working shifts that did not mix with their social activities, smartphone usage and hobbies. This didn’t sit well with those on social media. They blamed her for making poor hiring choices, while others chastized her for blanketing an entire generation as lazy and incompetent.
Syrians Turning Down Housing Options in Canada
Incoming Syrian migrants in Canada are turning down housing options, which is making the search for permanent very homes for Ottawa, according to Carl Nicholson, executive director of the Catholic Centre for Immigrants.
The refugees are often given two housing options, but they turn it down because they want to live with the same people they arrived to Canada with. They often turn down areas where they hear about violence, while others want to be near a mosque. Reportedly, they’re slowing the entire process down.
“They’d like to stick together. “One of the big things they want is, ‘Please, please, please, I want to live next door to this family we’ve been travelling with for a month. Can you arrange that?’ That’s a big consideration for them,” said Nicholson. “They’re in a strange place, it’s new, they’d like to stick together.”
They come from a country that is being bombed to pieces with an oppressive regime. They arrive in a country that has pretty much embraced an open doors policy in regards to Syrian migrants. Others are still stuck in places across the Middle East. Yet, they’re complaining.
The Global Economy’s Death Spiral
Citibank strategists warned Thursday that the global economy is trapped in a “death spiral” that could further weaken oil prices, generate a serious equity bear market and incite a recession. How fun.
The financial institution’s released its report following January’s beating of the stock market and horrid economic data coming out of the United States and China.
“The world appears to be trapped in a circular reference death spiral,” Citi strategists led by Jonathan Stubbs said in a report. “Stronger U.S. dollar, weaker oil/commodity prices, weaker world trade/petrodollar liquidity, weaker EM (and global growth)… and repeat. Ad infinitum, this would lead to Oilmageddon, a ‘significant and synchronized’ global recession and a proper modern-day equity bear market.”
The big banks are really warning us about impending doom this time (SEE: Global bank warns investors to ‘sell everything’ amid ‘cataclysmic year’), unlike in 2008. Should you be concerned?
Obama’s Fleecing of the Taxpayers for Vacations
According to documents obtained after Freedom of Information Act requests were ignored, President Obama and his family charged taxpayers more than $74 million to go on holidays since he took over the Oval Office. The watchdog group Judicial Watch discovered that the president has spent at least $74,124,562.48 to pay for his luxury vacations since 2009.
“Now that we’ve sued, the Secret Service has stopped ignoring our requests for details on more of the costs of Barack Obama’s luxury vacations,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said on Wednesday. “Taxpayers, the U.S. Air Force and the Secret Service are being abused by Barack Obama, who too often treats Air Force One and his security detail like some of sort of kingly entourage.”
Nothing will change. It would be interesting to see if Donald Trump would give the taxpayers a bill for any of his vacations. He has already said he will forego a presidential salary of more than $400,000. We all know Hillary Clint won’t deny those free travels!
What else is new?
