      1. ‘You’ll forgive me if I don’t think about monetary policy’ ~ PM Baked Potato.

  1. Today Dear Leader travels to Alliston Ontario, where he/she will throw money at another battery plant. This time for Honda.

    1. Get your ICE vehicles while you can. At some point gas stations will be converted to charging stations and ICE owners will feel like EV owners – range anxiety. I don’t agree with it, but it’s the next natural step. They will soon ban gas stations in large cities.

  2. BHP makes an all-stock move to acquire Anglo American for $39 billion. Not a friendly deal but it is a 14% premium on Anglo’s current stock price. The timing is linked to a 2 month bull run on copper.

  3. Meta getting punished pre-market for its AI spending plans. Looks like some skeptics are emerging.

    Meta stock down by up to 14%.

      1. He’s not an alien. He’s half-reptile. Look for Meta to try and buy Tik-Tok.

  4. Flashing on BNN-Bloomberg TV just now: 1Q 2024 U.S. real GDP came in weaker the expected; the 1Q GDP price deflator, and its core deflator counterpart, came in stronger than expected. The U.S. economy looks like stagflation in the future.

    Stock prices are way down today. Biden and Trudeau continue to spend like madmen.

    1. “He must have good lawyers.”

      Or he may have been innocent in this case.

      I’ve long been puzzled by criminal convictions based on he said – she said. So, no actual evidence…just which person a judge or jury finds more believable (read: likable)?

      Derek Chauvin needs a new trial as well.

    2. But when an actress says “I will do anything to get that part, and I mean anything” and he asks “will you give me a bj” and she does it, doesn’t that make him a criminal?

      This is the 21st century and MeToo and there is something called toxic masculinity after all, and even worse he is a hetrosexual male so of course if the women didn’t get the acting parts they wanted and they say he is a criminal who should go to jail, he should, right?

      1. “But when an actress says “I will do anything to get that part, and I mean anything” and he asks “will you give me a bj” and she does it, doesn’t that make him a criminal? ”

        Reminds me of the Scandinavian Model (or whatever they called it at the time) where our gutless CPC voted to criminalize the buying of sex but *not* the selling of it.

        “This is the 21st century and MeToo and there is something called toxic masculinity after all, and even worse he is a hetrosexual male so of course if the women didn’t get the acting parts they wanted and they say he is a criminal who should go to jail, he should, right?”

        Naturally. All heterosexual men should be jailed…especially the older white ones. 😉

  5. Feminism has left middle-aged women single, childless and depressed. And Margaret Thatcher and the Protestants are to blame.

    “Where, for instance, does it leave women like me, when we have reached the age of 54, as I have, and find ourselves both single and childless? Hugging the collected works of Proust, or engaging in furtive sojourns to the pub that bring remembrances of things pissed? One in 10 British women in their 50s have never married and live alone, which is neither pleasant nor healthy.”

    Get a cat for fuck sakes.
