Thread open. Sorry about the slowdown here, I spent 4 of the last 6 days on the road driving to St. Louis, Missouri and back. Things will begin to ramp up in the morning.
Meanwhile, in Hillary-land
$19T? Phaw.
Trump will eliminate US debt in eight years.
It would take half of the budget every year ($2T), would require massive lay-offs in government, massive changes to entitlements and a complete shutdown of pretty much everything else.
That’s okay though, cause he’s going to “renegotiate trade deals and renegotiate military deals”…in his first 100 days….

Sorry for the lack of content. It’s too nice here to spend all day on the computer.
You ever notice?
That no one ever talks about the 17 year NDP monarchy in Manitoba quite like they did the PC monarchy in Alberta?
I wonder why that is?
The fool, or the fool who follows?
Well, it’s not like the examples from every country in the world with these ridiculous internal tariffs wasn’t enough warning.
It is pure industrial suicide. David Cameron’s government is now considering what it can do to help the steelworks. He ought to have thought it all through more carefully before signing up to Ed Miliband’s Climate Change Act.
Oh, hello, PM Trudeau, Premier Wynne.

Didn’t Debbie W. Schultz already promise her the nomination by now?
Just put this habit on.

They can afford to leave.
Wealthy mainland Europeans are migrating too.
Rising tensions in France, especially in Paris following a series of Islamist terrorist attacks in 2015, have spurred an exodus of its super-wealthy citizens, a new report on migration trends of millionaires and high-net worth individuals across the world reveals. The report warns that other European countries, including the UK, Belgium, Germany and Sweden “where religious tensions are starting to emerge”, will also see similar trends.

Promise Made, meh, what Promise
One of the reasons, Premier Brad Wall is so popular, and likely to remain Premier on Monday, is because he keeps his promises. As opposed to that young man leading Canada.
Hey, let’s move to electronic voting!
Or maybe not.
Granted, the story is more about directed attacks at opponents rather than the voting infrastructure, but, then, voters are opponents too.

Minimum wage increase and Obamacare killing off the Seattle Housing and Resource Effort. No matter how many times it’s tried, an increase in gov’t mandated social experiments always hurts those who provide and those who receive social services from outside the scope of government, be they Church organizations or lefty NGO’s
MOVE TOWARD $15/HR WAGES AND INCREASE IN PAYABLE WORK HOURS: Believe it or not, SHARE staff–who work hard for subsistence wages–were beneficiaries of this excellent community mandate. This year we must raise our wages to $12/hour AND we took an organizational decision to increase the payable number of work hours (to 38, from 30). This, coupled with increase health care costs, represents an additional $70,000 to SHARE. (Note, the City did cover the basic dollar-an-hour increase in our 2016 contracts, and we’re grateful for that. We still have more than $40,000 to raise, though!)

Hillary Clinton to be Interviewed by FBI Director Comey in Coming Days.
Shuster finishes his report this way (emphasis mine): “Because there is now every sign the Clinton email investigation is quickly headed towards a conclusion, whether it’s her exoneration or indictment. In terms of timing, sources expect the conclusion to come in weeks, not months. And they add that Hillary Clinton’s interview with the FBI, which could come in days, could be crucial.”

China Stops Building Wind Turbines Because Most Of The Energy Is Wasted.
“Even though China will not approve new projects, the scale of existing wind power installations is huge, leaving the grid struggling to cope with it,” Xie Guohui, an analyst at a Chinese think tank, told the environmental blog InsideClimate News Monday. “In the best-case scenario, this policy will help China’s wind power curtailment maintain the same level as it was last year.”
