Interesting, the situation mirrors Humpty Dumpty, the wokesters are never going to get their market share back.

Visa and Mastercard and a growing list of retailers suspend operations in Russia

https://nationalpost.com/news/world/life-after-ikea-a-running-list-of-retail-closures-in-russia

You wanted a global economy?  Now you are probably going to pay the price as corporations start to take sides in the the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Woke attitudes are going to hurt your markets and alienate the average Russian driving them into the hands of Chinese competition.  I know it makes the management feel like social justice warriors to beat up on the Pillow Guy but denial of service to a entire country will end up with surrendering market share as they realize that foreign banksters are causing their problems. Question: does that mean they don't have to pay their accounts?

We had a similar situation develop in Canada where we discovered that the Federal Government would use denial of service, in this case, your bank account being frozen if your didn't support the government's ideology.  

You can only be a social justice warrior if you are a monopoly.  I say that as I listen to Stroppy on Rumble.

Having a very fit friend who came down with myocarditis after getting his last RNA shot I take this risk very seriously.

This has to go on the record because it is beyond stupid.  We have tremendous problems in our universities.  There may not be a solution.  Hemingway will be rolling over in his grave.

The Government From Hell

https://pjmedia.com/columns/david-solway-2/2022/02/28/the-government-from-hell-n1562382

Yes, we are in trouble here in Canada.  Our vanity and smugness about how good we are has lead us down the road to ruin.  Where are the strong Canadians who built the country?  We are now a nation of snowflakes who need the government to save us from everything and in doing that we have lost our freedom and our strength.  Enjoy the essay.

Canada State Media Claims Trucker Convoy Left Ottawa Residents Suffering from “Trauma” due to “Phantom Honking” – Yes… Really

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/gone-honking-mad-canada-state-media-claims-trucker-convoy-left-ottawa-residents-suffering-trauma-due-phantom-honking-yes-really/

Everyone is watching the Ukraine.  I was wrong in thinking that Putin and the Russians would not degenerate the situation into a kinetic war.  This must be a weakness in my Weltpolitik view of the world.  At the same time I came across this article in Gateway Pundit about the snow flakes that live in Ottawa, the most insulated (politically) place in Canada.  They have PTSD?  All that can be said is thank gawd the Russians don't covet our country.  Unlike my father's generation we would surrender at the threat of horns.  Come to think about it that is biblical.
