Bothered Boy

The debate was an absolute shitshow. It was like watching a toddler argue against bedtime. Trump should've had his mic cut on numerous occasions, and was so impossible to deal with that both Biden and Wallace lost their patience with him more than once. It's a sad state of affairs, and a sad state of what passes for democracy in America. Trump came across like a fascist, and it's high time the media start using that f-bomb. There is no "going away" party, or announcement, or signal for the end of democracy, liberty, and a system.

So conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has escalated once again. And while the oil and gas market hasn't reacted (yet), I'm worried about what this means for the regional powerplays in progress, Russian energy domination in Europe, the refugee crisis, and your average worker in America and Europe during a global pandemic.

Apparently a vast majority of Canadians expect a “broad transformation of our society” as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. So I guess a vast majority of Canadians are going to change how they vote in the next election? Right?

Some people may be familiar with the Sophie Scholl story from Nazi Germany, but they might not be familiar with how and why she was arrested...

Apparently "I feel sorry for Americans" is trending thanks to a New York Times article. What bothers me is how they NYT had the audacity to ask "How did a superpower allow itself to be felled by a virus?" The answer to that question is simple for anyone who has truly been paying attention...

I'm not one to tell people how to vote, especially in a democracy. But in a democracy, there are lots of complications and considerations that should be made since an informed democracy is a healthy democracy. It's also not just about our personal values and morals, but our societal values and morals.

This one has been a long time coming. It boggles my mind that the state of healthcare in America is not only acceptable to many, but is even considered ideal and "the best" by others. There are so many healthcare horror stories that have come from America. I'm genuinely surprised y'all haven't burned that part of your system to the ground by now.

So Canada just had a speech from the throne. While some stuff sounds really good on the surface, it requires some scrutiny...

Hey, if the DOJ can just label any city at any time an "anarchist jurisdiction" as an excuse to crackdown and limit freedoms, that's how fascism happens...

Beau hasn't uploaded to YouTube in two days. I guess he's on vacation, which means, as per his instructions, I take over. It's important to have friends and allies you can call upon if you're indisposed.  

(This one is equal parts parody and serious topic.)
