Quotations from Chairman Maher;
Katherine Maher has a golden résumé, with stints and affiliations at UNICEF, the Atlantic Council, the World Economic Forum, the State Department, Stanford University, and the Council on Foreign Relations. She was chief executive officer and executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation. And, as of last month, she is CEO of National Public Radio. […]
What you notice first about Maher’s public speech are the buzzwords and phrases: “structural privilege,” “epistemic emergency,” “transit justice,” “non-binary people,” “late-stage capitalism,” “cis white mobility privilege,” “the politics of representation,” “folx.” She supported Black Lives Matter from its earliest days. She compares driving cars with smoking cigarettes. She is very concerned about “toxic masculinity.”
On every topic, Maher adopts the fashionable language of left-wing academic theory and uses it as social currency, even when her efforts veer into self-parody. She never explains, never provides new interpretation—she just repeats the phrases, in search of affirmation and, when the time is right, a promotion.
Maher understands the game: America’s elite institutions reward loyalty to the narrative. Those who repeat the words move up; those who don’t move out.
Let her explain more clearly: “Our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that’s getting in the way of finding common ground and getting things done.”

Strip Mining Investors
Perhaps the most drastic change in the recent federal budget is the hiking of the capital gains inclusion rate. This supporter of the change works out the math and finds that effectively treating a capital gain as wage income is just fine with him. The fact that an investor risks the loss of assets if the business fails is, to him, equivalent to the risk borne by the wage earner who gets paid every two weeks and never has to deal with the loss of a dime of capital to sustain the business.
Here’s the text of his X post:
$1 in wages. Top marginal tax rate = 53%.
Keep $0.47. $1 in corporate profit –> 26% corporate tax rate = $0.74 distributed as capital gains –> 50% inclusion rate = $0.37 taxed at 53% personal. All in, roughly 46% tax rate overall. Keep $0.54. Better than wages (and better than interest or dividends).
At 67% inclusion: roughly 52% tax overall for capital gains. So keep $0.48. Close to treatment of wages!

Sun- Trudeau’s budget is a debt bomb
The Trudeau government’s 2024 budget is a tax-and-spend debt bomb financed by borrowed money and high taxation that is going to get worse year after year until the Liberals are booted from office.
Caught off guard by high interest rates, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland delivered a budget on Tuesday awash in a sea of red ink, keeping the Liberals’ dubious record intact of failing to deliver a single balanced budget since they came to power in 2015, with no plan to balance the budget, ever.

LIVE: Boeing whistleblower testifies before Congress about defects in planes
A second Senate hearing Wednesday will feature a Boeing engineer who claims that sections of the skin on 787 Dreamliner jets are not properly fastened and could eventually break apart. The whistleblower’s lawyer says Boeing has ignored the engineer’s concerns and prevented him from talking to experts about fixing the defects.

Paleolithic Math
Who would have thought that smoke signals were evidence of indigenous mathematics. To conclude otherwise is apparently an example of prejudice engendered by enlightenment thinking.
“One interesting example that we are currently investigating is the use of chiral symmetry to engineer a long-distance smoke signalling technology in real time,” Professor Ball says.
To create and understand these signals, you have to be a skilled practical mathematician, Professor Ball says.
“Theory and mathematics in Mithaka society were systematised and taught intergenerationally. You don’t just somehow pop up and suddenly start a chiral signalling technology.

Royal Helium announces Val Marie helium project with Sparrow Hawk Developments. This means Saskatchewan will soon have multiple #helium producers, and a year from now, should be 2/3 on the way to its goal of having 15 helium purification facilities by 2030. I’m guessing we’ll have more than that by 2030.
For those who are not aware, helium production is almost indistinguishable from natural gas production, and requires oil and gas service companies to make it happen. Same drilling rig, same service rig, same lease builders, same facility builders, same just about everything. It’s the “other natural gas,” as it were. And Saskatchewan is aiming to hit 10% of the global market by 2030.
