The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, let us die in Maui fires, devastated our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence

I always thought that working in tech would be a high demand field, but what I never anticipated is that the pool of jobs I'm interested in will dwindle because they don't align with my ethics. Advertising, cryptocurrencies, and AI seem to have sucked up all of the VC money. 😞
I'm fortunate to be employed right now, it must be very stressful for principled people who've been laid off recently.
Premier Ford will pay Molson Coors and Anheuser Busch MILLIONS to break a 10 year contract 16 months early in order to speed up 24/7 alcohol access in #Ontario gas stations & corner stores.
Many people think that the Beer Store is owned by the province of Ontario, but in fact it’s owned by a consortium of brewers.
🙄 #DougFord is paying this consortium $600 million of our tax dollars to cancel the existing contract prematurely so you can buy #beer anywhere.
