JM Morgan is broadly underweight equities. Expects earnings downgrades, recession in EU & UK. Goldman Sachs expects #lithium supply response will outpace demand. This is a perfect recipe for another perfect storm in global lithium stocks. Maybe a perfect storm in a tea cup ☕️ ? twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Let’s talk about the economy.
You agree: “A logical next step.”
Would you mind if I’m blunt?
“Fire away.”
It’s shit.
“The economy?”
Yes.
“Well, that is blunt.”

You ponder for a moment, then ask, “Is this another of your enemies?”
The economy?
“Yes.”
An enemy to humanity and the biological world?
“Yes.”
I hope, by the time this thread is complete, you’ll tell me.

We’re talking about the supply-and-demand, producer/consumer, deregulated/lightly-touched, invisibly-handed, limited-resource-distributing, market-based economy that prevails across much of the world.

“And it’s all entirely shit?”
Well, perhaps I need to qualify that.

This is your daily pension announcement: the back to the past edition! #ABLeg #handsoffmypension

This article accurately describes this budget speech. It is worth a read. Teck Frontier gets cancelled and Travis can't bring himself to mention climate change once in the budget.
Travis did spend one sentence urging the public sector to "work together" with him to address the poor state of AB finances.

He even said it with a straight face.

Travis how about you un-hijack my pension and then we can talk about working together?
#handsoffmypension #loser
You don't help the public sector want to "work together" when you make arbitrary decisions about joint pension plans. Especially when the GOA makes less than half the contributions.

So, I was asking myself why was it that the #KHURPA @FarooqHKhan sniped at me, out of the blue, first incident going back many years. That was the time that I found he had stolen money from an Institution which had asked him to run a a fake newspaper for them and he shut up 2/
2/ Because he crawled out of his hole again a few days ago, again out of the blue, because I had criticised the #DOLTISH #SELECTED so-called 'Governor of Sindh' for quite stupidly referring to Azad Jammu and Kashmir as 'Pakistan Occupied Kashmir' in a tweet that he copied from 3/
3/ an Indian site quite blindly and lazily. So, I began to think why this #YAHOO chappie was tagging me again. I thought I'd do a little finding out so rang a friend this chap hangs out with at the Defence Club. It turns out that he is from one the two SS Courses that were 4/

This is your daily pension announcement: Red tape for everyone edition!!
Below you will find the great David Climenhaga letting us know how despite creating a "Ministry of Red Tape Reduction" red tape is actually being weaponized by the GOA. #ABLeg #ABEd

Back in the day I served with the Canadian Armed Forces. The red tape reached legendary proportions. So everybody has to love the "get rid of red tape" campaign led by the Muppet Minister Grant Hunter, right? #handsoffmypension #redtape
Only thing is the GOA, as is so eloquently explained by Dave, is not getting rid of red tape but rather using it as a weapon against people and institutions they don't like.

Hmm...sort of like teachers' pensions. #redtape

This is your daily pension announcement: LinkedIn rules edition!!!

Loyal followers, I know I said I was taking a break over the holidays, but the pension hammer keeps falling so I am here for you.

LinkedIn sent me this job ad, encouraging me to apply:
cw.na1.hgncloud.com/aimco/loadJobP…
That gave me a chuckle for sure. I guarantee I would have done a better job "researching" the ATRF business case. I mean, can you even believe the the entire business case is built upon (I quote directly):
#handsoffmypension #AIMCOfail #AbLeg #abpoli
"The investment management cost for ...(ATRF), based on their publicly available information, appears to be 84.0 bps..."

Appears to be? Really? Really? You are going to go with a decision that affects tens of billions of dollars and tens of thousands people and you are going to

This is your daily pension announcement: I was provided with the "fact sheet" that is given to MLA's for constituent meetings. Nothing new in the gaslighting.

Travis, release the business case like you promised a month ago.
#handsoffmypension
I don't want to deal with all the points in the MLA handout. But, I have to because they are just so #stupid

First the title: "Misinformation re: teacher pensions"

You could actually release some information yourself Travis.
"When you look at a 10 year average, AIMCo outperformed ATRF at 9.4% versus 7.4%." #bullshit

Travis is intentionally misleading. Returns need to be risk adjusted to be comparable. These are not.

Do you think this FOIA essentially confirmed Andrew McCabe’s lies @sethjlevy?
I honestly don’t know how anyone could read that FOIA, see the Trump Appointees that we’re involved in responding to McCabe’s lies and then say that the FOIA confirms McCabe’s lies. Just plain ignorant.
Here is President Trump responding to McCabe’s lies against Rosenstein months ago. Trump said in this clip, “Rosenstein did not say that, he says he does not believe that and by the way no one in this room believes that.”

@Paul_van_Meenen Een paar opmerkingen wil ik hier wel bij maken. Een paar maar, maak je geen zorgen, Paul.
1) 1973, een rechterlijke uitspraak verbood wachtlijsten, van het ene moment op het andere kwam er een numerus fixus. Niemand was voorbereid, dus integraal loten. (minister De Brauw, DS'70)
@Paul_van_Meenen 2) 1975, Machtigingswet om het voorlopig definitief te regelen. Staats Ger Klein (PvdA) verdedigde integraal loten, oppositie juist selectie. Amendement Vermaat doorbrak dat: gewogen loting kreeg kamerbrede steun. Kamerbreed. Politici, ken uw geschiedenis.
@Paul_van_Meenen 3) Pais (VVD) gaf @Cito opdracht voor een toelatingstoets geneeskunde. Cito nam die onmogelijke opdracht aan, maar vond het op het laatste moment niet verantwoord hem op te leveren. Juist daarvoor had minister Van Kemenade de stekker eruit getrokken. benwilbrink.nl/publicaties/80…

The Altright is stealthily trying to get Democrat candidates to embrace all sorts of policies policies that will ensure their defeat up against Donald Trump’s brand of populist white nationalist...

Reperations? Really? WTF?

#stupid
Don’t ever forget!

They (White Nationalist) will use, engage, employ, entertain the trappings of tolerance, diversity, of multiculturalism in order to wage war against all three — to set all three on 🔥.
Do Not Be Misled!

1. Hey Mark Warner @MarkWarner remember Nov 29, 2016 when you sent this demand to declassify ? Image
2. Fast forward to Sep 18, 2018 (almost 2 years) seems that you are "Alarmed" that your wish is coming true. IMHO you Mark Warner @MarkWarner are a perfect poster child for what is wrong with Senate. Do you understand just how #Stupid you look - probably not. Best #MAGA wishes ImageImage
3. Mark Warner @MarkWarner do you and your friends #CryingChuck @chuckschumer and #ChiFi @SenFeinstein realize that the Gang of 8 is not even a constitutional mandated entity - you have zero say over this. The supreme power to declassify rests with our #POTUS @realDonaldTrump

Ça vous dit un thread d'analyse d'une case du #LotusBleu, d'#Hergé (1934) ?
Eh bien, c'est ici que ça se passe...
Cette case n'est pas la plus emblĂŠmatique de cette histoire de #Tintin, mais elle m'a vraiment saisi lors de ma relecture rĂŠcente (je fais l'album avec mes 1res)
Il ne s'y passe rien. Mais alors rien. Dans cette planche, on apprend que le japonais Mitsuhirato, dont Tintin a appris qu'il ĂŠtait non pas son alliĂŠ, mais son ennemi, veut faire chanter Dawson, le chef du "settlement" occidental Ă  Shanghai.
