π¨π¦ is falsely framing a prominent journalist as an asset of Russia.
It's a malicious lie to discredit @davidpugliese, who has a 42-year track record of exposing embarrassing gov lies.
A short list of the work π¨π¦ is trying to hide.

2/ π¨π¦'s military used the pandemic to test its propaganda techniques.
In 2021, David exposed the military conducted an "info" sharing exercise against the public without any official authorization or request from the Fed gov.
ps if youβre about to give me the βGov knows more than youβ lecture, youβre new here. Welcome!
First, ponder why a former RCMP director was perplexed how we figured out the money laundering players before intel, why it wasnβt isolated, & who regulators ask to find stolen shit.
Okay, π¨π¦. I need you to look past the left vs right BS for a sec. You don't understand how hard you're being screwed.
In a few tweets, you'll understand gov finance better than most politicians. You'll also see how f*cked up Ontario's corner store liquor deal is.

2/ Rushing the deal means taxpayers will shoulder an initial bill of $1b.
If paid in cash, that tax revenue is equivalent to 111k families working for a year. Imagine the whole city of Windsor going to work for a year. All to pay that bill.
But ON is broke, it has little cash.
3/ When ON spends excess money, it has to run a deficit. It'll try to get the federal gov to pay some (read:taxpayers everywhere), and borrow the rest.
But let's say ON will borrow the whole amount. Last bond was 3.8% interest, so add another 51k families to cover interest.
High home prices will come down if more is built. Simple supply & demand, right?
Thatβs one of the biggest lies ever repeated.
Letβs talk about home prices, monetary policy, and how greasy f*cks tricked the normies into advocating for their own exploitation.

2/ first, letβs clarify something about monetary policy. The central bank exists to control the decay of money, aka inflation.
The key policy rate is their primary tool, influencing other lending rates. If inflation is below target, theyβll lower rates to stimulate borrowing.
3/ bluntly put, credit (aka debt) is a purchase made today with future income. Future economic activity is borrowed to stimulate the current activity.
Future buyers get pulled forward to compete with current ones. The goal is to intentionally overrun supply for inflation.
π¨π¦βs rolling out 30-year mortgages to βhelpβ first-time buyers get a home.
This is actually a form of liquidity injection called capital cushioning.
Itβs not about affordability. A similar plan was used by the πΊπΈ during the financial crisis. Is this a crisis? π€
<thread> π§΅π
2/ first off, letβs fix what youβve been told about the πΊπΈ housing bubble.
a common myth is poor people with subprime credit f*cked up. In reality, poor people have nowhere else to go so they paid their bills through negative equity.
When youβre poor, everyday is a recession.
3/ the real foreclosure surge was actually high credit quality investors that went to subprime lenders for more leverage.
When shit hit the fan, they just walked away. It was investors that were really the problem.
