Someone once told me that memos are not to inform the reader, but to protect the writer.

I don’t know of any.

It would be nice to know what country this is.

I left Haiti with no solutions. Many Haitians looked at us (middle class of the developed world) as the cause of their problems - that the stuff we consume and the stuff we waste and the energy we consume results in shortages there. They have no social safety net, bad health care, little food, rampant disease. I don’t know what the answers are, but often when I go to bed without hunger pangs, or enter my huge house (in some places, they took turns sleeping because there wasn’t enough room on the floor for the whole family to lie down), or walk into a doctor’s office, I think of them.

I worked in a hospital in Central Haiti for three years. Children died regularly because they didn’t have enough to eat. A visit to the hospital (which included seeing a doctor, any lab tests, medicine, or x-rays) was $10, a price that many people couldn’t afford. They looked on us middle class like we look at billionaires.

Technically, silicone does not rot. It breaks down into smaller materials but does not decompose into its base components like organic material.

Bones do rot, just more slowly than flesh.

Taking it a step further, why don’t we take the top 1% of the wealthy worldwide and share it with the people. The top 1% would be anyone who makes over $82,640 Cdn. (depending on which metric you use). The top 5% of earners in the world would be anything over $48,000 Cdn.

Hey, thanks. That makes sense.

Yeah, I did the same thing.

That would be the wurst.

The McDonalds breakfast meal in North America is called egg Mcmuffin which is an egg with a muffin. Mc sounds similar to mit, so it’s a play on the two similar sounds.

Flew kites with keys attached to them.

Interesting that in Calgary, the number of frostbite amputations has been declining? Was the winter severe in Edmonton last year? Has there been more homeless move into Edmonton?

That is the best question by a dam site.

There used to be people who were hired to go around lighting the oil street lamps at dusk. Sharpest spoon. lol. Hilariously ironic.

This kind of investment gives me hope that fusion may one day be economically feasible.

ATM’s replaced workers. Self serve gas pumps replaced workers. Self serve checkouts replaced workers. The spinning jenny replaced workers. The light bulb replaced workers. Vending machines replaced workers. None paid taxes.

Not to mention the actual names. “There’s a bear. What should we call it?” “Well, it’s black. Let’s call it a Black Bear.” “How about that one? It’s brown.” “We’ll call it a Brown Bear.”

How is this calculated? The Canada/U.S. car industry is very intertwined. Many parts travel back and forth. Who gets credit for producing the car?
