Dad of 7-year-old with rare condition 'very scared' as Ontario family can't afford $300K annual treatment
Cena Hermus, 7, was two years old when she was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening disorder that causes severe obesity. The medication she needs costs around $300,000 annually, something the family, who now live in Hamilton, say she can't afford.

Musk Has Triggered A Corporate Deregulation Bomb

A #Delaware bill would award #ElonMusk $56 billion, shield corporate executives from liability, and strip away voting #power from shareholders.
levernews.com/musk-has-trigger

"If lawmakers don’t enact the #law, which was written by Musk’s own lawyers, the billionaire mogul and his allies are threatening a mass exodus of companies out of the state."

Looks like we should all be contacting Oooh media.

Ooh media refused the anti-coal & gas ad but accepted the anti-renewables ad.

BTW, that Advance sponsored ad which Newcastle Herald "took down" recently, was actually taken down at the end of its paid run. Not because of the negative backlash at the disinformation. 🤬

WIRED · Elon Musk Has Wanted the Government ShutdownBy Jake Lahut

Elon Musk has wanted a #government shutdown in part because it would make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers.

“You know none of this is about saving #money, right?” says a #Republican familiar with the behind-the-scenes push from #Musk.

“It’s all about destroying a liberal power base.”

Study: Popular Low-Income #Broadband Program Killed By Trumplicans Saved Taxpayers More #Money Than It Cost

"The FCC’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was unsurprisingly very popular... (the majority of ACP participants were in #red states) & [the #GOP] didn’t want #Dems to use it as an #election season issue...

...the $7-$8 billion annual taxpayer cost of the program generated between $28.9 & $29.5 billion in savings"

Benn Jordan does it again: “You are witnessing the death of American capitalism”.

Great video, great insights. Rings true, with all that’s happening around us today. The Great Techbro Takeover is real, and it’s because once you accumulate enough wealth, money in itself ceases to be an important measure of wealth.

It’s a long watch, but a good one. Please check it out.

Yeah, slow/late payments from clients is a pain in the arse. Nothing I like doing less than chasing up payments which take ages to land.

"Larger businesses are taking longer to pay small businesses, dragging out payment times from 30 to 90 days, or more. With business-to-business payment defaults more than doubling in the past 12 months, this puts significant strain on cash flows, making it more difficult for SMEs to stay afloat and meet their financial commitments."
