I’m old: sometimes the cover misrepresents the book, & good books need to be read, no matter what the cover looks like.

Not only I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his idea, outright,
I’d be surprised if any other person in the entire Liberal party had anywhere near the international-financial fight-smarts that he’s got.
Experience-induced-understanding & experience-formed-instincts are Kahneman1-mind ( lower forebrain ), so they are programmed in through seas of imprinting…
It’s like the difference between someone who has the idea of martial-arts going up against somebody who actually-trained for decades: the difference-in-effectiveness is significant.
I know the everybody-the-same socialist-idealists have a religious-problem with Carney because of his career, & his being rich compared with us, but … real competence isn’t in everybody, & if the reward-system doesn’t reward excellence/accomplishment, … then it won’t produce that.
The reward-system in Communist countries rewards non-responsible, non-accountable, party-authority, right?
& that is the result it produces.
I expect diversity-of-intelligence, diversity-of-experience, diversity-of-potential to produce outliers, if the “market” of individual-human-development is working right
( unlike the naive-socialists & the communists, who hold that it isn’t equal-validity among diverse people that we have, rather it is identicality we supposedly have … or the fascists, for that matter, with their “supremacist” delusion disallowing all other peoples from having potential/validity of their own… )
He’s got exactly the kind of trained-instinct needed in this situation.
We don’t.
We need him, now.
( exactly as we needed Jack Layton, but only Quebec understood that, & then we lost they guy…
… sigh …
Minority-governments with the right leader can do awesome good!
Majority-governments … that’s when we need Journalism-with-teeth, to make them more accountable, like minority-gov’ts are, right? : )
( too damn bad the other federal parties are either corrupt ( the right ) or foolish ( the NDP’s weird mixture of accuracy & delusional-idealism ) … Canada’s nearly-bankrupt, thanks to the Liberal Party’s last few decades ( a male version of Kathleen Wynn’s government, has Justin Trudeau been? ), & if we go bankrupt, then we ARE annexed by Trump, helplessly.
We absolutely cannot afford any more financial mismanagement from the feds.

What is coming is the 2nd Depression, not a mere recession.
I don’t know when it is hitting, with Trump being fueled by destructive-chaos itself, but the economic-bubble we’ve been living-in HAS to pop, & when it does, it’ll take 3y to bottom-out, & when that happens, Trump is going to use that economic-hardship to finish eradicating the Constitution from the US of A’s real law.
the plummet begins sometime this-year, I’ve been expecting it for months & months…
but which Trum possessing the US it simply can’t be delayed much longer…
so the 3y bottom-out of the global economy happens in 2028, when Trump needs it to happen, for his finishing his highjacking of the US.
seems to give the right gist of it…
Essentially, IF you have an economy in-which there are 1M people & 1B dollars, & 1-day’s food costs $2,
BUT you then double the amount of money in the economy,
THEN suddenly 1-day’s food costs the same fraction of the total-amount-of-money-in-the-economy, but the number-of-dollars changes, because the relative-value of each dollar has been diluted,
so what had cost $2 / day for food, NOW it costs $4 / day for food.
Inflation.
I’ve read that the total quantitative-easing done during the Biden years amounts to multiplying the amount of US-dollars by 10x.
Which means that each $ should now be worth only 1/10th of what it did at the beginning.
but it has been “held back” by many many many players…
Market-correction has to happen, sooner or later.
All the bogosity in our economy cannot self-sustain perpetually.
Unfortunately, the longer that actuality is fought-off, the greater the hardship when it bites.
So, … probably famines, for many populations, in poorer areas…
Humankind’s choice, obviously…
As was pointed-out in the original Depression:
you can’t start any business because there’s no credit available.
You can’t get credit existing, because there’s no businesses being started.
Catch-22.

- according to those headlines, above, in the condensed-version of the story, what the Zionists are doing to the entire Palestinian population is somehow “not” execution?
& yes, I know that Islamists & Zionists are now competing to represent ideological-rabies through butchery-of-others, but the Zionists definitely are winning, according to rather alot of evidences, including the most-successful extermination-campaign against journalists waged since Hitler/Stalin…
- I’ve seen reports that China used executions to convert unwanted minorities into profitable body-parts…
China simply doesn’t provide reliable statistics, and they apparently had an actual quota system for executions ( like 10k/y, to feed the medical-tourism industry, a few years ago, was what reports were saying )
- We’ve all seen video, by now, of US police executing people in “self defense”, like a man explaining that his ID is in his back pocket, then being told to get it, then being shot 4 times for doing-so… with his girlfriend beside him, & her small child, too…
Do those executions count in these statistics?
Apparently not…
Only formal executions count?
I don’t accept that only “formal” executions really are executions.

Trump & Putin are committed to DESTROYING the hated EU between a pincer of Putin + butchered-Eastern-Europe & Trump + butchered Canada & Greenland.
THEN they get to be the only “kings” ruling the remains of the West, until they die.
They’re narcissist-nihilists, as all “mass shooters” are: they’re just committing their “mass shooting” through legislations, & hitting entire populations with what they’re firing, legislatively.
Pay attention to the fact that the woke EU is competing against both of them for world-significance AND doing-so with anti-Putin/Trump values.
Canada & Greenland stand in the way, that is all, except for the wealth that Trump would gain, through claiming it as his new-possession of the US.
Destroying the EU, though, that’d be “priceless” to them…
No more competitor!!
So, the fascists can make civilization “dance to their tune” even without actually doing anything…
Which demonstrates that they have been allowed too-much power, already.

IF you’re using Google, then it’s probably systematic algorithmic-bubble:
I saw some article which showed what Google was showing different people, for the same search, and it was sickening how polarized the extremes were through Google.
I now use DuckDuckGo.com unless it simply isn’t finding what I’m trying to find, & only then do I cross over to the machiavellian-search side, for a search’s results…
Algorithmically-enforced polarization of humakind, into the only-ideological-terrorism-REMAINS … extreme … is certain, now, for this world.
But at-least money will have been made, while contributing to the extermination of this world’s people, so there’s that, I guess…
/s
bitter sarcasm, at that…
Intentionally enforcing ideological-polarization is contributing to genociding.
& ought be dealt-with exactly as such.

He’s worked himself into a corner, & he HAS to have the spine to carry-through his economic-mass-shooting, now.
it takes 3y, btw, to get to the true-rock-bottom of a Great Depression,
so that should be in 2028, just in time for him to invoke “emergency measures” & remove the Constitution, so he can’t be removed as dictator, anymore…
Psychological-reconfiguration takes time … & that is significant, both in the changes that got him here, & also in the changes from here to where much of the West is butchered
( he wants to destroy the EU in a pincer between Putin & continental-Trump: that is why he requires both Canada & Greenland’s annexation.
Also, once he’s got Greenland, he can confiscate all trade to Canada, & break Canada quicker.
This is “being taken to the secondary-crime-scene” territory we’re in, & politicians are not understanding this.
IF Canada still stands, when Trump falls, in 2031-ish, THEN I expect the total death-toll in the North American War to have been … possibly 300,000,000?
That’s early-next-decade, though. )

Maybe we need to find the spine to auto-lock/auto-ban all such enemy-agent bots.
WELL past-time we did-so.

Weren’t such sacrifices traditionally done into volcanoes?

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=kremlin+targetting+signal+accounts&t=fpas&ia=web
it seems there’s some real mechanism, involved in this…
Here’s the best-quality information I could readily-find…

I second blakenong’s comment that Greenland could simply ban such people.
The fact that they won’t ban such people sends a definite message: that it’s still open to negotiation.
Sometimes hard-lines & hard-walls are required, but some people, & some cultures, won’t learn that lesson, no matter the price??
Here Here: the white-blue-white Russians, fighting alongside Ukraine, against Putin’s forces, they validly are Russian, & they validly oppose Putin’s alignment.
there were Germans who did what they could to grind-to-a-halt Nazism, including some newspaper, too, apparently…
same as there are US-ians opposed to what Trump’s working himself up to ( the rampaging of Canada & Greenland, so as to be able to, with Putin on the other side, rampage Europe in total ).
I once worked with a guy who was from Iran, back in the last century…
He told me that he was at a political-rally, & suddenly something popped/changed in his brain, & suddenly he wasn’t in the population-trance he’d lived all his life in…
… he was among a crowd, all shouting slogans, & shaking their fists, & he had NO CLUE as to why this should be happening…
Having “come to”, he methodically got out of Iran, then…
Culpability/guilt/responsibility gets really muddy, when you’re talking about populations kept in propaganda-trance all their lives, by the local oligarchy…
( this is why Journalism, with a capital-J, which holds objectivity to authority, which makes accountability a real & present thing, is a requirement for civil-rights to endure : )

I believe that either all, or most, world-dominating-species go through this stage, after the industrial-revolutions stage…
Multiply the effect of our action on our underlying-planet by 10,000-fold, without having us go through species-puberty, without forcing us into maturity,
& the result is inevitable.
Whether some subset of humankind can earn growing-up enough, & surviving, isn’t to be decided by our current-established-ignorance/irresponsibility…
Giving-up on future-generations, & just knifing them all in the back, … may be emotionally valid, at the moment, among the privileged West, as it torches its own viability…
but it’s still outright betrayal of future-generations…
& anybody who goes through my comments will see that much of the time I’m guilty of giving-up on humankind…
but while our normal, our default, our current establishment is net-negative, at planetary-scale, that doesn’t prove that this world’s humankind inherently is net-negative, that there’s no subset worthy of living on after we-the-majority-go.
MOST of our kind need to go extinct, not necessarily the entire species, see?

India can’t rival China’s productivity: its culture is too different.
( dad was of India, but Anglo-Indian/British. I’ve more understanding of India’s culture because family talked about it, than most North Americans, but never lived there )
I’ve been told that India is the ONLY country in the world, where bribery is normal to get the government-official to actually do their job, whereas normally it’s to get them to not do their job…
The caste-system’s entitlement conditioning, of the upper castes, compared with the abused-all-the-time lower-caste people…
that caste-system is itself the enemy of Indian competitiveness.
You can’t just stick makeup on some random animal & claim it’s actually some completely-different kind of animal…
The reactions, the instincts are different.
There are books on offshoring work, & the dangers of doing-so, with different cultures…
In Japan there is now a “loud American” job-position: the person there makes certain that the operation doesn’t keep quietly accommodating corrupt-management or wrong-strategy, until they’re sunk/dead: the loud American’s job is to speak what the conforming Japanese want said, but wouldn’t ever say, because they aren’t gaijin.
India’s famous for power-distance: inferiors won’t be tolerated to speak truth to superiors, ever.
That is produced by their caste system.
That isn’t competitive.
It’s deeply cultural.
Modi’s Hindutva India isn’t likely to lessen that, is it?

told people YEARS ago that China was enacting REAL strategy, & it’s still true, now.
( the fact that Chinese corruption undermines their country, & the party-rule system is intrinsically-corrupt, are side-issues.
The fact that their Belt & Road program has been mopping-up opportunity, while the West has been playing petty wrestling-matches over feelings, is going to be costing us our lives, soon. )
