A nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."

Just 32 fossil fuel companies were responsible for half the global carbon dioxide emissions driving the climate crisis in 2024,

Saudi Aramco was the biggest state-controlled polluter

Critics accused the leading fossil fuel companies of

but said the emissions data was increasing…

from anti-DEI to anti-antifa,
and from bombing boats to $400 million bribes,

The U.S. economy is more distorted than ever.
The widening gap between corporate profits and average workers
— between capital and labor
— helps explain the disconnect between a buoyant economy and pessimistic households.
Consumer confidence is in the basement.
The gap was widening before Trump was elected. It explains in part the rise of MAGA and why Trump won in 2016 and again in 2024.
But Trump hasn’t done a thing to alter these trends.
