Congress could, at any time, stop this shitshow by telling Vought to end the RIFs and impoundments.
It has very clear institutional reasons to do so.
But obeying to Trump rules all,
and instead the Speaker of the House will pretend he does not know what is happening
while opining on Bad Bunny."

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts? MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

We need the French concept.

A convex polyhedron without Rupert's property
A three-dimensional convex body is said to have Rupert's property if its copy can be passed through a straight hole inside that body. In this work we construct a polyhedron which is provably not Rupert, thus we disprove a conjecture from 2017. We also find a polyhedron that is Rupert but not locally Rupert.

Yes, refineries do need repairs after Ukraine blows them up.
But they don’t want to admit that. ⛽️💥

Gaussian Approximation for Two-Timescale Linear Stochastic Approximation
In this paper, we establish non-asymptotic bounds for accuracy of normal approximation for linear two-timescale stochastic approximation (TTSA) algorithms driven by martingale difference or Markov noise. Focusing on both the last iterate and Polyak-Ruppert averaging regimes, we derive bounds for normal approximation in terms of the convex distance between probability distributions. Our analysis reveals a non-trivial interaction between the fast and slow timescales: the normal approximation rate…

Long post! #immigration #TFW #BC #CanPoli #CdnPoli #BCPoli #University #ForeignWorkers
I’ve been looking for hard numbers on foreign workers/international student workers. This story on cuts at Coast Mountain College in Prince Rupert surprisingly included examples!
As of March 28, 2025 (presumably in Prince Rupert):
McDonald's: 50 of 80 employees on temporary visas
Safeway: 50% of its 78 staff
Save On Foods: 35%
Tim Hortons: 30%
Skeena Taxi: 60%
Chances Casino: 55%
Crest Hotel: 35%
Three other local restaurants were 100% per cent reliant on temporary foreign workers.
— I want to make clear — I am not 'anti-immigrant’ — I am anti-business using cheap, exploitative, labour.
I am also against public universities/colleges (and thus government) relying on exorbitant tuitions to fund domestic programs, also admitted by a former President of CMC here!
"“Pursuing international students was a strategy developed when I chaired the board at Coast Mountain College," Prince Rupert Mayor Herb Pond said. "It wasn't a money grab, but rather a tactic to build out a broader offering of courses for the sake of local students. Pond added that he suspects the restrictions on foreign students will limit what the college is able to offer to Prince Rupert students.””
Governments and public institutions thave gotten drunk on international tuition to pad education budgets just like businesses have got drunk on high profit margins from hiring low-cost TFWs and raising consumer prices!
It's a money grab on both ends and in the middle are exploited immigrants and young Canadians looking for work.
"Many businesses struggle to recruit residents or convince Canadians from other regions…resulting in heavy reliance on international students and temporary foreign workers to pick up the slack."
This is a Business-Industry lie! Try applying for a minimum wage job! It's damn near impossible.
Con/Lib Government did this!

Rupert Murdoch, the 94-year-old media baron whose fortunes have risen in tandem with Trump’s political ascent,

Trump denied sending the message, calling it a “fake,”
and last month he filed a $10-billion defamation suit against Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co., Murdoch and …
