The collapse of First Brands (it’s not just you, few had heard of them) is *probably* not the pin that pops the current bubble, but it’s entertaining. Wall Street will reliably engage in lethal/suicidal business practices given the chance.
But that bubble-popping pin is incoming.

Those people you see in videos blowing whistles, honking, video recording everything ICE does? They’re not just full-time activists who are used to this kind of thing, who tail ICE all day. They’re random retirees from down the street who heard the whistles and came outside even though the sidewalk’s a bit dicey. They’re mid-career professionals who were on their way home from a long day at work and heard the honking. They’re parents who are afraid their kid is going to be late for their violin lesson but they just have to be out there because this is too important.

Good Morning #Canada
December 8th, 1869, Timothy Eaton opened a small dry-goods and haberdashery business at 178 Yonge Street in the city of Toronto. From that humble start grew a national retail chain that eventually would bring Christmas Window Displays that attracted crowds for 100 years, and the tradition continues today. The heyday for the window displays was the 1940s to 1980s when Eatons and Simpsons competed for children's noses pressed up against their windows. But every store, large or small, had their own creative display in December. In the 1990s retail chains started to falter and disappear and some displays, like those from Woodwards and Ogilvys, were preserved by museums. I remember our annual visit to Eatons and Simpsons on Yonge Street in the early 60s, when Mom and Dad would load up the car with 7 kids and we'd tour the Christmas displays.
