Why.

Indeed.  Why do Communists even have money?

The far left is not so much about that workers stuff anymore. They are a bunch of privileged abled people or something.

That became quite clear in Canada, when the left-wing party embraced a platform of wiping out the oil and gas industry, together with the hundred thousand blue collar working jobs that go with it.

You are getting as bad as Viper.  What left-wing party "embraced" wiping out the oil and gas industry?

Also Omarosa!

The NDP. Not to defend BB to much but they did that.

The NDP and the Leap Manifesto.

They want the oil and gas industry to be extinct by 2050.

No they agreed to consider the manifesto.  It is a blood bath here in BC.  The NDP are ripping themselves apart over the issue.  McLeans even had a cover story on it entitled - how to kill the NDP.

That is what I thought you were talking about.  Far from the NDP  "embracing" the manifesto the closest they came was to vote to consider it.  There was a huge amount of disagreement among the delegates about even going that far.  And for good reason.  It is a very divisive issue which pits the unions against the environmentalists. With a year to go before the BC election the timing could not be worse for the NDP here.

<rant> Walked into a Louis Vutton for all of three minutes out of curiosity, because I'd never been in one before, and I practically ran out in a panic of confusion and disgust, with my sense of hope for the human race and the possibility of peace and equality on earth lying beaten up and tattered on the ground. I think it had something to do with the woman there promoting the small LV bag shaped vase with fake flowers in it as a Mother's Day gift for the unthinkable price tag of $6,000. Six fucking thousand dollars. I love my mom, and I know that she would be horrified, as I would hope all mothers would, if a child of theirs spent that much money on such a frivolous object while so many mothers' children in this planet starve. It blows my mind and saddens my heart how these two realities are possible. I'm not saying one should not occasionally indulge in nice things or experiences to take care of oneself and ones body and experience joy and pleasure. But there's a line, somewhere, I don't know exactly where, where indulgence makes me so angry I want to throw up. Thanks for listening </rant>

That mom probably wasn't horrified when her husband laid out that much for a shiny hunk of frivolous geology.

[CountDeMoney]

That is an absolutely atrocious PowerPoint.

She should've used "e.g." instead of "i.e."
