I think these phrases can also help if you are a person, like I am, who ruminates in unhelpful and damaging thought patterns.

Some of us think and agonize too much in an unhealthy way and definitely need ways to shut it down.

I can’t really stand this guy’s voice so I skimmed through the video.

I couldn’t find if he addresses that there could be a plausible explanation - Governments only retain emails for a set amount of time.

What was the retention policy for the emails? The program was started in 2008 - this means we’re 16 years past the start date where it looks to me based on a very quick google that most US government emails only need to be retained for 7-15 years.

Isn’t it always?

Have you considered that the economy is a lagging indicator meaning it can take years for any policy good or bad to take effect?

Obama inherited bad fiscal policy. Trump inherited the economy that Obama put into place with his policies guiding America through the recession. That’s why the economy under Trump was “good” Covid, major war, supply shortages, inflation got us here. Biden has spent the last 4 years turning this around but it is an uphill climb.

I wonder if the Trump campaign is asking him to self-destruct because of the recent polling that his candidacy hurts Trump more than Biden.

A long shot theory but my only explanation as to why he’d say this.

He knows he can’t so he needs to pick some distractions.

I know I was being sarcastic. Sikh separatism isn’t a crime in Canada.

They’re free to pursue any criminal charges they would like, that are bound by international law.

Instead, they sent hired goons to kill Canadian citizens. That’s not ok.

Gotcha state-backed goons aren’t criminals in his definition. Well, that clears everything up then.

Step 3b. Kick out Al Jazeera, the (only?) news organization still reporting from the ground that would be critical of what you’re about to do

This sounds like dementia.

Here.

I should mention this link is from a tax firm almost glorifying the way that ikea has structured themselves. It’s a very charitable reading of the situation.

Just google IKEA tax, there’s tons of sources on their alleged tax evasion, including it seems claims by the EU that the Netherlands facilitates it.

I see this as corporate greed pure and simple. There is no reason people should be starving and unhoused while IKEA dodges taxes.

And they don’t pay taxes, apparently. So yeah we’re getting cheap furniture but I do wonder if the net benefit to society would be better if they paid tax.
