This is Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and like his father, looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels. Since the beginning of the war, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine: $1.4 billion. Over four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times. In April 2022, he saw burned-out agricultural machinery all over Ukraine and called the president of John Deere: “How many combines are available in Europe?” “Fifteen. All of them were supposed to go to Russia.” “I’ll take them all. Ship them to Ukraine.” Then came all the available New Holland equipment in Europe. Altogether, more than 100 tractors and combines have been provided to Ukrainian farmers. Free. He tested de-mining equipment on his farm in Illinois, detonating explosives beneath rollers. When someone asked if blowing up his own tractors to find a solution was worth it, Buffett replied: “Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.” When he heard about the "Superhumans" project, the medical program to provide arms and legs for soldiers who have lost theirs, they asked if he'd be willing to kickstart the program with $1 million. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center. “$14 million" was the answer. He replied: “Okay. Build it.” Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated almost 2,000 wounded soldiers and civilians who have lost limbs due to the war. But his largest area of spending is neither agricultural machinery nor prosthetics. It is food: 642 million meals. He has built, stocked and staffed mobile kitchens that go into areas where civilians, often very elderly, whose homes have been destroyed by Russian bombing. Real help from a person who has no personal motivation to profit from Ukraine. He simply chooses to help.

I’ve been fighting for people for 30 years. I know what it takes to win. I’m running for City Council so I can fight and win for the whole city. Join me on October 17th. This is our city. This is our future. We can win it together. #vanpoli piped.video/shorts/t5Kr1NgHI…

i went to high school with this guy and he and his best friend wore trump hats to school every day from 2015 onward. oh and his bff was a literal nazi. a few of us were contacted by a reporter after we graduated because it turns out he was quite prominent in the online far right

In 2023, Premier @Dave_Eby implemented the most successful #AffordableHousing polices ever in North America. 3 years later the rents continue to drop! This is a Gov't with a proven track record that their policies work! #bcpoli

Doerkson backed the Coutts blockade and border blockades Hes a far right MAGA

I'm voting for Premier @Dave_Eby, a man who has no need to signal his virtues to the world. He just gets the job done! #bcpoli

.@Dave_Eby is the #AffordableHousing Premier. We don't need any more high priced homes that most people can't afford! #bcpoli

The rumour I mentioned yesterday has come true. Lynne Block will run in the riding of North Vancouver-Seymour. The MLA incumbent has been (ahem, gently pushed aside) from her own safe riding in West Vancouver-Capilano to make room for Caroline Elliott. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

None of this is new. We're just "reinventing it from first principles." 🤪 “A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” – IBM Training Manual, 1979

What the heck!

RT @HelloStephano: Read:

Lorne Doerkson is an anti vaxxer who supported border blockades and spk at Freedom Convoy rallies, but hey he has a nice face and seems normal. #BCpoli @Dave_Eby @RickGlumacBC @JasJohalBC @vancolour @CBCNews

RT @Michell39214369: From someone who has sat in both caucuses

Seems the Pasitney family has heavily leveraged their provincial political backing to coordinate public protests and generate online content criticizing federal and provincial government policies. There's some local politicians that need to be removed in the upcoming elections.

Doerksen has a kind face, that's about it. He's supported the 100 Mile Freedom convoy, attending and taking part in their rallies. He's maple MAGA!

RT @HelloStephano: BC Con leader Lorne Doerkson appears to be moderate, pragmatic and likeable but he’s inviting you into his home that is…

RT @SomewhereInAB: 🙄

Listen, if you have to scream “we got ourselves a normal leader!” I’m going to remain suspicious of your true intentions.

Where is media to hold Conservatives to account? Sure, media can't possibly fact-check every asshole on Twitter But they SHOULD at least ask Roman Baber, Michael "the creep" Cooper, or any other CPC MPs that attacked an entire demographic where the fuck their retractions are
