Yeah amen for that and good to remind people we do forget. Or at least I had.

I’m sorry for any losses and thank you for standing up to this corporatist tyranny in that kind of capacity. Seriously, standing for for myself was bad enough I can’t imagine myself, a dream and dependents in that way.

Yeah the abandonment by people everyone, including people you’d helped or gotten along with for years perhaps personally stood up for at uniquely your own risk and helped shut bullshit down by calling it out.

It’s usually so effective but was over a year of deafening silence juxtaposed the Karens from hell and the gaslighting trying to reason with people you already know don’t know a damned thing about civic duties, the way rights work (or used to at any rate in Canada) or the virus or “vax”

Canadians in Quebec (haven’t been anywhere else recently) have been such woefully shameful chicken shits it’s been absolutely revolting

As are the totally corrupt and captured courts here . What the government did to the responsible parents via the courts . Separated Parents who were either unexperimented themselves and or wanting to keep their kids safe we’re denied custody, and/ or visitation for being a “danger” to the child. Anyone who had an ex that was vindictive human debris exploited that for not only full custody but some even as a show of show of force to also vaccinate the kids behind the recently removed parents back I think those are the most heinous examples I’ve read about in Quebec .

Sorry for your stress and loss and legitimate public service in that when the time came you stood your ground and did the right thing for you and for everyone.

Did you manage to hold on to it if you don’t mind?

Thank you so much for your kind words. Means a lot.

I'm lucky and blessed. I've held on. I have taken some heavy loses though.

One of my businesses (my central biz) is B2B. I have over 3k other biz owners who are my clients. It's utter carnage. It's a battle of receivables attrition. Trust is the currency in B2B; it's gone. Slow pay to see if someone goes down. Everyone's doing it. We all know and hate it...and for the most part don't want to screw other biz owners. But, it's come to that. Not fun. Screaming. Yelling. Swords are out.

A tsunami of BK's, defaults, property abandonment, etc., etc. is coming.

Guys/Gals who've been in biz 30+ years are going out of biz. For example; there's a guy that does customized rolled steel who's been in business for over 35 years (was handing it off to his son) that decided to close tent. He's done for good. Where do I go to get his skillset and product?, etc., etc.

Be cautious financially.

I am so happy to hear that you’ve held on I am sorry to hear that it cost you so much.

Embarrassingly I really don’t know what a lot of the shorthand stuff means I’m not business savvy at all and have not had the ability to engage with capital like that in any capacity And for good reason I didn’t deserve or earn it. Anyways I am extremely behind physically due to forementioned reasons which is fine. Be willing to clarify some of the short hand I’d be most grateful.

But given that I must say that I am looking for a job and would be curious to know what kind of places / sectors you think very likely to have people like yourself because ultimately I don’t want to work for anyone who is indifferent during this time or had buddies in the government. I Do you not want to be part of any of this tyranny in any capacity and I do not want to be working in a place where I have to speak lies on a daily basis maybe that’s too much to ask in this day and age given my position and absolute lack of clout but really what’s important for my self-respect is being able to speak the truth and perhaps more than that it’s not being forced to lie and many of the areas that I was formally looking into I just don’t see myself in my book to self respectingly Work there and obviously would like something above the job where I have no voice at all if that makes sense.

I want to work with people who survive despite all of the egregiously illegal ascientific witch hunting and help build some sort of parallel economy to decentralized this stuff. Call me as I have no formal qualifications in many /any areas However I can speak on the spot I can write I can think and I can read and I know how to research and I do not sacrifice my principles for anything and right now I am willing to work harder than ever if it’s aimed towards taking down this crap on level. Insight would be appreciated in terms of what kind of job to maybe look for anything and thank you for considering it.

Slow pay does that mean people actively try to pay as slowly as possible so that if someone goes bankrupt they can avoid paying them what they rightfully owe them? If so that’s fucking disgusting and so anti-entrepreneurial spirit at least and so far as I understand what an entrepreneur is supposed to be.

Do you have any ventures in Quebec?

(PS I am using voice to text right now which is why the grammar might be poor and the words might occasionally be slightly different than the one that should be there ha ha)
