A brief critique of New York Times' report that "#MeToo Brought Down 201 Powerful Men [and n]early Half of Their Replacements are Women"

New York times reports on Tuesday 23 October 2018 that the #MeToo movement brought down 201 powerful men, 54 of whom were replaced by women.

Map of Ontario ((c) Google)

I have just been informed by a friend in Toronto about the Government of Ontario's legislation (Bill 5) to slash the city council by reducing the number of Councillors from about 46 seats to 27. The intention, I was told, is to reduce the cost of government (from preliminary calculation pegs the saving at about 25 Million Dollars).

RE: ASIA ARGENTO, THE ACCUSED, THE ACCUSER AND THE #METOO/ FEMINISM HYPOCRISY! (a short rejoinder)

Asia Argento with her alleged under-aged victim of sexual exploitation

When the accuser becomes the accused, should we sacrifice the new accuser because he is no female, despite his being a "minor" at the time of the incident? Why is the #metoo silent on the most part or spinning the narratives to justify the incident?

Two Different Love Stories, Two Ladies, One Man: The Story of an Uber Drvier, His Wife and His Ex-Girlfriend, Part 2

It appears that the love story of Mr. Greg is not ending any time soon as both his wife and ex-girlfriend have continued to assail the social media with their stories.

She further added that Greg would go in hundred folds every pain he made her go through. Greg's wife on her part is however playing the mature and the pacifier urging the ex-girlfriend to stop posting her supposedly trash story on social media, while subtly impugning the credibility of her (the ex-girlfriend's) account. Below are excerpts of their continued  stories:

Death Knell to TPP, Boost to Trade Multilateralism!!!

The TPP is officially dead following the withdrawal of United States from the trans-regional trade deal after much rhetoric about regional and bilateral trade deals by the US President. As a matter of fact, the State-parties to the agreement agreed in the course of the TPP negotiations that the agreement would not be enforced unless both US and Japan ratified the agreement. Therefore, with Trump's executive action, the TPP is dead.

Heartwarming pictures of world leaders who still act like everyday citizens

Leaders are meant to be close to their led. Thus, they should be seen mingling with the population because they were once led before they became leaders. Also, only by being led can someone translate to a leader.

It is therefore heartwarming when a leader shows that he or she is still part of the society, but more heartwarming when this done with a pure intention other than to curry favour from members of the society.

Below are some of the fascinating moments caught on camera.

TIPS TO AVOID LOSING YOUR JOB AMIDST ECONOMIC DOWNTURN OR RECESSION

Many countries are currently facing economic downturn, amidst commodity price rise, especially countries with great dependency on revenue from oil exports. Such countries include Nigeria, Brazil, Russia, Venezuela, and Greece, to mention but a few. However, the cause of the downturn is not monopolized by the plunge in oil prices, as some non-oil exporters get featured in the list.
