TIL: A 1795 court case, Cutter V Powell, established contract law regarding substantive performance. A sailor agreed for a 10 week voyage, but died 7 weeks in. His wife sued to be reimbursed for the time he was alive. The court ruled that no payment be given as the contract wasn't complete.

We've been playing the game against the SJWs' astroturfed and anointed winners who were chosen for compliance instead of competence. That's about to change as their USAID/deep state funding is cut.
"I’ve been telling everyone for decades that what passes for success in Clown World was fake. I knew it for an absolute fact because I saw nobodies, mediocrities, and charlatans becoming stars, celebrities, and millionaires by having one situation after another handed to them for no rational reason that anyone could explain, except occasionally by ethnic nepotism. But even that explanation didn’t, and couldn’t account for much of the fake success.
"But now, with the tip of the iceberg that is USAID exposed, we know why and how these talentless mediocrities, from Neil Gaiman and John Scalzi to Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro, became “successful”, as /pol/ explains."

John Perkins is a former ‘economic hitman’ who wrote about his dark career in his explosive memoir, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. He would convince governments of developing countries to take on massive loans that would leave them shackled to US government and corporate interests. These debts gave Americans the power to control those countries’ politics and economies from behind the scenes.

"That code of conduct stated that contestants could not harass judges or other authors, which Devon didn’t do — and couldn’t do — since he didn’t even know he was entered. But one of the judges posted on Bluesky, in a message provided to The Daily Wire, that even though Eriksen “didn’t directly contact judges or other authors,” his posts were “driving away judges, authors and prospective contestants/members in huge numbers.”
"The background on the situation was first reported by Jon Del Arroz on his Fandom Pulse Substack and was explained to The Daily Wire by Eriksen’s wife, Christine."

The Early Makeup of Upper Canada
~Madison Grant in “Conquest Of A Continent.”
“The country to the west of the Ottawa River constitutes the third major division [of Canada] and was, after the Revolution, known as Upper Canada. Its original population was composed chiefly of American Loyalists who fled there in numbers after the Revolution. The immigration into Upper Canada from Britain was later very largely Scotch, Scotch Irish, and North of England. This is true more or less of all English-speaking Canada, except possibly British Columbia.”
