I didn’t miss it, I interpreted it differently than you. Let me explain.

There are two main aspects to this story. 1) Tr conned The People out of the tax revenue they were rightfully due, and 2) that he misrepresented his business abilities. /1

@mhbx I don’t think it’s wrong for someone to want to keep what they earn, I have a problem with the tax avoidance industry to which the govt gave life. /2
@mhbx I think the system is the parasitical con by unnecessarily siphoning resources from our economy. The 1% paying the 1% to navigate the complexities created by bureaucrats, doesn’t help the poor. /3
@mhbx As for Tr’s business abilities, self promotion is a skill that’s necessary for any entrepreneur. The article paints a picture of someone who used that skill to manipulate people’s buying decisions. /4
@mhbx Tr sells things that people don’t have to buy, like condos, golf memberships, ties, etc. Getting people’s attention is the first step to getting them to buy, and that’s what self promotion is all about. /5
@mhbx With relatively few exceptions, people were pleased with the products they bought from him, and the vast majority of his employees spoke highly of their experiences. /6
@mhbx I believe that the professional ruling class and the capitalists who symbiotically support them, have conned you into believing that Tr is something that he’s not. /end

Ivor Cummins has been wrong (or lying) almost entirely throughout this pandemic and got paid handsomly for it.

He has been wrong (or lying) so often that it will be nearly impossible for me to track every grift, lie, deceit, manipulation he has pulled. I will use...


... other sources who have been trying to shine on light on this grifter (as I have tried to do, time and again:


Example #1: "Still not seeing Sweden signal versus Denmark really"... There it was (Images attached).
19 to 80 is an over 300% difference.

Example #2 - "Yes, I'm comparing the Noridcs / No, you cannot compare the Nordics."

I wonder why...

Example #3 - "I'm only looking at what makes the data fit in my favour" a.k.a moving the goalposts.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
