Board Official Says Farmers Are Getting 100-Pound Lots
----
Farmers from the outlying districts of Montreal have been coming to market here twice a week of the sugar and returning with 100-pound bags of sugar, in violation of rationing regulations, it has been learned by officials of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.
A preliminary investigation has already been made, L. C. Robitaille, local prices and supply representative of the board, stated today. He added that steps are being taken to put an end to this practice which, he pointed out, carries stiff penalties.
It has been a a long-standing custom, Mr. Robitaille pointed out, for farmers coming to market to exchange their produce with jobbers and wholesale merchants various necessities. It was a convenient arrangement for the farmers, but inquiries have shown that a large proportion of them have been coming to Bonsecours, Maisonneuve or other markets in Montreal and regularly returning with nothing but sugar in quantities from one 100-pound bag to several.
According to the sugar rationing regulations, the allotment of sugar is three-quarters of a pound per person per week, he said, so it is quite apparent that many farmers have been hoarding sugar.
"In our inquiry, we we obtained the names of a number of the merchants and farmers who have been dealing in illegal amounts of sugar," he said, "and have given warning that unless the practice stops immediately, severe action will be taken invoking the penalties provided for such offences."

I've been thinking about Bad Parents Jack and Maddie, and how they aren't great even in canon. So like, Vlad actually interacting with them more, as his obsession switches Danny, and just...eyes opening nd falling out of love with Maddie. So he realizes he needs therapy, but as he is what he is and what he has done, well, that makes things difficult. So, Harley Quinn?
I basically almost answered this with a mini rehash of "the Fenton family safety situation is often misrepresented by newer fans who haven't seen a lot of the show" but I mostly realized that wasn't the point, so let me get my act together.
You have activated my trap card, which is "I used to do psych stuff as my main field before I did library stuff", and I can't believe that Harleen Quinzel, known criminal and incredibly visible villain, would still have her license. Like. Even excepting the crime stuff, having her license revoked due to breaking the Hippocratic oath, or straight up having an ethics board boot her personally, I don't think Harley Quinn would have prioritized the NJ medical license renewal. That has to be attended to once every two years. Failure to keep up to date means no practicing in the state of NJ, baby.
If this is happening, Harley is offering services Under The Radar.
Like...probably this is through a service like Betterhelp. Almost no one tracks the actual paperwork for the advisors on Betterhelp. I can see Harley signing on in her pajamas eating ice cream as she gets nostalgic for the life she led when she had stuff going for her career-wise. Vlad, meanwhile, saw a youtube ad and is flinging spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
Anyway, Vlad and Harley sharing illegal psych sessions over Betterhelp while eating ice cream and talking shit is such a visual. I wish them all the best.

Okay, 1) don't knowingly commit a crime, 2) If you do knowingly commit a crime don't film yourself committing that crime, 3) if you do knowingly commit a crime and film yourself committing that crime don't post that video on social media, and 4) if you do knowingly commit a crime and film yourself committing the crime and post that video on social media don't tag your local police department in your post to make fun of them. Because you'll get arrested for committing that crime and your court case will be messy for you and your legal team.

can i just say props for every incarnation of shinjiro making him look so comfy. he probably never got cold. this is why his design is the best out of literally any persona character and should be the golden standard for all protags in media that fall under the big tough guys who are actually softies at heart trope.
i hope in the inevitable p3 reload remake or some p3 spin off 20+ years in the future gives him a puffier jacket. only then will his design truly be flawless.

I napped instead of attending the meeting tonight, but the Excessive Stick Project drama is getting... hilarious. Getting caught in lies and hinting that this shit is shadier than we thought. Which is awful.
Oh and since it’s beginning to look a lot like Shitscram, we should be getting some good/damning articles in the media. If the “charity” side of this family’s activities gets in the spotlight, I’ll post a link. Seriously, if the articles get good enough, it’s worth risking my location being revealed.
I’m still tempted just to photograph those fucking corporate-sponsored vehicles they have. I get unnerved seeing the dead exploited like this. D:
