    The Trump administration is planning to shutter the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights at the Environmental Protection Agency and has placed nearly 170 employees on administrative leave. "I'm very concerned about the deregulation and the focus on corporate profits," says Mustafa Santiago Ali, the former head of the environmental justice program at the EPA. He resigned in 2017 to protest a Trump administration proposal to severely scale back the size and work of the agency. "Any time that we place profit over people, then we are putting a crosshair on our most vulnerable, our most marginalized," says Ali

    Thank you buddy! You’re one of the few reporters I trust. What people forget is that they can still setup a profit stream before and after retirement - make it part of your budget and you would be amazed how much money you can have during later years (after 75). I have a small TFSA, GIC, and high interest in digital market rolling through my retirement with the aid of a technical analyst. A fundamental knowledge of this strategy is required to prepare one for a convenient retirement I must commend.

      As you know there are tons of opportunities out there and without solid knowledge I can’t decide which is best, but having a technical analyst sounds more like it. Could you please explain further how you this works.

      Does this program take into account the compound growth of the RRSP over time while in retirement? I'm guessing the funds are still invested while they are drawing from them.
