People in BC are having an affordability trouble as well.
Most of this was ok except the motte and bailey gaslight with the WEF.
It’s perfectly reasonable to dismiss those wackadoodles that think the WEF will create “15 minute lockdown zones”, those people are stupid.
But the way this article phrased the WEF situation muddies the conversation and equates all people skeptical of WEF as some sort of tinfoil hat MAGA nut.

Here is a video of a recent WEF conference where they discuss how bosses can use brain scan technology to improve worker productivity.
WEF is akin to Elon Musk style corporate, for-the-rich-and-screw-the-workers style fuckery.
Legitimate skepticism of the WEF shouldn’t be conflated with that of MAGA nuts and its not productive for journalists to skim past this concern without addressing it. All that does it create further resentment and distrust towards the media and cause people to view journalists as part of the establishment.
Not acknowledging the difference between these two groups will cause the reasonable people to be carried into the alt right pipeline.
I don’t think you should assume that without knowing.
