meep
Imma be real pedantic here and I apologize.
Politicians are people. In many cases specifically on the municipal level these are people who have day jobs because they get paid shit as a representative. Technically, people are to blame. People have the power to change the situation. The problem is people aren’t changing the situation.
You’re not anonymous online either FYI.
To expand on this. If you are talking about anything online it is not private. That doesn’t matter if it’s in a WhatsApp chat, a telegram chat, a Lemmy post, a Facebook feed, etc. as soon as it hits a computer if someone wants to see it they will. There’s just hurdles to get it.
If you want anonymity stop using computers.
We are so different. Best of luck on your adventures.
With how PC younger generations are I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not lol
Could have easily said “little dick syndrome”
It’s so disheartening. A true leader would address the problem no matter how complex and instead of proper leadership what we’re getting is the lazy response, and being perfectly clear privatization is the lazy response.
A true leader would have a plan. Throw money to get people in the door to do the support be it nurses or family doctors. We need heads and the easiest way to do that is immediately throwing cash at it. But beyond that, the behaviour of this, and past governments have created this environment and that needs to stop. We need to stop going to war with our public unions and start paying them properly instead of nickel & diming every chance we get. If paying them more means cutting somewhere else or gasp raising taxes then fucking do it.
Furthermore, this is not up to the Provinces alone. The Federal government needs to also start leading and stop fucking the dog and nickle & diming every chance they get.
All levels of government are perpetuating this extremely toxic environment that is leading all western nations to fascism and it’s scary AF.
Potentially however I think what’s lost is people not understanding the complexity of the relationship between Russia and SA. Regardless of how we may feel as outsiders, they have a deep relationship. It’s no different than Canada and the UK.
Never heard of this before and going to check it out. Assuming I can use it with a 2012 Hyundai Sonata I drive under 10k a year I’m a perfect candidate for this.
It’s hard to take away entitlements once they exist, so the only future is really expanding it.
As an Ontarian lol. We used to have provincial eye care coverage. That’s been gone for decades now. Government can and will strip services as they see fit just need assholes in charge.
No joke. Wearing a conspiracy hat I think a lot of our immigration right now is people seeing the writing on the wall in their respective countries and bailing TF out before the wheels fall off the wagon there.
Historically aren’t mortgage payments the last thing a person is going to sacrifice?
I bought for 750k. There is no logical reason why my house would now be worth 900k. So yes, it can tank. By tank I mean stop appreciating at the ridiculous levels we’ve seen the last 10 years.
If housing prices were to completely stagnate or depreciate by 10% tomorrow I would still be even or ahead.
I’ve been in my house for 2 years. Based on housesigma.com my valuation is already up $150k. I could care less if it tanks. Something is severely fucky when they have no idea if/what work I’ve done and my valuation is up that much after 2 years.
The people far smarter than us are the ones that do month over month and not the way you want. I fail to see how you are smarter that legions of economists around the world.
Again, I get what you’re saying. For a layman like you and I it helps our emotions to do it a different way. What I keep stressing is that to those experts there is an intentional reason to not include emotion when analyzing numbers. If you do so you run the risk of making the wrong decisions.
You are free to continue screaming into the wind because the process is different than you would like. I’m simply telling you it isn’t. There are more than likely very VERY good reasons. Better to spend your energy on more productive things.
I don’t disagree with a lot you’re saying but there’s a reason economists use x to x comparisons and that’s because your best comparison for October 2023 is October 2022 not September 2023.
What you’re describing is where, and it sucks saying this because it’s cold AF, numbers don’t care about feelings.
The layman like you and I want to put our lives into context on the numbers we see because we are in the weeds. That’s fine and good and we are 100% valid in feeling the way we do but it doesn’t change the reality that the best comparison for October 2023 is October 2022.
Now again I’m a dumbass. There are plenty better than me at explaining this but as someone currently doing heavy data analysis on a P1 we had at work you do not compare the day of the failure with the previous day because they’re two different days of the week. Processes differ per day. If the issue happened on Thursday I want to compare it against previous Thursdays.
Those “glorious landlords” you’re referring to should have their multiple properties seized or have their financials squeezed to the point of blood. Fuck every last one of them. People have by and large turned into greedy fucks and it’s disgusting.
Can I be one to say that despite all the shit on reddit that was given about the BoC not doing enough, or doing too much… So far they’ve done a damn good job at managing this given the fact that Jesus Christ are we dealing with once in a century issues. I will also give the Liberals props and the OPC props. We know what bad leadership looked like (see Alberta) but by and large most provinces and the country have turned out surprisingly well compared to their global partners.
Yet here in Canada on a global scale we are still prospering and doing well. I"m speaking broad generalizations here. So if you’re not doing well on an individual level I hear you, it sucks and we should be doing better.
Hey another author?! How you doin? Lol
Same as you fuck them.
