I see it as the leaking of our current cultural values into the political sphere. It's less important to dress well anywhere compared to how it used to be.

Let this be a lesson for us in the rest of the world. Never get between an American and their treats. If gas is $x/gal, you will be put in a camp.

Knives are fun!
As the saying goes, the winner of the knife fight is the one that dies on the way to the hospital, but in WW1 you're not getting to one, so when you think about it EVERYONE is a winner!

Technically different from a bayonet. They can have knuckle dusters, and usually went to soldiers without a bayonet already. Trench knife imo is just a pretentious word for combat knife, which is a tacticool name used by civilians who bought a cool knife

I liked Winn up until that end. She was otherwise a very relatable (and hateable) powerful religious figure.

Best villain ever. So well acted, so entertaining, and the character has such loathsome convictions. I love when he's around.

It doesn't seem more stable than our CBC's normal tax funded model. Plus it would reduce the number of loicenses needed.

Ya both the required votes (reduced by 2/3rds I think?) and the requirement that the referendum needs to be legally viable/constitutional, have been adjusted by the government to specifically favour the separatists.

Ah ty I might have gotten it confused with Forever Canada's strategy, where I think their plan was to allow for the Leg to also vote on it as a motion?

I do think they'll pass the newly lowered bar for signatures (which was lowered by hundreds of thousands of required sigs for their specific benefit). We also still don't know how the leg will specifically react to it until they have to.

It's been mentioned here but debt/GDP doesn't include non-federal public debt, and it technically treats CPP like a public asset that could feasibly be used in paying back any loan (which we definitely do not and should not treat as doable).

"I can change him" vs "Hire me as a regime writer"
Even JJ doesn't know which one of those he is. Whichever polls better I suppose.

imo JJ believes in video/ad revenue and clicks as much as he has any concrete political ideology. It's not unique to him, but I can't take the guy seriously when I see everything he writes across these different platforms and how the writing shifts to fit the platform demographic.

It's partially distributional. We're entering an over-investment period like the 1920s where people who have money can throw it somewhere and have it pull in even more.
It's also just not enforcing existing anti-trust laws. Governments have been dropping the ball since even before US v Microsoft.

China has done well for its people, but wages and consumption are really low relative to what they make through their labour. They need to continue to re-balance their economy so that the people can afford more of what they create. A 8% diff is massive if your wages are 1/4 for the same US job.

The cheeky counterpoint would be "it was high growth for whom?". My stock portfolio went up 15% year on year min for a while, but if I didn't have a union my wages would be flat. I don't blame people for not believing "economy is good" when every Safeway around turns to FreshCos and Dollar Stores.
