Hello all. I am a sketcher, trying to capture the strength, love, madness and chaos of the 'reality' I see around me.

Why does it cost 30% less to maker cars & car parts in Canada?

(talking labor cost, all in, w/ benefits.)

The difference is that in Canada, #pension, #healthcare, & #unemployment, etc., all the "benefits" are covered by the #government rather than the #employer.

Maron cited the streamer's decision to continue working with Dave Chappelle despite the comedian's history of anti-trans jokes as the "pivotal moment," explaining: "When they had pushback from the trans community about Chappelle, they realized after several days that that community was not going to affect their bottom line at all. And they cut 'em loose. That is how fascism works in business."

"While the historical industry attacks on the NRC put self-interest above public safety, the agency, after its accommodating responses, didn’t come out looking good, either," writes former commissioner of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Victor Gilinsky ⬇️
Congress takes aim at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission: ‘It’s déjà vu all over again’
There are a lot of things wrong with the NRC but being too aggressive on safety is not one of them.

Do people just not do any research and assume less parking means less business? Studies have shown again and again bike lanes are good for business, if you have studies saying otherwise I'd love to read them.
