How about we just around kneecapping billionaires, instead?

So, money is speech, is pollution speech too?
Sometimes you get a 63-leaf clover, sometimes you get Gojira.
do the Liberals have any good options to turn things around?
Quit the party and vote NDP.
A liberal is a conservative whose privilege hasn’t been challenged yet.
Ironically, WP for Macintosh was probably the best WYSIWYG word processor in existence, especially since the great Word 5.1->6.0 regression.
Correct. Word’s was page and whitespace only, Wordperfect was nearer to markup, like HTML/XML, you could see bold, italic, font size changes, etc.
Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?
But I’m reliably told that racism isn’t a thing any more.
How some federal employees are pretending to work using ‘mouse jigglers’.
FTFY.
This happens everywhere that managers are more interested in warming chairs than actually being productive:
Boy, imagine if we’d planned for this in the 1980s, like experts told us to, instead of just kicking it down the road because they money was too good?
This would be accurate if they ever cared about neonatal or prenatal health… They don’t.
Infant mortality being sky-high is completely fine. Mothers with no supports, nutrition, or health care? Fine. A baby can die in utero as a result of neglect and they’d say it was God’s will, or rather that it’s God’s will that they not pay taxes for health care.
Ugh…
How did PCs beat out the Amiga, Mac and ST with nonsense like that?
This, although taxing corporate income and capital gains more aggressively doesn’t hurt, either.
“Easy to live with” is probably a a better term. They’re more comfortable and more versatile than a low-roof car, and not gas-sucking, hard to park, terrible handling and hard to climb in and out of like a truck or truck-based SUV.
While I agree with you, there were very few USDM two-row tall-roof cars, and I think the only one that sold even remotely well was the Chrysler Magic Wagon, because the others (the Civic Wagovan, whatever Nissan sold) were gutless.
The cars that really sell well are compact and mid-size crossovers like the CRV and RAV/4. Minivans aren’t quite the same thing, and the US never really got MPVs that crossovers basically are.
I do agree that minivans are almost always better than large crossovers, but they’re not as popular, cost more to make and retail for lower margins, which is why OEMs don’t push them.
The other thing is that people like comfortable cars that are easy to drive. Up until the long/low/wide era of the late 1950s, most cars had high roofs. easy cargo spaces, high hip points and chair-like seating, all of which was sacrificed on the altar of styling.
SUVs brought us back to the easy-to-own, easy-to-drive vehicles of that era, at the expense of being unpleasant to drive compared to cars. That’s where crossovers come in: they’re cars with that tall roof and hip point, but without the body-on-frame construction of truck-based SUV that gets you bad handling, worse ride and terrible fuel economy.
And yes, it’s true that crossovers were yet another way to boost margin, but they’re also better in almost every way than the low-roof cars that came before them, and consumer-oriented design counts for a lot.
Apparently we have:
But can we spend $2M to fix the immediate issue with the Science Centre’s roof? Nope, no money for that. Can we find $6M to fix it completely? Nope. But they can spend $75M on shuttle buses because they don’t want to spend $60M to fix the bridge into the building.
Tell me again how Conservatives are good with money? I mean, other than giving public money to private companies and/or their own pockets?
Yeah, this.
Irving owns NB, and if they want to kill a story or stop the government from looking into something, they’ll do it. I don’t think people outside of the Maritimes understand how bought-and-paid-for the media, the government and most businesses are by Irving.
How much of this is decline at the expense of Windows 11, due to Steam lowering barriers to entry, fatigue with Windows’ hard selling, and/or extending the useful like of hardware that W11 abandoned.
