'cause fuck you, that's why!

TL;DR - The document discusses the results of a universal basic income (UBI) trial in Canada, which was conducted in Southern Ontario between 2017 and 2019. The trial, which was cancelled prematurely, showed that participants experienced improvements in mental health, housing stability, and social relationships, as well as reduced visits to hospitals and doctors. The UBI payments, which were designed to reduce poverty and encourage work, were found to have a positive impact on participants' physical and mental well-being, with many reporting decreased use of alcohol and tobacco. The trial also dispelled concerns that UBI would lead to unemployment, with only 17% of participants leaving their jobs and nearly half of those who stopped working returning to school or university to up-skill. The report suggests that UBI could be a useful public health strategy and that the safety net provided by the UBI project helped participants find better jobs with higher wages and improved working conditions.

Woody Allen is making another project related to Manhattan?

Wait, is that what the real Annabelle looks like? Pfft!

Now where is that Mission Accomplished banner?

I would love to have a Canadian alternative to Amazon.

You know what else is unlikely? Me buying American products.

Does he think the tomatoes are made like in the factory or something? Does he understand that it takes time to grow tomatoes?

Good on you! I have been cancelling everything American and moving my digital services to Europe.

There better be a fucking explanation. To roll over, especially after the most recent 51st state bullshit? You better have a good goddamn reason.

Honestly, it's simply futile to seek compromises with this tyrannical government. Like all bullies, nothing is enough for them. They will keep on taking from you until you clap back.

Fucking general strike, now!

Sorry, I haven't a clue.

That's exactly it. NPR will go on, but local, small market, broadcasters who receive as much as half of their funding from this, will be severely affected. Rural America will be the biggest loser here.

Oh wow, so we're just doing away with constitutional rights? Freedom of speech and assembly is being tested. Do not give them an inch, otherwise it will take generations to get it back.

It's COmMunIsM!!

You don't hear governors refer to current presidents as wanna-be dictators either.

Wait, what? I admit it's not peer-reviewed, but it's hardly pseudo-science. I even shared a gift article. Also, it was written by Alice Callahan who is a Times reporter covering nutrition and health and she has a Ph.D. in nutrition from the University of California, Davis.

Some of you sooner than others
