As a Canadian, it's like I'm watching an alternate reality develop, and I'm afraid it's going to infect us...

Elon Musk = Trump's Rasputin?

This is a good lesson to those who are shocked by the win but didn't vote.

When was this done? Because Windows has already been enshitified.

It's the Financial Times. Taxes are a cancer for them.

Obama had started. But Trump reversed.

I hope you had a good sense of euphoria after that.

You're right. I wrote it quickly while on the go.

My brother or sister, invest in index funds, not the stock market. And then forget about it for 30 years or more until you retire. And then, if you invest in index funds, there will be ups and downs.

The trick is to stay the course because it has been proven that the price will always go up from when you started investing. And then, in 30 years or more, you will have a substantial amount of money for retirement.

Rationally speaking, the whole purpose of sanctions is to sanction the whole population of the country in order to get the government of the country to change it's policies. And when it comes to sanctions, companies and entities doing business with the sanctioned countries are themselves sanctioned. So Linus had no choice but to remove the Russian contributors.

We're talking about a real situation, not about what would be better.

It's not racism. They have to follow the LAW.

This is cruel.

This practice is really a banana republic practice. It's like handing out cash in party flyers in corrupted banana republics.

Not necessarily. In Canada, an independent advisory board reviews applications and provides a shortlist of candidates. The Prime Minister selects a nominee from this list. The nominee may participate in a public hearing before being officially appointed.

That is why it has not been a partisan issue so far.

“Member states cannot continue the race to the bottom corporate tax policies that undermine European unity and social cohesion. Big tech companies like Apple should not be able to exploit their market power and avoid paying their fair share to society,” said EU MEP Kira Peter-Hansen.

Good.

As a Canadian, I find it very sad that schools have to resort to panic alarm systems as if they were living in a Mad Max movie without a government.
