Has your neighbourhood considered Cleen Coal Furnaces? Relive your Dickensian dystopia.

Serious question: With a gutted SEC, a corrupt supreme court and a Presidential pardon presumably in the wings, what's stopping Tesla from just lying like all fuck on their quarterly reports?

US securities fraud was rampant at the best of times. Now, I have not the words to describe what is being done.

So the solution to AI encroachment is to self-sabotage all communication? A little too scorched earth for me. Reminds of a bad variation of Inception.

The dude: but I really liked that rug. It really held the room together.

:angryupvote:

Canadian retailers never needed an excuse to raise prices. They have and will always charge the max amount they think they can get away with.

No one ever leaves money on the table.

Canned goods and ammunition are still part of GDP. Maybe they are just saying the economy will shift from a consumer economy to a prepper economy.

The American biologist E.O.Wilson posited a variation of the 80/20 rule that is a hallmark of environmental science.

"Conserving 50% of the land will preserve 80% of the species."

30 is good, but it's not enough. Not nearly enough.

India will pursue its own self interest as it always has. It has no interest in interdependency on the US and the irony of the US stabbing everyone in the face, while then begging for help shows how irrational they are. They are at best an unreliable trade partner.

No one can partner with stupidity and chaos.

They will accept direct foreign investment and will gladly climb the manufacturing capabilities ladder as the Chinese have done so successfully. But they will trust the US as much as the trust China. I.e. not at all.

Yeah, this is at most a minor logistics rerouting. Doesn't impact us.

He has no mind. He has no scruples. He has no honour or integrity. He is bound by no checks and balances, no competent court or rule of law.

There are no negotiations to be had. No deal will be honored. No system to appeal to. You could not be more correct. Don't bother answering the phone. Don't bother signing anything. Don't bother leadership meetings. Send the b team on a salvage operation but conceed nothing.

Find better trade partners.

Hypocrisy when dishing ad hominems yourself rather than tackling crime or crime guns with evidence based policy.

I'm sorry that people's propety hurt your feelings.

Trump, his techbro and oiligarch backers etc.

Trump: To defeat jina, we must become jina.

sounds like a veiled threat.

No. I want you to go away, for precicely these irrational associations.

You cannot compare American gun juggling dipshit society, with Canadian licensing storage and usage regulations and a culture of general safety and collective cohesion.

Everything increases deaths in Canada. Cars, food, chemicals. Evidence based policy means you tailor the response to the problem. Legal firearms are a fart in a hurricane and doesn't warrant the disproportionate bans and buybacks while ignoring the real problems of smuggling and crime, especially repeat criminals.

Who cares? Reddit is American and I dumped it completely and forever as a consequence for their backstabbing.

If anyone still uses it, please post in the Canadian subs to come here. Fuck Reddit and Fuck the US.

While Air B&B has done irreperable harm to the housing market, I'm not 100% convinced it should be banned. I propose if a house operates as an enterprise, it be taxed according to commercial rates, not residential. It would go a long way to resolving the inequities.

Can they? I'm not convinced. They flaunt the rules based international order are engaged in the most cynical version of realpolitik imaginable. China gets pissy if you exercise your own law in your own country while simultaneously demanding you respect their sovereignty and foreign policy goals and operating illegal underground "police stations" in other countries. Seriously, fuck China.

The US lost their reliable partner status because they are trying to compete with China by becoming like China.

We can trade, but no deep partnerships can occur with either of them, and we can't free trade or we'll get swallowed by the realpolitiks of it all. E.g. dumping to destroy strategic domestic industries etc.
