Except on December 4th 2024. There is hope it was not a one-off.

PSA: Remember, oligarchs are not bulletproof.

The evidence points to the incineration of the planet as the long game of the ruling class.

Still not going to set foot or spend a penny in that fascist shit-stain of a failed country. Canada needs to take this as a wake up call, the USA cannot be trusted. Ever, For anything. And Canada needs to pull its head out of the US's ass when it comes to foreign policy as well.

The USA: "Land of the Free ®" has made it illegal to boycott the Zionist entity.

Inb4 pedant quibbles that "the planet itself is not dying." Yeah, but we and our fellow creatures are. It should be understood that is what Mr. Phillips meant.

They should peruse the Panama Papers and seize the billions that tax cheats in Canada have squirreled away in offshore accounts.

When the ruling class finishes melting the Arctic ice cap to get the oil, shipping to the EU/Northern Asia will be much faster and cheaper than now.

This is the correct take. Anyone who paid the least amount of attention to Snowden's revelations know that the USA harvests absolutely everything online. Americans have more to fear from their info being misused by their own government and the corporations that own it than by the Chinese. The push to ban TikTok is just an attempt to cut out the spying competition. And jingoistic Sinophobia.

Names can also be descriptions, I was using those words as a description, not as a reference to the band. (Of which I know nothing other than the name and their supposed confusion over magnets or some shit.) If they are anti-tRump they have that going for them at least.

Everyone assumes the empire is all-powerful, but they really are not. Mao called them a "paper tiger" 60 or 70 years ago. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Cuba and to some extent Iraq and others have all proven that resistance is not futile. With the insane clown posse taking power the world is not going to be quite as eager to back U.S. aggression, I hope.

Ask the Vietnamese.

Meanwhile Ford is ripping out bike lanes.

Affordable EVs exist outside of the empire NOW, the infrastructure changes are not going in the direction we need, and are not likely ever to do so. Not everyone is young, in good physical condition, or live in metropolitan areas with acceptable transit options.

Maybe if I was in my 20s or 30s, but those days are long passed. Not willing to risk getting myself killed to save in a year the amount of gas usage that an oligarch burns in a minute.

Not riding an e-bike in this climate, except for the 3 months of the year when it is actually habitable.

Just think how fast it would move with AFFORDABLE electric vehicles and cheap solar panels to charge them. Instead we get tariffs and more oil/gas pipelines, and oppression of people trying to prevent the pipelines. That is Canada's response to global warming.

Sounds like its time for a class action fraud suite.

I deal with right wing wackos all the time, my family is full of them. I welcome having my perspectives challenged, it is an opportunity to perfect my arguments. Most of what they say is scientifically disproven quite easily, but since the right generally doesn't believe in science, it doesn't matter to them. Reality still wins in the end no matter how much they (and right wing media) deny it. See global warming as an example.

Reality trends left.

Because the same oligarchs that own the stores own the media.
