Unfortunately Mao was an idiot surrounded by sycophants who killed more of his countrymen through incompetent policies than Stalin did with his purges.
Seriously... Do you know what Canada does? The gov't buys wholesale from pharmaceutical companies. That's it. The Canadian gov't runs a drug Costco on behalf of its citizens and we all save.
Why doesn't Florida just negotiate their own wholesale drug prices from the manufacturers on its own? Why does it need Canada to do that for them?
In Canada the first step to legal gun ownership is emailing the RCMP and asking for gun safety training. Then they email you back a list of qualified instructors in your city.
Once you get the safety training then you can apply for a Possession and Acquisition License which allows you to buy firearms and ammunition. Once in possession of a firearm you need go register it so that if you are caught with it you don't get in trouble.
"Restricted" firearms include hand guns and revolvers so if you want one of those then you need to repeat the process once more including the safety training and get a Restricted Possession and Acquisition License
That doesn't matter. What matters is that they get their way. We have to just sit on our hands and let them hurt enough people to make MAGAs switch allegiances. Or just let them keep killing people until there aren't enough functional MAGAs left to make any meaningful opposition.
There is no point to argue with them. Just let them do it.
Or tiny birds that can expertly navigate wind currents with an almond sized brain using real-time force feedback. The computational power at their disposal is very well optimized for what they do.
The Democrats have been chasing the mythical moderate conservative at the expense of the progressive left forever and have learned nothing. I want a fire and brimstone progressive who is belligerent and aggressive
I am leaning into the whole "Democrats have god-like power over the weather" conspiracy because it pleases me to use that as a reason for voting Kamala. Why vote against the team with the hurricane machine? They are obviously much stronger.
Maybe the squirrel bit that guy because the squirrel knew deep down that guy was here to fuck up the squirrels life which he did by inserting himself into the situation.
I don't think the government needed to get involved. If this guy was hoarding animals then okay. He had a squirrel and the gov't killed it? Thank you gov't I really feel safer now knowing you killed this guy's squirrel.
How can a primate hoard resources? They have no storage methods
