  • I wish it was possible, a citizen's co-op sounds amazing.

    I will say I've seen it tried with varying degrees of success so It'd have to done carefully.

  • I wasn't trying to build a statistically significant argument, just giving my anecdotal woes of the local economy.

    However median income for my area is $62,000. Rent range is $1400 - $3000 I gave the low end. Average is about $2,300. Hopefully that gives context.

  • Yeah it's an inelastic demand.

    Our zoning codes, car centric infrastructure, and investment firms having control over supply have priced an entire generation out of a human right.

  • It does get that high $1400 are basements in tare down neighborhoods

  • My area in particular gets a lot of housing market "investment".

    The going rate for a one bedroom is $1400 a month or $460,000 for a single family home in the suburbs with no access to public transport.

    It's rough out here.

  • Everyone has a right to be heard.

    Everyone has a right to their pain.

    Someone else's pain being acknowledged and addressed does not invalidate yours.

    Comparing pain leads only to a race to the bottom when we should all be lifting each other up.

  • Wait Cabracadabra is real!?

    I agree with your comment though, taking special care for vulnerable populations is important and when in a privileged position can (incorrectly) feel like exclusion.

    I think young men who are at a particular vulnerable and formative age seek community and to make their impression on the world.

    That feeling has been weaponized by alt-right influencers to start a culture war in order to stifle class conflict.

  • The second! Thanks I'm not the most well versed on the subject but I help where I can

  • Corporate oligarchs own us all at this point.

  • RISC-5 is a CPU architecture like x86 (AMD and Intel) or ARM (Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, Google).

    It's main differences are that it is an open architecture. It is still early in it's life cycle but it's already showing promising advancement.

    I'm not as well educated on this part of it but I remember reading that it is more efficient for a certain types of common calculations that have long since been an issue for x86. As noted though citation needed.

  • The reasons I listed I believe are a big reason that it is so expensive. You can't find a solution without first correctly identifying the problem.

  • I'm a bit of a loop here, I tried to look them up and I mostly got some corporate BS about them rebranding. When you have time are you able to enlighten me?

  • That was really strange for me because ranked choice voting would almost guarantee the NDP a lot more votes and power than it currently has.

  • I feel like you're arguing semantics about that one emulator. At least three of those forks had completely independent teams from yuzu.

    The previous commenter implied that the only hostile thing Nintendo has done recently was the yuzu settlement, which is leaving out a lot of the picture

  • This is incorrect they actually issued dmca take down notices to about 20 emulator forks, Gary's mod content, a couple home brew projects and an out of court settlement with Yuzu. This is just recently.

    Nintendo has a history of being hostile to the emulation, homebrew and modding community.

  • I think our housing markets biggest problem is twofold outdated zoning laws that only allow for single-family homes to be built and carcentric infrastructure that requires huge roads and parking spaces that require enormous amounts of public funds to maintain.

  • It's definitely true that we're lagging behind other G7 nations and I don't think our leadership is blameless just definitely not the only blame.

    I'm skeptical we'd be in a better spot under different leadership but with climate change, war and late stage capitalism in full swing I won't hold my breath.

    Sorry for the depressing comment!

  • I don't think it's fair to lay current economic landscape squarely at Trudeau's feet.

    Everywhere is poorer, corporations have been taking an unfair share for a long time and it is only ramped up in recent years. The United States is in a similar spot
