  • Whelp, that finishes my internetting for the day.

  • California has areas that have sunk 8+ feet. This is because agriculture dug down past the first water table into the second to feed rich, water-hungry crops like almond trees.

    It's been worrisome for a long time, but bug ag had the ear of the feds so did what it wanted.

  • I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean in this context.

    Are you saying that since these were co-workers and not family members that means the woman is lying?

  • When you hear men joke about what women they're gonna try to f'k, let them know how shitty that is.

    When you hear men make sexist jokes, let them know how shitty that is.

    When you hear men talk about their wives as somehow less than, let them know how shitty that is.

    And if you ever think any of those things in your own mind, remind yourself how shitty that is.

  • This is a clearer history of the equalization payments. Note in 1995 the Chretien gov't cut them by almost 30% because of the massive debt left by the previous Mulroney gov't.

  • Because that's what they were created to do ... keep the Black slaves in check.

  • Yup. If men as a group policed their own there would be a change. But as it stands they don't seem to want to do that all the time because it's easier to just let the bad ones slide through.

  • Our gov'ts have decided that big business is more important than the citzens who elected them.

    I have no idea how to change that. :/

  • Not really as a lot of stores don't have equally-priced options. Packaged produce is often much cheaper than loose and prices being what they are, many of us have to choose the cheaper option.

    The gov't is supposed to be here to protect us, not the businesses that force us to buy what they offer.

  • Ofc it's not all men, but it's enough men that make everyone's lives harder. So instead of arguing "not all" maybe focus on the some that are the cause of the problem.

  • Yup. It boils down to power imbalances that are systemic in a world where men still control almost everything.

    I had always hoped we'd move past this but it seems we may not get the chance now (with climate change raging around us).

  • Plese show me where I said it was "the" reason.

    I'll wait.

  • An LLC bought a house in America for $25,000 in 2023. That's a big problem.

    And seeing as you didn't seem to pay attention the first time I will say it again ... this is not a justification, but it is a reason.

  • "An LLC took the house over and purchased it for $25,000 in March 2023."

    Scummy businesses doing crap like this need to stop.

    It's not a justification for what he did, but it is a reason why he did it.

  • Good.

    Now do all the businesses who received funds and used them for stock buy-backs or managment bonuses instead.

  • Saskabush turning into a southern state and adopting Trumpian politics was not on my 2023 bingo card.

    Scott Moe just proving yet again how utterly debased he truly is.
