I'm assuming you're talking about the US leadership? Eminem has been putting out music critical of every (2) Republican president since getting big.

I don't think the question should be whether or not it's needed, but rather whether it'll make things easier and encourage more people to make the switch.

In your heroin example, when they do decide to break the addiction, giving them a different drug (Methadone) is exactly what you do.

Just because an English word was originally Latin and is written the same way, doesn't mean it's pronounced the same way. It's an English word now. It has an English pronunciation, pluralisation and definition that can all be different from the original. "Kentawur" is not correct for the English word.

I believe ROC is the "rest of Canada" in this context.

I would argue that they're smuggling in fentanyl precisely because the less dangerous drugs are also illegal, so there's no oversight in making sure they're not laced with the cheaper fentanyl.

"Millionaires' column"

It feels very much like a copypasta

I can't find the post you're referring to. Can you link it?

This makes way more sense than active suppression. If you don't have an understanding of the context, then you can't compress the memory. Every sound/sensation/image is unique and had to be remembered as a unique experience.

He's technically been elected. Just not by Canada as a whole.

Isn't high demand the whole reason that prices are so high to begin with?

High-crime areas can also drive up premiums due to increased risks of theft or vandalism.

It peaked when it was good enough to generate short somewhat coherent phrases. We'd make it generate ideas for silly things and laugh at how ridiculous the results were.

I can stand by this for an established business. But we live in a capitalist society where you need money to make money. Until that changes, your ability to pay for work doesn't have any bearing on the value of your new business venture.

Why would you need anyone to buy your products when you can just enjoy them yourself?

An idea I've been toying with is that laws should be written like software with lots of test cases. It makes no sense to create laws with ambiguous terms that only become concrete when it goes through court. We should know what the law actually is before it gets passed.

That's how it works in Canada. There's a set amount given to the parent giving birth, then the rest can be split however you want.

For sure. I was suggesting we look at the stock market model as inspiration, not to copy it exactly. I don't really know what the exact solution would look like. I haven't thought through this as deeply as Pete probably would have.

Sellers includes the employees. I put it in quotes because it isn't exactly the same as other buying and selling transactions where the sellers are actively part of the transaction.
