lol, way better!

Hate this title, how about:

"A novel by author Lena McDonald, accidentally leaves AI prompt in published version."

Takeover the complete control of the car?

Maybe not complete control, but maybe taking away breaks yes: https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/

Miller and Valasek’s full arsenal includes functions that at lower speeds fully kill the engine, abruptly engage the brakes, or disable them altogether. The most disturbing maneuver came when they cut the Jeep's brakes, leaving me frantically pumping the pedal as the 2-ton SUV slid uncontrollably into a ditch.

We don't realistically have enough global political power to apply any political pressure either.

Right, so why bother, it seems like we are just hurting canadians by having tariffs on evs

As stated in another comment Conrad Black was pardoned by trump. So he's interested in making trump ok. IMO lemmy shouldn't link to national post.

Also i imagine what magats would say if a foreign head of state called him governor.

Fuck you conrad black, you are a piece of shit, who's had everything handed to you on a plate, and still turned out to be an asshole.

For the lazy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Black#Pardon

I feel like they def have issues, Taiwan, Tibet, Uyghurs, human rights record, general authoritarianism.

They also seem to have a better climate change story than anyone in north america, and USA has totally shown itself to be a mercurial alley.

I don't see what advantage high tariffs have on something we want more of (EV's). If the standards suck, then I'm ok with bringing them up to standard and charging for that.

Making this an either or "they are or aren't our enemies" seems unnecessary, when we could buy their things and put pressure on them to do better on the things at the top.

Aren't there penalties for breaking contract?

provincial and federal governments announced more than $22.3 million in funding to bring high-speed Internet

Can we get our 22.3 million + interest back then? Seems like it might be time to make it a public company again.

Bell Canada parent company BCE awarded its executives more than $5 million after announcing it was laying off 4,800 employees.

Fuck this company

How soon i forget

Or like Ukraine in 2022

I concur, it's not false, but it's hard to call it true

When you include non-profit housing built by others with federal government help, it's more like 3,742 houses.

But it's hard for Poilievre to take responsibility for the 200,000 homes he says were built when he was minister. In the 2015-16 fiscal year, 194,461 homes were built in Canada in total, including by private developers.

Better article

Poilievre pushed back at Singh for not letting him answer the question and insisted that 200,000 homes were built during his ministerial tenure.

Both figures aren't entirely accurate. Singh's claim that Poilievre only built six homes as housing minister refers only to non-profit community housing units built exclusively by the government in 2015. When you include non-profit housing built by others with federal government help, it's more like 3,742 houses.

I think it's important to reward people who save for retirement. I agree that you've got to have something before you can save. IMO taxing high wealth i.e. top 5% of the population higher rates so that you can fund the bottom 10% would go a long way to making sure things are a bit more balanced, while still rewarding your "hardest" (which are probably actually your luckiest) workers.

A fine for a corporation that wealthy would have to be astronomical, at which point I'm not sure how we'd enforce it.

I'd prefer they just be denied to canadians, but I don't know if that would go over well either.

I just got an email offering a $300 4 night stay in Orlando with $100 USD restaurant gift certificate.

They also shit on people's lawns.

We have a "charter of rights and freedoms" in particular: https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/rfc-dlc/ccrf-ccdl/check/art2b.html. So as much as I dislike this kind of stuff they are still allowed to have it.

I could see someone seeing that hat and assuming it's a MAGA hat, and kicking the guy out -- and the security guards "just doing their jobs".

It still sucks, and i'm glad they said sorry

Assuming he pays 25% tax, which i'd be very suspicious about, he's about 2 million short of his current "fair share".

26 000 000 * 0.25 = 6 500 000

26 000 000 * 0.33 = 8 580 000

If he's deferring till retirement, then likely his tax rate is less, and the bank is lending him money which he can spend freely and call a capital loss lowering his effective tax rate when he does incur those taxes.

The thing about being this wealthy is you can afford to pay people to find ways to lower this rate.

I don't think i'm "mad" about this, but concerned. This kind of inequality leads to violent upheaval, and is currently the cause of a whole pile of unnecessary suffering. If we didn't have people that were this wealthy and some of that money was distributed to say education, healthcare, UBI, we could all have a much healthier pleasant life.
