Albertan oil has displaced a massive amount of coal, which has actually lead to a reduction in c02 emissions.

If you want to fight climate change more effective actions would be rezoning housing federally for unlimited density based on a total free market like Japan did, and investing in mass transit. We do still remain the only country in the G7 without high speed rail.

The problem is climate change is used as a political grift to attract votes, they dont actually care about fighting it, if you did you'd also be cutting off Chinese imports and dealing with a tidal wave of mortgage defaults from inflation and higher interest rates.

Is it just people having unrealistic expectations of what a corporation can do?

How can such an entity have empathy, its like expecting a computer algorithm to have empathy. Pure fewelishness.

An interesting fact about Europe is they've long disobeyed their own procurement laws to choose Microsoft software, whether its corruption or what I've got no idea, I assume so though.

A world leading housing bubble, and wages lower than the poorest US state, I assume. As bad as the US is they didn't have the second worst per capita GDP growth in the OECD while they imported a massive number of UN wage slaves to depress salaries and hide falling GDP during a housing crisis.

So they hacked the account with two pieces of public information, the birth date and maiden name?

The theory I've heard that seems to be coming true is that America wanted Carney in order to build a pipeline through Quebec, using a constitutional crisis as the opportunity to do so. Pierre wouldn't be able to as a Con, but a progressive doing so will be palatable enough theoretically.

If Fox news started praising Biden I'd be equally suspicious, definitely their donors pushing an agenda.

A minimum income can do it better, with less waste on things people don't prioritize. A poor person wants better quality food, not a gym membership.

A 2tb SSD can now be bought for 100$ at least.

I due not want my corporation holding Bitcoin, if I want exposure I'll buy Bitcoin directly. They should be holding a bit of debt optimally.

Why stop there? Clean water is a convenience isn’t it? What about fire departments? That’s a convenience. People could do these things on their own. They should be rugged individualist and always take care of themselves right? Why do we need roads? People should just pave their own roads right?

I believe water is done privately, as are utilities. Roads are obviously difficult to do when managing the various tolls, and eminent domain, an issue package delivery would never run into. Fire department I think you'd run into issues with housing density, given you can just let peoples house burn down without affecting others.

But I can understand the desire I suppose, I just feel like we are subsidizing private corporations. I'd at least like a law that required it was free shipping only for Canadian companies or maybe Canadian product.

Duck.ai doesn't data mine, and has o3 mini which I have found to be very good. Its got some extra functionality like lines to break up text.

You're essentially taxing people for a convenience. You could do the same with streaming services, gyms, and all manners of things.

There's always Kotlin. Of course I never understood the desirability of a VM language in the first place, why not just compile for different architecture?

Reminds me if Upstart

It is weird we arent stopping the use of it either, so its still leeching into the water.

Can I ask why package delivery should be a public service?

I can understand making things with inelastic demand like healthcare a public service, or natural monopolies like cell phones, but do amazon package deliveries need to be government funded?

I just needed to make the joke, because part of me is still a child.

Temple OS user here, I've been welcomed as well.

Polygamy is back on the menu boys!

Are there a cohort of people who vote Trump just as a middle finger to the so called left as a nihilistic protest vote?
