Removing the carbon tax won’t appreciably lower the price of anything for any amount of time. It won’t make life easier for average Canadians because the average Canadian gets that money back. We’ll have the same prices, the same unachievable cost of living, but with fewer social supports.

The free market has never once chosen morality over profit. Year after year we’ve proven we can suffer through it, so there is no motivation to change.

Okay, sure, so that defines that there was overall voter apathy. So Harris lost 85% of the voters who didn’t bother showing up. That’s even more damning.

Second hand fascism

The Liberals are admittedly a stale 3 day old cheap deli sandwich. People want something warm, fresh, and organic. Conservatives check all of those boxes.

Too bad it’s horseshit.

It’s close to that. Another metric is 15 million fewer people voted Kamala than Biden last election. Trumps numbers stayed the same.

15 million people just fucking gave up.

“We won it last time! Why change now? Besides, proportion representation only leads to more parties and that’d mean we’d have to… cooperate.”

We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released Skyrim once again over the last 10 years, it just doesnt have the same traction. It’s just that these audiences are only interested in a game for 6 months max.

Let’s just file that plan under "anything but reducing consumption "

That’s not it at all. Literally, my children told me, “I don’t want to go up, I just want to go to the houses with bowls”. But it’s not a lazy thing, it’s a social anxiety thing. We don’t chat with strangers, we don’t make small talk with people we don’t know, we don’t ask people things we can find out without asking people things. We’re socially awkward parents and we have socially awkward children.

Millennials, the ones who would much rather text than call on the phone their dearest friends and closest relatives, are 35-40 years old. They’re the ones with halloweening children and those kids are just ask averse to face to face interactions with neighborhood residents as we are.

Isn’t collective punishment against the Geneva Convention?

Or that we should agree on “throur”

When you get paid to stop something bad that is happening, prevention is not in your best interest.

You just can’t hear that hint over the hint of the constant torment of the growing lower class

And immediate brushing. I worked with a guy who kept a toothbrush at work and he brushed after he had a coffee. Seemed to do the trick!

Meanwhile, in France:

“What’s the roundish thing we eat a lot?”

“Apples?”

“No, the one that grows underground.”

“Dirt apples?”

Not sure why there are down votes here. It’s an important fact to remember that inflation “falling” doesn’t mean the cost of living is going down.

Whether reversing inflation is good or not isn’t their point. The point is, living is still more expensive than last year and your wage hasn’t been keeping up since the 70s.

That’s only because capitalists are deaf to reason and demonstrable facts.

The biggest problem is they’ve over committed what those things are and what they can do.

A lightsaber can cut through anything and the force can do just about any telekinesis you want it to.

Now you need to either ignore these incredibly powerful tools or carefully design intricate, thoughtful problems that can’t be flashily solved by CGI theatrics.

So what do they do? Well, 9/10 times, they just make a normal fucking movie/show with Star Wars painted on top. Lightsabers can be blocked by whatever weapon the bad guy has (make it zappy and then it’s basically the same as a lightsaber). Things get knocked just out of reach, people hang by their fingers of ledges, bad guys run away down that long street with no way to catch up and some Jedi stands there like a fucking oaf wishing it wasn’t so.

All Disney does it up the ante. More power, more different lightsabers, more aliens, more locations. But then they slap that shit on whatever story they have laying around.
