@buckmcyoung Police and national defence that provide stability.
Public education that raises worker productivity.
Basic scientific research that the private sector later commercializes.
If these investments raise future output by more than they cost, they create economic value.
@buckmcyoung Some public-sector activities absolutely increase long-term productive capacity.
Examples include:
Highways and ports that reduce transportation costs.
Water systems that allow cities and industry to function.
Courts that enforce contracts and property rights.
@TrentKlarenbach@HyperliquidX Chart over reality? What’s the price if this Iran situation doesn’t get resolved soon? Either Trump caves big, or this Middle East situation takes a long time to resolve.
@reid1_mrs@gregorrobertson@entertainpol All the revenue. Split the profits. Sounds like we get paid back for the infrastructure first, and any profits are split. The win is with increased trade and efficiency between two countries.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Uncovered footage of Conservative Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper thanking former Governor of the Bank of Canada Mark Carney, who is now Prime Minister, saying he has done a “tremendous job” and “Canada has a lot to be proud of”
This is why Poilievre is so worried. If you’re Canadian and concerned about our economy, why in the world would you vote for a 20 year Politician like Poilievre with zero accomplishments when you can have the best economist in the world for Prime Minister. Steak vs hotdogs.

Meet project "Good Old USA" the now unsealed DoJ file on the Russian influence in the US to sway opinion on the war in Ukraine.
Something Trump has bought into hook-line and sinker.
It was held under seal, because we got the literal playbook revealing their methods
@shaunhaney Probably because this was done in the least diplomatic way possible. I guess you like getting punched in the face first, and then only after that I’ll take your phone call and negotiate.
There will be no questioning the infallible leader! It's nice of MAGA Republicans to try to make former Soviet citizens like me feel at home in America, but they don't have to go this far.
@Plantmore1@skcropinsurance@SaskParty Your complaining about an insurance scheme that is mostly paid for by the provincial and federal governments? The program administration fully paid for by the federal and provincial governments.
@TLAMB91 What's the angle on this one? Just confused on the dark pool. Doesn't make any sense for fund to sell shares to do the bull reversal. Makes me think its buying shares, or buying shares to cover prior short shares and bull reversal.
