Absolute nonsense. Backing into parking spots is 🐐.
The back in is superior in safety, efficiency and has the added benefit of enraging people who cannot comprehend others doing something different than them.
Physics: You put your pivot at the back of the vehicle, literally making it easier to direct the vehicle. Pulling in puts your steering ability in first and limits correction.
Guidance: It's far easier to see where you're going with a camera telling you how to align / where to stop.
Data: All traffic data from NSA and AAA showcase that backing out into traffic / pedestrians is worse than backing into a space.
Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism.
Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything.
Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government.
It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company.
Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one.
That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want.
Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment.
The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.
Son feministas hasta que Bad Bunny les baila pegado.
Son socialistas hasta que descubren lo cómoda que es volar en primera clase.
Son ecologistas hasta que toca un fin de semana en yate o un vuelo a las Maldivas.
Son tolerantes hasta que se enteran de que votas a la derecha.
Son pacifistas hasta que alguien discrepa de ellos.
Son partidarios de la libertad de expresión hasta que escuchan algo que no les gusta.
Son antielitistas hasta que los invitan a un reservado VIP.
Son ciudadanos del mundo hasta que les toca tenerlos de vecino.
Son partidarios de repartir la riqueza hasta que les toca repartir la suya.
Toronto renamed Yonge & Dundas Square to “Sankofa Square.”
A word from Ghana.
This week, Ghana made being gay a 3 year prison sentence.
10 years for promoting LGBTQ.
Toronto is hosting Pride in a square named after a country that just criminalized everyone in the parade. 😖
Last week I was asking a journalist (who works for a major Canadian media outlet) about this.
This journalist agreed that Media in Canada had largely quit covering any opposing viewpoints to the government.
This journalist speculated that it happed during Covid. They had become stenographers for the government, believing that they had a moral duty to get the “government’s” information out…..and they never quit.
Maybe that’s true. Maybe it’s as simple as that (as horrifying as that is)….but I suspect it’s even worse. There are vested interests that don’t want the Liberals to ever lose power.
In an free and democratic society the media has a responsibility to question the government and hold them accountable.
Canadians deserve no less.
One thing I really like about baseball on SportsNet is they spare the TV audience from having to sit through the national anthems. I wish the NHL would do the same
