""Followers!""
It amazes me how many people need followers and likes in order to feel validation. I do not need followers or likes to know I am speaking from my heart.
Like what I have to say? Follow me. If I like what you have to say, I will follow. But for me, it's not needed
@TLee300@ShaneWenzel It's designed to benefit the politicians. They only have to campaign in one part of the country. They only have to keep one part of the country happy. District 1
They even foster division between East and West to use that as campaign material "Screw the West we'll take the rest"
@Titor2035@albertaradios Oh ok, I thought you meant you were retired.
I've never had an issue with quitting a job. I sell 8 hours of my day, if I can get a better deal elsewhere I'll take it.
@Titor2035@albertaradios I can see most people preferring a check. I do get it.
I saw all this coming for a while now, and I have worked on getting rid of all my debt for the last few years. Not quite there yet, but way way better then I was 4-5 years ago.
If we get a check, it goes to debt for me.
@albertaradios Like I say, I would rather it go to the debt. I thought similar thing with Ralphbucks, invest it into something, but most people would disagree with me.
@albertaradios With that said, I don't drive, never have, and I would rather it go towards the debt to reign in the inflation.
But I get that some people could really use the money, because of inflation. Catch 22.
The moral case for Alberta independence begins with accountability.
Ottawa is too distant, too centralized and too comfortable with a political culture where insiders, consultants, lobbyists and favoured interests feed off federal spending with little consequence.
The worst corruption is not always what is illegal. It is what the system permits, rewards and normalizes.
Government should be close enough to the people that citizens can see it, judge it and hold it to account. Alberta should not be ruled from a capital thousands of kilometres away by a permanent political class we cannot meaningfully discipline.
Cutting out one vast, unaccountable layer of government is not just practical. It is moral.
@TristinHopper Seems like people here don't get that you aren't actually talking about tomatoes.
"If he sells them the value...."
Not the same analogy.
