@sqwabb@KenSimCity The entire argument that Bitcoin is something other that just pure inflation, literally printing money with no societal value, is precisely that it is a product not a currency. So if its not that, then it is counterfeiting and fraud and is inflationary.
@SprinterFamily There was an option to form an aligned alliance of the former soviet and warsaw pact states that would not be hindered by the interests of the west. NATO is too big and diverse to be a unified and effective deterrent to Russian ambitions.
We chose poorly.
Russia would think twice before invading Georgia or Ukraine if they knew it meant war on all fronts. Instead NATO expansion was chosen and there are just too many nations with too many interests to be an effective deterrent.
There was another option than NATO expansion, a separate bloc of former Warsaw Pact and Soviet states. This alliance would have stopped all of these Russian wars since those nations would not have had their hands tied by western interests.
@elonmusk I agree with you on most things Elon, but the real value of your Mars plan will be technologies that allow us to live in a sustainable way on this planet, this is a much less "pie in the sky" and relatable message
@RobShaw_BC If you wanted proof that this government has no agenda beyond not being Green or Conservative here is your proof, they have no vision for this province and its many pressing issues
@wideawake_media I would never have imagined as an anti-globalisation activist in the streets of Seattle 25 years ago that it would be the Republican party, lead by Donald Trump of all people, that would become the champion of everything we were fighting for and against
@therabbithole@cenkuygur@AnaKasparian "You're either with us... or against us." Who would have thought that it would be liberals who would internalize the ethical vacuity of the neo-cons, and look who those exact people feel more comfortable with now.
@HillNikki It would cost 1/10th of the LNG subsidies to lift people with medically verified disability out of legislated poverty, if they wanted to end poverty they could, just like they actually did under CERB, its a matter of will not work
@DrNadolsky It is unappreciated how Trump trolls and says and does crazy things to drive conversation and break through the media's indifference. Its postmodernism in action, "Be interesting not factual." but underlying it is very clever politics.
@brianlilley@stphnmaher this is kind of silly, do we really think that a Conservative gov isn't going to buy tons of advertising on all the networks? I am for reform, there are very partial and unprofessional people in leading roles at CBC, but this is a future broken promise
@brianlilley The word on the street!?!? Gadzooks! Bazinga! Get a load of these clowns! Its 1924 again baybee! Seriously, has media literacy fallen this far?
@clairezagorski he's clearly saying this is an option he would like to see, millions with ADHD do not find the benefits of these drugs outweigh the cost, but you are being hyperbolic, probably because you are a drug pusher
@PolitlcsUK@AVMikhailova Canadian here, don't do it, we had a very ethical law and then the courts ruled that depression is the same as terminal conditions, we are in a nightmare now
@diana_murphy613@iamjohnoliver now extend your logic to abortion and sexual assault and you'll see where you have gone wrong here, men know men, even when they are claiming to be women, these are narcissists not trans
@VancouverThorn raise disability rates, the cost to do so is 1/10th of the LNG subsidies, its time to end legislated poverty and give disabled people the disposable income that small business desperately needs
