@VodkaPundit ALL government price controls are illegal under the US Constitution because every single one of them is, by definition, a "taking". Without any compensation. "...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
“Canada Modelling Non-Voluntary Euthanasia to Save Trillions?” 🇨🇦
A new academic study is calculating how much money the government could save by dramatically expanding euthanasia .. including “non-voluntary” scenarios for vulnerable people.
They’re literally running the numbers on ending lives without consent as a budget solution.
That’s not dystopian fiction… that’s a real paper being discussed right now.
The study projects potential savings of up to $1.27 trillion by 2047.

The authors themselves raise serious ethical concerns about turning assisted dying into a cost-saving tool for the state.
What do you think?
When did we start treating human lives like line items on a spreadsheet?
Anyone who claims the lack of joy about the 250th is a function of a rough economy was not alive in 1976.
The country rocked in its 200th celebration and the economy was a FREAKING MESS.
There is this Gen Z misconception that the '70s and early '80s were some sort of economic golden age of readily available, well-paying jobs, low cost housing and an all around sense of prosperity.
WRONG.
Google "Stagflation." Google "gas lines." Google "mortgage interest rates in the 1980s."
Our economy today is a golden age by comparison, without exaggeration.
Yet somehow in 1976 we could gleefully celebrate our nation's birthday without Democrats turning it into a Howard Zinn-inspired anti-history hatefest.
@xnoesbueno Indeed Mr. Talarico's campaign looks like it is a Bloom and Bialystock production to get the little old ladies and nice men from CA to oversubscribe so come 12:00 AM 11/4/2026 he can eventually exeunt stage left with the cash.
@jasonwhitlock And how is this different from The N-Word? Blacks use it on each other daily. Whites aren't allowed. And y'all have put up with that for decades. It's no wonder they don't respect you.
Do you roll around on the floor? How do you "feel" your floors? With your bare feet, right? If your feet weren't bare, this wouldn't bother you. This is not complicated, it's just a choice. If that's all it takes to make a small part of your soul leave your body you must have a strange life. :)
Exactly. This is what I think is going to happen. Those big AI datacenters that everyone is het up about aren't going to be a big thing for long because people will buy their own AI and run it on local hardware. If you are a business using an AI, do you want to have your business vulnerable to that third-party? Reliant on that third-party? If an in-house AI gives you 95% of the capability, which goes up all the time, with full control, why wouldn't you do that? Of course you'd do that. And that's what will happen. The future of AI is the department and the desktop. IMO, at least.
