@MikhailaFuller Savior?
You guys are forgetting economics.
He’s one of those guys who thinks big government and productivity coexist!
He wants high taxes, unions, and protectionism.
Does France look in a good shape to you?
Make no mistakes, that’s where he’s headed.
@elonmusk@Polymarket Quebs may be less woke, but twice as interventionist, and they rely heavily on Canada’s transfers.
More importantly, Quebecers see state intervention and unions as part of their identity.
A free Quebec is a communist Quebec.
Everyone loses from that, them included.
@EndWokeness Government-sponsored rentier economy cost the US its know-how by making supply inelastic and diverting money to artificially safer assets.
@HazyJimC@andytheandy1@kirawontmiss Fair enough.
Long-term plays can cause turmoil in the short run.
My best guess:
- Hold part of salary in escrow during tenure
- Condition release on fiscal responsibility and outcome of policy mix championed over career
That may even encourage turnover.
@andytheandy1@kirawontmiss Replacing Lindsay Graham or Sen Kennedy or Rand Paul with some younger pro-Tucker isolationist MAGA pseudo-socialist sounds like a terrible deal to me
Just tie their financial outcomes to good governance like Milei suggested, that should be enough!
@Forbes He’s getting old. That stuff can’t be stopped. Let’s focus on the scenarios where AI delivers abundance and expands the realm of possibilities.
@itstoz Careful. She’s borderline socialist, no better than Melanchon’s debt management ideas.
We must not let culture blind us from the substance: big government sucks.
@EricLDaugh@JMilei The awesomeness of Milei comes from his conviction.
He doesn’t know how to navigate political economy, he said it, and that’s what keeps his intentions pure.
He’s the vanguard of a potential global return to lean states. He risks it all.
For that, he has my undying respect.
@hany99dev This sneaky shit is the exact reason we can’t regulate AI. Imagine their behavior if they had assurances no new competitors would enter the market…
@TheAliceSmith Careful, the moral obligation to condemn is woke’s bread and butter. We’re smarter than that.
Better go with “cultures should be respected so long as they are practiced where they belong”.
@WeAreCanProud This is the man Canada needs for a total reset!
I’m secretly praying that Carney is slowly playing the political economy before gutting everything that’s wrong rather than meaning what he says.
But that’s probably wishful thinking.
Long live Milei.
