@troytcarlson@cbcnewsbc The nice thing about a separated space for dogs, is that anyone who doesn't like dogs.... doesn't have to go there. You'd also be less likely to interact with dogs in regular parks cause they'd have their own space away from you.
Workers around the world: lost $3.7 trillion in the pandemic
Billionaires around the world: gained $3.9 trillion in the pandemic
It's the biggest one-year wealth transfer in history, yet somehow barely anyone is talking about it.
@markgregory27 Ultimately, the solution to reducing the number of protests isn’t placing restrictions on the protests. We need to educate men how to be better humans and not attack women. We need to dismantle white supremacy. Solve the root problem and then the protests won’t be as frequent.
@markgregory27 I totally get that, but I think people are protesting because they are tired and fed up and they don’t know what else to do. When you’ve been attacked, discriminated against or seen your community members being killed, sometimes protesting about it is all you can do.
1980: corporate CEOs made 42x their median worker
Now: corporate CEOs make 350x their median worker
In that time worker productivity soared 70%. CEO productivity didn't change.
Stop asking why workers "deserve" raises and start asking why only CEOs deserve it.

A CEO
I don't know who needs to hear this, but your choice to give up the last eleven or so months of your regular life, being careful and socially distancing, could very well be the reason somebody else is alive today - and it will *always* have been worth it.
@markgregory27 Because people are fighting for issues that aren’t solved by one party or the other. So they can’t just vote for a different group and guarantee that their problems will be solved. They’re creating disruption to make change - as humans have done forever.
@markgregory27 Protests often do cause disruption, but that’s the entire point. The problem with the new bill is it’s vagueness around “causing serious annoyance” and how it allows for more government control over people which ultimately isn’t very democratic...
very strange how $2000 checks and cancelling student loan debt is impossible but there's always a way to bomb a middle eastern country. can anyone explain this
no, for real, the stock market soared to record highs as 400,000 people died, and as 50 million people filed for unemployment, billionaires became $1 trillion richer.
But, now that regular people are gaming it, these criminals want regulations.
