@PancreasNo I understand the hype around Soundwave, the scariest autistic man in the universe and his rescued animal pets, but Starscream is Decepticon Thanquol. Everyone knows he's going to betray you, the question is when and how he's going to survive by the skin of his slimy metal teeth.
@1ngenious@MatthewPB63@SocTransitLover You live in Alberta or something? Most infrastructure is provincial responsibility. Besides, all metrics point to the US having a far worse problem with aging infrastructure at the moment. TBH, your anxiety probably comes from having to transfer your pay from American to CDN.
@anthonieisacnt@QcMcleod@guyfelicella To play Devil's Advocate, we did have a Queen of Canada up until a few years ago, but she wasn't the woman these people claim was the Queen.
@dude_void_sdl@__Average_Joe__@SteveDelDucaFan Also genuine question are you a student? If so I apologize for the unemployment comments. I went through a degree and a college diploma and the job market is rougher for students now than it was then, largely due to the ghost posting epidemic going on right now.
@dude_void_sdl@__Average_Joe__@SteveDelDucaFan Good on ya. Have a nice workout. Unfortunately me and most of non libertarian society have to work, so that's what I'm doing. Gonna hit the gym afterwards though.

@dude_void_sdl@__Average_Joe__@SteveDelDucaFan 1) Profit driven healthcare: it's more profitable for the business to only partially treat any injuries and not prevent future illnesses, ensuring the firefighter is a repeat (and high paying) customer.
2) equipment: it only takes one local monopoly for the equipment the...
@dude_void_sdl@__Average_Joe__@SteveDelDucaFan Economic theory, and actual real life human history, also tell us what happens when capital systems go completely unregulated, and when social safety nets are not funded for the sake of cutting taxes. The Great Depression, the 2008 crash (in the US), Grafton New Hampshire.
@dude_void_sdl@__Average_Joe__@SteveDelDucaFan This isn't even true. Selling someone an ice-cream cone is a low-risk transaction that results in profit in your scenario. Rescuing someone from a fire is a high personal risk and material cost activity (given that social services are private and profit driven) that would be...
@dude_void_sdl@__Average_Joe__@SteveDelDucaFan But understanding things like taxes, budgets, stocks, and having practical skills are fundamentals you seem to lack. You also seem to lack knowledge on supplementals like corporate history, corporate behaviour, or the history of financial crises.
@dude_void_sdl@__Average_Joe__@SteveDelDucaFan If Praxeology was accurate to what you say then no one would elect to become a volunteer firefighter. Just because you wouldn't elect to do something without directly benefiting from it doesn't mean others won't.
