Since FIFA said they'd be in touch about making this official, I just gotta say that I really couldn't think of anyone better to represent the World Cup than the guy who's spent the last three years promoting and learning the world's cultures and breaking stereotypes around them
@CptCarm@mario4thenorth The indigenous were in residential schools until the late 1990s. On top of this their communities have had no proper infrastructure for decades. This money is our lame attempt at making things right
This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me.
Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000
I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k
If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year.
Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax
But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.
An owl can eat over 1,000 rodents in a year. If you poison the rodents, you poison the owl. And almost every raptor in the US is already being poisoned.
A 2020 Tufts Wildlife Clinic study found that 100% of the red-tailed hawks they tested were positive for anticoagulant rodenticides. Every single bird.
A follow-up study of 46 hawks, owls, foxes, and coyotes from a Massachusetts rehab center between 2022 and 2024 found the same thing: 100% had been poisoned.
Rat poison works by preventing blood clotting. The rodent doesn't die immediately. It bleeds internally for days, becomes lethargic and easy to catch, and gets eaten by something hungry. The poison moves up the food web in their gut, their liver, their carcass. A single bait box can take out an owl, a hawk, a fox, even a bobcat.
The pests you're worried about (mice, rats, voles) are the same pests an owl can take 1,000 of in a year, for free, forever, if you let her.
Use snap traps indoors only away from pets. Seal the entry points and lock food away. Put up an owl box. Keep cats inside (they get poisoned eating poisoned rodents too).
Rat poison sales need to drop to zero.
The bird on the left was a commercial laying hen at 18 months old. The bird on the right is the same hen three months later. The difference is being let out of a cage.
Roughly 60% of US laying hens live in cages, about 180 million birds total. Globally, the majority of the world's 7 billion laying hens are caged. The hen in this photo is not an outlier, just is one of the rare ones who got out.
Same hen, different system.
@jd197288@marcorandazza Broski they paid hundreds of thousands for school, have jobs and contribute positively to the country while also becoming fans of hockey and the habs. What is wrong with what you see. Removing them would result in negatives effects for the country
@zaynabofkhaybar@Talhaa10_ You realize the US and the broader Western world are the reason for the destabilization of the middle east? American casualties are the cause of American governments who sent their men and woman to die for wars based off lies.
