Repairing a car in 2026: find the faulty circuit board, finely resolder the broken circuit, carefully reassemble
Repairing a human in 2026: "I'm thinking a stainless steel bracket held on with a half dozen screws oughta do it."
@nypost Too many people just think "higher taxes = more tax revenue."
They don't understand that after a certain breaking point people just take their money and leave, and the higher taxes results in lower revenue
If I told vegans that I have machines that can convert water, grass and sunlight into highly nutrient dense sustenance, they'd be thrilled. If I told them those machines are cows, they'd be outraged.
@bruce_barrett@UncleNestor22 Carney? The guy who thinks Canadians should get their sustenance from eating dandelion leaves and june bugs because beef and dairy is killing the planet?
@JimJumJam611 That's the funniest part. The automakers didn't even bother to move the jobs elsewhere, because the welfare they pocketed was intended to build EV's that nobody actually wants to buy in the first place. To spin $30B+ in money laundering as some sort of power move is delusional
Canada could become an economic powerhouse if we just removed a few provinces and territories from confederation.
Just get rid of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P.E.I., Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia, Nunavut, Northwest Territory, and maybe the Yukon.
@JimJumJam611 Ontario? The province where they give auto manufacturers $15 billion dollar bribes and it's still not enough to make it economically feasible for them to operate there?
Car-dependent suburbs were created because it is illegal to control the space outside your house & your car, so people demanded big houses & yards connected to everything they needed by car 100% of the way
@FoodProfessor I understand how shifting the cost of recycling onto food companies will increase their costs.
What I don't understand is how lifting the cost of recycling from the government didn't reduce their budgets or my tax burden.
