@MrTuffster@nationalpost Don’t debase yourself. You’re not a dog hoping your master tosses scraps your way. You’re a productive member of society whose money is being stolen and misused by the government.
@FoodProfessor Like everything in this country, don’t expect MSM to report on it until the situation becomes unbearable for journalists. They’ve got deeper pockets than many Canadians, but even they have limits
@XLilliputian@digibruce@xwanyex My position remains unchanged
What do you think I meant by figuring out how to adapt?
Adjusting social programs / entitlements in the face of an aging population is adaptation. Taxing the youth to maintain an unsustainable system is not
@XLilliputian@digibruce@xwanyex “There isn’t a correct ratio”
No, but a 1:1 ratio cannot support pensions or healthcare for the elderly w/o taxing workers into oblivion, which I doubt will improve fertility rates
It might be “manageable” under a system that doesn’t resemble what we currently have in the West
The UK is becoming like the late Soviet Union. Detached leaders who arrive & disappear with monotonous regularity & the people have little say in it.
