@ID_AA_Carmack Would you want to live next to one tho. We have 2 in town here and the noise they make is insane. Im sure they can build them quiet but they dont because its that much cheaper for them to do so. Until this nonsense is remedied they will remain unpopular. Billboards wont help.
@MichelleRempel@elonmusk Because otherwise he couldnt get tens of billions from the US gov. Musk's businesses are almost entirely made from US gov money, contracts and subsidies.
@ODNIgov@DNIGabbard There's no evidence of any GOFROC in Ukraine, the labs there are typical monitoring and testing labs. This is a distraction from the Epstein Files and the Chinese Wuhan and American Covid-19 scandal and continuing GOFROC that led to the Covid-19 lab leak. Release *those* files.
@GadSaad Half built on scams and slave level exploitation you mean. SpaceX isnt worth a third of what its asking and never will be. No IP of worth. Other space agencies can replicate it. Its still not profitable. Gimmicks, fancy brand names and gov money. Early investors will take a bath.
@SarahFischer__ The same kinds of ads were run at the end of Harper's 10 years in power. Its all true and its all the same policies that make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
@acoyne Alberta gave most of its oil wealth away to rich mostly american barons unlike Norway. Instead of rectifying that for the bit of time oil as an industry has to go some blame Ottawa for Edmonton's poor decisions. Used to think it was FPTP that divides us. For some its just oil.
@acoyne Those always praising One Trick Pony economies like oil always clamor how well they are doing when booming. And blame everyone else when they dont. And calling AI data centres economic diversification is something some people need to read up about.
@RepLuna Not your kind of peace no. The only way genocidal fascists like Russia get peace is if they put down their arms go back home and hide behind their nuclear deterrent and stay there quietly. Anything less and like the German Nazis its dead face down in a fucking ditch.
@guyjbreton@BradenMannsYYC Because its underfunded. Canada spends 7-8% of gdp on public healthcare. Europe between 10-12%. The 30% of healthcare that is private for profit eats up another 5% of Canada's gdp. And costs there are going up fast.
@gordo_10001@BradenMannsYYC In order to match european models we would have to move from current 70% public/30% private split up to 90% public. And make sure there were enough doctors to go around. This isnt about moving to a european model its moving to an american model by undermining the public system.
@CNN Any pension fund with a head on their shoulders will take their money out of the NASDAQ ASAP. Forcing funds to buy overpriced stock after just 5 days of an IPO instead of 90 is one of the biggest modern scams yet. Space X is at most worth 720 billion. Half what they are asking...
@TomPark1n This society tolerates 1 in 5 using the food bank. My bet is they want to test if 1 in 4 or higher will be tolerated... Pushing how tolerant people will suffer poverty is a long running exercise. We tolerated from 1 in 20 to 1 in 10 making minimum wage as well...
@globeandmail They will do and say anything to avoid taxing the rich. Most retirees have very modest pensions and benefits. And forcing people to work until 70, even in the face of massive job loss to AI and technology, only increases the already high rate of unemployment for younger people.
