@ericmetaxas Thank you, this is a genuinely helpful visualization. It looked to me like they fell into their own footprints and I could legit never understand how that was possible in the circumstances. Turns out, they didn't.
@WearForbidden Ok but bro you legit created a great and sweet character and now you're just spiting your own success. I hope (for all our sakes!) that Chudley beats the rap and proves his innocence.
US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick supposes Carney withdrew from bilateral negotiations for political reasons. It has a ring of truth to it.
Things are better, electorally, for Carney with Trump standing as a big bad bogey man.
Maybe that's just a function of the will of the electorate, but it seems like a recipe for suffering and bad governance.
🇺🇸 LUTNICK JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL.
He says he asked Canada’s trade team directly:
“Are you trying to kill the deal?”
Their answer?
“We’re not allowed to say.”
Then Lutnick went even further:
“The Liberals are selling their citizens down the river.”
If that account is accurate, this wasn’t just a failed negotiation.
It raises a much uglier question:
Did Canada walk away on purpose?
I agree we need a big tent party, but haven't been convinced that KLF won't or can't do this.
She has many attributes of broad appeal.
To me, all this opposition still looks like attempted power-plays and sour grapes.
The BC Conservatives cobbled together an improbable - nearly impossible - alliance on a short time frame. It's not surprising that it's straining.
Despite this - which was obvious as part of the campaign - they earned the interest and confidence of a great mass of the province.
Replacing MLA candidates isn't difficult if you can speak to what really needs to be done and execute competently. I still believe KLF can do this.
Apart from the chaos they are creating, none of the detractors have landed a punch.
These don't seem odd or irrational to me. You make maybe dozens of such "stereo-sized" purchases a month whereas you'll buy a car once every several years. Missing out on $100 on the regular is a completely different thing than trying to carve it out of a an irregular purchase that has so many other significant considerations, besides.
Losing a $20 bill and not rebuying a $20 dollar ticket are not at all the same thing. There is nothing you can do about the lost $20 but you have to choose to spend another $20 for a new ticket.
Choosing wine based on its relative price position is also a rational rule (assuming a rational world) in that it lets you select the quality you are seeking within context you are in.
Not wanting the cheapest (or most expensive) wine (or x product or service) is a heuristic trick that can of course be exploited but it also exists for a reason - because most of the time it gets you what you are after without having to enter into complex comparison analyses
