Why is stolen in quotations in the original headline?

It is objective fact, not an opinion someone said.

Fuck Russia straight to hell for what they’ve done.

Or maybe I do and you don’t get to fucking claim a monopoly on how people make analogies just because you lost someone.

Heroin addicts are often some of the most able to recognize the problems with heroin.

And I’m pointing out how that is too broad a brush to be meaningful

People who say this never lived in a world without social media.

Social media didn’t improve anything. It’s an outrage machine that wastes trillion of hours of people’s lives.

No, it’s not like drugs at all.

Drugs have existed alongside for all of human evolution. Social media and smartphones are a brand new technology optimized to exploit you.

Also, we have extremely strict regulations on legal drugs and would not accept the effects of social media as a side effect.

Adults have lots of alternatives. The problem is with social media.

Start counting tech giants and financial services in your trade calculations you deceitful little bitches.

There is no trade deficit. The US exploits the entire fucking world through Tech and Finance, and then whines that they intentionally prioritized tech and finance over manufacturing for decades.

You want to go back to manufacturing everything yourselves, fine, the rest of the world can go back to running their own finance systems and regulating their own tech companies.

Richest country in the world whines that it’s not rich enough.

Pretty appalling that Nova Scotia health wouldn’t even talk to CBC about what their discharge policies are.

Honestly feels like they should be mandated to provide most policies if anyone asks. They’re a public institution, their bosses are the citizens of the province.

We should use that windfall tax to do what the EU is doing and instead issue discounts on consumer electricity rates to encourage further electrification rather than to paper over gas’ failings.

Probably a mix of bots and people so social media brained they may as well be.

This is a shit-post.

The headline has been changed from the article’s and literally nowhere in the article does it mention $4B or a pension fund.

Irresponsible reporting.

This is obviously what’s happening, you don’t need to fucking publish it and draw their attention and torpedo this.

Build it in Quebec on hydro power and I have zero issue.

Do it like this and I will do everything in my power to stop it.

The Chinese government has consistently and actively worked to make sure that when we trade with them, they benefit more then we do.

And yes, that’s not particularly different from our relationship with the US.

But you don’t have to be racist to oppose trade with a more powerful entity that attempts to control and abuse you. I still think it’s worth engaging with China economically, but I can also see how someone might oppose it just from a standpoint of respecting their competence and going in eyes wide open about their motivations.

Lol this is a dumb headline.

The entire point of trade diversification is that there is not a single solution to it.

That’s like saying “in Carney’s search for a hive mind, I don’t think it’s Steve”. Like yeah, if you think that’s what he’s doing, either he’s a complete idiocracy-level idiot, or maybe, just maybe, you should self reflect on your own understanding of the situation.

Wtf are you even talking about?

1. the companies you listed are not the only companies in their markets,

2. at least one of the companies you listed is Canadian

3. how is this different from literally any other country around the world?

4. how are you listing Costco when they’re literally the only store with a maximum markup %

The exact same thing that has been going on for the past ~60 years of American corporate expansionism.

They don’t regulate their companies, allowing them to basically abuse their destitute class to let their corporate class amass a vast amount of capital, and then they use that capital to expand globally, buy overseas companies, create capitalists there and use them to spread their shitty exploitative and harmful practices.

The key it this process is that their companies look economically successful, because they make more money then their competitors, but in reality they’re not more efficient or produce better goods (quite the opposite in fact), it’s just that they’re better at externalizing costs and exploiting others.

Lmao, the guy defending using Instagram is calling others a bootlicker?

Please social media companies, fuck everyone harder, we can’t possibly have a TV maker have the ability to lock it down with parental controls, society would collapse if that were to happen!

Oh wait, literally every single TV sold in the past 25 years has had that.

Lmao, and how many children do you have, oh wise one?

I mean, with that logic, why do we ban cigarettes from kids too? Why not just let cigarette companies advertise and sell cigarettes to kids, and just “hold parents accountable for the actions of their children”?
