The other aspect of self interest is that a good social safety net reduces the number of crazy people out on the streets. Want to ride the metro without crazy, screaming weirdos? Social supports… Want to have clean functioning public bathrooms that arent used as injection sites for addicts? Social supports… So much of life would be better if we took care of the lowest in society instead of leaving them in a state of living death on the streets.

It sold out to a multinational organization becoming non Canadian

and yet they continue to market themselves as an essential part of the fabric of canadian culture, and people eat it all up

wow. that explains why i shifted to McD’s coffee around 2010

everyone here seems to be mad.

i’m happy that there is some barrier of entry to adding more horsepower to an already lethal machine. sure, it doesn’t affect rich assholes. but at least some won’t buy it. ideally, nobody buys the feature.

The good people don’t become billionaires in the first place

You have extra money to name a hospital wing after yourself? Should have been taxed appropriately in the first place so that the hospital didnt need to sell naming rights just to fill a funding gap…

You have extra money to donate to your family charity? Should have been paid as appropriate wages to your workers instead of accumulating in your personal net worth…

All billionaire philanthropy is a failure of policy that allowed them to unjustly accumulate those billions through exploting others, thereby creating most of the problems that they “solve” through their philanthropy later in life

So they are admitting that they cant pilot their vehicle safely…

Remove their licenses, not the bike lanes

Why CNN?

This is also happening with team Israel-Premier Tech cycling team

It’s essentially a canadian professional cycling team with visibility at the highest level of the sport, promoting the state of israel

All the prior cases from these chatGPT lawyers should be reviewed. What other shortcuts were they taking before? Did an innocent person end up in jail because of some prior negligence?

We need a good replacement for bourbon though. No canadian whisky is a drop-in replacement

Edit: i know other styles of whisky exist. I’ve tried a lot of them. Nothing out there currently is close to bourbon. Not even the right type of grain to start with.

It’s like asking for a champagne replacement and people suggesting red wines instead of other types of sparkling white wine (of which many exist)

I had an instructor in college who was also a cop back in 2005 who told the class the same thing

How about you take up a full time job on the noble task of “informing the public” but also don’t ask for any monetary compensation

Thank you for your service

I’m not giving up a small pleasure like butter just so that a billionaire can buy another private jet and wipe out whatever tiny carbon footprint savings comes from giving up butter
