Free markets are a race to the bottom for paying the lowest possible price to a worker. They would pay you (YOU) nothing if they could. The only thing that will have wages go up is regulations that demand it. Should Timmies be allowed to pull TFWs for $15/hr work any high schooler could do? Probably not, but I just don't believe that's the major force behind our decay.
Also, remember that TFWs are subject to another force - they have to keep working in SHIT conditions or else have their visa revoked. That is, in my books, a human rights violation. Nobody should be forced to work in that fashion.
We are all getting fucked by the big guy. Don't let them pull the wool over your eyes.
I don't forsee another wave like this for the liberals. This was about 1 thing only - keeping Pierre out of office. The general public will forget by next election. There must be a good leftist candidate by then.
Liberal politics are that of free market capitalism. They are supporting the same systems that have been hurting us for a while now, just with a rainbow flag behind them. Obviously fascists are worse but our decline is going to continue under the Liberals because they're fundamentally incapable of challenging the systems that are responsible for our problems.
Haha no. I would buy a big box bike and just run it into the ground before paying for pedal bike share. Ebikes are expensive, less so now, but you can get something that functions as a bike for like $120 new. You should know how to do basic mantainance though and assemble it yourself. Second hand bikes are a good option too although you'll likely have to do more work on it.
I run a pivpn setup so that nothing is exposed to the internet at all. It's just too dangerous now. It was bad back in the day, but now I literally have bots trying to join any public facing Minecraft server. It's so many times worse now than it was a decade ago.
I'm Gen Z, I did a layaway on the 2 bikes (my ebike and my Kona Dew+) I've bought because I knew I would have enough money to fully pay for them soon, but I didn't want to risk those particular models selling out, and the bike shop really only brings in a few of each model due to their size.
Again, this is just vibes based. I will not be defending Discovery but Lower Decks is fucking awesome and Strange New Worlds is a solid return to TNG style storytelling. Vaguely gesturing at imagined wokeness is not an argument.
Agreed on all counts. Additionally, living wages need to be paid with "casual" no hours jobs disincentivized (I.e. full benefits for all workers). Rent is more and more of people's income, and it's not solely because rent is rising although that is a giant part of the problem.
Still, I'd ultimately want decommidification, but literally anything that will actually ease the problem is good in the meantime.
Children can't be held to the standard of adults. Teachers certainly should be paid more but if you can't handle working with kids teaching might not be your gig.
Trekkie here. People still complain about modern Trek being "woke" unlike their preferred version (which definitely does not talk about "woke" issues through allegory, or something)
And ebikes. But they might have to do something about the whole "governments with no jurisdiction ripping out bike lanes" thing.
