He’s had 20 years in politics to to come up with at least one good idea and he just hasn’t. He’s a career critic. That has served him well as the opposition but you can’t lead when your only play is to blame somebody else.
I’m hoping we soon hear several new trade announcements coming from NATO partners that will help us collectively reduce our reliance on authoritative governments of all stripes.
He’s hoping he’ll hurt us (Canada) enough that suddenly his offer to “save” us by becoming a US territory is appealing. Any sort of fentanyl or national security reasoning is just an excuse.
The person who proposed shutting off electricity was Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario who could in fact follow through. It would definitely be the nuclear option but it would disrupt the power grid of several norther states we border.
I don’t think it will come to that. I think the orange idiot just wants some politicians to grovel and pay his tithe at the last minute so he can feel powerful. He’s “warned” of tariffs too many times to make me think he’s serious.
I’m in a pickle. Got proton and my own domain for email so I would be able to make an easy switch… but now I have masked emails for dozens if not hundreds of account logins.
Fair assumption. In this fictional scenario I think there would for sure be a Q-Anon style contingent who would believe the world leaders colluded with some kind of audio deep fake.
I believe most republicans crave power at all costs and they want their team to keep winning. They will tolerate a cheater and a criminal that gets results but they will not abide a pathetic loser that makes them all look small by association.
It was definitely not meant to be mean-spirited. A rising tide should lift us all. Selfishly, I imagine the good a few hundred million people could do for the rest of the world if suddenly freed from these sort of unnecessary financial and social hardships.
Unless you’re filthy rich enough not to care about premiums and have millions invested in health insurance. Then you can pay your media outlets to manufacture rugged individualism and paint any common-good policy with the broad brush of communism.
Last year I went in for an organ removal: $0.
The hospital bill for my child’s birth: $0.
Regular quarterly family doctor visits for routine monitoring: $0.
The comments from Americans who move abroad to other countries and experience the healthcare of other developed nations is eye-opening. I truly hope people find the means to demand a better base level of care and join the rest of the modern world.
Now imagine if instead of paying a private corporation for the privilege of a deductible against a maximum coverage amount you instead paid a bit more income tax in exchange for free healthcare no matter how many times you needed it.
Based on other countries’ models the tax difference would have been less than $6k in all but the highest income brackets.
I want the premium vertical UI and ease of switching spaces in Arc but without the AI slop and venture-backed rhetoric about reinventing the browser.
The browser is fine. We need more companies that can fork the good parts of successful browser engines and remove the tracking and AI hype bloat. Those companies won’t make VC-level money but they could make decent year-over-year profit with a strong community following.
