I still oppose radical gender ideology and Critical Race Theory in schools. I still believe that biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s prisons. But I will not stand by while LGBT rights are legislated away.

The classic "fuck everyone, I want mine" mindset.

The Oligopoly "We're going to use this government money to fund share buy backs and to fatten our pockets."

Build fiber to rural areas so they won’t need Starlink

Canadian Government "Sorry, the best I can do is get three companies that are an oligopoly to one day, maybe, fix this."

Standing in a middle of a torrential downpour, completely soaked, getting sick, and tired.
Hails a cab
Sees that it is a cybertruck
"I would prefer to die right now then get into one"
Stops hailing for a cab

Ummm Joni ain't wrong. We are all going to die.

Just some of us will die from a 100% preventable and treatable illness with no access to health care.

I was wondering when ol' Trumpy would start talking about making Canada, a "state".

In theory yes, less employees means the value of labor goes up because of demand. This is what happened after the Black Death in Europe.

In the wake of the drastic population decline brought on by the plague, wages shot up, and labourers could move to new localities in response to wage offers. Local and royal authorities in Western Europe instituted wage controls. The government controls sought to freeze wages at the old levels before the Black Death. Within England, for example, the Ordinance of Labourers, enacted in 1349, and the Statute of Labourers, enacted in 1351, restricted both wage increases and the relocation of workers.[30] If workers attempted to leave their current post, employers were given the right to have them imprisoned. The statute was poorly enforced in most areas, and farm wages in England on average doubled between 1350 and 1450,[31] but they were then static until the late 19th century.[32]

Cohn, comparing numerous countries, argues that the laws were not designed primarily to freeze wages. Instead, he says that the energetic local and royal measures to control labour and artisans' prices were responses to elite fears of the greed and the possible new powers of the lesser classes that had gained new freedom. Cohn continues that the laws reflected the anxiety that followed the Black Death's new horrors of mass mortality and destruction and from elite anxiety about manifestations, such as the flagellant movement and the persecution of Jews, Catalans (in Sicily) and beggars.

Of course nothing will stop the ruling class from fuckery.

So, all these "manly" men need a fluffer to make them more "manly"?

South Fulton City manager Jeff Vowell confirmed the Cranicks had not paid the fee, which has been the department's policy since 1990. Cranick said her failure to pay was an oversight.

"I've paid it many, many times," Paulette Cranick said, "I just haven't gotten around to it (this year)."

Cranick pointed out that the fire station is on the edge of town and "we don't go out that way every often."
