It starts with a failure to see what has been a process ongoing for decades. A watershed moment in the growth of this phenomenon was the publishing of an essay in the New York Times in September of 1970 titled "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits" by economist...

Using the US as an example, the richest three people in the country hold more wealth than the poorest 180 million. Doesn't that seem just a little out of balance ? Poverty, hunger, homelessness, illiteracy, preventable disease, polluted air and water, just about every negative issue that we...

I'm suggesting that big business and big money have called the shots not because of who is in power, but despite who is in power. Our so-called elected officials, no matter what their political stripe, are less than influential when it comes to affecting corporate policy.

I don't disagree with those sentiments, the decisions "at the top" are more and more made by the very rich to assure the endurance of the very rich, and as has been the trend for the last fifty years or so, the middle class takes it in the ass. Issues like economic and social equality and...

One among thirty-eight million. Let's give them all some air time, okay? That shouldn't take long. You seem to be hinting that proper democratic process should result in everyone getting what they want, that's not the way it works.

That's your beef, is it? Nobody asked for your input? What's your background ? Epidemiology? Virology? Maybe economics? It's simple really, the urgency of this thing just didn't allow giving everybody who might have read some snippet from some unknown "specialist" on facebook time at the...

Actually the Government Covid tracker site puts Manitoba currently way out in front, with Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario following in that order. Covid Case Rate per 100,000

Sounds like that's a possibility. Our future is in the hands of the boneheads. Not exactly encouraging.

The US is at a point where over 40% of their population is fully vaccinated, and their new case numbers reflect that. Canada has been concentrating on getting everyone who wants it their first dose, and has struggled with supply issues more than the US. The US is now meeting resistance to...

Tough question. The situation evolved very quickly in the beginning and there was a lot of conflicting information. It's easy to criticize looking backwards, but for the most part we are getting ahead of it now. Interesting that the two remaining hotspots in the country are areas where the...

Beats the stuffing out of your "open the bars and git at er" plan. I'll stick with mine thanks, there's some actual thought behind it.

Thankfully, the boneheads are vastly outnumbered and we will likely beat this thing back despite their resistance, it's just going to take a little longer. In the meantime the vaccination passport program should help a bit in keeping the rest of us insulated from them.

That's not the half of it, they're putting chemicals in the water to help with their experiments on devising a gay bomb to keep Republican voters from having children, now the majority of frogs in the US are gay. Nasty, sinister Democrats.

I would accept that as a truism, just like "Lies are lies". It takes more to establish a "fact" than just saying it. Just find a reputable source, should be easy enough if indeed your "facts" are factual.

Which could just as well read: "After extensive investigation we have discovered that by 2050 what oil there is left in the ground in the oilsands will be so expensive to extract that we might as well close up shop anyways."

Without integrity their "facts" are worthless. If there is any substance to the claim it should be easy enough to corroborate it with more dependable sources. You're telling me I have to believe a known liar in absence of a different story ? That's not the way things work friend, you find a...

I found information to the effect that your source has a reputation for lying, that pretty much casts doubt on your claim right from the word go. Can you find a better source that makes the same claim ?

I look dumb ? I'm not the one quoting bullshit sites like The Red Elephants. Just because something shows up on the internet doesn't mean it's true, but that little bit of wisdom seems to be pretty far out of reach for many. That article deals with re-using masks, and even then they are...

"Gateway Pundit rated "Questionable source" for low factual reporting and extreme right bias." Even Fox news scores way better than fringe sites like this. You really have to consider what quoting sources like this does for your own credibility.

Not you apparently. Here's an interesting short read if you do that sort of thing: The really strange thing about now is that ignorance parades itself as enlightenment.
