You have to look at how corporations and taxes kind of work. Remember that the corporation is not the end user of that money, that money will either be used to pay dividends which are currently ALSO taxed or reinvested at some point. So - if a corporation pays a divided then it still pays tax...

https://financialpost.com/opinion/opinion-theres-no-such-thing-as-a-free-lunch-especially-with-government-spending This is the whole political drive that lead to Modern Monetary Theory - which basically says you can print an infinite amount of money provided you raise taxes to slow things down...

Well there's little doubt this gov't is all about control and tracking. A digital id certainly makes tracking people's movements and activities an order of magnitude more easy.

I think that brings us back to the 'holes are social constructs' part of the conversation. Nicely symmetrical.

Crap - the pothole's lawyer showed up. Sorry - i meant to say "materially challenged road space". We can fix this, i'll grab some blackto... NOPE NOPE - i meant ASPHALT - what? Who said that? Some of my best friends are potholes!! Oh, is that a door? THUMP Thump thump thump thump

If that's the only thing in your life our current 'social constructs' mess up, pay the bill and consider yourself damned lucky.

https://financialpost.com/real-estate/housing-correction-gaining-pace-to-continue-through-next-year-report So housing was unaffordable for most in 2019, and prices will still be above that. BUT - for those who need a mortgage the actual monthly COST of that home will STILL be at the current...

As society has determined, holes are a social construct and don't really exist. Rehab usually.

Ask yer mother, you cheeky thing. :ROFLMAO:

[regarding Hotblack Desiato] He's spending a year dead for tax reasons. -Ford Prefect

I've never been more thankful that i started working from home.

I guess basically you cease to exist as far as the gov't is concerned whenever they crash hard. I dunno - I mean, so you spend a few days a year legally dead. That might be no so bad, "Sorry boss can't come in today, the gov't crashed and i'm legally dead. I hope to be better tomorrow". Good...

Well in fairness i think we can both agree his problems weren't due to his election strategy :;) And it's an inevitable strategy that you would focus most strongly on the messages to your core during a leadership and then broaden the message after. There's nothing wrong with that of course, as...

Well one would expect him to be vague at this point, only a fool gets into specifics this far out from an election, but it's also the case that hes' been focusing his messaging on conservatives. After he wins he'll most likely broaden his messaging to be a little more inclusive and touch on how...

https://tnc.news/2022/08/10/digital-identity-program/ From the people who brought you Arrcan. What could go wrong.

I have to wonder if he cares. I think by next election he qualifies for his pension and i think he knows he's probably gone after that. I actually thought he put up a pretty decent campaign last time and nobody bit. Barring a miracle, he'll likely barely hold his seats next time and will more...

Do you mean that? oh.... wait...

He might have won. People are pretty sick of JT - they might have been willing to give JC a chance. Campaigns matter and Jean is no stranger to campaigns. He doesn't always win them ;) but he's experienced. And the nice thing about being too liberal is that the liberals can't use that against...

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-ndp-leader-jagmeet-singh-may-also-be-its-destroyer Historically the lesser party in these kinds of 'deals' tend to suffer a great deal at the polls next election. That's true even if people approve of the deal overall in the meantime. And you can bet...

When push comes to shove, quite possibly not. But - there is a tendancy for people to go with the name they recognize if you catch them a little off guard. I don't think Charest's chances of actually winning an election are all that great,
