Honestly, it makes me laugh when leftists are angry that disney lost the reedy creek improvement district because it should be the exact sort of thing that they would have fought against at any other point in history. It's a big business getting to form the local government of a place.

Nobody gets to create their own government. Mines don't get to do that, not since the 1800s, factories don't get to do that, but somehow Disney can do it and not only is it ok but the people who used to claim to be against big business fight for it like idiots because the TV told them to.

I'd like to throw a different idea out there, most tech companies just employ way too many damn people. What exactly does Spotify need 10,000 employees for? They do music streaming, and probably don't even run their own servers.

That's a phenomenal article.

A lot of people don't realize there's a lot of jobs other than CEO, and they need to get done if they're glamorous or not.

Like come on man, you need to fight the serpent so you can free your father from the belly of the whale!

Yeah... Hoping there's a change in leadership soon who can stop breaking the damn place, it used to be a really nice place to live.

Once pot got legalized in Canada they sprung up everywhere because there's tons of pent-up demand. Yes, high margins (or at least they expect high margins and so people have opened a ton of them, we'll see if there are long-term)

Basically ways to print money.

I remember someone showed me what the used market looks like in europe, it's night and day. I think there's 2 factors at work. First was the cash for clunkers program that helped take tons of used cars off the market and destroy them. The other is the mass availability of credit that has meant it's way too easy to spend a lot of money on a piece of crap car and helped build up an industry around companies massively overcharging for crappy used cars which means that the price keeps creeping up and up and up since there's so much money to be made.

There's 3 things we have a lot of in my city: Pot shops, payday loan places, and used car lots. Guess what they have in common?

No argument there. I'm seeing 10 year old vehicles with 200,000 miles going for tens of thousands of dollars. Like.. What the hell is wrong with people?

For sure, but what sucks is it happened in the entire vehicle market.

Little lady wanted us to look at a minivan, and when I saw a new one is $70,000 -- Like... what?! Who is buying new vehicles at this point?

Lol "we pushed companies to doing unsustainable things and now we're shocked that there are consequences"

Yes, that happens pretty much every time, which is why every communist country ends up with famines.

It blows me away the people whining that the cyber truck isn't the price they expected it to be 5 years ago.

If you're go to a dealership near me you can't get *any* truck for $36,000, much less one made with cutting edge EV tech with a stainless steel body and frame. It's like people don't realize the past 5 years had consequences.

(not that much?)

Just imagine: if they build the line and there's terrorists there then suddenly we'll get to see spec ops: the line irl

I've seen redditors in the streets.

It looked a little like this:

The double standards are disappointing in that regard too.

2000 they cried that the election was illegitimate.
2004 they cired that the election was illegitimate (due to voting machines, no less!)
2008 they said the elections were perfect
2012 they said the elections were perfect
2016 they said the election was illegitimate
2020 they said the elections were perfect

hmmmmm...

Honestly, I saw the story but I have to admit, I call bullshit on the idea that the vaccines were so overwhelmingly lethal.

If that many people died, we'd know without a study or a whistleblower or anytihng -- we'd know because everyone would know multiple people who died from the shot.

Canada had an 85% vaccination rate among adults before the goal posts shifted, and I absolutely saw an overwhelming prevalence of bad side effects of the vaccine (I slept for an entire day and night after taking it, my father was going to do a contracting gig and he was so sick from the shot he had to quit, and several people I worked with told me stories about how bad the vaccine made them feel), I'm not aware of anyone who died of the shot.

I got blocked by Jeff Cliff for pointing out this about both covid itself and covid vaccines -- if either one was as lethal as claimed, you wouldn't need to measure deaths with a micrometer, we'd all know lots of people who died.

Here's an example (not the one I'm going to talk about, but this is the website):

There was a bill going through that directly impacted me, so I was paying close attention. It was around budget time so I got to read members of provincial parliament arguing whether a certain line item on the budget went up from last year to next year or not.

I don't know why exactly anyone in comics gate would have to steal from their customers. They're charging like $85 for a comic book. The scam is already built into the price...

(Except Tennapel. His books are works of art worth the price)

Just more evidence that January 6th was a coup, but not the coup that everyone thinks.
