Its interesting how the left who want a social safety net and a minimum wage now desire illegals and high levels of immigration. Even Bernie Sanders had once called it a plan by the Koch Brothers to debase salaries and undermine unions.

After the inflation it was done in many countries to cease wage pressure, as inflation causes wage pressure via more consumption of goods and high demand, on account of the grown money supply.

By debasing the salaries you entrench the created asset inequality and prevent cost of living adjustments from keeping pace with inflation, which the left then bemoan and call the rich greedy; as if they were the ones debasing their workers salaries and inflating their own asset values.

He’s just breaking our dependence on oil, he’s a green party infiltrator.

Motorola is making a graphene OS phone soon.

The US supports monopolies as long as they have a backdoor. It was the same with Microsoft in the 90s.

Its interesting to see the same people calling for governmental social media censorship also calling for Trump to stop lying to them. Do they realize he is part of the government, or that he will be the one to control it?

I mean I think we agree on a lot, but you’re fine to put the cart before the horse. You’d rather ad hominem attack people as racist rather than acknowledging reality of our current circumstances, while I’d just prefer the poor aren’t continuously ground into dust by bad policy that debases salaries and exacerbates shortages.

Excuse my rudeness, its been rough watching a decade of this.

People love blaming grocery stores for the price of goods, while ignoring the QE and 8% annual money supply growth that is actually debasing their salary.

Walmarts margins are ass, its a boomer consumer staple investment with a low volatility that can withstand a recession, its not Google with its 33% profit margin.

If we had limited money supply growth your employer would need to cut your salary every year for your cost of living adjustment, and you’d see your purchasing power automatically rising every year.

Being low skilled matters because they aren’t doctors or nurses, and tend to be fast food workers or uber drivers. Whether they were doctors in their own country is irrelevant, as this is a problem with the mass immigration policy regardless.

They also tend to require more government support than the taxes they contribute since Canada has a highly progressive tax policy. So we had capital shallowing, wages were depressed via diminished wage pressure, and now we have a failing social safety net and failing food bank system.

In April 2022, the federal government announced changes to the TFWP that would ease hiring caps for low-wage workers, remove hiring restrictions based on regional unemployment and extend work permits (Employment and Social Development Canada, 2022). Additional measures were announced later in in 2022, including a possible 18-month extension for post-graduate workers whose permit did or would expire between September 2021 and December 2022 (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, 2022).

Calling anyone who disagrees with answering the Tim Horton’s lobbyists calls for cheap labor a racist is how we got here, the neo-liberals have been weaponizing language. So sure the housing shortage is caused by regressive and sprawled zoning laws, high developer taxes, greenbelt, etc, but in the end immigration should be tied to housing completions, and you’re a fool who hates poor Canadians if you disagree.

We’re watching Microsoft ruin another company. Its like if EA or IBM buys something, its enshittified and rent seeking occurs for shareholders.

Once this Windows monopoly has passed due to the abysmal quality it will hopefully be over, and hopefully AI helps remove barriers to file portability to hasten their demise.

Mass low skilled immigration really didn’t affect wait times you think?

Or insane things like this:

Well sure, but all the metal processing is China, I assume most people don’t understand the intricacies.

I don’t get the reference, but it seems very wise.

Well I go by wait times generally. They were reasonable during Harper.

I mean you’re talking about removing an energy export and replacing it with imports. How do we get the money to begin with to pay for the solar and batteries we will need to import from China, who refine all the rare earth and builds all the solar panels using cheap coal?

Sure and how much of that was things like their REIT, or the higher margin non-food items? Loblaws is a franchise so like McDonalds, it makes money from owning and leasing land if I’m not mistaken.

In the end you’re taking a risky gamble when its pretty obvious food prices are elevated due to all the Covid stimulus we printed, and it wont come down unless the money supply falls. We are still buying half of all mortgage bonds to artificially inflate asset values, while people complain about “greedy grocery stores” as if they are fully to blame.

Ya I mean you wont have a social safety net then, as is shown by our failing healthcare and infrastructure after we did mass immigration; you’re essentially enacting a far right libertarian policy at that point.

Ironically he also wants to kill one of our largest exports by stopping pipelines, so fewer jobs that are being debased by a large influx of labor, failing services from a lack of tax revenue and productivity, and I think you can see how this far left fantasy ends in ruin.

I’d also say the BoC is ringing the alarm bells on investment into Canada, it seems people dont trust this place to put their money, and that makes us poorer. The idea that “tax the rich” is a panacea is silly.

Is he wrong then for banning its use?

Why do you think we ever have different washrooms for men and women, what was their purpose for existing and how did they become so ubiquitous despite being an additional cost to businesses?

What should the law be, everyone can use any washroom they want essentially, kind of a libertarian style system that removes all restrictions?
