I’m a terrible capitalist, but I absolutely invest according to my morals. The “vote with your wallet” mindset. I’d rather lose money than finance evil assholes.

The impression I’m getting is that tariffs aren’t necessarily bad for business, but they are indeed for consumers.

That’s great advice! I joined the PC’s one year (because it was $5) I’m a very NDP type guy but I was hoping to steer towards a better political leader unfortunately Shear won. I got to see all his emails though and that showed me how awful he was as a candidate and probably a person.

I agree. I just don’t want to talk up Carney, I’d rather he show us why he’s awesome. And I want PP to show us why he’s an asshole.

Looks like linoleum lol

It’s the enshittification of democracy.

not so loud let PP make his fuck up that’s bound to be in the works.

Very well done. I chortled twice and smiled like an idiot through most of it. Carry on.

Never hurts to dream…

Depends on the store. Mine is absolutely terrible.

With the way dams seem to be failing in the US, maybe this is a preventative measure? /s

That’s why they pay cops so well.

I’m old and yet I barely remember. They were the first big chain to go in Canada. Quickly followed by Simpson’s.

I meant Canada, where they closed in the 80’s. No idea of the heritage.

I’m more amazed by Woolworths still being in the a thing! They had the weirdest lunch counter when I was a kid.

I’m not talking about the launch tower, I’m talking about the rocket. You can watch the live stream and see puffs of vapour regularly. It being a rocket there are very few things that gas could be. Some of it is nitrogen, sure, but the thing is 95% methane and oxygen and there is certainly very little nitrogen associated with the engines. I’m sure they’re not looking to dump it with no regard, unless they carry on with the “autogenous thrusters” which involves using propellant for maneuvering.

As for Mars, I think that’s total bullshit. His big idea was to corner the wireless internet market. He used Mars to sell it to us.

I was all in on space exploration. I followed the grasshopper. I watched the early landing attempts. I eagerly watched the Boca Chica developments. I watched the first full stack starship lift off…

And suddenly I had an ache in my gut. I instantly realized this was never about space exploration. This is about being the first guy in a new area of resource extraction. This is Musk pushing to be the first Spaniard in the New World to plunder all the riches before the next guy can get there. The “No planet B” is just a bullshit line to mask the unfettered greed that actually drives Musk.

By the time we have starship flying as planned, the earth will be a burning husk less habitable than the destination.

The rocket is reusable to increase profit. It does not “help the environment”. Methane burns “clean”, but only when it burns. When it’s leaked by venting, engine startup and shut down, and RUD’s it probably classifies as “the most potent greenhouse gas” injected into a region of atmosphere that’s never really seen pollution yet.

Yes, the engineering is incredible. But I can’t help but think of the associated costs.

All of these make sense. All the others seem like crazy talk.
