I just don’t see anything that could change the direction of this trend anytime soon. The only thing I’ve heard that could is a national public grocer as proposed by some voices in the NDP. Until that or some other radical solution is implemented, food cost has nowhere to go but up. But no one else is proposing anything radical.
To expand a bit, the US embargo makes it so third countries don’t sell to Cuba. E.g. French firms no longer sell equipment and service needed for maintaining the electric system. Even if Cuba can afford it.
Things are about to get worse thanks to the US neocons disrupting oil supply.
I’m guessing the old plot is gonna be given to his donors who didn’t get the promised Greenbelt land.
Been using Jenkins since before it was called Jenkins. It’s been in use at every corpo I’ve worked for. It can practically do anything. Especially coupled with Docker.
That’s not certain to be true. Also the existence of these guns can be helpful to an organized resistance, should one appear. So if I were in the US and could afford it, I’d get some weapons and store them for whenever needed, by whoever, not necessarily me. Worst case scenario (or best) - they never get used.
Ex-chief of staff in 3, 2, …
Government satisfaction has remained steady since September, with 11% satisfied (-1 vs September) and 82% dissatisfied (n/c), net of -71.
At this point the Labour gov’t might no longer be working to attempt to redeem itself. Instead ram through unpopular, donor-friendly deals before their power expires.
The controversial Victims of Communism memorial in downtown Ottawa will no longer feature the names of specific individuals after federal officials determined a significant number could be linked to the Nazis.
It’s pretty common for victims of communism initiatives given who the communists fought.
There are counterexamples for sure but there are whole indistries that fell over to this pattern. E.g. TVs.
Unlikely. Their ODM bought them. Our home maps would however become part of their property. While I’m not happy about it, I think I prefer that than Amazon having it tbh.
Yet another example that the firms that actually make the things are the ones that matter in the long run.
Apparently Picea makes Roomba, Shark, Anker (Eufy). Maybe also some Dyson.
Oh yeah, we’re not in a good place. Neither is Venezuela, and likely neither is Cuba as a result of this shit show. I’m really disheartened at the moment. I think the meme is just cope for me, really hoping this ends up being just another distraction that blows up in their faces before they go through with it. 😔
This Frank McCourt guy seems to be behind some investor consortium bidding to buy TikTok called The People’s Bid for TikTok. A consortium also joined by fucking Kevin O’Leary. From their website:
The People’s Bid for TikTok is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Americans to reclaim their digital identities and have a voice, choice, and stake in the future of the internet.
A bunch of billionaires bidding for TikTok are dressing this as “people’s bid.” Fucking surreal.
Good article. I was surprised by the reason.
But how would the owners of these coal and gas plants recover their investments??
Yeah, multi-megawatt wind turbines are pretty common.
