The Democratic party is too big of a tent, trying to merge blue collar workers, academic hippies, and champagne liberals. It doesn’t work, it is failing as a party.

1. Livestock accounts for about 20% of greenhouse gasses and 65% of agricultural land is used to grow feed for animals.

2. It can’t always be the carrot … sometimes it needs to be the stick.

Still, people eating too much meat.

You’re going to flip when you find out that some people eat 10 x 6oz of meat a day.

That’s the problem with the politics of the USA One group wants higher prices of meat, and gas. Laws about safe working conditions. Environmental laws about dumping chemicals.
Second group wants lower prices on everything, wants bigger trucks, bigger houses, overseas vacations 4x year, eat more meat.
Though they both complain, they’re complaining about two incompatible things.

Countries without auto manufacturers have better public transit.

50% of the Internet is paid trolls, it’s not ignorance.

It’s like a slow slide into civilization oblivion. Everything all at once seems to be getting worse. Housing costs are up, teaching salaries are down, kids aren’t learning as fast. Food prices, obesity, falling health standards. Oversized cars, suburban sprawl, lack of investment in public transportation. A.I. constantly giving wrong answers, doubling work.

10 million Cuban. I don’t think the US knows what it’s getting into if that amount of people get destabilized. The whole Caribbean then starts to domino.

This shouldn’t be called a ban. This should be called the Great Beautiful Clean Healthy Pizza Law.

There should be an option of going to a simpler airshow. Planes takes off, circle the airfield and land, one after the other.

Things like this bug me. That’s the property tax for 20 people. That’s a month’s rent for 200 people. That’s a yearly wage for 5 people in Ontario.

Like you I’m not a huge fan of religious boards. But, I do think a city like Toronto needs to leverage language courses to be productive.

Ideally the TCDSB and the TDSB should be merged.
Then the trade colleges should be merged into the TDSB, like Humber and Seneca.

That way there is no gap for students. Kids don’t have to apply to enroll in a trade like truck driving, or car mechanic, or carpenter. These are just extra courses starting in high school. This way the entry into the trades is streamlined.

In a large city like Toronto, one of the city’s strengths is how many languages are spoken. This should be encouraged.

The TDSB and other large school boards in Ontario should really be expanded to teach truck driving. They already have the administrative faculty in place, so offering an extra course is not a big challenge.
Push the bad career colleges out.

Yes. It’s the bots, see Gersham’s law 'bad comments drive out good comments.

I find a billion to be too hard to conceptualize, but the amount becomes more salient when stated in houses. Too bad I can’t just circle on a map $1,000,000,000 worth of property for a better understanding of the total amount.

1B = 1,000 homes = 4,000 people housed

50B = 50,000 homes = 200,000 people housed

20week of this * 200,000 people a week that could be housed = 4,000,000 people that could have be housed

Car industry starts just before WWI.

Roaring 1920s. 10 years good.

Bankrupt in the 1930s. 10 years bad.

Good run from 1949 to 1979. 30 years good.

Almost bankrupt again in the early 1980s. 10 shaky.

Dirty 90s, with bailouts. 10 years shaky.

Sputtering along since 2000-2025. 25 shaky.

Equals:

40 good years.

10 bad years.

45 shaky years.

Might as well just boil up a handful of grass from the local park, about the same.
