Saw another article in the @theglobeandmail.com about the cost of renewables. Yet again, only renewables are not allowed to be a cause of increased energy prices. Everything on this earth is allowed to increase energy prices, just not wind and solar power, or battery storage.

Thanks to having started my career in small towns that no one else wanted to go to, I was spared the urban liberal brainwashing that companies somehow "invest" in labor.

What kind of fucking lunatics actually think recruitment is meritocratic? Probably people who get their jobs through connections, it's always them.

I thought Americans were bad with their insistence that the Democrats are just playing chess in a higher dimension you can't possibly understand. But Canadian liberals are even worse.

This is actually incredible. Who exactly is responsible for the party's ineffectiveness then? Ilhan Omar? The interns? What are they so experienced at, losing?

Meanwhile, working middle-aged adults and pensioners feel emotions like denial, confusion, and obliviousness, and they're somehow allowed to vote.

What does it even mean to strengthen fiscal policy? Is it expansionary or contractionary? Does it have regressive or progressive distributional effects? I'm not even gonna read.

People growing up in the western world are generally taught that this kind of behavior is negligible on a macroeconomic scale. But is it really?

Is there anything useful left in the aftermath of an AI bubble? Maybe you can use the data centers as warehouses or concert venues?
