Most of the arguments against that I've seen largely boil down to what-if worst-case scenarios, or bring up Canada's MAiD program (which was misused tbf and used for assisted suicide for mentally ill patients). There should be keen oversight from to make sure that doesn't happen.

I'm firmly in the camp that assisted dying should be legal. There is dignity in dying on your own terms, especially if you're terminally ill and only face pain and low quality of life going forward. There needs to be strong safeguards in place, but it shouldn't be stopped altogether.

Retreating here to get away from the Farage fellaters, Muskrat's cocksuckers and the actual fucking Nazis. I'm tired of all this now.

It's better than chucking it in a landfill where it'll remain for thousands of years. At best you'll get a bit of methane gas from that, incinerator plants can provide power and heat for thousands of homes.

Why do they always act shocked? Oh this man that people have been complaining about for years for being weird and creepy is actually a predator? A complete surprise! Would never have guessed it!

As someone from the UK, the loss of coal mining jobs is just kinda something that has to be put up with. The lucky ones will reskill and move into emergent industries like the services sector, the unlucky ones who won't or can't will be unemployed for the rest of their lives.

Honestly wearing masks should have become more commonplace after the pandemic but we just went back to default

Elongated Muskrat doesn't know what the government does, or at least he doesn't appreciate the full scope of it.

If you cut 1% of the defence budget, you could give every American free healthcare for the year. Also, universal healthcare would save money as the government wouldn't have to give billions to prop up insurance companies, most of which goes directly into the CEO's bank account. Deny. Defend. Depose.

It's the likes of AOC who need to step up as leaders for the Democrats in the future. Trump winning again proves people want change, and the Democrats rn represent the status quo. That needs to change if the Democrats are to stand any chance in 2028 and beyond.

Don't necessarily need skilled workers. Trade jobs require a few months of training and you gain experience on the job. We built an economy on an educated population supplemented with foreign labour, but now we can't get the labour and the ones we do have can't work because they can't be processed.

Maybe because we left one of the largest labour markets in the world

And give favouritism to the companies that are friendly to the regime. Hitler did it with Porsche, Mercedes and BMW and they got massive contracts to build engines for tanks and warplanes.
