Thank you for taking the time. I think I was just pigeon-holeing myself in regards to this exact situation and how silly I found it that people were happy to blame Carney specifically within hours of a story (about a private company doing evil) getting published, literally less than a few weeks totally of them specifically doing this particular evil.

I agree with “the government as a whole institution is to blame.” For having this type of private business at all.

I don’t mean to be obtuse, I just really am not sure what you are telling me. Are you saying the Prime Minister (Carney, Trudeau, Harper, earlier?) should have already shut them down?

'Aight. You really showed me with your not-at-all-defensive-bordering-on-demented response. I think I’m coming around to your well reasoned argument!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

I think this might be a little different. It’s a private company, and I’m not familiar with the Rom situation. I truly don’t know the laws or rules that would govern this sort of thing. We shall see.

And nothing of value was lost.

Being unable to read a sign posted every 200metres and act accordingly is a moral failing.

You are right that there are better ways to “guide” selfish idiots into driving slower, and the set fine means that it stings people like me (thanks for the underhanded insult though!) ruins others and means nothing to some. That’s a much bigger societal problem.

What does this have to do with our Prime Minister knowing about a large Canadian Company providing services to build a concentration camp?

Reality is just a bit out of reach sometimes eh?

It’s ok. Live in your weirdly specific 90’s movie trope where you are mad as hell at your BF but they have no clue because literally nobody will communicate and everyone assumes someone else told them.

Or… Hear me out. Wait literally 1 business day. Then if he hasn’t said anything, be the change you want to see in the world and send this article and anything else you can find to him.

Then by all means, removed and moan if it helps you cope with this dystopia. We are all trying to get through. I just personally only have so much energy, I’d rather spend it on actual shit choices that have been made and not on something he has almost no control over and probably doesn’t know about yet.

Lol on a Tampabay newspaper article posted to Lemmy 42 minutes ago.

Yeah I’m sure he’s right on top of this. Shame on him for not already condemning it!

Fun fact: once people get ticketed, by and large they slow down. Then once enough people on the route get a ticket, TRAFFIC slows down.

Source: I was there for Parkside. It was wild watching more and more people shift to a slow speed. You could literally tell who’d been ticketed for a few weeks in the middle. There was a short time where I’d call it “chaotic” because enough people were slowed down but a large enough percentage were still speeding and you basically had a road with 2 speed “limits”

Within a few months it had all settled and now people drive slower there. I got one ticket. I paid it.

Right so that’s everybody saved then! Certainly there isn’t anyone who can’t work a literal part time job, or " volunteer" for some giant multinational that has the authority to sign off on your Medicaid.

What a shit hole… And thats the positive spin…

Not reading article, don’t actually care. American Express can suck it. They put the average person through hell to get $10,000 credit. They should have been more responsible with this person. Unless they can show they did the usually consideration, gradually upping her credit over time with responsible limits, that’s just the risk of doing business.

Ok I caved and read the article. Lady makes bank (or was faking). Why did she need a $600k+ limit? What is she putting on a credit card that would lead to that amount in such a short time? American Express wanted their cut, they got burned.

What? Why would they?

But hunters are specifically trying to call them in to shoot them. This is more like catch and release fishing, you are just making the bird late for something…

? What do you mean? It will be even cheaper to use immigrants now because they will have even fewer protections, and you can always cycle out all the complainers and anyone who takes too long to get anything done.

“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”

Elbows off the table.

I believe they are referring to Jhaj.

It’s cops talk for "we for some reason can’t name the person you are asking about, but we are investigating a person who exactly matches their description.

Translation: “we wish to look like we are doing our jobs”

Emphasis on START digging. I thought that was a terrible article. All questions, almost no answers.
