Few years back? I can't remember a time when Seagate wasn't having problems. Hell back in the 90's it was so bad that you could get factory sealed boxes(80 units) all DOA. And a few years later, the same thing happened again, and again in the 00's. It leads me to believe that Seagate operates on a "just good enough" margin of failure, and sometimes when they try to shave a few extra pennies per unit, it leads to multiple failures or multiple batch failures.
Canada has not "lost" its culture, at least not due to multiculturalism. On the contrary, it has evolved into a mosaic of cultures from all over the world, but with a common theme of mutual respect and understanding.
Head into Brampton or Q-West and let me know if you still think that way. Watch out for the ghettos.
You mean like those projections that showed Hillary had a +90% of winning? Or the polls which had her leading by 10+ points in "very strong democrat states."
You don't get it do you? Blue collar workers have been putting up with their jobs being outsourced since the 1990's under various trade agreements. The white collar workers would go on and on about how those people should have gotten jobs just like them, and be safe from outsourcing. Now it's happening to those white collar workers who were smugly looking down. This backlash is decades in the making, and in some cases it's even worse on particular parts(especially racially) of the US then others. Hell, it's the same here in Canada. There are places that still haven't recovered from NAFTA, and that's in my own backyard.
These companies can stomp their feet all they want, and they can pump out the polls saying "look at all these people saying how much they hate Trump." But in 90% of the cases people fear a backlash against themselves and will lie about their actual answer for fear of being attacked. Either socially, or politically. That's one of the main reasons the polls were so wildly out-of-whack compared to the actual election. Even democrats are finally starting to get it. On top of that, it would have to take something massive and I mean truly massive at this point to stem the losses that Democrats have taken in the last decade. You know, like full-on-depression levels of economic collapse. And even then, the chances of that working are less likely then you think. Ask the NDP and Liberals here in Canada how well a similar plan worked out for them from ~2000-2015. I'll give you a tip: It didn't.
all those big wig IT executives that want to open the floodgates for refugees open their homes and guest houses to refugees
Not a chance. They'll do what the elitist pricks in France and Italy did while cheering on the "migrants" and so on. Cheer, cheer, cheer while they're flooding in and the average person gets fucked. Then when they show up on their door step, scream "help me police and government, you're our only hope." And build a wall or two while they're at it.
And around and around in circle's you go, but can't dispute my original post. Let me know when you get around to that. Dispute the content of my argument, go on. also let me know when all those left-wing Hollywood ideologues, reporters and politicans who were cheering on the riot at UC Berkeley.
It's very telling at just how scared the left are when they try to make the discussion about the "substance of a person" and not the "substance of their point."
If you were a college-educated, white, unemployed Canadian, just laid off from a corporate job, are you even willing to pick pumpkins, sort potatoes, pick strawberries, or hand-weed fields (yes we do hand weed 130 acres at a time sometimes), for any wage, even with room and board? From what I've seen first-hand, the answer is no, generally.
When I was a kid, going back over 30 years ago. Picking fruit, veggies, and so on were done by kids, and even adults wanting to make a bit of money. It was also the first indicator of what was happening, it wasn't that people didn't want to do it. Hell I made my money to goto university after I finished my apprenticeship. I know quite a few people in the "over 35 age bracket" who did the same thing. It was the government allowing corporate farms to import the labor and pay pennies per hour(pennies per bushel), for what was picked that stopped the people in Canada from doing the work. The first few years I had started doing it, I was making just shy of $9/hr, picking tobacco, strawberries, blueberries, rock picking and so on. The min. wage was $5.85/hr Within 4 years, that price had dropped to $1.60/hr. No one is going to work at a depressed wage like that.
So yes, you're wrong. There are plenty of people out there who'd do the work. Most people however will not work for what they pay now, which is like $4/bushel, around $2.80/hr(which is the average right now here in the SWON). Or $15/20kg of rocks from field clearing.
Charter schools would be a good improvement for the US. And unless you're enjoying your hyperbole. You can always look north of the border in Canada, where they've already implemented "centralized education." What happens? Valuation on useless degrees, the cutting and gutting of trades. Much useful. I'm sure all the kids who are now getting useless humanities degrees, when they could have picked up a trade is a dream world for you.
Come to Canada, the Trudeau government is trying to do exactly that with TFW's. Take a look at all the companies up here hiring TWF's, while the country sits between 6-20% unemployment. People working in the oil sands as killed labor? Well the company doesn't want to pay them those wages anymore so they fire them and hire some TFWs. Have a factory in NFLD which processes fish for consumers? Highly seasonal, but we'll just not hire the newfies who've been working it for years and paid at the min.wage. We'll hire some TFW's to do it and only have to pay them 1/2 to 2/3's the standard rate. Don't want to pay Canadian seafarers anymore? Just lay them off before Christmas and replace them with TFW's too.
So yep. At this point, let's see what happens when those cushy white collar jobs are threatened.
He sees no evil, hears no evil, speaks no evil, except on the left.
He is constitutionally incapable of it.
Thanks there oh anonymous coward, who believe that everyone to to the right of "authoritarian left" is in a right-wing echo chamber. You can't dispute or actually comment on the content of anything I've said, but like many on the left your first response is to label someone as "right-wing" as if it's a dirty word. Sorry, doesn't work anymore.
In other words, It's a matter of which country you are. I don't know, I fail to see any difference between the right and the left in this matter. Both, when they have enough power, begin trying to shut up the opposition.
Possibly. But let's look at the UK, Canada and US. Are people on the right using no-platforming? No. Are the left? Yes. You're familiar with no-platforming right? Which is the idea that "particular ideas are dangerous, thus must not be spoken about in any form." Are people on the right the ones out there rioting and threatening people? The answer is no. Are those on the left doing so? Yes.
There are more people self-identifying as members of antifa in the US then there are devout KKK members(around 5k). In Canada, there are more people who are antifa members then there are FLQ supporters. Let's look at universities here in North America. Want to have an anti-abortion protest? Who's shutting it down? It's not people on the right. How about a talk about men's rights? Again it's not people on the right. Let's go to environmentalism. People on the right aren't trying to shut it down, or even protest it. Let's look at pipeline protests, or mining. There's no "right wing" groups or people trying to shut them down.
The reality is the pendulum is currently stuck on "left authoritarianism" most of the west hasn't seen the right in any form of power for nearly 30 years. And the left in the west are the ones currently stifling speech. Hell, look at what happened at Berkeley. If you're unaware in the 1960's the left-freespeech movement started there. The right held educational capital, forward to two nights ago and what do we see? The left attempting to shut down speech and that's not an isolated case.
Shit, you guys should be HAPPY that we're digging our own graves here.
Well being a C-Libertarian, I am. Then again I'm not. You know why? Because politics requires dissenting points of view and a coherent opposition. The left(and progressives) decided to take crazy pills, embrace identity politics and intersectionality, say "fuck you" to everyone who doesn't bow to their agenda. And then when people decide they've had enough. They decided go absolutely bat shit insane and start down the path of violence. You know where that happened the last time? Right around 1988, with the conservatives and right. Took around 20 years to clean the shit out. So you guys can take your pick, clean up the mess while you've got a chance. Or let it fester and pretend it doesn't need to be fixed in which case it'll get much worse and when the necessary purges come, they'll be twice as bad.
The whole identity politics bit is pure cancer, and people all over the place have had it. Especially the whole race based pandering garbage, because *insert flavor of the month.*
You're biased, the right is just the same and get insulted very easily.
No, I'm seeing the reality of what the left has been moving towards for the last 20 years. It's the same reason so many other people have dropped from the left moving either towards the center or right. It's the same type of crap that progressives have been pulling against anyone who don't subscribe to the prevailing groupthink. Google those names I listed above, see who are trying to stop them from speaking. It's not the right jumping up and down and burning shit, threatening people or doxing them either. Those on the right may take offense, but that's where it actually ends.
Many right wingers would just immediately stop the conversation and cry about how leftists are shutting them up.
And yet here we are having a discussion on something. Truth to a point? It is the left who are trying to shut down their speech. You notice what went on in Berkeley last night? Got those lovely antifa and marxist-anarchists destroying shit and all those anti-milo protesters right out there, cheering them on. How about the no platforming? Remember when the courts ruled that universities can't use security fees to stifle freedom of speech? That was because leftist universities would charge conservative speakers $20k-30k for "security" to stop them from speaking. When you get bored, watch this. And remember, that those are leftists attempting to silence dissenting opinions with violence and it didn't start last night, or last week.
Hard to get one when your skills say you're worth $110k-180k/year and they want to pay someone to do the same job for $31-41k/year who will fuck everything up along the way. Sorry, but nobody except those who are desperate will willingly take a paycut like that.
Correction some people want an echo chamber. The ones most heavily invested in wanting an echo chamber these days are progressives and the far political left. You can see this whenever some conservative or libertarian tries to host a speech on a campus. Or they try to reinvent people as something else to exclude them. Good example? Camille Paglia or C.H. Sommers. Who the left now label as "right wing or far-right wing racists." They aren't any of the sort though, and the right listens and debates with them and themselves over what they have to say. Or you get to Milo. The gay-jew-practicing catholic who like black dick up his backside. And their label that he's a white-neo-nazi nationalist. Aka -- how dare that gay walk off the plantation! Quick label him as UNCLEAN!
And then you get to the leftwingers of those ideologies protest, assault, pull fire alarms and so on. Or on websites where they ban people who don't follow the narrative and group think. I think the funniest ones are the ones where subs have vague rules like "rabble rousing" aka shit-flinging. But will always temp or perm ban people of one political ideology. That goes on a lot in/r/politics/r/canada and/r/canadapolitics for example. Which of course is why subs like/r/the_donald are popular with even non-trump supporters. And/r/metacanada is ganing subscribers very quickly.
The left has a huge ideology and extremism problem. They're neck deep in identity politics. See the everyone I don't like is hitler or everyone is a nazi and nazi's should be punched. Or everyone is alt-right because they're the left of us.
This coming from the guy who still thinks gamergate is a "harassment group." But can't find any evidence to back it up, except a wikipedia page that is the best course of he-said-she-said and citeogenisis the world has ever seen. Oh the irony.
That FBI report must have been a huge blow to you. Read the talk page for wikipedia now, they're actually fighting over factual evidence which shows just how wrong they were and would have to rewrite the entire pile of garbage.
Yeah well subs like SRS, SRD, Circlebroke are still around. They do dox. Then there's the specialty subs like gamerghazi, which have doxed, and had a mod openly support doxing. Those admins did nothing to them. But, someone outside of their political spectrum drops a dox? They're all over it like flies on shit and either warn them, or ban them. Which shouldn't be a surprise, people could see which way this was going when reddit started banning subs a couple of years ago for "being mean."
So far the only ones that are being terrorists and being part of a hate group are the ctrl-left. You know the Marxist-fasicsts, social justice, antifa, and progressive types. They've been on display for a while. Pretty hard to find anything that the "alt-right" have actually done.
I'm guessing you haven't been paying attention for the last 10 years. Democrats are the authoritarian party these days, they're the ones lining up and pushing anti-constitutional amendments. Making the claims of "safe spaces" and support ideas like no-platforming. There's plenty supporters in their base that believe violently attacking people for having opinions that they disagree with is fine. The vast majority of universities fit solidly in the democrat camp as well, and they're also right there pushing for anti-free speech, trying to implement them. In various cases student unions use harassment and threats to try and stop people from speaking. Then there's the entire Title IX garbage that was pushed through as well. And the universities fell all over themselves implementing it with nary a word against it. And now you can see the absolute abuse that's being carried on by that, and how it's used to silence people with dissenting opinions.
Anyways, why bother with facts when you can use #alternativefacts, the latter doesn't even require any references.
You mean like the fact that actual "physical assaults" have gone through the roof? By nearly 1500% That's not the overly broad definition that people like trying to use. That's the definition that we'd use here in North America, meaning physical assault plus violent penetration. That the number of reported gang rapes has gone through the roof as well. Or that there's more cases of this type of garbage going on? One also can't forget that since they had that migrant surge and allowed all those people in, violent crime has jumped 300% Or that the swedish government seems to be scrubbing the backgrounds of the attackers out of crime stats or the media uses the "swedish men" claim when they aren't citizens, aren't naturalized, have no form of landed residence.
Those are facts. Much like the fact that the government leaned on the police and media in Germany to suppress the number of assaults during new years a few years ago. These are the same facts that Germany is currently facing, and France. It's why tour companies in Asia are telling tourists to avoid some Euro destinations because cities have become unsafe.
Really? Find someone over the age of 70 and they'll tell you all about it. Also using a 1/4 shot of gin(or rum whichever was cheaper) was used quite often as well, usually mixed in with their milk. That was very common in poor neighborhoods where they couldn't afford pain medicines, but alcohol could be bought cheaply or made at home. Same reason why people used to grow opium here in North America, the cost of prescription drugs for pain was outside the scope of many people to pay for. And it could also be traded for food staples when times were tough.

Seagate had a real rough period a few years back
Few years back? I can't remember a time when Seagate wasn't having problems. Hell back in the 90's it was so bad that you could get factory sealed boxes(80 units) all DOA. And a few years later, the same thing happened again, and again in the 00's. It leads me to believe that Seagate operates on a "just good enough" margin of failure, and sometimes when they try to shave a few extra pennies per unit, it leads to multiple failures or multiple batch failures.
You know the difference between a chance of winning and a list of margins right? Yeah I didn't think so.
Apparently more so then you, and bookies in Vegas when I walked away with my $4k.
Canada has not "lost" its culture, at least not due to multiculturalism. On the contrary, it has evolved into a mosaic of cultures from all over the world, but with a common theme of mutual respect and understanding.

You can hang yourself by your own petard all you want then. Even us "free speech" folks have lines that get drawn at the abuse of children.
Maybe you can tell everyone why you're pro-child rape?

That I wouldn't doubt. That stuff is in my own backyard and was really common in the upper/lower Canada and maritimes.
