The fact is, it's most likely because of the racist, bigoted, misogynistic bullshit that flows freely from republican politicians.
So is that anything like the racist, bigoted, misandrist bullshit that freely flows from democrat politicians, and their progressive supporters? I mean, you hear an awful lot of "kill whitey" "kill all men" "men are rapists" bullshit being spewed by them, but nobody on the left really puts their foot down over it.
You should remember that Clinton's impeachment was for lying, while in office. If you think people really give a shit about Trump banging someone while he wasn't even a political candidate you're right out to lunch. If you really want to fix your out-of-control healthcare costs, get obamacare cancelled. Keep in mind that Trump thinks very highly of Canada and Australia's immigration system, which work on a point-merit system. That of course would never work with democrats, who seem to believe that the only solution is open borders. As for social security? It's dead, been raided too often by too many governments repeatedly.
Remember Leland Yee? No? He was a democrat that went out of his way to decry and try to ban violent video games. Know what's special about that? Nothing really, until he was caught trying to illegally sell military hardware to gangs in California, illegally smuggled into the US from SEA. That's still not the interesting part, the interesting part is that the media went out of their way to avoid labeling him with his party affiliation.
On the other hand, let's take Roy Moore is always labeled with republican. And that type of lie-by-omission has been going on for quite a while.
Oh he was a normal guy alright, one the press didn't dig into. That was in over his head, you know who reminds me of him? Trudeau Jr. Feel good platitudes, while failing to understand the consequences of their actions. Anemic economic growth, low gdp, stagnant wages. So good for Canada, I mean USA. Want to know what's sad? That the only reason Canada hasn't slid into a recession is because of the booming growth in the US over the last 1.5 years. And that wasn't because those same policies that Obama engaged in weren't tried up here, oh they tried them very hard. I suppose there is that massive desire for selfies that they could bond over.
What was I supposed to be offended or bothered by with Obama? If he came back and deposed Trump, the entire world would be grateful.
By the way, what part of Obama was great? The part where he pissed away over a decade of trying to unfuck Afghanistan and Iraq? Or the part where he assassinated a leader of another country, plunged it into chaos, and enabled open air slave markets. That's the state of Libya today from his policy. It was also his policy that created ISIS, the "migrant crisis" in Europe. I suppose, that's good too. Just look at those success stories.
Sadly, I bet you're one of those people that are cheering for a recession to get rid of Trump. And of course in your selfishness, you don't realize the number of people that would be hurt by it or anything.
This is such a bizarre non-sequitur I just wanted to highlight it as a perfect example of the bizarre world Mashiki lives in. I don't know how logic works there, it seems like saying "Obama" or "her emails" is some kind of rational argument in that universe.
It's almost like dealing with a small child that's ignorant of the world. I'm sure your belief that communism really hasn't been tried brings you boundless comfort, and your desire to impose on another country after electing people in the UK which have decimated the country won't backfire at all.
Less ranting, I'll give you a chance to rewrite that first paragraph so it doesn't make my brain hurt from the insanity you just wrote.
And you know what else stinks of authoritarianism? Labeling the free press the enemy of the people. Threatening to retaliate against critics.
Nope. Authoritarianism would be shutting down the press, labeling it as an enemy of the public isn't. That's opinion, whether you like it or not. Want to know what was real authoritarianism against the press? When the Obama administration illegally wiretapped reporters phones, and used the intelligence apparatus to read their emails without a warrant. I'm sure you were jumping up and down screaming about this. In this case, anyone who isn't drinking koolaid already knows that the US press is compromised and comprised of people on the left, or far left. They don't wear it on their sleeves, they're shouting it from the rooftop. Don't believe me? That's okay. Even WAPO figured it out a few years ago, when they found that 96% of the reporters in the beltway were democrats, who donated to democrats, and wrote their stories nearly exclusively with a pro-democrat slant. And of course, there's also stuff from wikileaks for example. Of all those reporters taking DNC talking points/stories and publishing them directly or handing off their articles to people in the DNC to make sure they didn't paint them in a bad light. Strange that there seems to be a lack of that from the RNC isn't it?
Let me make this clear, this isn't the "sinclair broadcasting message" type of abuse. That was shit. Having reporters, hand off information to and from a political party in order to craft the "right kind" of message though? That's what's killing the media.
Using the bully pulpit of the Presidency to advocate companies fire your political enemies.
Sorry, I can't find any articles on that about Trump.
Supporting civil asset forfeiture and ending inquiries and consent agreements related to police civil rights abuse. Strong authoritarianism is a trait shared among both major parties.
You're not really going to get any huge complaints from me on civil asset forfeiture. But considering the previous president used those inquiries in order to strong arm police forces into not arresting people who committed violent crimes? You sure you want to go down this path and all that? Besides, you've got your body cameras now, which of course black activist groups are now screeching are a "civil rights violation" and all that.
So, can you explain why this has happened to Judicial Watch then? The only thing "inflammatory and lower the discourse" is that they bring forth embarrassing or criminal acts by the legal system or those in charge of it.
Post places, because looking through rental ads I can't find any. And the ones that you're talking about in a "new building downtown" don't exist, but they do seem to exist in the appt buildings from the 1970's that are in unsafe areas of the city for example.
So it's only "racism" if you're the person able to hear it then. Which of course is the entire premise behind the person who coined the phrase. That only the "woke" people are able to hear it because they're so special at being able to. What's that called kiddies? That's right! It's a purity spiral.
The Dems aren't being Shadow banned because, well, they don't have to use tricks to talk about their message
They don't? Oh boy did you miss 8 years of Obama or something. Or it could be, because the people who are banning them disagree with the message, because democrats and progressives are in a running purity spiral to show who has the most "pure" view. Of course, since that changes on a day-to-day basis, a person who's view is sufficiently pure or woke, can be tomorrows non-person. You only need to watch the DNC leadership debates for example, or various state level debates to see just how far this goes. Or the "woke" twitter mobs that have been going after peoples jobs for jokes like dongles, off-colour jokes, or wearing a shirt that they don't like.
Seriously, our media needs to stop giving equal time to both sides
Nice authoritarianism there, very nice. Wonder why people are fleeing the democrats and progressives yet? Anyone else remember when the left prided themselves on free speech, and equal points of view? Well it has been 30 odd years.
At a certain point both sides are not bad. One side is legitimately wrong.
Well people sure got a taste of what 8 years of progressive politics and hand wringing got them, it looks like they really didn't enjoy it. It also people don't particularly like the whole wokeness that the left are pushing with identity politics either.
And yet, in all those cases when you look at the reported wait times what do you see? That your uncle got treatment before most people, and most people wait up to 34 days for that. Good on him for getting into a hospital with a low wait time. Your best friend, is at a hospital where wait times are low. I'm guessing outside of the GTA, K/W and LHSC. Because those are around 21 days. Your wife got lucky on the biopsy because let me guess it was at the same hospital as your uncle? The wait time is around 61 days for a top priority patient.
but provincial governments negotiate substantial discounts with big pharma so drugs are much cheaper here.
Correction, all of the provinces buy drugs together. But if you haven't noticed the last 2 years there's been a substantial shortage of drugs in many areas because they've been buying for a "projected number of people based on trends" instead of the old way where if they're buying more then needed, and donating as required to other countries if they're approaching the shelf-life.
Except where you're waiting 21 days as a top priority cancer patient right? Or a week and change to have angioplasty done? In both cases, you're likely to die. Quickly and painfully but those are the norm, you did look up the numbers on those links right? No, I guess you didn't.
If you're diagnosed with cancer, or need a heart bypass, you'll be treated within days.
Well I guess 21 days, is within days right? I mean that's the length of time you'll wait right now in one of the largest hospital centers in Ontario(LHSC). That's for top priority cancer patients, it's supposed to be 7 days. For heart surgery, if you're a top 1, it is generally 1 day. They're also more likely to fly you to Toronto or Kitchener if you're at any hospital from say Brandford south to Windsor.
Want to know the difference between Toronto and SF? The average person in SF makes nearly $60k/year(converted) more then the average person in Toronto. The average housing price in Toronto is $1.58m as well. On top of that, your average taxes(all combined) in Ontario is around 43-45% of your yearly income.
There's an old joke in Canada, that Toronto believes it's the centre of the universe(or at least Canada). It's not far from the truth, every major company in Canada is either fully or partially headquartered there or within 150km of it. For tech, you're guaranteed front access to the best place in the country for internet as well. 151 Front St, basically every ISP connects there, and every data center in the country has a massive presence there. It's the heart of money in the country, seat of provincial government, and within ~5hrs(train), 4-6hrs car to Ottawa. Letting you get all the hobnobbing in that anyone who wants to make connections could care to do.
Downside to Toronto? Nearly 75% of the 1/3 of the population of Canada(Windsor to Ottawa) lives in the area. Your workers need massive pay to live there. The median housing price is $1.58M, but the average worker makes less then $60k/year. In my area, the average income is $43k/year(that's around 140km from Toronto), but the housing prices are well over $400k/year these days. There's a lot of commuting from London, Woodstock, Kitchener and Waterloo and Milton(from the south) into Toronto now as people have been priced out of housing, and that's *in* the tech sector. Renting? Ha good luck. When I was living on Broadview(that's just off the Danforth where the shooting was a couple of days ago back in '06ish), I was paying $1200/mo in a basement apartment and that was a deal. It's around $3800/mo right now, worse in other areas. Living in an apt. building, that has a literal roach problem can run you $4.2k/mo right in the downtown area.
On top of that living in Canada is expensive. Right now you're looking at $1.24-1.46/L($4.50-6/gal) for gas, you're going to drive a lot. Electricity during peak(8-20h) is $0.185kWh. Despite "free healthcare" you're gonna be waiting a long time for surgery, say 1.5yrs for cataract, 1-2mo for cancer diagnosis, another 1-3mo for starting treatment after that diagnosis. Up to 12mo for bypass surgery. On top of that, medications and dental aren't covered so you'll want to get supplemental health insurance from a company like greenshield.ca or blueshield.ca that'll help but figure $150-300mo/person. Many companies have some type of plan, but there's plenty that don't. Don't hope to have a family doctor, plenty of people don't. Some have been waiting 10 years to get one. Also don't hope on finding a specialist for anything nearby, you might have to drive up to 400km even living in Toronto to get one. Whole bunch of stuff I'm forgetting as well.
Seriously? Ever heard of coercive control, it's a fine example of recycling. You get people to do it by creating shame by not having people do it. The other end of it would be say parking fines.
20-40 years? Buddy, friend, pal. We do that at a rate of replacement in 10 years right now, we specifically breed pines for this exact purpose because they can grow fast and all that and go out of our way to avoid hardwood or broadleaf softwoods because they're more helpful in other ways and fetch more money for other items(furniture, cookware, etc). The only cases where this doesn't happen is where the trees are diseased, or have insect problems like ash. In which case, the only solution is clearcutting, creating a cordon, imposing fines for transporting wood across the boundary. With regards to landfills, oxygen and nitrogen have the most important play in this for breaking down newspaper. Keep in mind, that newspaper a century old might not even be wood based, it could be anything from not wood pulp to a mixture of any of the following: wood pulp, cotton, corn, hemp, and a couple of other things too. All of which change "how" it breaks down over time, and the cost factor of pure pulp vs mixed.
Empire to one side of the world to the other where the sun never sets. Manages to piss it all away in a generation and a half, and oppresses their own subjects(not citizens of course), harder then under the monarchy. Sure makes you wonder why people haven't uniformly snapped yet.
Shocked I say dear chap! Maybe about time to look at what's going on around you dear brits, on the upside you're doing a seriously bang-up job on showing everyone else the future. Now toddle on and get some fish and chips in newspaper like a good lad. And ignore that there's a systemic problem with both the policing at the local and federal level that you need to clean up.
And so, who knew that a gigantic surveillance state wouldn't turn around and abuse these powers at all. Now all they've got to do is get people to inform on each other, and the rise of the STASI will be complete again. And in 40 years, we'll be seeing the archives of the GCHQ with large swaths destroyed, along with the secret prison information missing because of it. The surveillance is there, the method to inform and spy deeply is there(social media), the only thing really missing is the rewards for reporting on your neighbors and of course. Knowing of course that the government is already creating a list of subversive acts in case you step out of line.
Time and time again you have been shown that your "evidence" for a particular opinion is incorrect. Whilst your points should be evaluated on their own merits it does get hard to take anything you say seriously.
Which is why your comment is devoid of anything of substance, complaint, or argument against what I've said. You're probably the worst AC I've seen today, but we all have to drive to do better.
I wish you success in moving from waste fulfillment to dogma enforcement.

For me, years of working in heavy industry, welding, and politics have instilled a healthy belief in safety glasses.
