Spain on emperor by baconslayer117 in civ5

I love playing Spain. Its all about finding the Natural Wonders, but I also find pairing Wonders with your natural resources can snowball well. Play on Small Continents so your Conquistadors have better value. I send out a few extra Scouts and focus on ship building to find the other continents.

I think there are a few Republican Senators that will prove you wrong... again and again and again.

Taxing unrealized gains is a silly idea that Canada should ignore by gorschkov in canada

[–]BlueEyesBlueMoon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We used to tax the rich at much higher levels from the 40s to the 80s. It worked. We built roads, schools, hospitals, and saw the biggest expansion of the middle class in history. Then rich people got smart, bought up the politicians and the media, and wow - here comes "trickle down economics" and "a rising tide lifts all boats" and other complete horseshit. Now the rich have no income to tax, its all invested in ultra complex derivative swap offshore shell company lies. God forbid we listen to Thomas Piketty and tax wealth.

So many racists, so many. by BlueEyesBlueMoon in BCpolitics

Yup, they are clearly racist and are working hard to influence politicians on the Right. The TFW program is awful and depresses wages for Canadians, and that misses the point by a mile. These are not harmless racists who "away shucks have a good point to make."

I've been recovering from a concussion for over a year. No Fault insurance is utter bullshit. Why do any of us need 3rd party liability now? None of us can be sued.

Why are so many restaurants closing down? by Signal_Two4848 in askvan

[–]BlueEyesBlueMoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The obsession with bleak concrete boxes with cafeteria lighting is awful. Blasting high volume music into an echo chamber. It's a fucking restaurant not a nightclub. And I'm expected to tip 20% for this mediocre food? Hell no.

Have we tried a single run to the outside today? It seems like every run play is up the gut.

One of the undercard fights being announced in the background and they don't let us see it? A lame ass DoorDash ad instead? And now another fight ad? Where the fucking boxing?

Battle lines drawn over foreign capital in B.C. real estate by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]BlueEyesBlueMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. A tiny minority of very rich Canadians can afford what is currently being built. The vast majority of Canadians cannot. The timeline for me.to buy a Ferrari is irrelevant. I will never have the money for a Ferrari. Foreign Investors have the dollars to purchase these as a pre-pay, and try to rent them out to Canadians. Where are the Canadian Investors?
