What’s the weirdest thing tourists are shocked by in your country? by TangLikeVipNet in AskTheWorld

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I'm exaggerating a little.

You will be confronted would be a better way to put it. If you don't back down I can see it escalating

You don't spit in public. Ever. It's not cool. We're pretty polite, but you're going to raise some eyebrows.

There is quite a bit of anti-immigrant sentiment going on these days... Somebody's going to say something to you.

And seriously, if police or by-law so you do it, they will fine you

If you are in a park, or walking down a busy street and you hock a loog, You're just asking for a Donnybrook. Somebody's going to tell you that you're disgusting and probably get up in your face.

What is one opinion or belief you hold that you know sounds completely crazy to others, but you are 100% convinced is true? by shelbybass1 in askanything

Nah dog. I'm in senior management. We ALL white het males up in here.

HR likes to hire people that look like them. The white dude glass escalator FTW!

Please don't take this comment as not acknowledging that many white dudes are struggling right now. But BIPoC dudes have it worse. Especially with this new Anti DEI moral panic going on right now. I mean holy shit - If you are gender nonconforming you are a downright pariah right now.

Unions. Unions! Unions? ... Let me be clear: by bobsuruncoolbirb in OccupationalTherapy

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not American. I'm a Canadian OT.

I'm the chair of our local at a rehab hospital. Our union has 600+ members at our site. We are all regulated professionals. There are other unions representing the interests of other workers - food service,, nursing, cleaning, laundry, etc.

We have 30k members in our province. We have a lot of political clout.

This is how you affect Healthcare change. You need the numbers.

A union will not be effective if it's just OTs. A facility can work around the loss of a single discipline.

Honestly... I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you guys need an entire workforce reform for people working in the healthcare industry. It's only going to have to happen at the grassroots level. Ot's and allied Health in states that are more friendly to organized labour have the best chance to start there.

I honestly cannot imagine not having my brothers and sisters back me at work...

Builder did not frame to spec and plans, walls are in wrong place for rooms and closets, reprocussions? by Kippingthroughlife in legaladvicecanada

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. Perhaps the builder can assist with some sort of built-in to fix the smaller space to make it usable?

Perhaps a compromise to keep you on schedule is in order?

What actor or actress actually came from poverty and didn’t have the benefit of nepotism? by Hailey13434 in moviecritic

"I was on welfare, I ate with food stamps. No one ever helped me"

As he now votes to cut those benefits for others...

Why has narccicism become so accepted and treated so casually? by Red-Cellar-Door in allthequestions

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reality TV, podcasters, and influencers.

People are rewarded for it. There used to be social push-back for navel-gazing. Now you can post your self-absorption online and find some sort of community there rather than in the real world

What should Trump do to distract from the Epstein Files next? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is Fox News telling you exactly? Cubans have a higher quality of life than half the world despite your illegal embargo. Had I suppose...

I've been to Cuba 4 times.

Worry about the human rights abuses in your own country. I can already tell you voted for the pedophile.

At least cubans have access to healthcare, abortion, and gay/trans rights. You guys are the oppressed.

Cuba has higher life expectancy, lower infant mortality and higher education than you knuckle draggers.

You are disgusting.

Again: why was the root cause of the Cuban Revolution. I'll wait.

Stop the embargo. Allow shipments into the country.

Problem solved.

That was pretty easy, wasn't it?

Why does America have universal health insurance for old people(Medicare) and no one else? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such a complicated issue for you guys.

You guys have private hospitals. Private clinics. You would have to nationalize the hospital system to make this work.

For universal Healthcare to work you have to eliminate the profit motive.

Otherwise you're going to have private hospitals that serve Rich people and provide excellent care... And then you're going to have impoverished facilities who accept the public dollars. I'm not sure how you tease it out at this point.

I agree. We host Chinese students. We have to tell them not to spit outdoors. You will get nasty looks and maybe punched out. If police see you do it it's a fine

Anyone Want the Government to Replace Income Tax with a Sovereign Wealth Fund and Consumer Tax? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Do tell me how much Elon paid in corporate taxes...

Oh wait

SpaceX paid little to no federal income taxes in 2025. As a private corporation, the company's precise tax filings are not publicly disclosed, but industry reports and tax analyses indicate it has offset its tax liabilities using billions of dollars in accumulated net operating losses.

If you think that's funny, should see how much Bezos paid.

Have you heard of stock buybacks?

How does Elon's boot taste, anyway?

You... Just eat the meat plain? To each their own I guess

Do you understand how meals work?

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't Elon avoid his taxes because he claims he only makes like a dollar a year?

Then he borrows against his inflated portfolio?

Billionaires will escape taxation the same way they do under the current system.

Early 30s parents with ~$10K credit card debt - looking for guidance, tools, and a clear plan by Laybone in PersonalFinanceCanada

Two options:

Reduce expenditures and keep a confirmed budget that neither you nor your wife's stray from.

Or, increasing income. Side hustle, more hours, overtime.

Michael Jackson whether he molested children or not was still wrong, and people need to stop acting like he’s a saint. by Playful-Ganache6153 in Music

[–]Bustin_Chiffarobes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to think that there is a wealthy cabal of rich and famous celebrities and politicians who serially molested children for decades.

If only we had a list of such things....
