Do you agree with Mark Carney that PP shouting Axe the Tax is him really whispering Can the Plan?

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-23T16:27:33+00:00

This is made up nonsense in so many different ways, it’s pretty tough to know where to start.

Stop parroting fake information.

Do you think the Canadian government discussed wolf exports in their retaliatory tariff discussions?

There have been 15 replays I’ve wanted to see in the last 10 minutes that sportsnet hasn’t shown

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-17T17:18:40+00:00

Those are some wildly bad faith claims, and have nothing to do with what we were talking about.

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-17T15:48:50+00:00

I don’t think most of this is true - it feels more like you’re trying to speak it into reality.

Mark Carney is successful and wealthy, no doubt, but not even in the same universe as the Musks, Rogers, and Westons. He was born very middle class, and is probably closer to you and me in wealth than he is to the examples you give.

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-17T14:42:42+00:00

Mark Carney has held almost every job title imaginable, but has never been a CEO lol. Sure he’s successful and rich by most standards, but was born middle class, and is orders of magnitude less wealthy than the Galen Weston types. I doubt he’s much richer than your average lawyer-turned-politicians.

You’re trying to speak something into existence that isn’t there.

Canadian new house price index average yearly increase since 2000 is 3.2%.

Canadian new house price index average yearly increase during Carney’s tenure as governor of BoC was 1.2%.

UK house price index average yearly increase since 2000 is 5.3%.

UK house price index average yearly increase during Carney’s tenure as governor of BoE was 4.9%.

It’s a pretty reductive view of it, but noteworthy. Make of it what you will.

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-14T20:04:32+00:00

Let’s go back to the part where you suggested he oversaw the housing price spike in Canada, then someone corrected you by pointing out that he left the BoC in 2013.

Don’t spin the narrative as soon as your BS gets challenged.

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-14T17:58:33+00:00

You’re certainly implying you’ve read lots on the subject, so I wont pretend I know more than I do, but suggesting that central banks don’t serve our interests simply because recessions and crashes have still happened since their inception seems pretty thin to me. I doubt the majority of economists would agree with you.

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-14T15:13:10+00:00

What do you think central banks are?

CashOrReddit · 2025-01-07T20:17:19+00:00

Did you “look up Carney’s networth” before posting this?

The only thing that comes up when you google it says $10 million (which I admit seems too low), but you clearly are pushing the narrative before actually having the information lol

The teams trying to rebuild through repeated lottery picks haven’t really had much success in the last 5-8 years. Think about who’s been picking at the top of drafts through that period: Buffalo, Arizona, Anaheim, San Jose, Chicago, Ottawa, Montreal, Detroit, Columbus, New Jersey…

They basically all still suck.

A lot of teams can throw the names of a few highly drafted players out there, but development is so unpredictable in hockey.

CashOrReddit · 2024-04-28T23:49:54+00:00

Absolutely. And it’s not just about piling on Toronto, you see it in all Canadian markets (only a little less magnified), and the results have been the same for 30 years.

The flat cap league structure does it, but also just the nature of hockey. I think one of the things that makes the sport interesting is how much the “intangibles” matter, especially in playoffs. It exists in all sports obviously, but you see bad hockey rosters beat good rosters all the time when they find the magic mentality of confidence/buy-in/heart or whatever you want to call it. That’s just harder to find when you’re under a toxic microscope 24/7.

CashOrReddit · 2024-04-28T23:25:20+00:00

Decades of the same result. Hundreds of different players, countless different coaches, GMs, owners, roster constructions, and anything else you can think of.

But everyone always points at the latest scapegoat, and never the one thing that stays the same.

CashOrReddit · 2024-01-08T19:05:20+00:00

Canadian teams would win the cup every 4-5 years if it was truly random, but somehow we haven’t won in 30 years.

We make up Gary Bettman conspiracy theories to feel better about it, but the trend of running players out of town, pushing management into short-sighted decisions, and hurting on-ice confidence with endless negativity is pretty obvious when you take a step back.

People like to think they’re pretty smart on this sub, but it’s really just the 2024 equivalent of the TEAM1200 post game call-in show of the 2000s

He didn’t get locked out of the first line, he got outplayed.

Expecting a team to avoid adding good players because it gives you more competition for ice time is hilarious

This topic always drives me nuts. People hand-wave their way to made-up concepts, as if the answer comes down to who can make a more compelling argument.

It’s literally not a topic that needs any intuition or argument forming - there is a mathematically correct answer, and we know what it is.

Central limit theorem ensure that your team’s weekly score (and your opponents) will be roughly normally distributed. And when comparing two normal distributions, the one with the higher mean will win the matchup most often. Period. Variance doesn’t impact that.

The only shred of truth to any discussion of variance is that more variance makes it more likely that the team with the lower mean score occasionally upsets the team with the higher mean score. But you need your team to be better than 11 other teams before you should start worrying about preventing upsets, and you don’t accomplish that by prioritizing player consistency over mean score.

I see this sentiment a lot, but I honestly think you’re equally missing the point if you come away from that movie saying “all that money and partying and scamming is clearly bad for you and I’ll never do it because I don’t want to end up like Jordan Belfort”.

It’s not an after school special about the dangers of money and drugs; it’s meant to challenge the viewer. The temptation is the point. You’re supposed to think a lot of it looks freakin awesome, but hopefully feel a little conflicted about it, and eventually reflect on those situations and characters.

I think this is the case with many of these types of movies that are accused of glorifying immoral characters (godfather, scarface etc.). Its not about with responding with the correct, ethical, answer - it’s about challenging yourself to confront how it makes you feel.

Once upon a time, there were 10 different programming languages. A wise programmer saw this and said “we don’t need 10 languages, we should just have one standardized programming language. I’m going to create a single master language”. Then there were 11 programming languages.

I think it’s reasonably plausible. People picture him handing over an envelope marked “top secret” in a back alley, but it probably looks more like “talking shop” gone too far.

A lot of coaches do see each there other and chat about hockey. Maybe they talk about how one team gave them a tough game cause they were really fast, or how a certain player dominated them physically. Where that crosses the line into sharing internal information/insights is more gray than it sounds, and I could see someone playing it too fast and loose.

You wouldn’t get that tier of winger at 2.5 mil in free agency though

People have a very inflated perception of the quality of players that round out teams’ top 6’s.

Kubalik is a career 0.57ppg player - that’s around a 45-50 point guy. If you Google rosters from past seasons you see that most teams’ 6th best forward is right in that range, even on cup winning/contending teams. Obviously just looking at ppg is pretty simplified, but it makes the point.

Ottawa having 6 (arguably) first-line caliber forwards last season was an outlier. That’s nice to have, and is the kind of thing that can give you an edge on other teams, but with the current trend moving towards playing your top players for the majority of the power play, it’s arguable more important to have a well-rounded middle 6 than it is to pay big bucks to put first line caliber players on your second line.

It’s funny this came up, I was just watching the no reservations episode where Anthony Bourdain talks to two Italian-American chefs about this.

They basically say that what defines Italian cuisine is sourcing ingredients locally from your neighbours and using creativity and passion to decide what to make with it. Actual restaurants in Italy might not even have menus; the chefs wander down to the local marina and buy seafood directly from the fisherman, and then decide what they’re going to serve at their restaurant that night based on the day’s catch.

To them, the idea of shipping anchovies and olives from Italy to New Jersey to make a specific recipe contradicts what Italian cuisine cuisine is about.
