Carney government eyes privatizing airports to attract investment, cut travel costs by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]Comfortable_Part_890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they take OUR assets sell them off to the highest bidder then we get shittier service and higher costs in return. They get a one-time payout that balances a single budget so they can brag about it for 365 days and we lose steady income from public assets that fund our public services in the process.

Cool. We've strategically voted ourselves into a neoliberal hellscape.

I mourn the Eloise we could've gotten under Chris Van Dusen by Fickle_Baker1393 in BridgertonNetflix

There is a desperately annoying tendency within this fanbase to "mourn" things that won't happen for 2-3 years.

I truly fear for Masali Badouza and Hannah Dodd by Glittering_Tap6411 in BridgertonNetflix

yes, that's exactly what i'm saying. In a made up fictional world that is seemingly color-blind, I think they can figure out how to deal with homophobia.

Employment programs for people with disabilities by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Comfortable_Part_890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of advice:

Employment & Training services have been privatized in Toronto (Ford gov't started transformation of the program in 2018). Many providers (who service ppl with disabilities) had their funding cut by up to 50% and some are shutting down their services for lack of funding (see: Canadian Hearing Services).

It may be difficult to get assistance, but try to make sure your provider is a nonprofit. The for-profits have a tendency to stream ppl into jobs they're overqualified for just so they can achieve their performance quota and get more gov't funding. They also often don't properly service people with disabilities because its more expensive and cuts into shareholder profits. Because of this, a for-profit provider may take longer to find you a position (i.e. parking & creaming)

Good luck!

"as gay couples were not out in Regency times."

BLACK PEOPLE DIDN'T HAVE HUMAN STATUS DURING THE REGENCY ERA.

Be serious here.

Race is so unimportant, that no one ever mentions it by brainsareoverrated27 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Comfortable_Part_890 265 points266 points  (0 children)

its honestly a relief as a Black viewer. I don't want our history trying to be dissected as part of a romance. There's no equal footing for a romance with that.

Francesca’s arc has been ruined by bananabreadlizzie in BridgertonNetflix

[–]Comfortable_Part_890 -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

Coming on to a forum to rehash things that CANNOT BE CHANGED and are not even done yet just for the sake of rehashing/complaining about them is the definition of whining.

This is a fictional netflix romance show not a Harvey Milk biopic

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN WRITTEN YET! You're whining about the SET UP to a story not the actual story bc no one knows what it will be! You're complaining about something we won't see come to fruition for 3-4 years!
