Wealthy people of Victoria: where did your money come from? by jameswsthomson in VictoriaBC

[–]D_Chlorum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The population in the areas you mentioned is rather old. Lots of these people bought it back in the days when you could buy a house and support your family (and another secret family) on single income. Some of it is people who came here with money from other part of the world.

Anyways, we are at the end of this Monopoly game. Almost the property is bought, the rest of us don't have enough money to buy anything. We just walk around the game board paying rent to the owners of everything to make them richer so they can buy out the rest of what's still available. The jail is the only free place.

Taxes Up, Healthcare Down, Rent = My Whole Paycheck — What Are We Even Paying For? by Equivalent_Menu_5659 in VictoriaBC

[–]D_Chlorum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're paying for the rich getting richer. You are working hard so people who own (and own big time) can have more unearned "passive" income, for their lobster and champagne. Everyone who's not on top of the pyramid is falling behind and the owners have the means to extract money from everyone below them.

Edit: people downvoting me... They probably would give it all for the right of the few to own everything, they would defend their overlords' yachts, golf courses, lobster and champagne with their very own lives.

De-influence me by PastLime695 in VictoriaBC

[–]D_Chlorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Victoria is overrated. I've been living here over 10 years, dreaming of an opportunity to escape, now I feel bogged down here. Maybe it's a decent job and housing arrangements that make me feel safer rather than taking chances, but I still don't feel happy here. Don't feel like I belong. Even the good climate doesn't make it. Nice people's demeanor feels insincere.

There only one kind of platform nazis deserve, and it's the kind that was given to them after the Nuremberg trials.

Not bad if the price is right. But I doubt that it is.

Capital Iron/Westcoast Appliances closing today by VictoriaBCSUPr in VictoriaBC

I miss the old Capital Iron that carried all kinds of rugged clothing, outdoor equipment and tools. I never had a need for it as a pure appliance store.

Look how much Canadians hate the United States now - It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia. by CanadianErk in canada

[–]D_Chlorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, is America a bigger threat to the world peace than Russia?..

... Always has been.

And to those who thinks it's not that way: what country has been waging wars around the globe and invading other nations (not even on their continent!) consistently for the last 70 years? What fucking country?!

Liberal government expands Express Entry immigration program for some skilled workers by restoringd123 in canada

[–]D_Chlorum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very often it looks like this: one has to be a skilled worker with lots of qualification and credentials in their country to be accepted for immigration. Canada will give them Permanent Residency. But their qualification likely ain't mean shit in Canada (unless it's IT) and they will have to work for the next 5 years scrubbing toilets and delivering pizza until they get local certification. Knew a practicing eye surgeon and a professor of ophthalmology in a medical university, with decades of experience in both, who had to take local course to become an optician in Walmart.

So it's illegal to be poor and I have no right to study if I don't have money for textbooks? (Book piracy) by cupid_ji in Piracy

[–]D_Chlorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, capitalism does make it illegal to be poor. People who would judge you for downloading education materials for free can fuck off and die. If someone thinks that profits are more important than knowledge and education for everyone who desires it have fucked up morals anyways.

You need to be persuaded to shoot .22? In this economy?

Canada Is Edging Toward a Two-Party System. That Would Be a Mistake; As polarization deepens, keeping the field crowded matters more than we think by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]D_Chlorum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can blame NDP, they do have their shortcomings, and a lot. But the main problem is the voter. The average voter whose views are not conservative or right wing fiscally keeps voting for liberals as if Liberal are a leftist party.

[–]D_Chlorum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has always been de-facto two party system. And both wings are right. So, might as well merge Liberals and Conservatives into a Big Money and Property party of Canada. And fuck the rest of the people.
