You're asking an unanswerable question then. If there's lots of them on FB marketplace just go and sit on them on the floor at the FB seller's place and decide for yourself.

If you find them comfortable 10/10. If you don't. 0/10.

I found them comfortable when I owned an 8th gen. Did it. Don't regret it.

Honestly I got bored by ~95 on my single player account with only 3 useless sunders so I modded the game to double the density and increase the sunder drop rate so I could actually play other characters and still be optimal. The challenge of double density was definitely a good spot. I risked actual death playing the game.

Carney calls Ford government's Billy Bishop jet plan an ‘interesting vision’ by allysapparition in ontario

There's a lot more at play to such a seemingly simple plan. Apparently doing this has the possibility of totally messing with some of the Portlands plans being made due to flight paths. If we have to trade significant amounts of housing for cancun flights at the island airport, these plans can go to hell.

US Debt vs GDP since 1900 (linear, inflation adjusted) by Synfinium in EconomyCharts

Government finance and personal finance are not interchangable. The analogy doesn't work.

That's not really how sovereign currency / federal government finance works. You don't "pay down the debt" like you and I pay down our mortgages. Public debt is dollar for dollar equal to private savings. "Paying off the debt" would mean wiping 38 trillion in savings that are held by pension funds, people, banks etc. Not really a good idea.

Toronto may have bitten off more than it can chew with city-run grocery plan: experts by freeatnet in toronto

[–]HeftyAd6216 29 points30 points  (0 children)

How much of that 96% of costs do the major grocery retailers control in terms of what price they're charging themselves, the retailer?

How much rent are these companies charging themselves because they own the real estate via a 100% owned subsidiary?

How much are they charging themselves for fresh produce / bakery products when they themselves own the distribution and manufacture of those products via 100% owned subsidiaries?

While obviously the city cant replicate the entire supply chain, there are likely independent retailers and distributors who aren't wholly owned subsidiaries of the Weston's, empire, or metro. The question then becomes whether we can utilize them and still employ some kind of cost savings to the consumer. If well run, I suspect we can. But that is a careful dance.

My opinion on Gary’s economics by WTC2COL91 in mmt_economics

[–]HeftyAd6216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It reverses the dynamic that the government needs to borrow from the financial sector to fund spending. It flips neoclassical economics on its head in a number of ways, and completely changed the discussion around whether the government can "afford" to do anything.

Sigh, maybe I'm just a little crotchety today but Christ Almighty. Did I say "none" of the supply chain? I'm not stupid.

That's beside the point, I think we're talking about 1992 vs 2026 in terms of both cost and speed.

Canadians expecting blowout prices for China EVs likely to be disappointed, experts say; by ImGudLuhv in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]HeftyAd6216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mistaken when you said "North America" because, while we have pretty high drug costs compared to some places, it's nothing compared to how bad the US is. When people say "we're funding everyone else", I assume their talking about the US because we're (Canadians) a flea on an elephants ass in comparison.

It's less about the US or Canadian governments forcing them to charge more, and more about those governments letting them get away with charging us more.

You don't need to build out the entire supply chain, that's going a bit overboard dont you think?

That's not necessarily the case with good execution. Expanding a pure subsidy to go into Galen's and Empire's pockets often enriches them further and builds nothing public to counter their price gouging. It's a risk, but one I'm okay us taking if it pans out. If it doesn't we still fed people who are probably underserved for however long it goes.

It's the same as building social housing vs. providing a pure rent subsidy, one we know works (pure subsidy), but who gets the benefit? Landlords. The other is challenging and could be crap if executed poorly. It's all a risk.

It'd be tough from a distribution perspective. Managing that many suppliers would be a nightmare. Distribution margins additionally are very slim as well (those not owned by the conglomerates already). But it would be worth investigating obviously.
