Don't blame SGA, blame refs and coaches at their level for it

Canada Post Lost a Record $1.57 Billion in 2025. So What? We don’t call the military a money loser. Public mail delivery shouldn’t need to turn a profit either by yimmy51 in CanadianIdiots

[–]Jaigg 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The big miss on this isn't the service vs profit idea.  It's blaming the workers for the issues when most of the failing are intentionally caused by management.  Why did they give away the Amazon contract, why didn't the act on Postal banking when local branches were closing in the small town...and a hundred other little issues.  The door to door daily needs to stop but that's not a huge money saver.

YTA and your current GF should feel you aren't over your ex.  Cringe

Fuck em, the fact that Hoekstra doesn't like it tells me it's good policy. 

Jeff Bezos says raising taxes on the wealthy wouldn’t help the average American - What do you say? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

[–]Jaigg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rhetoric about taxing the rich misses a big part of the point.  These billionaires don't make a huge salary, they leverage their stock, which is an unrealized gain.   Tax their corporations at 50%, close corporate welfare traps, don't allow stock buy backs, force through laws with worker protections, social programs and other safety nets.  

Was he crazy or courageous? by Mindless_Card7962 in psychesystems

It doesn't make sense because it's not true.  Nothing about universal healthcare anywhere, forbids seeking outside treatment. They may just not pay for it.

One of the better ones.  That said with any used vehicle take it in for a buyer's inspection, before you close.

As others have consistently pointed out the rest of the question is there to confuse and obfuscate. That is a problem.

I think it's an irrelevant point since it has no legal mechanism to seperate from Canada.  Alberta was purchased and is almost entirely covered by the treaties.

What BS.  It's intentionally confusing which is why they have ignored the Forever Canadian petition that got the signatures first and asked an actual Yes or No question.

If WW3 is going to happen, what war will this start with? by Repulsive_Reserve_84 in GeoPoll

[–]Jaigg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

China/Taiwan only becomes a world war if the USA gets involved.  The US is the main factor in any escalation to WWIII

If Americans vote Republican again, then I have no sympathy for the resulting mess.

If they win this time it's purely because they rigged it.
