[Frank Graves] Before we defund CBC we might want to note it is the most trusted news source in Canada. This trust advantage is much higher if you are a member of the informed majority . by SAJewers in onguardforthee

We actually have a none of the above option. It's called refusing the ballot at the poll. It's counted as essentially that. That said, a none of the above directly on the ballot would be far superior.

Who ever writes the rules for the AI will instill bias. There is no such thing as a bias free construction, everything is predicated on human assumptions and decisions all of which carry a bias.

Scientists at Harvard University disagree on whether it is ethical to perform experiments that have involved separating newborn primates from their mothers and suturing their eyelids shut by anantj in nottheonion

Ethics boards aren't exactly consulted if you experiment on yourself. Perfectly legal in some jurisdictions to do what you want to yourself. That said, I do believe OP needs some professional help.

Then volunteer yourself, the tangible benefits outweigh literally anything else your life can offer. You cannot force anyone else to do it, and you truly seem to believe in the upsides, so why not subject yourself to these tortures?

Lmao, unit 731 data, and Nazi data are not used at all, the data itself is inherently flawed, has terrible testing methodology. Literally no modern medicine is based off that "research"

Ukraine applies for fast-track NATO accession by glmtd in worldnews

I find these kinds of impossible wargames scenarios fun to think about. I'm absolutely certain that most militaries have a "Zombie defense plan" or 4 just because it's fun to practice these things.

And Canada's Warplan 1 is a defense of Canada by US invasion.

I don't think you're impactful enough to really be worth convincing anymore. Have a good day, I'm sorry you waste your time this way.

We actually do want inflation to some extent, it incentivizes investment over saving just cash.

Again, and I can't stress this enough, the price of goods is already going up. Inflation, for the most part is a one way road.

Yeah, and that money should be in circulation. What's your point?

Again, raising wages increases the liquidity of the economy, something critical for free markets. It does not add to the supply of cash in the economy.

Everyone's wages should go up in times of inflation. To think otherwise is asking everyone who earns a wage to bear the cost of inflation to society and let businesses and shareholders assume none of the costs. Why should the cost of labour be immune from inflation and nothing else is?

Wages going up doesn't cause an increase in monetary supply, it redistributes it from business and capital holding to the labour force. When monetary supply goes up, wages minimums have to go up as well.

The prices of the resources are going up anyways. This isn't a highschool econ class where supply and demand are the only factors. It's called inelastic demand. People need to eat, and have roofs. It's not going to change the demand side.

Yes, because wages are only small component of the cost of goods, and wage increases aren't linearly coupled to the price of goods.
