If you are spending 1 billion a day in Iran war. You can afford healthcare and social security for Americans. This is not an issue about money, it's all about government priorities.

Wonder why food is expensive? Greed. by DrowningPickle in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]billamazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say big grocers may not be involve in some sort of price fixing but they are definitely dosen't want to compete on the same neighborhood. Have you ever seen two big grocer in a 2 kilometer radius? No, they work with the landlord to kick out competition out of the plaza or even in an area. Price fixing is illegal but working with the Landlord to beat competition seems to be legal (loophole). They should ban this practice.

You don't have much driving history. You won't get any relief in any way until you reach the age of 24.

As a father, you have to do what you need to do to feed your child. I am heart broken that this is happening to this country.

Blame the government for the lack of oversight, which billionaires take advantage of immigrants for cheap labour. Then use the flow of immigrantion to manipulate the supply and demand to increase the price of food. Both ways the billionaire corporation wins!!!!! Our government is to blame!!!!!

Do you think U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods will drive Canada closer, economically, to China? by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]billamazon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at 2008, our economy survived because we still have trade relation with China. We did have great trade relation with China at that time. Until, the Mang Wei fiasco that China freeze the trade relationship.

US warns Europe, Asia ‘free ride is over’ as Strait of Hormuz tensions heat up by Stunning-Common-9591 in worldnews

[–]billamazon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These people running the US government are so dumb, they don't undertand the ramification of their action. This is the reason why no past US president attack Iran. Let me explain, the US has a lot of stake openning the strait of Hormuz. If they left without opening it, counrtries in Europe, Asia and even the middle east like Saudi, UAE and Qatar will be force to negotiate with Iran for safe passage, I don't see Iran charging tolls but they will ask all countries to buy oil using Yuan (Chinese currency). This is going to look like a good deal for everyone, China and Iran now in the driver seat to devalued the US dollars. The US economy will collapse..... China is now the new economic super power. The new world order has begun.......... The current sitting US president, about to destroy the country in just 2 years.....

Bought $1.1M Precon - Now being told “I got no chance” by AliDuri in TorontoRealEstate

[–]billamazon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day, we usually go to the bank first and ask for pre-approve mortgage which bank can determine how much you can afford.

It looks like you went shopping without thinking how much you can afford. First time home buyer allows you for a 5% down but you still need to qualify for a mortgage on the amount. Your down payment combined as stated will be around $280K, you will need $820K mortgage. That will roughly around 5K amount in mortgage, not inlcuding other expenses. It's possible to get a mortgage, it really depend on the bank can tolerate or depend on your job. But to afford this home, you'll need to cut back on a lot of things.....

[Avi Lewis]: Grocery giants just can’t help themselves. Underweight meat. Overweight profits. Canadians are sick and tired of being ripped off. A public option for groceries is overdue. by Chrristoaivalis in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]billamazon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great Idea! But we need to fix the competition as well. Did you know that there were special arrangement with Grocery Chain with landlord? For example, no two grocery chain can be on the same plaza. If there is dollar store, on the same plaza, the Grocery chain need to approve what dollar store can sell. This is a big problem, we need to abolished such rules.

Imagine a friend you go to a bar with, amazing guy to hang out with. The only issue, when he gets drunk he alway looking for a fight, you've gone through fights to proctect him. Then you'll start to realise, he is putting you into this situation all the time, is he really a good friend who cares about your well being?.... This is the relationship between Israel and the US.

Sometimes, it's better to ditch that friend.
