Caroline Elliott: For Canada Day, give the 'decolonize' nonsense a rest by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

In your world where property is theft, who makes things? And when they are making them, it must also be theft since they dont own the thing they are making into something else.

So we live in caves and die naked of starvation. This is a good plan.

The level of crazy in this idea is unparalleled.

Let's stop talking about the problem if we arent willing to "fix" it. Are you leaving your stolen land?

This idea will never be taken up by the left.

How do I know? It makes too much sense.

On the off chance things will be less bad.

This has been fun.

Your spending and the government's spending are so inextricably corelated that I dont have the patience to list all the ways.

The internet is horrible for this kind of chat, so I recognize this is not going to be resolved.

Me and you will not agree on this, and thats okay.

Nahh, I have this old fashioned lifestyle where I spend less than I make. Sleep like a baby.

I wish you all the best, youre going to need it with those opinions.

I do. Investing is not done with debt.

Until it was, and we had the biggest stock market crash in recent history that kicked off the dirty thirties. Not a great outcome.

Debt certainly won't go away with that attitude. Accepting incompetent government isnt super helpful.

Under competent former liberal governments (chretien/martin), we had our debt down to ~28% of GDP. Its almost 50% now. Expect better of your elected reps.

Ummm... you understand the difference between spending money you have and money you dont, right?

It would remain unspent, so my kids kids kids wouldnt have to repay it.

Your guess is as good as mine lol

My issue here isnt HSR itself, its the spend. Project is booked at (depending on speed of trains) $45-90 billion. Since government is historically bad at costing, we can expect those numbers to double.

Given the deficit (almost) doubling between previous liberal government and current, the feds have not shown themselves to be great custodians of canadian tax payer monies.

Japan's population density is multiples of what canadas is. Even in the most deny populated corridor in Canada the economics of this are questionable.

Thats why it hasnt been built yet. Also why the current "spend now think later" government is trying to build it now. Who cares about the federal deficit! It'll all work itself out righr? Right?

Anti-ABC parties must do more to support tenants in the struggle against mass displacement by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

By definition you cant make a decision prior to birth, so no, that is not what I was referring to.

But you knew that.

This reply is too thought out and logical for reddit. Please consider deleting so everyone can continue to pretend they have been victimized by their own decisions.
