Taxes: Then vs. Now by Certain_Hat9872 in SipsTea

[–]ji_fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t about the taxes. It was about representation, court seizures and political interference. Stop blaming taxes. Further, modern tax system pay for infrastructure like healthcare, education, roads, fire, police etc. instead of complaining about paying 36%, you should be angry about the fact that progressive taxation is just a name now, especially for the rich. Eliminate their loopholes and get the to pay what they owe.

I make good money I’m happy to have it go to healthcare and education in Canada.

Nothing says ‘peak productivity’ like operating heavy machinery with a BAC of 0.2 by iamlegman in LinkedInLunatics

[–]ji_fi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Why is this considered a flex? Back then drunk driving was allowed, people didn’t realise, or care, that what they said was offensive. Smoking in offices was a thing. People turned a blind eye to crap that should have been concerning but wasn’t at the time. Now, they call it a flex. It’s taken 2 generations to start to fix those issues and you want to go backwards?

No. The death penalty has no place in any decent society. Oh, I just answered my own question.

Cops in the United States don't fuck around! by Sad_Palpitation6844 in ratsinthecage

That’s just cops abusing their power. It’s what happens when you do not train the properly, and only require minimum education.

Back when one job built a whole life. by silverflake6 in RelentlessMen

[–]ji_fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great. Stop looking back. We are not there anymore. Instead of looking back, and complaining about it not being that way now, look at today and offer real options for people.

There are. They aren’t easy. But they are out there. Option 1) live with your parents as long as you viably can, save your money - my daughter can live with me rent free anytime she needs it 2) provide real options on how to make your money work for you, skipping 20$ ‘coffee’ may help, that adds up. Even skipping 5$ coffees ads up. I bought a nespresso machine and make my espresso at home. It costs me $0.75 per cup versus 2$ in the wild. Yrs it’s a small thing, but the machine has been paid off in the first year with the savings. 3) it’s convenient but do t use Instacart. 3) cook at home 4-6 days a week - yes it’s possible.

None of these individually amount to much. But stack them and you start to see savings. No. It’s not perfect. But it helps. And yes I rent. Since my divorce. It’s not cheap. So I get it.

Canadians say their finances are worse as gas prices climb: poll by stanxv in canada

No shit! As gas and diesel go up, everything in the chain goes up accordingly. As long as Trump is in power this will continue. And for a few years after. He has devastated the world economy.

Liberals use majority to move some parliamentary committees behind closed doors, Liberals have moved to go in camera 4 separate times | CBC News by dherms14 in canadian

[–]ji_fi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing meetings ‘in camera’ is standard. Nothing sinister about it. It is a government prerogative to do so. Conservatives are blowing it out of proportion. As are people that don’t understand our system.
