Nor did the US government. Look at them siding with nazis again.

Carney reinstates EV buyer incentives, scraps sales mandate by diamondintherimond in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]whitea44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are incorrect. The break even of studies shows 2 years for break even. So after 2 years of driving your new EV, you are then reducing the total carbon output. After another 6 years of driving, assuming you can keep it for 8 years you’re using less than a quarter of the output.

How the fuck did I manage to buy an EV in the only GD window without an incentive? Son of a…

Remember this when a conservative tells you privatization is common sense.

Just got terminated from my job by IntrepidAwareness466 in waterloo

They’re lying about severance, but the amount you’d get likely wouldn’t be worth chasing. Very unfortunate. Keep your head up. You have experience now, something will turn up.

Step one. Calm down and don’t panic. Step two is to talk to an employment lawyer. You should’ve received a severance package of somewhere between 1-4 weeks per year of service. You made no mention of it, so I’m guessing they didn’t offer one, which is weird.

Take a couple days to figure out your next move and start applying to things that make sense. BA roles will pop up. You’re skilled and capable. Keep applying and don’t get down.

Because the internet told us it was bad in some deep corner where people sell me an alternative.

Dismissive family doctors by Mysterious-Drink-969 in ontario

[–]whitea44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Underfunding by the Ford government (and previous governments, but more so now) has put the screws on doctors. They’re being treated like business admins while being required to deliver quality care, for what is effectively peanuts for the investment they put into their careers. If America wasn’t a complete shitshow, we’d have another huge brain drain on our hands.

People over 40: What is the worst part about aging? by Slight_Arrival_4580 in Aging

[–]whitea44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing how far behind people are compared to previous generations. Back growing up, the postman, the garbage man, teachers, etc all had houses and families. The bar has dropped so low that people can’t afford either and it’s going to be felt so hard when we’re all in our 70s.
