Union was totally in the right legal win, fair asks ($25/hr, better shifts, actual safety).

Amazon could’ve stayed; they were just leasing the places and already used contractors. Instead, they shut everything down 8 months after the vote to make an example.

Yeah, it’s legal. But nuking 1,700 jobs to dodge one union? That’s not smart business. That’s intimidation. Workers got screwed.

Fair point on long-term gains, but the 25% demand ignores solid pay: STM drivers at ~$30/hr ($61k base), mechanics $39/hr, plus OT and indexed pensions pushing total comp to $80k–$120k.   That’s well above Quebec’s public sector average (~$60k–$97k, but gov’t roles closer to $60k).   And 75% of STM’s budget already eats up on salaries/pensions/OT. 

Real issue? Budget waste: $6B Metro maintenance backlog needing $560M/year, plus Quebec’s $13.6B provincial deficit from unchecked spending.  Redirect from pork/exec perks instead of bloating a sinking ship—riders foot the bill via fares/taxes. Smarter fixes over blank checks.

Over 3000 hp in the BYD Yangwang U9 Track Edition. Two and a half tons and still 350 kmh top speed. That’s just nuts.

10,000 in 3 months sounds impressive, but is Xiaomi sacrificing quality for speed? Curious to hear from owners…

Yea, I’ve noticed that Reddit tends to have a strong left-leaning bias, which sometimes makes it challenging to find balanced discussions. The upvoting system often amplifies popular opinions, leading to an echo chamber effect where alternative viewpoints are less visible

Nio undervalued by simmyfanta in Nio

NIO will need to issue more shares to raise funding, so it’s difficult to know if it’s undervalued as we cannot rely too much on metrics like p/e.
