I’d had always blamed Bill Gates for windows monopoly, though now I’m pretty sure it was the US government all along pushing it for a backdoor.

teppa@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Quebec’s new anti-trans policy will not make prison safer for womenEnglish21·3 days agoThen may as well just remove segregated prisons, because it makes zero sense to trust prisoners to not game an easily gamed system. You’re insanely naive if you think that they won’t.

teppa@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•‘Disability’ glaringly absent from federal cabinet portfoliosEnglish1·3 days agoThey don’t want housing prices to fall, which affects every poor person regardless of disability or not. We simply fell for it again as Trudeau said the same thing, the Liberals will lie every time to get elected.

Michael Geist will keep making articles until Canadians learn.
teppa@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Quebec’s new anti-trans policy will not make prison safer for womenEnglish12·3 days agoWell it’s six right now, you think inmates are good stewards of the honor system?
Was I somehow banned for saying this? That’s a pretty wild bar for being labeled a transphobe. I’ve got nothing against trans people, I have something against abusers of the system.

Mark Carney’s first 100 days have been a rapid-fire class warEnglish12·4 days ago“When we said make housing affordable what we meant was make a tiny handful of affordable rentals thats well below population growth. Meanwhile we are paying half of developer taxes in order to keep property taxes low for the ownership class.”
teppa@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Protesters march through downtown Toronto to call out corporate landlordsEnglish1·4 days agoThey’ve definitely rebranded affordable housing as crappy government rentals and not actually affordable housing. But they got the youth vote already, what do they care.
teppa@piefed.cato Linux@programming.dev•Fwupd 2.0.12 Released With More Intel Battlemage GPUs & HP USB-C Hub SupportedEnglish1·4 days agoIntel’s drivers are always very Linux friendly I’ve found.
teppa@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Ontarians have just lost core democratic protections — and few realize itEnglish46·4 days agoThe ring of fire is mining, which is required for EV, which is the “green” industry of the future they are always talking about. We build lithium batteries for EV and renewable usage; which displaces oil usage, which removes smog, and hopefully should be more efficient in the long term.
Indigenous have their hands out for free cash as they always do, and that kills this industry like it does everything else in Canada. Hence why we are second to last in per capita GDP growth in the entire OECD. How poor do we need to be before some cynicism kicks in and we stop cosplaying, this is peoples livelihoods we’re wrecking.
teppa@piefed.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney’s border bill is a gift to Trump—and a roadmap to ‘mass deportation’English1·4 days agoThe economic troubles are immigration. What happens is you have QE and 0% interest rates, to deal with Covid, then you have a labor shortage and “quiet quitting”; as per the phillips curve in economics where inflation and employment are inversely coorelated. Then you have mass immigration to fill the temporary QE induced labor shortage. Then you have the BoC raising interest rates, even more so than expected given Trumps tariffs. Then you have a reversion to the mean for employment, and a lot more workers that can no longer be absorbed.
So its all excess immigration. We arent meant to drastically distort the market like this to fill temporary lulls or highs in the economy, to hide falling GDP growth and then losing the election. I’m not a mustached villain, I simply have a single mom sister who can barely get by as an education assistant and think what we did is despicable.

I’d like actual statistics presented in a sane way. Obviously if white people are predominant then it is more likely they would be one of the people making 100k or more, just as they will be more likely to be depressed with their job or suffer a fatal car accident from exhaustion.
China is stockpiling coal. Because it has an advantage of storability and is non-volatile. They also keep opening coal plants.
If we assume China will be producing our goods for the next 30 years then its safe to say coal will be in demand. If we do ban their imports because we decided to actually do something about climate change, besides importing people from low carbon areas and pushing urban sprawl via regressive zoning laws, then our entire economy will collapse due to rising interest rates.
