Really, it depends where you live; Canada has all the same types of people as the US. The difference is that so far, we have stuck with neo-liberals in power instead of neo-conservatives.

Outside the cities is more conservative, but only in some ways. We like our social services for the most part, even if healthcare is a shadow of what it was 50 years ago — but again, healthcare is now administered at a provincial level, so different provinces will have emphasis on different levels of care.

On the education side, expect the college of teachers to be without a contract 2 years out of every 10 — which results in strikes. Also, a lot of “extra” programs like the arts are massively underfunded at the elementary level. Teachers often go above and beyond to provide equipment and programs out of their own pockets because the government no longer provides the funding.

All that said, I feel a lot safer living north of 49, and feel like even if there still are things like systemic racism, at least it gets called out and doesn’t usually lead to violence.

Oh yeah, and school shootings are VERY rare.

Yeah; free export of soft wood lumber.

Some re-assembly required.

I hope there’s Epstein banners everywhere.

Well, you can’t blame the current government on his selection; it’s not like they’ve got a bunch of people who aren’t white nationalists to pick from who are also loyal to Trump….

That’s why you’d only almost think it.

You’d almost think the military has forgotten to notify when they enter civilian ATC airspace….

That makes 3 near collisions with military aircraft in 5 days, all in ATC airspace.

Am I the only one who thought from the headline that MC and Visa were censoring fake legal documents and not adult entertainment?

In most situations, getting that designation provides extra funding and legal protection. However, all of that is managed by the federal executive on behalf of Congress… and these days that could result in added risk.

On the plus side, I believe it means that every work submitted to the LoC also goes to IA, which is indeed a good thing. Sure beats the lawsuits they had to endure following COVID.

That’s the second time in less than a week! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/delta-airlines-skywest-collision-north-dakota-b2792725.html

What on earth is going on with USAF ATC this week?

The thing that annoys me about these reports is we never get a follow-up. Last incomplete reporting is from Thursday, and that’s likely the last we’ll get.

For Macs, I’d visit 68kmla.org, which has a buy/sell/trade forum. There are other forums specific to other platforms as well,

He likely thinks the Golden Rule is “do unto others.” Although he could be getting it confused with golden showers.

Heh; I remember when Candy Crush was just one guy and an Apple Developer account.

He was survived by his wife, who was with him when he died?

Donald Trump is 79.

Drain the swamp!

Yeah; allies still care because of the US military industrial complex. Compromising the US still compromises a large chunk of the world, making things even worse for everyone than the current US administration can do on its own.

You make it sound like this system was designed with your interests in mind.

The problem is, the system is broken without direct participation, and most people expect it to just work for them with no more effort than paying most taxes and obeying most laws (and possibly voting).

As he said, “please get involved in your local community if you aren’t already.”

He didn’t say “fix the problem.”
