They have real strong “the goverment should do something about that” energy while being the government.

Ain’t that the way :(
I’m not sure I can express it properly but I’m rootin’ for ya.
Also there’s a ceetain point where the movie thing hits harder. Rent is really expensive and people are needing to get more roommates or live with their parents to afford the super high prices but a movie is once a month is cheap and shouldn’t have a big enough impact to hurt to bad, yet it does. It’s absolutely absurd that we live in a world where people need to count their pennies.
Also, good luck, I hope “homeless” doesn’t mean “on the street”. Keep safe my guy.
It’s not about who’s buying the end product, it’s about who is supporting the people and politicians who use that flawed reasoning to get support.
“The carbon tax will mean that your food price will double” is a massive lie, and should be a major factor is disqualifying whoever says it as being someone to take seriously. Unfortunately, people hear that gas will have an added $0.114/L and believe that that will mean immediate financial ruin for everyone across the country. Politicians that support controlling the rampant greed of companies aren’t getting support while the thieves are and that’s fucked up.
But also remember that the cost of energy is nowhere near 100% of the cost of making pretty much anything.
If you doubled the cost of something because the price of a fraction of it doubled you’re absolutely a thief. That’s what these companies are doing; bad math to steal from stupid people*.
*Anyone can be a stupid person, including those with advanced engineering degrees. Hell, it’s almost more likely for them.
The real question is what is Larian’s equivalent to Peter Jackson’s “Meet the Feebles”?
And yet, if Trump replaces the chair with a yes-man and no one stops him then he does control the fed and therefore the money. And it doesn’t look like anyone is stopping him from doing this kind of shit any time soon.
Fucking hell, it isn’t that complicated.
You don’t need to live the US to know about it, and actually it makes it a lot easier because you aren’t dealing with their shitty education system or the propaganda. Besides, I’m Canadian, and have to deal with that pile of garbage all the damn time.
Get outta here acting like I can’t judge the US because I’m not in it. Get right outta here.
I have this shirt in white and I love it. I know I sound like a bot response but genuinely I love this shirt haha

Oddly enough, when it comes to less dense suburbs with richer people in them, the cost to the city is always more than those people pay in taxes. They pay more but they’re actually using poorer people’s taxes to pay for their shitty “neighbourhoods”, in quotes because the word implies a level of community they could only dream of.
Literally these things have already been done with success. Your ignorance is not the definition of reality.
We know for a fact that housing people, keeping rent under control, and even offering free public transport all lead to a stronger economy and far better financial security for the 99%(which is even good for the 1% because it means people can actually buy their shit). This isn’t wishful thinking, it’s been tried in better places and the US is a perfect case study on why the centrist and right-wing ideas don’t work and have never worked.
You’re not a cynic, you’re poorly informed about the subject.
Yea, their really shitty or barely mediocre mayors? This is very different from times before and I think it’s ok to be excited. If it does end up going wrong you need to know that being a massive pessimist just for the sake of the world’s most depressing “win” is not a healthy way to live. Plus, nothing is really pointing to this being a bad thing except your own evident misunderstanding of the situation.
I wish him all the best, and more than anything I hope that the federal government doesn’t sabotage him and I hope that even if they do people will be able to understand that instead of going “wow he failed! No I’m not going to think about it harder than that.”
Cities are often where these things start. To underestimate a mayor’s impact, especially in a city like New York, is not the play. It also sounds like you aren’t even that familiar with his platform since it took me only one simple google to find a couple examples of a costed plan.
The US is plenty happy electing people with zero plan whatsoever, and what they do have is easily disproven nonsense that has never, ever worked. Major cities and economies in the world have done, with success, what Mamdani is proposing.
For the love of god, just be happy that the United Shithole of America is finally taking a step in the right direction. It’s going to be ok, and it pretty much can’t be worse since even trying and failing would be better than purposefully destroying everything for a quick buck.
You can just skip the “but”. Other policy makers either horribly fail with their much shittier policies all the time and when they do succeed that’s still a problem because those are bad policies.
And don’t worry, a lot of that stuff has already been successful in better places so it shoukd go fine.
“So many democrat presidents have acted in the same way”
One, doubt. Two, you take that entire excuse and shove it waaaay up your ass.
I have zero desire to be a kid again. What I want is finacial stability and trust in people in leadership positions to not be huge pieces of shit who make houseflies look like members of MENSA.
The desire to be a kid, I think, is far more rooted in wishing for blissful ignorance.
I know, but why?
It’s a shame that only a minority of Ontarians even fucking voted for the second time in a row. Maybe don’t let Conservatives walk into power and then complain about all the damage they do.
