Or better, help people transition away from American products. 50% tongue-in-cheek (it’s hard to help people make that change for a variety of reasons, but hey!)

From a slightly deeper page in the index tree

Retirees themselves are stepping up to support this plan (as in, rich retirees take less so that money can be redistributed to poorer retirees and younger people in need). They are personally prepared to take a bit less from OAS. If you’d like to join them, let us know.

So there we have another solution (or at least a part-solution) to our budgetary problems, thanks to some of the retirees (and that number might grow?).

Tbf, this is a hard convo to have, but politicians should be making these convos at the possible risk of getting disliked.

Instead of just proposing solutions without consultation, just ask! Be reasonable of course, but ask! “You’re getting this much money every month, and we’d like to know if you’d be fine if we give you a bit less, because X, Y, and Z.”

Not everyone’s gonna respond positively, and there people who refuse to be reasoned with, but that’s politics!

But ik, a two-party race forces them to basically try to win on every turn, and we have only FPTP to blame.

Ah FPTP 🫠

We’re in a trade war.

But let’s reduce income taxes so that the government gets less money to run long-underfunded public services, maintain long-ignored public infrastructure, and fight the war. Oh, did we forget about the promise of some amount of financial support to people affected by the trade war.

Yeah, that makes sense.

A broken clock is right twice of the day, but we don’t call it a working clock. And it’s worse when the clock actually works somewhat and changes its speed to match more times of the day.

I think you’re either quoting the wrong article, or misread the article. The article talks about the new ownership of The Observer, which is a sister publication to The Guardian.

It’s odd that this “The Standard” publication is the only one that seems to talk about the selling of the Observer and how it was handled, with some even smaller publications. That said, The Standard is majority owned by a Russian oligarch, sometimes sensationalize titles and events, and don’t always have their facts right.

Just to add to your comment, case in point, The Guardian sometimes covers Canadian news, and has recently published a bit more about current Canadian political events. They operate mainly in the UK but have a US office. They are independent and don’t have a corporate backer, and have been working relentlessly covering the events in the US since the new admin took power.

Digressing a bit, I’d urge people to use tools like GroundNews to find out the political leanings and maybe even the corporate owners of news outlets that you come across, and use that to your own judgement.

“Let’s give the CEO big bonuses instead of investing it back into our failing business that desperately needs that money.”

Says, apparently, no one at Intel.

Edit: I just realized my punchline was off but I’ll leave it as is anyways. You get the point.

弾幕 (read: danmaku) is literally translated as “bullet curtain” to refer to a barrage of bullets that are so close together they form some kind of veil, or curtain. But yeah, it’s what we know as “bullet hell” in English.

I’ve seen Vampire Survivors referred to as “reverse bullet hell” at some point, but didn’t look like that stick.
