@rayansadri Structural issue not a company specific issue. Companies pay only as much as they need to, not what they can.

A well known YC company in Canada keeps bragging about innovation and calling itself the Figma of something, offers $60K CAD for a sales role. This is why grads are done with these so called forward thinking tech companies. You cannot squeeze young talent, overwork people, pay like it is 2015, and still expect everyone to clap because you call it startup culture and file SR&ED.

@joinyellowbrick @finphysnerd How is this possible. Insane deal

@finphysnerd 3.1x EV/EBITDA ($250M)

Between the $MDV buyout and the $BMNU arb ending I have a ton of capital to put to work in the near future. Let me hear your best idea right now.

@taobanker Why were you long to begin with ?

it's actually the worst year to be long cement because they're not even the picks and shovels of the picks and shovels of AI somehow like idk

jfc I knew I should have sold my cement stocks when I had the chance I've been fucking trapped in my piece of shit legacy book all year and i hate this

@DemorestKe48215 @fordnation Hey Kelly shut the fuck up

@fordnation Affordable housing and healthcare which are badly underfunded and neglected in this province would probably help with this issue. But hey, just throwing everyone in jail is easier than actually working to solve these problems, isn't it?

Ontario transit riders have had enough of dangerous, illegal and open drug use on our subways, buses and streetcars. We’re bringing in tough new rules to crack down on people using drugs on public transit so we can keep our communities safe.

@jmhamiltonblog @business Why do you care so much? If you hate albertans just let them leave and Canada should be better off no ?

@business LOL 😂

Alberta, the major oil-producing province of Canada, is one step closer to a referendum on secession after leaders of a separatist group said they’ve reached the number of signatures needed to hold a vote. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@nejatian Blame the Trudeau government and Canadian business environment. Completely hostile to capital and commerce

This makes me so sad. Corporate bureaucrats have ruined so many companies while becoming so personally rich.

@shawarmula You shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

gas prices in Ottawa when Carney took excise tax off: $1.65/L gas prices in Ottawa today: $1.87/L price caps work. multibillion dollar handouts to petroleum giants do not.

@LincolnsBible Word salad, what are you even trying to say? So many baseless and unfounded premises in a single post i don’t even know where to start

I’m seeing so many assessments like this on the AI “fool’s gold rush,” including from economists. But since hedge fund and PE managers have completely divorced foundational economic principles from valuations/ stock prices, I just don’t know if reality matters anymore. It seems the super rich (& their money people) have successfully horded all resources, and they can continue to reward themselves without measure or account.

@jbsteinberg Why do streetcars even exist. Retarded for having public transport that can’t pull over and stalls two lanes of traffic every time a passenger wants off.

The RapidTO lanes exemplify the zero-sum mindset that has infected urban policymakers in North America. This example is especially egregious because there's so much obvious low-hanging fruit that would get everyone---cars, buses, streetcars & bikes---moving faster and more safely. Here are some easy, quick, and cheap steps that would reduce congestion for everyone: 1. Eliminate ~30% of streetcar & bus stops. No less than 500m between stops. Why the hell do we need stops at Bathurst & Harbord AND Bathurst & Ulster? It's crazy. 2. Eliminate left turns from all arterials (not just select ones) between 7am-7pm. College, Bathurst, Dundas, Queen---all of them. 3. Dedicated right-turn signals for cars (pedestrians can't cross) at all intersections on arterial streets. 4. Longer left turn signals. It's ridiculous that only 3-4 cars get through on major intersections. There are often 10+ cars waiting to turn left from Spadina onto Queen. 5. Eliminate push-to-illuminate-crosswalk buttons on arterial streets. Relegate them to minor streets only. Pedestrians can cross at traffic lights on major streets. 6. Streetcars don't open doors on green lights. They let traffic move and wait until lights turn red to let passengers on & off. Longer term, I'd make more arterial streets one-way like Adelaide and Richmond. Ideally, only University, Spadina, Jarvis, and Lakeshore should have two-way traffic. This is more expensive, of course. But it would do wonders.

@alex__pitti Mr. Market does not care one bit it seems !!

insanely good results $dcth

@TMTLongShort Trump will lose midterms and this theory will have been a nice thought exercises

Everyone will be forced to pick a side. Some will drag their feet. Some will be crushed first. Some will be regime changed by the CIA. Some will be bribed via regime-change-as-a-service. Some will do so due to a shortage of energy or dollar liquidity. But everyone will pick a side. Everyone. No exceptions. If it means we never interact with an Indian or French or Swiss person ever again because they value strategic neutrality then so be it. Thats the same as just picking China outright. Complete decoupling.

$INTC position sold the week before earnings. Another generational wealth opportunity fumbled.

@itsmarkmoran You gesticulate like an alien imitating a politician. Stop overemphasizing every movement you look like a retard

We already have one lost generation, and if we let this go further, we’ll have two.

@anotherglassbox Even though this is sarcasm, this fucking muppet is mayor because of people like this.

I have my beefs with Olivia Chow but it’s a glorious April day and every water fountain/park bathroom I’ve tried has been working. Vote secured.

@david_parker What mortgage size does this income qualify you for ? And then remind me what the average home costs in Canada ?

It's wild to me that many people who make more than $200,000 a year think they are not in the upper class in Canada. That puts you in the top 2-5% of Canadian income earners. If that isn't the upper class, then there is no upper class in Canada.

@gearside Good luck dude, your country is almost as cooked as Canada. Much easier to leave

australia has grown fat and comfortable over the last 30 years – we have stopped valuing the hard stuff. so i'm putting energy behind something called build australia. join us. it's designed to drive the cultural shift we need, get australia building again. to move the overton window and force real change. launching today, it’s a visible platform for ideas and software projects - essays, data visualisation and dashboards that paint an optimistic future. if you believe in building things in this country, whether that's houses, companies, products, films, anything... join us… website in comments

@builtjustice @FlapjackFly It’s incredible to witness this response. Complete capitulation that people are unable to make decisions for themselves.

@FlapjackFly If it works for you, good for you I guess? If others have concerns about the predatory nature of profiteering on the basics humans need to survive, I guess its our right to say so and act accordingly?

Think of the data they’ve collected over the years. Peak demand times for baby formula, food staples. And elected officials in Canada are defending this. Unconscionable

Sell everything immediately.

@HalcyonHypnotic Hot take civil engineering isn’t hard but the dumbest engineers pick it as their major. Put a normal person in the job and this is what happens.

Hot take but SpaceX is probably the best civil engineering company in the world. Somehow they are able to make these insanely complex ground system and building designs and find the perfect contractors and technicians to build out their ideas in months or 1-2 years. I feel like we need the SpaceX methodology and their contractors across many projects. If we did we could probably have gotten so much done and in a much higher quality. They say you can’t have fast, cheap, and good, but somehow SpaceX always manages to deliver on all 3.

@OneManLBO You coming close on anything yet?

Last year, when I told my wife that I was seriously looking at a residential pest control business to acquire and spray bugs after leaving a multi billion AUM fund She almost punched me in the face. The violence in her deathly stare was palpable It was an invigorating moment of clarity in our relationship “BUT LOOK, HONEY, IT’S BETTER THAN SAAS!”
