@Indian_Bronson @DiamondEyesFox @L0m3z I think this is where the data centre revolt comes from. A feared return to pre-1960s workplace divisions. But, I think the migration to healthcare services and geriatric care being a growth industry will blunt this. Seniors/services workforce will be a voting bloc

@DiamondEyesFox @L0m3z Here’s an example: what are the kinds of jobs do you think women mostly have? They’re useful, they earn incomes, but what are they mostly - particularly of the kind that become useful and were novelly created from about 1920 to 2020? How automatable do you think they will be?

@GordonHerriman @garquake Thanks for engaging materially. That growth came from a technological revolution and the specifics of mineral rights in USA.I don’t think we can compare industries from an investment and capital markets standpoint. Moreover, the majority of ours is owned by American interests.

@GordonHerriman @garquake Isn’t this just a mature industry that adapted after the 2014 oil crash? Cleaned up their balance sheets. Not to mention a government built pipeline getting them to seawater.

@browsingatwork @garquake Jobs and investment are down, production, profits and dividends are up. Great for shareholders. Oil companies have figured out how to make incremental increases in production by leveraging existing infrastructure while employing less Canadians, that’s the Trudeau legacy.

@MPelletierCIO Carney's rhetoric is working. 2 basis points above US Treasuries is wild. Effectively, with this support, he'll be in power for a long while

@David_Moscrop I mean she played her card well. Separatists we're nipping at her, she gave some ground. Now she can campaign for reelection in 2027 on the grounds of "i'll be the one to give you a chance at statehood"

I think the Canadian federation will be unable to survive if we decide that federal-provincial politics will be conducted by governments walking around sticking shotguns in their mouths.

@BrianDijkema At a systems level, I agree with this logic. But we're talking about Eastern Canada. This isn't Tampa and Sunrise Florida. I think we're at peak hockey fan concentration in the NCR

@browsingatwork The thing with markets is that the more people in the overall market the better everyone is. Habs celebrations are NHL celebrations and scarcity mindsets are how teams, companies, and nations fail to thrive.

@codyroyle The playoff share is very small. Lotta guys making 70k a year so 2 more months at 1500-3k a month can hurt. Lotta life instability for players. If you’re a gamer in AHL playoffs you got that dog in you cuz there’s certainly some conflict of interest going on

Great insight into the realities of 'pro' hockey.
Connor Carrick@connorcarrick

@pwilliamsAHL Easiest part of AHL playoffs is playing the games. For most of your players they’re paying to play in them, or crashing on couches because their landlord needs notice of their moving out and it’s too hard to gauge/give a few days. Its a tricky deal for teams/coaches to manage

Not for long. Dubai may survive the collapse of the UAE. But it is unlikely to have the functional specialization it has had for decades. New management means a new kind of company.

@stephenfgordon While getting 20-cents on the dollar back from retired millionaires is not nothing, we could save 80-cents on the dollar by sending them nothing. Does a retired millionaire really need welfare? When the program was founded, it had an asset test that clearly said NO.

But the fiscal implications are significant: elevated deficits, rising interest costs and reduced fiscal room. The government should be transparent about how they plan to manage the trade-offs Kevin adds that there are entrenched views in the deficit debate—but both perspectives can hold at once. The underlying challenge is one of balance: supporting growth and security in the near term while maintaining long-term fiscal sustainability. 💬 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 — 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 — 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁.

Seeing both The Deep and Homelander die felt so satisfying. Deep finally getting blasted into the ocean and torn apart by his own sea creatures? Perfect, pathetic end for that gross, useless punching bag. No glory, just payback. And Homelander losing his powers then getting brutally finished off by Butcher after all that god complex bullshit, watching him beg like a nobody was pure catharsis. The show nailed their send-offs. No mercy, just consequences.

Stancil nailed the affordability scam back in like 2023: All it is is a manifestation of the fact that people think there's a "correct" nominal price for everything and they're currently raging that that's not actually how the world works.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias

The whole rhetoric of “affordability” seems like an op to me, if you have more economic growth + a reasonable safety net then people can afford more stuff there’s no special “affordability” layer of policy that transmogrifies degrowth ideas into good ideas.

@drydenwtbrown I think for the ROW this makes sense. Americans have the religious fervor abour agency. Why didn't you work harder? Prepare financially for automation? Take advantage of a layoff and reskill etc. It'll be winning rhetoric from the right

All the new fairweather "conservatives" who got active on social media in the last 2 years suddenly HATE PRIVATIZATION? (In relation to Carney with ports/airports) I've never felt more politically homeless in this country. First the "right" abandoned the conservative tenet of personal responsibility and blamed the LPC for their shitty lives. Now they reject privatization? The conservative movement is so cooked in this country. Huge identity crisis. More than half of these people don't even know what they're fighting for. Just as many whine on the internet and don't vote. This is the problem with populism, I guess.

@Sean_Speer @CharlesLammam @TheHubCanada In light of the conversation today, it seems we're moving towards either a wealth/asset tax or removal of income taxes for the bottom 50%. Within that binary, it'll be interesting to see which idea makes its way up north

I responded to @BradWilcoxIFS's gratuitous tweet, he doubled down that Alex Cooper is a "bad actor" for not telling her listeners to get married young, but then quietly deleted his OG post x.com/rcobooth/statu…

@BradWilcoxIFS what "consequences" do you think she should have for dating in her twenties before getting married and having kids? unhappiness? singleness? losing her podcast? your reaction to her life is getting truly unhinged
