Incredible how much leftist economics discourse is them being unable to understand second order thinking

An old communist woman handed me a leaflet for the leftist candidate for Paris and when I told her I took issue with his stance on rent control she just looked at me like this

Word I learned yesterday — “middle distillates.”

Real talk, how does scalping exist? Why are arenas selling tickets for so little that reselling them at a markup is consistently a feasible way to make money?
Doug Ford@fordnation
We’re putting ticket scalpers on notice: Your days of ripping people off are done.
English
@fordnation Arenas should charge more for tickets if they don't want people to make money reselling tickets.

Chuck Norris actually died 20 years ago, but Death didn't build up the courage to tell him until now.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago.
They sued, got their land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby NIMBYs.

@RealAlbanianPat My city is estimated to have reached 180,000 people in 2024. We weren't supposed to reach that until 2050.

I'm not saying that veterans are malingering, but I am saying that this is exactly the pattern that you would expect to see if they were. veterans.gc.ca/en/news-and-me…
English
Most Canadian veterans have fairly minor disabilities, and the number of veterans receiving compensation for disabilities steadily decreases as the severity of the disability increases, until you reach a massive spike of recipients at 100% disability.

@awawawhoami Same (socially progressive neoliberalism)

oh well, at least my ideology will be the one to raise from the ashes

@JJ_McCullough Liberals and Conservatives are mostly tied here, abolishing the monarchy really isn't as right-coded as you think.

Another day, another poll showing that Conservatives favor abolishing the monarchy in Canada more than Liberals. I wish the Conservative Party would listen to their supporters on this issue:

@RealAlbanianPat Meanwhile we spend about 3x as much on OAS than our own armed forces. This woman quite literally receives more government handouts in a year than most young people get in their entire lives.

Most "Liberal Boomers" in this country are just 17th century Russian Aristocrats who whips their serfs because they complained too much

you guys dont even know about the cult classic dating sim "everlasting summer" from russia in which the lonely channer protagonist gets sorta isekai'd into a soviet summer camp with a cadre of pretty girls one of whom is inexplicably hatsune miku

@LilyArtemisTO Fr, I don't know how politicians aren't scared shitless going around in public. I'm not even talking about cabinet members, I'd be on edge if I were a backbencher.

New monthly report: Median rents in Manhattan have hit $5k/month for first time ever. +6% over past year. Median rents in Brooklyn have also reached an all-time high $4,296, +7.5%. The report cites "the tightest inventory seen in nearly four years" as cause for rapid rise in rents. Translation: We desperately need to build more housing, including affordable housing.

People who support bail need to start being more vocal about it, because if you give anti-bail politicians an inch, they take a mile. matteoraso.substack.com/p/canada-needs…
English
Isn't it crazy that you can implement draconian anti-bail laws, call it "common-sense", and then people will just accept it?
Doug Ford@fordnation
You deserve to know when and why Canada’s broken bail system is letting violent, repeat offenders back onto the streets. That’s why we’re proposing common-sense bail reform, including: - live-streaming bail hearings - mandating written justification when bail is granted - a new, anonymous bail dashboard to identify bias and problems in the system
