Wouldn't such a law (assuming it could pass in the first place) run afoul of the First Ammendment? Maybe you could ban payment for lobbying, but I would have thought that "lobbying" and "political advocacy" were ess

First, understand that there isn't really a Canadian federal health care system. The Canadian government (federal) transfers funds to the provinces, which operate health plans for provincial residents. The provincial health plans contr

I'm not sure that I understand your point. I'm not arguing that increasing minimum wage is the only cause of inflation. I was saying that like inflation, increasing minimum wage affects everyone in the economy eventually. Don&#x27

I think you are mistaken. Raising the minimum wage is exactly like inflation. Raising the minimum wage temporarily gives an advantage to those with the least power to set a price for their labor. This will increase demand for goods and serv

Maybe a little more clarification? When you say that nobody on the team can understand it, are you primarily talking about code complexity, code style, or language? Many years ago, I became the designated maintainer for a legacy inventory s

I have worked with at least one transgender individual who I must assume wished to be accepted as a woman, given how that person dressed, spoke, and the name that that person used. I was happy to use the pronouns she/her as a courtesy,

I agree, and I would not want to see regulation or laws that prevent labour access to other opportunities. But asking people to work overtime for specific reasons/period doesn't prevent them from looking for other opportunities. T

As a side note, I'm curious about what down votes mean in this context. Are people registering their feelings about the free market? Are they suggesting that the content of my comment is in some way inappropriate or offensive? Or that

Hmmm. Lots to unpack here, but I'll focus on your comments about globalization. I suppose you could implement regulations to prohibit importation of goods/services from jurisdictions that don't have acceptable standards in pl

I sincerely don't want to oversimplify your argument, but it seems like the logical end-point would be a global socialist/communist society. Is that your desired/intended outcome?

Both your proposals seem likely to result in increased automation, thereby reducing overall employment. To be clear, I'm not saying it's a good thing that some people feel they have to work a 12+ hour day, but isn't it better

Just to be clear, in this case "free market rules" include: 1. Most customers choose to buy from the seller with the lowest price. 2. Employees are free to leave their employment if they find the conditions intolerable. Which of t

I'd be interested to hear how homelessness can be meaningfully addressed in a humane way by the federal government (especially if it is constitutional).

I don't get this part: "The worry is that this might not be the case for long. Though the housing market has finally recently started to cool, experts tend to agree it’ll tick back upward before long—especially given the reticence

What an interesting question. Kudos to you for your self-awareness and being willing to tackle this. There's a lot of good advice in the comments (and a couple of clunkers). I found it interesting that you phrased your interest as &quo

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you only talk to "A*" teams, aren't you running the risk of confirmation bias? Maybe there are groups/companies out there doing the things you recommend, but not succeeding. Did y

Fair criticism, but I think the author of the article does address your point: "A Francophone biker in Lennoxville, a Cree lawyer in Manitoba, a Punjabi-speaking business owner on the Lower Mainland, and an anglophone trader on Bay Str

I looked at the résumé linked from your profile, too. I agree with ac29, plus the following suggestions: * Remove all the logos/links. They're not helping the first impression, and they'll almost certainly confuse the systems

Yes, and no. The value we place on our own labour is subjective, and the value that a buyer places on our labour is also subjective. You may value your labor at $100/hour, and if no one agrees to pay that price that doesn't mean y
