Canada fucking hates the US right now and are actively in discussions to deepen their relationship with China, and cut back on their relationship with the US. I don't blame them.

How or why people tie a religion centered around the brown jewish dude in Palestine who advocated for the poor, the sick, the needy, the disabled, and immigrants....with a fat pedophile who wears orange makeup is just strange to me.

A guy I grew up with that works at Palantir. Here's his thinking: 1. He's white and lives in a blue state. Doesn't affect him. Oh, and money. 2. The attention on Palantir and their customers makes his stock and options go u

No, in China, the people running the platforms know what is acceptable and what's not. So, once the government tells them what's cool and what's not, the companies then police themselves. Because unlike the US, where there a

Anything that promotes short-form video should be looked at. Youtube promoting shorts is bad. A youtube long-form video about, say, car repair, or quantum physics, or a history of eastern asian languages doesn't contribute to brain rot

Too bad, they have too much money to bribe lawmakers with. Zuck is worth a quarter trillion dollars, and he ain't in a rush to give up so much as a penny of that if it doesn't fufill his goals of enriching himself further.

Honestly it should be even older than that. Should be 21. Let's not let easily influenced teenagers on what are effectively mass advertising platforms designed to make the likes of Mark Zuckerberg even more money.

Can't fight ICE because they have no laws they need to uphold, and they have an unlimited budget to buy tools to fight you with. And the whiplash is quite small, if not nonexistent. Why? Because there's no depths to which this r

His actual policies aren't that radical to be honest. Yeah the subsidized grocery store idea is one thing, but making busses free or telling hedge fund centibillionaires that it might be a good thing for American capitalism long term

No, not at all. Socialism is a reaction to extreme capitalism, and basically a call for socialism today is just saying "capitalism is cool and all, but there needs to be some guardrails so capitalism doesn't eat itself". Peo

This is why he's a Republican. He said it in his book (who knows if he actually wrote it) that if he ever ran, he'd run as a Republican because they don't think, they just fall in line.

The difference is that you're close to a body of fresh water, and while it's cold as fuck for a good part of the year, there's enough sunlight and arable land around you for either farming or indoor farming to (partially) sup

Fair enough. My product is very much non-tech (CPG - beverage). But you're right that VCs are still throwing money around like its the ZIRP days. If you have an idea, go for it.

Sounds like you like pretty close to or in an urban/metro area. Food deserts still exist all over the US. And likely in Canada, too - you're less likely to have the same options in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal as opposed to say

It is indeed true. The truth is that lobbyists have a ton of cards to play, including that if such a ban were to go through, there would be a lot less demand for High Fructose Corn Syrup, which might sound wonderful, except that HFCS is a b
