Yeah this whole Trump thing is good for the Canadian tech sector is something that sounds plausible, but I don't think it changes much. Canada already has a lot of immigration of tech workers. Although to be fair I had never heard of t

This is great news for Canada, but I'm curious what the pay would be like relative to the usual lowballing for Canadian tech workers across all levels.

I have to admit I'm curious as to whether Musk can accomplish something here. Costs and time to build new subway lines are ridiculous in North America.

They still have cigarette vending machines. In Canada I don't think I've seen one since the early eighties.

Yeah sometimes I wonder if Canada anticipated the massive brain drain the TN visa has ended up being. It would be ironic if Trump shut it down.

Yeah with the points system as it is, a big percentage of immigrants are tech workers so Canadian salaries were already lowered. Sadly it seems that the only way to become wealthy now in Canada is through real estate.

I think in 2017 participation rate is a way better number to follow in Western countries.

In the US, I suppose a state without a sales tax like New Hampshire also effectively loses out on tax revenue to Apple.

An argument for higher sales taxes versus corporate taxes?

My Macbook fell off my desk and I ended up with a sizeable dent near the lit up Apple. At least I can recognize it now.

Yeah but where do those highest marginal rates kick in? Especially with the Canadian dollar this week being around 74 cents.

Maybe, although taxes are a lot higher in Canada for anything beyond an average salary.

Isn't that just what PUA types describe as alpha? More and more female attention going towards a smaller pool of males?

"Nearly half of U.S. children now have at least one parent with a criminal record." That's somewhat dystopian.
