It's night and day. The U.S. economy is very diverse and sports a large proportion of medium-sized companies of all kinds. There's a huge gap in Canada where many of our medium-sized get snapped up by American investors who eith

European companies in this case... Stellantis is Fiat (Chrysler), and VW is German, obviously. The American companies' battery plants are spoken for in the U.S. :P

They're not changing the rules of the game on Jane Public's family here. They're sur-taxing banks' already exorbitant profits. Oh no, the bankers bonuses will be 20% instead of 30%!

Have you not ever had a shitty job that you could not afford to quit because there was no other work at comparable salary available to you? They talk about how they specifically targeted new graduates. The economy in Kenya is not exactly S

That's what I'm saying--put a higher cost on running empty planes. If they have to give away 100 tickets (or pay passengers to fly!) and staff the plane, they might start wondering whether it's worth it. Also that kind of g
