I wonder how many of these deaths are due to the fear of living in destitution, because Canada's overall QOL has plummeted in the last decade.

When people start throwing ad hominems, and incredulous suggestions of getting therapy, that's when I know they know they have no argument.

I find it cliched but still interesting that the rebuttals to my opinion on this particular topic are so vitriolic and laden with, as the poster above you has done,ad hominems and emphatic statements of incredulity. It kind of supports the

I often wonder whether there's a correlation between the reduction in a company's profitability and quality with its decision to hire cheaper offshore workers, or insourcing cheaper workers from abroad. I wonder if the smart money

Most of what determines the success of a social introduction made in hopes of gaining a physical partner for men is predicated on their physical attractiveness, mostly through genetically determined factors such as height, facial bone struc

Maybe that's why people are like that, but I think it's more baked into most people than we care to admit. I think part of our human wiring is to have faith. It used to be in deities, now it is in "science!" Humans, most

That's a good point. Perhaps journal article reviewers fail to realize the importance of those words in the grand scheme.

People misinterpret science as being a collection of facts discovered by authority figures rather than a process of questioning the validity of any claims made. It's almost as if the concept of science has turned into the religion of t

Mass importation of cheap labor and rent serfs certainly does have an effect on worsening the cost of housing for citizens. It's simple supply and demand economics. To dismiss criticism of the current human quantitative easing that

Per capita they are at the bottom. To imply, as you have, that genetics doesn't influence sports skill to a great degree is preposterous. I used that country as an example because it is the major source of workers for tech wage suppres

Canada does this. Tim Hortons can't find workers so the government lets them recruit Filipinos as indentured servants.

I agree with your assessment regarding foreign trained nurses. I think it also applies to doctors as well. Regarding the pay structure for nurses, over time the unions will be filled with mostly third-world ones, so I predict their bargaini

Attractiveness is not subjective, as facial features deemed attractive are universally accepted across both time periods and cultures. Tallness for men is always seen as better than shortness.

The polish you speak of is not the relevant factor in determining attractiveness. Height, facial features and non-obesity are the characteristics described, and with the exception of obesity, are largely immutable. In other words, a profess

I suppose we could also frame the question as which tech companies and industries will NOT do well during the recession. I think that streaming services will not do well. People will return to torrenting and piracy. Same with crypto trading

It makes zero sense for a person to consider straight-up nursing as a career in this age. The school is too competitive to get into, the pay isn't worth it, the job at the end is laborious, the culture is vile. If one does go into nurs

Canada's solution will be to mass-import nurses from the third world who will do twice as much work for half as much money. Mark my words. It's already happened with low-wage fast food jobs. Health care is next. Nurses and doctors
