Yeah, you might want to look into current Catholic doctrine:

Youngling, she’s a hard Catholic. If you can’t imagine why a lifestyle would offend a hard Catholic, well, that’s on you.

Afd just won a third of the vote.

You would like control of some industry ti maybe just go the far right?

Okay, would you rather the Germans who voted AFD? Or the rise of the French National Party? Or Fidesz in Hungary? Or PPV in Denmark?

Shit, you’d better tell that to my aunt who told me how my lifestyle hurts her.

Half of America wants to vote for trump and you want to trust in random people? That seems like a wild leap of faith.

In theory, democracy produces satisfactory outcomes…

Or, as has happened in capitalism, people will find ways to bend the system to benefit themselves. Except this time without boards so much as bribable officials and whatnot.

But it’s not like companies or business entities won’t have folks in charge of them under communism… Someone has to run the whatevers…

This is what I always find amusing about the Communist argument.

Like, the elected politicians and bureaucracy can’t be trusted enough to regulate industry under capitalism so we’ll centralize things and then trust them to regulate industry under Communism?

Edit: whoof, should’ve thought about human nature when I dared to criticize communism. Almost lime there is another lesson somehwere there.

so, it’s the goddamn weekend. How does everyone have so much free time this late on a Saturday? I’ll do my best to get back to y’all on a dirty capitalist’s time slot.

To paraphrase the Beatles “they get high with a little help from their friends”

This is another of those “things that I would like but are pretty unrealistic.” If the goal is to cut down on beef, the price would either go up drastically or we’d put farmers into something less lucrative and just import our beef.

Regardless, the public, of whom many if not most eat beef, would be furious. I struggle to see a government that could pass this and last an election without having this overturned by the next government rather quickly.

That being said, it’d be nice. But nice in the same way that everyone being vegetarian and not wearing sweatshop clothes would be nice.

Fair enough!

I’m still not sure I get this. Is it just odd for them to be looking at a hangnail?

That’s a pretty bold leap. I’m pretty confident the guy screaming removed**removed on the street has bigger problems than the lack of free transit. (Also, if you’ve ever take a skytrain you’ll notice how payment is rather optional for most folks with issues.)

Tourists bring in a boatload of money. I’m not even sure how you would enact a mechanism like this… A BC toll taker at every port, airport and land crossing? How much are we charging to pay for that, that somehow doesn’t hurt tourism industries but also completely subsidizes our use of public transit?

I love public transit, think it’s important but this seems more one of those “things I would like but don’t seem particularly feasible.”

(Also, if you’ve ever been on the N20 or even BLine and watched a mentally unhinged man threatening women, children, non white people or other vulnerable people, well… Not wildly sure I want to drop the barrier to entry to zero. I can be a scary looking dude and have had to use that at least 3 times in the last year as someone experiencing mental issues went off on a quiet brown guy, a woman and some teens respectively.)
