Judging by how many people wear clothes made by children in sweatshops, I'd say the wants of the many seem to outweigh the needs of the few.

I'm not sure what dishwasher spray is, but I used the Buy Beaver app in my grocery store and found Finish dishwasher detergent was about the same price and owned by a uk company not ideal but not American.

so you have some established right to indicate which of us can speak as to what’s best for the Canadian people (you) and the other can’t (me). Because…reasons?

What in what I wrote leads you to this?

I correctly noted this doesn't affect you and that it does affect mamy.

Your position, as far as I can tell is:

If the reason for doing the wrong thing is “the jobs” then you need to rethink your reasoning.

... It’s bad policy to concede to the US right now.

I think that the jobs really do matter to a lot of people and that when the US has significantly more leverage you Canada has very few options.

Again, noting that your position really hurts a lot of people doesn't mean you can't have a position rather, it's that you support a position that really hurts people.

Canada... Depends what kind of visit really. I captain a few rec teams, so breaks or dislocations, we'll go to emergency, get triaged and wait for a bit.

If it's somwthing I'd like to get checked out but not urgent, I'll schedule an appointment with my family dr, might take a week or 2?

For something sooner, I'll go to one of the several walk in clinics nearby. Wait time really varies but generally pretty quick as long as I get there a little early.

Nope, re-read what I wrote. What in there says you can't come up with a valid opinion?

It's more "your opinion doesn't seem to give any weight, relief or aid to those who are affected in any way shape or form."

It's a trade negotiation, it's literally all about the jobs.

I get that you aren't affected but thousands are.

By your logic, we should just not do anything with our largest trading partner and I dunno, just wait for almost half a decade until we like the administration?

The attitude is coming from wishful thinking untempered by knowledge or experience.

Admittedly, a lot of taxes are misspent but a quarter of your income seems a bargain.

For example, I imagine getting to your jon would be really difficult without roads. Or a semi functional legal system that stops people from just robbing your business whenever they feel like it. Or a system that enforces contracts and property rights.

I've had a job where I didn't pay taxes. It didn't end well.

Hadn't thought about it like that but really, if they want to boost profits more hospitals ought to have cigarettes in vending machines, bars in the waiting rooms and taco bell in the cafeterias.

Oh man, I figured that was most of the joke. Is everyone just like "huh, weird phrasing but I'll roll with it?"

I just watched demolition man for the first time the other day, loved that and the future's music.

I saw a post on an asylum offer which is related but this peace broker offer cracked me up, figured I'd share. Sorry if it's too similar to the other one!

Almost half a year after everyone else, Smith is finally using the levers of government to reduce American purchases. Better late than never I guess.

For those out of the loop, Elon just accused trump of not releasing the Epstein files because trump is implicated. Which, obviously but Elon is a voice to which magaworld listens.
