Interesting. There is at least one assumption I question: why is economic growth considered to be a good thing? It's a quibble I have with economics as a whole, though, not his demographic analysis specifically. Given most analysts use growth as a positive measure, it's an enlightening analysis.

What does it matter? It doesn't look like Americans live in a real democracy anyway.

"vouchers could be made available to help Canadians pay for costs such as long-term care or home care services"

This was how the conservative provincial government tried to sneak in privatization of long term care and home and community care in my province. (Source: I was one of the consultants brought in to assess the viability of the plan, and my contract was abruptly cancelled after I explicitly pointed out this was what they were doing)

Fortunately, COVID derailed the program, and a new government came in before it could be restarted. But, as a result, I am extra cautious and thorough anytime analysts mention voucher programs.

We should be making sure older people know Poilievre will try to take away their CPP and OAS. And privatize as much of their health care as he can.

This might sound naive, but what ads? I don't get ads on my phone, I have functioning adblockers on my browsers, and I use alternate front ends for the occasions I have to access normie social media.

I don't watch TV or listen tp the radio, I read books and research papers primarily, and my actual social media use is on the federated options using apps that don't have ads. I have my phone pretty tightly locked down, so even the apps I use don't have ads.

Aside from the occasional product placements in something, I don't get much exposure to advertising. And before anyone goes there, I work from home and don't even see billboards. I don't even get flyers.

Would I have to change a lot of that to run these tests?

Another great example of why engineers should not be in charge of people, nor people's wellbeing.

Quantum superconductivity. People in Winnipeg start to leap around randomly in time.

I'm confused. Isn't "collecting keystroke data" just an alarmist way to describe text entry?

Dear Alberta, could you please deal with your racists and get your ridiculous theocracy out of office? We have to get ready for a real war.

Of course, PP wants to defund any media his backers can't control.

In other words, it's really just an improvement in awareness that has led to an increase in identifying who can be helped more effectively than before.

How about also, "Wow, seems like you need to work on your resource planning skills," when a manager tries to demand unpaid overtime?
