Carney is a clown. Still better than Polieve, but a clown nonetheless. I hate that we're essentially powerless to stop this unless you're willing to throw your life away doing something drastic but necessary.

Everyday we inch closer and closer to political chaos and civil unrest.

As someone stuck in the US right now, I really do implore you or someone to do the drastic. It's over otherwise.

I practice with my guns multiple times a week, but am not there yet. But want to be prepared nonetheless.

Why do you think they want to backdoor all encryption? Can't organize if they know who's talking about what.

I say anyone with more than $10m in worth cannot vote or run for office.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. And maybe it also shouldn't be someone's first job out of school.

Young people's decisions will affect them longer than old people.

I'd rather an age cap than an age minimum.

[-] LostWon@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Although my own comment was more about slowing the roll of people who go into politics as a career choice from the get-go (red flag imo), there are arguments for having both minimum and maximum ages. 25-ish to 65-ish sounds reasonable. (I also think there should be baseline and follow-up tests for both empathy and cognitive capacity.

I don’t know about all the age rules for each position (all 18+?) but I think 25 is a good minimum age for an elected rep, higher for PM…30-35? I favor young blood in politics, but below 25… please go play and enjoy your childhood haha.

They don't need to do either of those things. They just buy the legislation they want.

Guess we gotta chop their head off.

Carneys friends and family started complaining.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not sure has friends. It was probably his sponsors.

"Elbows up," alright. To the rich paying their fair share, the environment, public services, pharmacare, (edit: digital privacy,) ...

[-] ArmchairAce1944@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Elbows up, then extend arms, then open palms...

We need more bans instead of taxes on things that are causing the climate catastrophe
