I still think it's a correlation with Covid. They wouldn't get vaccinated, so they're facing the damages.

Ozzy is coming back to us.

Stock buy backs should be taxed as income.

This is why you should be thinking of words that rhyme with the names of people nearby while having conversations.

They're available online through multiple sources too. Some are probably a bit sketchy though.

I mean fair enough, but a flock camera isn't really going to help with that. At best it will list off every care in the parking lot at the time, and might be able to check repeat offenders. Caging inventory would be a better bet, but most likely there are staff helping with the theft.

Taxes to pay for it. Not a deal breaker to me, or obviously most people that voted for it. But a certain vocal minority with the deepest of pockets had a real problem with it.

Most of the time I have to ask them to actually make it spicy since most places barely wave the hot sauce over the food. It's not like I have a huge tolerance for spice, but when I ask for hot I'd like to actually get it.

I'm surprised they think an American company can afford the bad PR in Canada right now.

I know what the hospitals are doing, and I also know insurance companies are using the same bullshit in reverse to make it harder for hospitals, and patients, make claims. The reality is that private health insurance shouldn't be a thing, and procedures should have standards that are overseen by qualified doctors without financial stakes. But neither is true, so we end up with the most expensive and mediocre health care system on the planet.

It doesn't have to be more rare than Earth metals, supply just has to be more limited than demand. Given the rising use cases, and the global population, it's only a question of time until economic viability. Especially in cases, like now, where supply is constrained by political tensions. It becomes a national security issue to not have a sovereign supply. Lunar mining is cheaper than a resource war.

The Moon is a staging area and supply of resources. Lunar launch costs are almost negligible to Earth, so large scale mining of rare earths, deuterium, and other metals is viable. And the low gravity means building/launching giant ships capable of reaching the outer solar system is possible.

The research and knowledge gained from a lunar base would almost certainly far exceed the cost of building it as well. Science and practices in medical and botanical fields that would be directly applicable here on Earth, but are not possible or would not be studied without the existence of a lunar base.

If you're looking at future opportunity, figure out how to make a cheap and effective heat shield out of lunar regolith in a vacuum. The major cost of returning materials to Earth is the return vehicle. Having to send parts from Earth very quickly makes everything unprofitable.
