As stated in another comment Conrad Black was pardoned by trump. So he's interested in making trump ok. IMO lemmy shouldn't link to national post.

Also i imagine what magats would say if a foreign head of state called him governor.

Fuck you conrad black, you are a piece of shit, who's had everything handed to you on a plate, and still turned out to be an asshole.

There are so many people in Canada that make way more than this who just aren't paying their fair share. We should also be doing more to tax assets other than income.

People who take a salary -- even a high salary, are most paying their fair share. I think they could make a reasonable argument that they pay way more than most (above 246752, 33% which is more than most people in the country).

Compare that with the wealthy:

From here

CEO Tobias Lütke (who was paid a $1 salary but received more than $26 million in option-based awards).

1$, meaning he pays ZERO income tax (he likely pays some taxes on his options).

This is somewhat common for wealthy people, adding more brackets on income isn't going get them paying their fair share.

What I believe we non wealthy people want to see is a wealth tax.

Having read one of his books, he's not qualified to speak on the topic of psychology.

The police illegally surveilled her? This doesn't seem good at all. She was voted in multiple times. This is almost opposite of what you are saying.

This is bad.

I think what's being said is: if housing prices lower, you are going to ruin some people's retirement plan -- at least some of those people will have worked hard their entire life to purchase and pay off that house. There's been some incentive to save in this way as well (first time home buyer plan, tax deductions for more ecologically sound houses, that kind of thing).

I suspect he's probably right, that letting house prices drop would over all make things worse in Canada. My goto solution would be to subsidize housing by increasing taxes on corporations and people/corporations that own more than one house. but i'm not any kind of expert

this is normal enshittification, we just move on to the next shit.

How is it impossible to be true?

I'm not sure how you could make this argument without making assumptions about base crime rates.

Interviews are a crapshoot, and feedback from them is usually valueless. Good luck to you in your future interviews

Game developers seem to get paid very little for something that's very difficult.

At the root i think passion among a great many people for (games, animals, hockey), leads to an oversupply of talent, which leads to depressed wages.

Why do people vote for this self centered kleptocrat
