The root cause is the economic inequality. People are angry they so little while Billionaires have massive amounts of money.

Do we know WHO ordered this ICE hit? Because this is a clown show of Epic proportions. Those guys were there to set up a factory for MAGA people to work at. This stunt has ignoranc…

The elite in Canada want people from countries who have lower work environment expectations. Over the last 5 years Canada has taken in hundreds of thousands of new immigrants. The …

>If you're a business that offers 3 services to the public and "AI" could automate one person's salary out of your payroll, why would do that as opposed to keeping your headcount a…

Its interesting how the VCs just want to apply AI to creative tasks/occupations rather than mundane/drudgery tasks. AI should be applied to all those horrible tasks we wish we didn…

What's to stop Hedge Funds or other "investors" from buying these houses up? Houses have to be owner occupied, not investment vehicles. I know, I know "what about rentals", etc? Wh…

When wages become too expensive, you automate. That's economics. Keeping wages artificially low (with Immigration for example) disincentivizes businesses from investing in new tech…

The problem with the "I've got nothing to hide" argument is it's not "you" who decides what is "right" or "wrong". The entity doing the "spying" determines what is right or wrong. …

Totally agree. I think also the Scandinavian countries were sad to see the UK go, as someone else has mentioned in another comment, it was a counterweight to German/French hegemony…

But the irony of the 2004 enlargement is that is what primarily led to the UK voting for Brexit.

Lets not forget what swayed the working class (former Labour stronholds) to vote Brexit in the first place: IMMIGRATION! [aka "free-movement"] Tony Blair was the only leader to all…

A start would be ditching FPTP elections. People vote with their emotions, regardless of education. But I will concede education helps. However, look at all the educated but gullib…

The landlords will just raise their rents accordingly. Effectively taxpayers will be subsidizing landlords. This is effectively what happened in the UK where those on low income ge…

This. So called left-wing parties now only care about Identity politics. They have abandoned the working classes.

Immigration is to keep the wages down. Also, third world immigration is preferred because those immigrants are more tolerant of crap wages, crap working conditions and crap existen…

High Speed Rail is expensive. Wouldn't be better to put the money towards Regional local services instead?

Can anyone recommend some good Soviet/Russian Sci-Fi? Obviously, it would have to be available in English translation.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, Alan Dean Foster has written some of the better Star War series stuff. I only read a little bit of Three-body Problem a few years ago. Perhaps more char…

You've got me intrigued. Care to list a few of your favourite "heavy, chewy, thought-provoking sci-fi books"?

It hasn't solved the problem of affordability. Rent and condo and house prices are some the highest in the world. You end up just building housing for foreign investors to make mon…

In Vancouver its build build build and the investors buy buy buy. You need to make the new build available for people who want to live in them. Simply building more is not enough. …

Sure, but you have to somehow prevent investors from snapping it all up. Vancouver is a perfect example of what not to do.

The one thing that is certain is that Ukraine will lie in ruins.

Phillips O'Brien? He claims on Twitter Russia is the most likely candidate for blowing up the Nordstream pipeline. He's just a "Security services stenographer".
