I hipe not. Space can fuck right off. I dont want to give them money. It might be useful for getting into certain orbits, but if spacex wanted that, they could just build that in Alaska. I think this is for Canadians to use for Canadians. If this was 10 years ago I could see us using this to host american launches, but I dont think we are in that political climate anymore. But hey, I could be wrong.
No. Americans have always called themselves leaders of the free world, leaders of democracy, the land of the free, and until about a year ago, they were, in principle, a free nation.
Now they are not. Now calling them free, is a lie. You dont get to call them freedom units anymore. If you want that back, you’ll need to get your freedom back. I will always let anyone i see that uses that term know they are no longer free, as long as they aren’t.
The loss of their freedom, and their choice to very little about it so far, will mean lots of pain and destruction for many people while their leader wages war on peiple starves them of power etc… all of his actions are blood on their hands. Unless they start doing everything in their power to prevent it.
They aren’t freedom units anymore. Maybe fascist units, tyranny units, something more along those lines.
Ya, hopefully they can develop their own reusable rockets, and also weapons.
This is good news, but its gonna be tough to compete with reusable space rockets.
Boycott amazon. Don’t watch prime, dont biy their goods. Don’t even pirate their shows.
They are helping destroy democracy, and bankrupting brick and mortar stores.
Do you want amazon to be the only store you can shop at? Imagine the enshitification if that happens.
And to make it happen, all they need to do is pay the right people enough, or gove them something they want, and they’ll have everything they ask for approved.
Don’t give them power. They are waging war on your rights and freedoms.
If you think its too great a sacrifice for freedom, then even more reason to boycott, because they already have you by the balls.
Yes. Maga gets tremendous power from 2 main sources. 1. Money. 2. Social media, and also religion, but not much you can do about that.
So, like Kimmel situation, disney had profit in firing him, once peiple boycotted, it did not, so had to bring him back.
You need to make siding with trump non-profitable.
That means, you, an individual, even if you think your choices dont matter, you need to boycott every company that supports trump, no matter how hard it hurts you. Now, it does t need to be a complete boycott. But as much as possible. For example, there are suitable replacements for chrome, and google search. But not really for YouTube. You don’t need the stock for these companies to be zero. You just need the projections to be significantly negative.
This is especially important for the social media maga controls.
They are using it to brainwash others. Not you. They know you cant be persuaded to become maga. So they let you think it is free, and subtly control what you’re allowed to see, and they corrupt young people, spread lies, teach to hate women, etc… they wont show the ones they are brainwashing all the truths you know about maga.
They have this power because everyone continues to use their platforms. So number one thing is to stop using meta, twitter, and tiktok, no matter how much you love those. Force people to use signal if they want to contact you, not WhatsApp.
Organize irl, whatever local movement you align with that fits into being pro democracy and freedom and equality for all.
When people organize, they can donate, and fund. This lets you go and protest on congress’ front lawn. You can have buses, trains, free food, things people need to come and go, and create a sustained peaceful protest. And MAGA will see that. The administration will be forced to call them paid actors. So be vocal. Get pro democracy flags for your car. Put them up in your homes. Maga can control what the brainwashed see on social media, but not irl. So you need to be vocal irl. Social media makes everyone think all the world agrees with them.
Do all of those things, and trump will lose tremendous power.
Even if you act alone. Make the sacrifice. Show by example, and remember those videos of one man dancing alone, and then another joins and another, and once people see the movement they join in. Start the wave.
Yup, I totally get that. Plus theres the satisfaction of it. And for many things the option to have it custom suited to your needs.
If I was a billionaire, there would be very few things I’d buy from a factory. Well, maybe not few, like toothbrushes toilet paper etc… obviously there are many things id get factory, but wherever possible, I’d prefer hand made by artisans, because its cooler, I want them to have jobs, and I can have it custom made. I’d be prepared to pay that premium for others to do it too.
Yes it does, if you want to be good at it.
If its a job, you dont need another job, whoch means all your time and effort can be used for being a great artist.
Ya, unfortunately Iran, Russia, China, these countries all suck as well. But Israel/US are a much more immediate threat. Unless you’re Ukraine, as russia is obviously the more immediate threat, and you dont want to help Iran for that reason, since they are team russia, but I agree Trump should not be enabled. Let him waste his resources and Iran’s and russia in a fight together, and we will pay the cost of inflation for it. It’s not a bad deal.
Ya lol. Thats always the way. Mass production really reduces the cost of everything like crazy. Anything one builds for themselves is always going to be crazy expensive compared to factory made. Unless they have all the equipment already, and knowhow to do it real fast.
No, because if the information is public domain, then anyone can freely copy and redistribute it. Nobody could incent anything, because as soon as you do, its public, and anyone can copy it. Nobody could create unique software, because anyone could copy it.
If an artist or creator has a unique original idea, then in your system, it is automatically public, and free for anyone to copy and redistribute.
Nobody will give a shit who the original is, if they can get the exact same thing for cheap or for free.
In the 90s, everyone knew who the original artists for music was. They still all downloaded it for free, because they could, and it was not even legal.
So, i’m afraid you’re living in a fantasy world with this idea.
Intellectual property is important. But, I think it is too highly enforced in some cases and not enough in others. For example, I believe it should be the law that anyone could make an operating system fully compatible with windows, and that windows should be force to provide all information to allow that, as otherwise they have an unjust monopoly.
There are other cases like that, like, I believe every nation should make it mandatory that all social media algorithms are publicly declared, able to be copied, and able to be tested to make sure the declared algorithm is correct. This way they cant be biased to brainwash people.
But your idea goes too far, as it completely.destroys anybody’s ability to make profit off ideas.
The result will be that people keep ideas to themselves.
Yes, because they are being used to defend against the person supplying your weapons.
Being able to secure your own sovereignty is pretty top of the list of your concerns.
Weapons dont need to be fired in order to be effective, nor a good use of money.
In fact, effective weapons you don’t ever fire, is a way better use of money than one’s you need to use.
Yes, I fully agree, and Canada needs a nuclear deterrent as well.
I will be extremely against any nation helping trump. I dont care how expensive things get.
Then artists could not create anything as a job.
Now remove the bottom and re-do that one and your fridge looks meant to be that way, and better.
Technically the straight is vital for all countries. So Trump went and fucked the world with his war mongering. And countries may be wishing to workout a deal that if they help him, they get something if he is successful, but imo, that would be a mistake, since his agreements aren’t worth shit.
So, to me, the only solution is to wait and see and leave trump on his own.
He will definitely use that later on and accuse of not helping etc… but thats fine. If countries do help, it wont score them with brownie points, because trump always wants more, so if he can back out of a deal, and you dont have much leverage to force him not to, he will just TACO right out of it.
I’d sooner help Iran secure the straight, and china, and bring the entire american economy to its knees, before I helped it win its war.
And if I ever DID consider sending ships, I’d ask for 20 billion$ up front, and once the check clears, i will send my ships.
Cut your losses, and fuck america.
Canada needs to start building its own shit.
We had blackberry, we had Avro aero,we are capable of building things. We have good education. We should be building things and selling them. We dont uave a large population, but we are capable of that.
