#DougFord says the province’s “tough” cost of living is the reason why his govt handed promotions to three #Conservative MPPs, topping up their salaries by more than $16,000 a year.

The Premier has the audacity to whine about the "burden" his MPP's face because of the "cost of living" when MPPs enjoy a $165,000 salary + housing & mileage.

Reminder: Ford went to court over cost of living raises for #Ontario nurses, PSWs, ECEs, & public sector workers' while he froze their wages for 3 yrs.

And ODSP and OW recipients are living on less than 20k in the same cities as these MPPs and Ford says they're living off the gravy train :-(

Capitalism is a free market.

Capitalism is, for example, being able to buy a pack of cigarettes at $15 and sell them $2 a pop on the street to make $40.

We don’t have a free market; therefore we don’t have capitalism.

in reply to intensely_human

Capitalism is not synonymous with markets. A market is a distribution system, ie how goods and services are allocated, not how they are produced.

New to Mastodon and the Fediverse 👋
We are a small, fledgling movement trying to start some projects in Ghana. We align loosely with #solarpunk and #hopepunk and we believe humans would be much happier and healthier if we lived in harmony with nature and each other. Really hoping to make some interesting connections here with people and communities who are also passionate about being the change! #newhere #introduction

Do some people actually get these messages? It sounds almost illegal. I get emails from management moaning at me for not using my annual leave and reminding me to take them before they reset.

I've worked in a small company's small team of 3 devs before, it would not have been great for the company if two or all of us went on a holiday at the same time.

Yeah, turns out war is pretty fucked up. Look up the rape of nanjing. Or Pearl Harbor. Or Hiroshima.

You get the idea.

And Japanese cannibalism of executed POW's, and Ishii's biological warefare unit. War is Hell.
in reply to Jumpingspiderman

The US was the model for biological testing and eugenics, that's not why they fought japan, nor was it even one of the stated reasons at the time.
in reply to BurgerPunk [he/him, comrade/them]

Maybe I have an edgy take but I really don't care about brutality against Japanese imperialists. I hold them as much more evil than the Nazis during the 20th century.
in reply to Wakmrow [he/him]

That is edgy. Stalin virulently rebuked war crimes against Nazi Germany's civilians and POWs as it pushed them back.

By contrast, the brutality, starvation, and high death rates for nazi POWs held by the US in western europe during and after ww2 is not a story most ppl know about. Losurdo gets into this a bit, as well as contrasts the nazi's position that the slavic ppl must be eradicated and made into slaves, while the USSR's position was that germany and the german ppl will go on after the war, and efforts should be made to not follow the nazi's scorched earth policy.

Taking a second to really appreciate all that have made the #fediverse what it is here, and empowered the likes of #mastodon. Rarely do I go peek my head at the other sites, but when I do, I’m immediately inundated with ads or garbage shared posts. Here I’m grateful to have my little calm feed of planes, geeky tech, fish, and funnies. Thanks to ya’ll for making this a reality for me!

Start war- Lose. CRY. Repeat

Ridiculous shitshow. The only reason it is war is because the Muslims hate the Jews. That is all there is to it

If all the Jews would leave Gaza today, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia ans possibly Iran would take all the land, maybe even fight each other over it. Ans they would take all of Gaza too, There would be no more Palestine. Because they are only needed as an excuse to fight the Jews

Turn of the crocodile tears and stop pretending

in reply to EvolLove

Well genocide support is alive and well obviously ☝️ and this is proof that indoctrination and propaganda works.

Thankfully, the rest of the world is not so ignorant.

Can't wait for the War Crimes trials to rid the world of these criminals.

in reply to LPS

@lps
How about 7 October last year? Civilians slaughtered and their corpses paraded in front of celebrating masses?

Genocide wow such a big word. U do understand that Israel could blow all of Gaza in a day if they real wanted to kill all civilians as U keep claiming.

Israel got their land back from Great Britain. Who took it from the Ottoman Empire. PLO was founded by a NAZI and that is probably why the Socialists love them so much. Palestine has also been propagated by Soviet.

Right now, #23andme, the DNA testing and data collection site, might be up for grabs to the highest bidder.

Including some of the most private (and immutable) data of 15 million people.

«Genetic data is immutable and can reveal very personal details about you and your family members.»

This shows, that data that has been exposed and/or collected once, will be available to anyone with money or hacking skills.

More on the #23andme bankruptcy in this thread by @pluralistic (read upward from the link).

But the thread (read downward) alsopromotes the fascinating idea of a compulsory "living will", that for any company on whose function their customers rely on, the company has to set aside instructions and funds to help transition the users.

For goods attached to a mandatory cloud service, e.g. open-source the components or help free the goods from the cloud.
