So far he's proposed to give more tax cuts than the Liberals. The day after the Liberals promised a $6 billion tax cut for low and middle income earners, PP promised a $14billion tax cut, without saying how he'd do it. If he cut dentalcare, pharmacare, childcare, and the CBC completely (all programs he's described as wasteful), he'd still be $1billion short of paying for that tax cut.

He's promised to get more homes built by cutting federal funding to cities that don't build 15% more homes than they did last year, not charging GST on new builds, and selling government property to be converted into apartments.

Other than that his talking points are mostly about capping immigration and securing the border.

They’re a Republican voter, after all

The quote is from Tennessee State House Rep. Todd Warner, though I'm sure they do vote Republican.

If an instance admin stickies a post it'll show up at the top of all your feeds (unless you sort by "top").

However, I checked lemm.ee and it doesn't have any stickied posts, but it does have a month old post stuck at the top of "all". Comments in the thread are complaining about it. I see lemm.ee is using the newest version of Lemmy (v0.19.10) so maybe it's a new bug?

"I'm in favor of reducing the Department of Education on the federal level," Warner said. "I would love to see President Trump send more money back to the states. I'm good with that, but I don't want to see that go to the private sector. I want to see it help our public schools."

I'm confused by this statement. What does "send more money back to the states" mean? Does the US have federal schools or something? Isn't the federal government paying for state run schools already sending money back to the states?

This monument overlooks Montreal.

Sometimes she acts like she's got something to say, but nothing comes out when she moves her lips. It's just a bunch of gibberish. 😔

I can only imagine what it's like being part of the recording team when it comes to getting the hurt sounds. Probably something like this.

One day humanity would end because the president of Turkmenistan got into an argument with the president of Uzbekistan over where the imaginary line that separates the countries is drawn on maps.

Lemmy is serious business!

While you were out partying, I studied the post.

Economics Explained has an interesting video on the topic. After WWII, Japan became the first country in Asia to undergo an industrial revolution and soon became the second largest economy after the US and was by many accounts set to match or even overtake the US. They then suffered an economic collapse due to unchecked growth and speculative markets and decided to never again speculate on the future and just stick to tried and true methods.

Since the 1990s, Japan's economy has barely changed while other nations have seen huge growth. You'd assume that would mean Japan is now far behind, but they aren't. They seem to have mastered keeping everything the same for decades without the normal decline that comes with it.

Not having enough cash to eat food until your next payday is dystopian no matter how it's done. I think this is more to hide the fact that Door Dash is charging way too much for their service. I've never used it but I've had friends quit using the app because of the realization that they're paying $50 for McDonalds. Turning the checkout price into $12.50, that you'll be paying four times over, reduces the sticker shock and avoids people getting a reality check.
