Genuine question, how is this different than tracking inflation of food? Something that Statistics Canada already does.

I had to create an account on a government website. The website didn't list a character limit so I used a password manager to generate a 32 character password. My account was created but I couldn't log in. I used the "forgot my password" option and I received an email of my password in plain text. I also noticed why I couldn't log in. The password was truncated to just 20 characters. Brilliant website! Tax dollars at work!

Working at a fast-food restaurant obviously isn't a "real" job! At least nobody "smart" works there! Those types of jobs are just for the lower caste of society and unbecoming of a college graduate!

But seriously, we all need to treat fast-food workers better, as well as any other "unskilled" job. The idea that they're meant to be bad jobs is what keeps them bad jobs. There should be nothing wrong with a college graduate working any job full-time. Just because a cashier isn't going to use calculus to do their job doesn't mean anyone who took a math course is overqualified. Everyone being well educated makes society better.

I pirated old editions of most textbooks but I had a few professors that required a textbook that came with a code that you'd need to register for online quizzes. Answering these online quizzes was 30% of your grade in the course, so not buying the textbook was essentially taking a -30% penalty to your grade. If that wasn't bad enough, one of the textbooks like that was solely written by the professor teaching the course. It was around 100 pages of basic facts and then a code for online quizzes and sold for $200. This guy taught a class of 400 first year students. What a racket.

Right, but nobody tells anyone interested in physics to read Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. If you're interested in history, sure. If you're interested in physics, read a modern physics textbook.

Reading Marx is like reading Adam Smith. Both wrote about economic systems before economics was even a thing. All ideas start somewhere but our ideas, and our society, have advanced dramatically in the 140+ years they've been dead. They're more interesting for historical purposes than economic ones.
