Right now, where I live in Canada, you can buy approximate 3.5 big macs per hour on minimum wage.
Not bad, but not great either.

So you're saying to throw salt at the vehicles. Got it.
Looks crispy.
The image describes 2014-2022. So it seems he's had 5 additional sit-downs with Russia between 2023-2025.
At least someone is trying to make peace happen (Ukraine).
I'm all for diplomacy. Finding diplomatic solutions to these kinds of problems is the ideal outcome.
When it's not ideal and you're dealing with someone irrational or uncooperative, then maybe fighting isn't the worst way to go.
Bluntly, I support Ukraine. They're clearly trying to make diplomacy work.
I can't say the same for Putin/Russia.
Well, the liberals got in last election based on voting reform (at least in part), and they didn't do shit. The conservatives certainly won't implement it.... There's just, a lot to process with how fucked the current voting and government system is.
At the end of the day, all politicians are owned by one corporate interest or another... That's not going to change.
We simply need too many people to decide to vote differently all at once to get someone else in there.
I recognize that I'm part of the problem.
My area went to the conservatives, but it wasn't close. Especially in times where it's important to win, vs business as usual, I tend to vote with whatever party is polling highest in my area that isn't conservative.
I'm sure the liberal party won't do a stellar job, but they're often trending above NDP in most areas I've lived in. I don't want to have my vote invalidated by vote splitting.
I'd like to think we have three or four parties actually competing for leadership but the truth of it is, the left leaning folks are divided, while the right is (mostly, or at least more than the left) united under one banner. Therein lies the strategic failing of everyone on the left.
This just makes me reflect on how many Americans, even Trump voters, are basically screaming from the rooftops that Trump is doing real harm to them, and maybe, just maybe, that message will actually be heard.
Then I remember that he's replaced just about everyone who can get into earshot of him with an echo chamber of what-the-fuckary. Absolute useless humans, who will shield Trump from hearing about any negatives from the decisions he's making.
Everything they're saying to the public is spin. It might be based in fact, somewhere in the background, but it's so far divulged from that truth that it's difficult to even tell what true thing was spun this hard to generate the things they're saying. There's a nontrivial amount of it that's just outright fabrications.
I'm not an American and I couldn't vote in the US election. I'm your neighbor to the North and all I could do was watch, in horror, as the vote went to the orange party.
As a Canadian, we might just build a border wall.... Mainly to keep the crazy out of our country.
This is the correct answer.
