What did we get, cause it sure does seem like nothing.

I liked Jagmeet, and the NDP platform (well what i understood of it), if i wasn't worried that PP would get in they would have gotten my vote. I did feel that he didn't stand a chance of getting in.

I did read Carney's book (values), i found it extremely difficult to read, and said a lot without saying anything. I don't think he would get my vote if not for PP.

I'd like to see a rule that any politician voted in must work in an aid camp in a warzone to be elegable for office. Or maybe spend a year as an average citizen in their country.

I think people didn't vote for Carny as much as against PP. It's a bit sad that he is following the old playbook.

I hear you, and i agree. I don't understand how to achieve it though, a tax on net worth, with brackets starting at 100 million? Wouldn't they just move their money over a place that would hide it?

The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary.

What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.

I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading "Carless people". I don't even think that would happen, it's not like these companies can't afford it, they just don't want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!

I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.

The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn't happen.

the parent of this thread thinks it's stupid, and got up voted but like zero explanation. Looking at their post history they don't seem like a bot

I don't get the hate, it seems like about time these ultra rich companies paid some taxes?

Why is dst stupid?

Go has an idiom like so https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/8da4386caceb3fdfaa90074bb29c77e8a99c7dad/api/kv_test.go#L27, when i mention name i'm referring to that string.

I get what your saying, we've all worked in terrible code bases, i've also worked in code bases where this kind of article was enforced. What you wound up with was something that was very wordy.

Almost always use parameterized style tests, always have a name field, I don't use full sentences tho, that seems like too much. Don't believe I've ever seen a test like that either

These toy examples feel like strawmen to me

This is incorrect.

You should read a summary of "capital in the twentieth century" , a famous book by an economist that asserts mathematically that taxation of the wealthy is the solution for this issue.

"Also tarrifs are a leftist thing"

This kind of talk helps no one, and asserts something that is practically unassertable. Even if we could split the world evenly in two between left and right and at some point the left were the first to propose tarrifs there'd be so little relation to today as to be useless

Friend went to tidal I believe, on account of the Andrew Tate thing
