Racist and tone deaf. Tracks for pigs. I'll allow it.

And surprisingly tasty. It's a complete package.

Well you helped...? FUCK OFF. What "local options"?

Service before Uber was non-existent with a monopoly controlling the market. Uber, Lyft and their ilk introduced competition into a stagnant monopoly. And yes, I supported them with my dollars. Eventually they also started nickel and diming we the paying public. Now, there's no service anywhere and all the whores are mimicking each other, so I've abandoned my "new" whore for an "old" whore.

The race to the bottom of the barrel is complete. Service matters naught. Only money. There were never any local options: a cab monopoly whore, they the likes of Uber who became whores, and now a whole ecosystem of money-grubbing whores.

Fuck you for thinking anything else..

 

The driver didn't wait, I waited for them. Four cents is twice the cost of my brand loyalty.

I hope this starts a trend. If these greed-driven whoring corporations want to glom onto every penny they can, fuck 'em. I'm out.

 

Rent-seekers can't trust brokers to do their work for them. BIG SAD. Now they have to do something to earn their ill-gotten booty.

Sooooo glad he won, and now we get to watch him shit all over centuries of foreign affair and military diplomacy. It's not "drill, baby, drill".

It's fascism and classism holding hands and chanting: "Shit, baby, shit".

How does anyone not see the complexion of the population and not see a breeding ground for racist fascists? Over 76% of Ablertans are white. In BC it's 46% whities. So go fuck all the way off, dickheads. We are inclusive, welcoming Canadians not rabid, NIMBY nazis. Deport yourselves to your true home in the despotic usa.

I like reminding my friends in professional law enforcement that these cameras are exactly what losing your job to a machine is about.

Ummm... 'cause I left half an hour after you, caught up, and can't pass.

Yet.

Canada is 9,984,670sq km with a population density of 4.5/sq km. That's ~2.2m routes to see all Canadians 5-times a week.

The UK is 244,376sq km with a population density of 286/sq km. If there was universal coverage that'd be about ~1000 delivery-person-routes per day. So delivering a route is orders of magnitude easier, faster, and simpler for the workers at the Royal Mail.

If the UK only had once a day delivery they'd be 0.045% as efficient as thier Canadian counterparts.

EVEN WITH twice daily delivery the Royal Mail has less than 1% the efficiency of CUPW workers.

With that said, both face external (couriers) and internal (government) pressure to profit.

Ask yourself this: as a service to citizens of both countries, what other public services have to make a profit? National Defence? National Healthcare? National Police?

None do because privateers have already raped and pillaged those services for maximum profit as suppliers. So they don't get lobbied the same - or even compared.

No, just Postal services with their well developed contact with the communities they serve are singled out to be profit centers for cash hungry politicians.

Disgusting? Odd word coming from a shitpile covered in maggots and pus.

Over a million dead trolls. That's a start.

CBC Site Of course the Ottawa resident isn't going to leave Stornoway and move to his suburban McMansion. Unemployable as he is, finding a mover who'll take "I'm sure to win the next election!" as a guarantee of payment is, ummmm, sketchier than most movers will accept.

 

If we were to make it too costly for US based companies to advertise would that bolster the "Buy Canadian" trip we're on. So Ford, Kraft, McDonalds etc can go fuck themselves.

Right?

 

I grew up listening to fundie christian parents babble at length how we were living in end times. And mocking them mercilessly (at first among my fiends, later to their faces) as often as possible.

Now look at us - on the brink of non-existence politically, environmentally, and civilizationally. Not sure that last one is a word.

If they were right I'm gonna have some 'splainin to do.

Dammit.

 
 

Just asking. I do not see me alive under u.s. reign, so I've already played that out; just a discussion.

If you are facing or have recently faced a renoviction by a flipper or merchant housing dealer, you may not understand the reason: greed. I recently went through a renoviction and it took me some time to see the reason why: the commodification of housing.

Better put as how to double your return on idle money by simply evicting the vulnerable and artificially inflating housing costs.

Big shout out to the conservative faction of "god what's you to be richer at any cost" for bolting a moral veneer of piety to this cruel and commandment breaking (#8, #9, & #10) approach.
