I can rewatch Corner Gas endlessly. It's so well written.

Those parents should be sued.

But other than that, this looks to be a problem that will eventually solve itself.

I think that's because its state changes seasonally.

I'm sure it'd be sold as "toughening people up like in the good old days before woke pussies".

Stoopid Texans. You've got the guns, start using the things. If they need cooling, maybe aerate a few blocks of servers for them.

Presumably they also pay some taxes, although it sounds like may of these places set up in unincorporated areas to avoid such things.

What's to be aggrieved about? I've never once heard the auto industry being a factor in western alienation. And I've written papers on the subject.

The auto industry is Canada's largest manufacturing industry, contributing more than $15B to GDP and 500,000 good paying jobs. There's good reason to protect it.

The company needs to buy out any landowner within earshot for 3x the value that their house was worth before the mine moved in.

I agree. But to manage the payment cycle, fraud, and chargeback processes, they'd need to partner with the big banks who already partner with the legacy CC companies. I would expect that those companies would push back hard.

Simple. Part of the merchant agreement with someone like MC or Visa is that you'll pay them 3%, but not tack it on as a visible fee for the purchaser, or offer discounts for non CC transactions. So a merchant could do so, but they run the risk of the CC company terminating their agreement and perhaps suing them.

communists and anarchists have very, very little in common.
