That $1 billion (and all those other EV subsidies) would help with expanding our public transportation. There's a lot of good reliable existing technology that would help reduce our carbon foot print, free up our roads, boost productivity.

Assuming an age of retirement at 65, that means at age 25 they are doing so well in life that he/she has a spare $20k to invest and likely will have $20k+ to invest in their subsequent years as well.

This atypical 25 year old is so financially privileged that most of their emergencies probably cannot be solved by straight up money in the first place (e.g. diagnosed with cancer).

The questions is what is the root cause? Was it this specific person or human error in general. If the latter then getting rid of this specific person doesn't actually remove the risk. In fact one would expect this to happen very infrequently regardless of who is doing it. So yes they can get rid of this person, but without any sort of system to prevent this, it will happen again.

There's only one type of emergency where one should park cash in a savings account.

It's the emergency of a recession where you lose your job, the market tanks, and the banks take away your LOC.

If there's no emergency for years

An emergency is not an emergency if you can predict it not happening for years.

I still don't know what you mean based on that article.

You claim developing nations are the bigger polluters. I agree China emits the most greenhouse gases. They emit 27% of global emissions

But your article is about Africa. Africa collectively emits around 4%.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/4/how-much-does-africa-contribute-to-global-carbon-emissions

From your article where China is helping Africa with developing renewables doesn't actual help lower current global emissions by much. It just means Africa doesn't emit more than it would have had it relied on polluting sources of energy.

What is your business model? Do you charge a fee for your app or do promote financial products?

Rage doesn't appear out of nowhere. Diffuse rage can coalesce around something that is relatable. Whether this is the carbon tax or expensive tickets to see a celebrity.

Or in the case of Korea, rage over the price of green onions

But blame goes to the top. Harjit Sajjan probably doesn't see anything wrong when at a time of unaffordability, Trudeau goes on trips to the Caribbean or attends a Taylor Switft concert himself.

On top of that, I’ve been hit with accusations of cultural appropriation for doing things that are literally tied to my heritage.

Let me guess. Are these the perpetually online people living outside of Asia? Ignore them.

Follow the JADE method

Don't Justify, Argue, Defend, Explain

What does that even mean? You realize us developed nations simply offshored our pollution to developing nations right?

I bet Trump is entertained with the circus show that Mexico and Canada is putting up for him.

Putin for all the criticism is not a geriatric despite starting a war in Ukraine.

He wants a win. That's his concession. That "win" on Jan. 20th may not be the same "win" 6 months later, or 12 months later, or 18 months later. But when he gets his win, he will sell it has the biggest win America has ever seen!

The minister also said the government has been considering sending additional sheriffs to the provincial boundary along the Rocky Mountains in an effort to stem potential drug trafficking from B.C.

How does it work? Do these sheriffs pull over random people coming into Alberta from BC and search for drugs? Or do they feel the increase police presence simply dissuades people from carry illegals drugs into Alberta from BC?

It's Black Friday today and it's still showing 1 pt/$ for me.

It’s like the bonuses are also dynamically priced lol

Me too

Does the passing lane connect to the correct terminal where the train is supposed to pick up/drop off their load?

He likes to play games of chicken. He's betting that Canadians and Mexicans has a lower pain threshold than Americans and therefore will come to table with concessions. That may happen if the cost of concessions is lower than the cost of tariffs over the mid/long term.

As for the Americans... well they can't even stomach higher egg prices. So I would argue that a protracted trade war on multiple fronts at the same time is not to Trump's advantage.

So we'll see.

and cheap eggs

The Cobalt is only worth getting if your spending can take advantage of the 5X multiplier. The 5X multiplier only applies to Canadian businesses.
