The fossil fuel industry is a cancer on society. Having basically succeeded in pushing atmospheric carbon dioxide past the point of no return, their climate disinfo astroturfers are now stanning for white nationalists. Science!

Stickarts posted:Very cool. I can do my own research I suppose, but it would be nice if they linked to data/articles explaining the present and realistic future of each of the million different variables they let you play with. If you click "How this model handles this policy" it gives you a statistical look on how the numbers are generated. Each one sort of has an extended blurb on what the policy actually is as well.

I love that the highest bracket only goes up to 35%, that's some weak rear end taxes. I want something like: Under 30k: 0% 30-40k: 20% 40-60k: 40% 60-100k: 60% 100-200k: 70% 200k-500k: 80% 500k+: 90% Also where's the button to get rid of principal residence exemption? Investment income is investment income!!

Winnipeg has its first challenger for the mayoral election in October and anti-pedestrian and anti-transit! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/motkaluk-winnipeg-mayor-campaign-1.4591750 quote:Winnipeg business-development consultant Jenny Motkaluk is mulling a mayoral campaign that would appeal to voters unhappy with incumbent Brian Bowman's urbanist infrastructure-spending priorities. Brian Bowman is clearly out of touch with people who live on Wellington Crescent and support the Reform party!

I guess there's LCBO and whatever else the OLP hasn't firesaled off yet. Offer corporate naming rights to public infrastructure first, billions right there. The radio guys would have to talk all morning about how the McDonald's valley parkway is moving smoothly. Good value.

My expectations for him were pretty low, but Bowman has been better than expected. I'm not sure i'll vote for him, but if there isn't a decent candidate from the left, then I probably will.

If UWaterloo wanted an easy way to prevent some stupid nazi debate, say they'll allow it but insist it has to be outside on one of the few remaining campus green spaces and just watch as the hordes of brutal murder geese take care of the problem.

You don't really need to use murder as an adjective for geese. It's already implicit in the animal's name. Geese are only second to swans in terms of rear end in a top hat birds.

But yeah the baked in ideological assumptions of those were almost as interesting to me as the number crunching. That graph pitttheelder posted is fa sho a go to of mine.

Geese are the true masters of the area, human presence is barely tolerated around the church colleges.

I spent seven years at UW. One year a goose pinned a rare wild turkey in a courtyard and traumatized it till it decided that it's best escape was to try to fly through a plate glass window into the English building. It shattered the window, severed an artery and bled out on the hallway floor. Bullying an animal until it kills itself is the most goose thing I've ever seen.

It's amazing how easy it is to fix everything by raising taxes on the rich by even a minuscule amount. You don't even have to go near historic levels to get a surplus. Really shows how much of a non-problem most of the countries money related issues are. The rich just would rather burn the country down than pay even a penny.

Mass murder doesn't need a merch table. Dibs on "Murder at the Merch Table" by the way. Could be a good name for a song or detective novel.

That's why even today, 3 days after the attack, I still see people checking in as 'safe' on facebook. Sure it seems a bit silly to me, but if it brings people some measure of comfort after something horrific then I think I'm probably the rear end in a top hat for being judgmental about it.
