Helsing posted:It's unsurprising that many NDP and Lib voters get anxious about deficits given that their own parties and the entire media actually agree with the Conservatives on deficits being bad and balanced budgets being good. the budget criticism i hate the most is the "tax & spend" talking point, like "oh their reckless tax spend tax spend is there no end to their wastefulness" tax and spend is also known as "an economy"

other than a carbon tax how much have the liberals actually increased taxes, the conservative party can actually just repeat things enough until its true and their supporters believe it

Conservatives started seriously undermining healthcare under Harper, thanks to the changes made to funding by Martin/Chretien and I don't doubt they would actually make some major cuts/privatization if they get elected again

Investing relatively modestly, that's extra capital gains and a sprinkling of dividends on: 2016: 5k x2 = 10k * 0.15 * 1.15 * 1.05 + 10k * 0.15 * 1.05 + 10k * 1.05 = 3886.25 2017: 5k x2 = 10k * 0.15 * 1.05 + 10k * 0.05 = 2075 2018: 5k x2 = 10k * 0.05 = 500 So, if I didn't screw anything up too badly (oops re: 5k vs 4500), the TFSA cut = an extra 6461 in taxable capital gains for a couple, (~1600 in future tax) only 2.5 years in... that'll compound over time, and totally ignores the tax on dividends.

the ads are always exactly one or two minutes long so it's easy to skip them with the "fast forward 30 seconds" or whatever button on your podcast player

So given that podcasts are recorded and never played live, every ad on every podcast is for the same five or ten things, and every podcast ad is delivered formulaicly, why is it that nobody does automatic podcast adblocking with guided voice recognition or whatever? Even the brute force approach of an automatic two second mute/skip whenever someone says "our sponsor" (etc), maybe five or ten seconds after "brought to you by" seems like a big step up.

This is hypothetically possible, the best kind of possible. It's worth mentioning that podcast ads are getting increasingly targeted and creepy, though. Unless the hosts are reading the ad themselves (and sometimes even then) the ads are served dynamically when you download it.

They are literally for blind people and people with disabilities and are required by most cities now My company distributes them, they also come in polymer composite with woven fiberglass for the ones with colour that you see at transit areas or places that get cold and the metal would destroy the concrete.
