Helsing posted:Not disagreeing with the spirit of this but you potentially lose out on stuff like income and sale taxes. If there is a gap in the market then someone will come fill it. Isnt that supposed to be the point of capitalism? If the doodad factory closes shop because of taxes taking shareholder earnings then let a local doodad company materialize. We shouldn't subsidize revenue to leave the country to make foreign shareholders happy just so the select people are the ones to profit from the productions and/or sale of doodads.

The local one won't bother even trying to materialize, because Shenzhen Things Makers can use a heavily-subsidized postal system to sell doodads that are half as good for a tenth the price and most customers won't care.

Ah yes, goodness measured as a function of ability to create harm. Person with a nuke is better than a person feeding the poor. Does this go further. Like, are there points? Squat 500 pounts : 1400 points Punch a baby: -1200 points Can do a pushup: 40 points Help people: Apparently not really important Baby punching squat man is clearly better than pushup helper, because think of all the other things he could have punched but decided not to. As with a lot of Peterson's bullshit, there's a kernel of an arguable point there but he takes it in a really dumb direction. He takes it from "it is virtuous to abstain from abusing power" to some weird extreme of "virtue does not exist for those who lack power"

T.C. posted:"virtue does not exist for those who lack power" TBF, he's doing what he always does, which is taking some old-rear end folksy nonsense and repackaging it with his bullshit pseudo-philosophy brand. There have been plenty of lead addled thinkers over the years saying non-violence isn't a virtue in the weak, he's just saying it again for a group of people that have never read a book before.

the manitoba government restricted question period today after their daily covid presser. normally its one question and a follow-up for every reporter and they can usually get through two full rounds of questions and then open up the floor for a bit. today was one question, no follow-ups and a complete free-for-all after one round of questions. the winnipeg free press data guy tore apart the numbers they released yesterday (its a tweet thread) https://twitter.com/__m_pereira/status/1255565361849626624?s=20

vyelkin posted:good news everyone the god-emperor of the north american right-wing has decreed that actually sweden is bad The media and conservative pundits have been jumping over themselves to portray Sweden as a fine example of why lockdowns aren't necessary because of how low their numbers are (which is fabricated horseshit built on early April numbers, their first wave is climbing right the gently caress now). Leave it to TURMP to undermine their entire narrative by correctly comparing them to their neighbors that DID lockdown, all because he wants his (extremely late) decision to lockdown to be justified no matter what. God do I love his endless self owns, his narcissism and brain worms so acute he can't help himself.

They haven't outright said this but it feels like they want bars open for may long weekend Edmonton and Lethbridge have encouraging numbers that might be okay for a phase 1 but no loving way Calgary is. The numbers are still high and people have already been ignoring the guidelines today. I guess everyone read the news that restrictions will be relaxing soon too because Memorial Drive was absolutely packed with pedestrians when I was out today, maybe 1/10th wearing masks and 1/20th even attempting to practice some form of distancing from strangers. This city is beautiful but its so cursed

My question is while you might start opening up some localities how are you going to stop movement between those localities and places that are harder hit? Only Quebec, as far as I know, actually limited travel within the province that went beyond the shelter at home order.

blatman posted:Does anyone have any idea why some essential employers are asking reservists to self-identify? Probably so they can identify who they want to lay off before potential domestic call up happens? This has been known for awhile that some employers dont like reservists because of the length time away from work needed for training and/or the potential for deployments. On a less cynical perspective, just to plan for eventual temporary replacements needed if a reservist is called up?
