  • You know, everyone’s getting pissed off at seeing these numbers but it is over many years.

    They’ve already lost 20% of their buying power just in the last 4 years, and that’s if you go by the fake CP lie. Reality is you need food and shelter and transportation a lot more than you need a new smart phone (my phone is from before covid), so cost of living has gone up a lot more than it says for actual people.

    It isn’t really the company’s fault that inflation went so high, but as a defense contractor they are one of the beneficiaries of The extreme government spending that led to the inflation. The fact that they’ve mismanaged themselves into Oblivion isn’t really material here, that’s entirely self-inflicted. Every time one of the Frontline workers tries to speak out they get assassinated…


















  • Industrial scale power requires massive destruction of nature. That’s the nature of trying to light and heat millions of homes, especially in the winter. The question must become what is the least harmful most effective thing to do. It isn’t as simple as “solar farms and wind farms” since you have to heat and light those homes when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. “Batteries!” Sure but the environmental devastation from having to build battery banks that large would be overwhelming, not to mention having to size your solar and wind to provide all the province’s power while the sun shines and wind blows meaning there’d be way more than you expect, and then after 30 years you’d have to do it all over again because the batteries, windmills, and solar panels would all have to be replaced.

    Water looks nice when it’s at a scale that can’t power anything too. In fact, even small enough scale fossil fuels don’t look that bad. The problem is when you make it big enough to actually provide all the energy you need. One big reason why “reduce” is the most important thing we can do.
