It’s a youtube streaming channel.

The viewing numbers are laughably low.

I love that result for his ego.

Stfu, you lying old criminal.

Your words have no power here.

The Quebec referendums caused a corporate exodus from the province due to the uncertainly.

I fully expect the same to happen in Alberta unless the referendum delivers an overwhelming STFU result to the separatists.

that’s not really in either discussion about fertilizer shortages or trade wars now.

At least not yet…

I have every confidence in Trump’s ability to fuck that up too without understanding the consequences of his actions.

Respect and the ability to negotiate in good faith probably would have got lower potash prices because it would be mutually beneficial

The USA already buys many commodities (including potash and crude oil) from Canada at a discount from global prices.

And, because Canada sticks to our agreements (unlike Trump’s USA), we haven’t removed that “most favored nation” discount.

How broken is everyone in that country that they elected this garbage…twice!

A ridiculous number of them voted for him 3 bloody times.

Unforgivable.

It will take generations of good behaviour before the rest of the world will want to truat the Americans again.

Eye and hair.

Just like they did in Nazi Germany.

What do they want, a ferris wheel?

When you have a long delayed connection, it’s nice to be able to find some food or a coffee.

if you decide to visit the US.

There is a lot more reasons not to do that than there are reasons to go there.

We all need shitty travel phones with very little on them now.

Or don’t travel there.

The pile of reasons to not visit the USA grows daily.

Loud and highly motivated to vote

it speeds me up for tasks I have the skills to verify

The issue is that the executives only see the potential to speed up, and not the necessity of having skilled people who can do that verifying.

That’s why I referred to the story as a “legend” (and it is a story that had been passed around for decades), not a fact that I can provide documentary proof of for a humorous internet comment.

It would only give the powers in charge to excuse they need to crack down hard and openly seize more power.

They’re doing it whether you fight back or not.

ICE fucked off out of Minnesota after they got enough pushback to be uncomfortable for them. And, yes, there were horrible sacrifices made, but in the end, the ICEholes left.

I used to work with a guy called Frank Yu.

Our company emails were first initial, last name…

He was a badass, though. Legend has it that he had a hole drilled in the face shield of his helmet so he could still light up a smoke while driving.

First I’ve heard about it.

Which means I don’t have time to get there before it’s over.

These things need to be better publicized if they hope to get masses of people to participate.

It always happens. After privatization prices go up and/or service levels go down.

That’s the only way for the new owner to “earn” their profits.

Privatization is a one-time win for the finances of the government of the day, and a long term burden on the people who use that service.

But some profiteer gets infrastructure for cheap that they can extract profit from.

I can’t think of a single instance of selling public infrastructure to American equity or hedge funds that has worked out.

Or even selling public infrastructure to any private entity, American or not.

When something is privatized, there is a new incentive added - that the formerly public thing starts earning a profit for the new owner.

A profit that needs to grow annually.

And that leads to reduction of service, reduction of staff, deferred maintenance, nickle-and-dimeing new “service” fees, and a general loss of accountability to the public.
