Not that brave, and fully accurate.

In this case it is both malice and incompetence acting together to create the worst possible outcomes.

Some people seem to have a harder time answering it than others.

I wonder why…

The fact that their warehouse stock of US booze didn’t sell out during the year-end charity sale tells me that my fellow Manitbans are choosing well.

Wasn’t that just underwater data centers that used the surrounding ocean as for cooling?

I don’t remember wave power being a notable part of their plan.(though I may have forgotten a detail or 2 over the years)

claiming Canada has failed to meet its commitments on defence spending.

Translation: theyre angry that Canada isn’t doing 100% of its defense spending with American millitary suppliers.

the answer to fixing things is more and more going to be “get Claude to fix it”

Yeah that will certainly work (eyeroll) to deal with things that were done 10 years ago as a workaround to some other undocumented incompatibility.

If a company does layoffs, they should not be allowed to hire any staff in the same or similar roles for 12 months.

The workload doesn’t decrease, it just gets spread to the remaining workers who are already overloaded because of the previous round of layoffs…

This means after 5 to 10 years of this cycle all that’s left of the company’s institutional knowledge is how to deliver for KPIs and the sycophants who best adapt to this reality. You get a hollowing out of the company.

That happened (and continues to happen) to my former employer.

After years of layoffs and outsourcing, the company doesn’t have anyone on staff anymore who knows how half of the systems work.

Theae days, if something is more than 5 years old, the operations and maintenance staff (entirely outsourced contractors now) have to pray the documentation is correct (or even obtainable) if they have a hope of fixing it if anything breaks.

we have so many layoffs this year.

And the year isn’t even half over yet.

Just wait until the full impact of Trump’s bullshit works its way through the economy.

The carnage will be felt for a decade or more.

6 people that we know about…

Edit. Canadians don’t understand sarcasm now?

I take it you have never heard of Poe’s law?

We live in a company town now. Every cent that comes in goes right back out

St Peter don’t you call me, 'cause I can’t go.

I owe my soul to the company store.

AI video.

Disappointing.

For those (like me) who weren’t familiar with the term:

A tripwire force (sometimes called a glass plate) is a strategic approach in deterrence theory whereby a small force is deployed abroad with the assumption that an attack on them will trigger a greater deployment of forces.The deployment of the small force is designed to signal the defending side’s commitment to an armed response to future aggression without triggering a security spiral.

I’m extremely avoidant of anybody that even ask for ID.

I don’t even give them my phone number when getting a haircut.

Sending someone to a country other than their country of origin isn’t deporting, it’s expelling.

is anyone in Canada making a bourbon-like whiskey?

Yes

What if the kid lies and says they didn’t use AI?

Have them re-do the assignment in a classroom with the teacher (or any other procror) present.

Trump never admits he’s wrong about anything.

Trump is a reflection of the people who elected him (twice)

I doubt the USA will ever be able to admit that they (as a country) were ever wrong about anything.
