Continued the tradition of hollowing out the middle class for wealthy donors like any other politician. The man represented Delaware for God's sake. Economy got "better" while people continued to get gradually poorer, materially.

I guess that's better than having every index in the world crater because chatgpt said tariffs on everyone though, so.

he looks very determined

CRTC: no, don't use the lube

This seems completely uncritical of Carney and Canada for that matter. The future isn't going to be lead without force because a middle power elects a prime minister with some good ideas about markets.

We don't need to rely on wars? We rely on exploitation even without it- ask any country where our mining firms operate with lax regulation. Hell, we've participated in "coalitions of the willing" in invasions and aerial bombings for corporate giants too. Most of this country is content to think the first Nations just decided to give us the land.

I'm happy to vote for more years of basically Trudeau lite and I have no illusions about it.

Superpower? Alright no need to chug the Kool aid this hard, let's wait until you find a chapter where he wants to develop a nuclear triad.

He's a traditional liberal which means not all that progressive beyond what's popular socially. Good for the wealthy fiscally, and maintained decline for everyone else. If you want to see what it'll be, look at the UK while he was heading up BoE. Or any Canadian Liberal government through the 90s-00s.

Despite all this he and his party obviously remain the superior choice to PP, but let's not kid ourselves. He's not going to neolib us into utopia.

Say "McDonald's!" to continue ride

I'm not sure the answers so far get to the gist of the problem- how to create these institutions in balance of power, where they can't just co-opt or capture one another.

I don't think it's possible to prevent one institution from actively deciding to give up and relinquish its responsibilities, without constraining or bolstering them to where they can't act as balances.

If they want power they find a way.

Making the same joke about the senator will result in the FBI breaking down your door. Funny how that works.

Just imagine, the citizens of the EU will finally have unfettered access to the Chrysler 200!

Considering Booker's recent pro-genocide votes, maybe don't rush to get excited about him.

Please make a Bluey deep dish pizza (pepperoni eyes)

I wish there was a way out of this points hell being everywhere you go. Every item gets more expensive to pay for it whether you like it or not, so don't lose out, collect today! Such a pain in the ass.

I don't suppose this really applies anywhere outside of certain countries

Crazy Bread days are over, it's time for Wellness Bread

In fairness this is the only way to enjoy the film. Other than media literacy YouTubers that'll praise it in a few years, I think this is the best it'll get in a while.

I hope he enjoyed the game

Hypothetically what if the actual counties and states in question didn't elect governors, senators, and a president that was Republican, because in reality they did? Hypothetically? What if?

He'll toss them a few subsidies like last time and secure their vote for the third term.
