Bravo, Americans. What a sad banana republic you have become.

Cool story. Now pay your workers a living wage and get them health benefits.

This may or may not have legal weight, but I think that what this really does is put the forestry companies on notice to expect road blocks or similar action on their territory.

"Prices have come down relative to inflation" might sound reasonable, but it's a lie. Unit prices come down in all growing industries, as market base grows and economies of scale improve, more people train for careers in the field bring reduces labour competiton and therefore wages. They also aren't costing in micro-transactions.

The bigger the studio and the more sales they achieve, the lower their costs ... indies and small studios no doubt need to charge a higher price; but studios like 2K and EA could obviously be charging less.

Sure, I mean look how well we've done managing alcohol, zero social harm!

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I would argue for a slow approach to this one... and against handing it over to foreign companies.

People who are too dumb to understand the situation they are protesting. When RFK agrees with you, you should know you're on a whacko.

The streaming algorithms have really nailed "perfectly adequate, totally forgettable" content, it's pretty much all there is.

Most places have alternative labs, don't use lifelabs if it's avoidable, and also tell your doctor you won't use lifelabs if they are referring.

Anyone who will be in a party with conspiracy whacko John Rustad is a bottom-of-the-barrel scumbag. If you have a conservative MLA, it's safe to assume they are full maga anti-vaxx Jewish space laser weirdos.

And fuck Sturko for being okay with the anti-vaxx, anti-trans, anti-reality BC conservative platform, then clutching her pearls when the leopards start sniffing her face.

Of course. MAGA-conservatives have no original ideas. This is all the IDU playbook, PP is just playing his part in the human centipede, hungrily gobbling the shit out of Trump and Harper's assholes and then shitting it into the next mouth behind him. Russia, America, Hungary... it's all the same playbook: demonize minorities, demonize academics, silence scientists, bully the press, turn as against each other so we don't notice they are eroding our freedoms and giving our countries away to the oligarchs and technocrats.

Anyone who is voting for these fascists isn't reading anything and doesn't give a fuck about a platform. They want to see PP gel up his hair, be cruel to minorities on their behalf, and make us over in Trump's image.
