It needs to cover capital gains because of how many measure their wealth by unrealized stock gains.

Also estate tax loopholes need closing so generational inequality doesn't worsen

Maybe they'll pass once republicans are booted from state legislatures as blowback against 47 mounts.

But aside from donating to NGOs dedicated to cleaning up ocean litter, the average person has very little way to reduce the number of plastic nets in the water. It requires lifting fishermen out of poverty, teaching them more sustainable fishing practices, and cracking down on littering, all things that require international cooperation.

Y'know, this could almost be an advertisement for Shotgun King...

Dude just block it if you don't want any exposure. Curate your own Lemmy.

Maybe if it didn't get hijacked by crazies and conspiracy theorists after a few months.

Yea, despite Marit Stiles' best efforts (and Bonnie Crombie's mediocre efforts), Ford is better at getting headlines when he needs them. They didn't get enough opportunities to challenge his narrative and call him out on his scandals.

And since Trump distracted everybody, Dougie bet that voters would be too burned out to kick him out of office. With a 45% turnout this election, he was unfortunately correct.

I guess we get the governments we deserve. Bribing people with their own money seems to work on the average Ontarian.

I'm unconvinced enough voters are punishing Ford despite all of his mistakes.

Too many people get riled up over national politics and international events while ignoring their civic duties in their community and province. It's disappointing.

Lol this moron forwarded reddit comments to the FBI... the same FBI that is getting gutted by Trump.

I think they have much bigger problems than a whiny snowflake and his tiny ego.

This is how the orange man will stave off WW3, by uniting American and Russian troops against a common enemy!

Rubio is the secretary of state (foreign affairs)

Hails from Florida, iirc. Once despised Trump but has since kissed the ring (being handsomely rewarded afterwards).
