I'm looking into Rust GUI libraries myself and playing around with Slint. I think it can use QT as a renderer, but I could be wrong.

Out of curiosity, any specific reason for QT as a requirement? It's certainly a good framework but I'm just wondering if there is anything specific for your use case.

Nope. This is just an attempt to muddy the waters and redirect the conversation to something else. The article is about market concentration in housing.

What is "the problem"? Do immigrants own the largest 25 financial landlords in Canada holding nearly 20 per cent of the country’s private, purpose-built rental stock?

Increasing market concentration is because immigrants. Got it. 🙄

Emacs!

With LSPs it works for just about anything and Magit is simply too good.

And he'll just come back as a BT to ominously hover over the team.

Perturbator is so fun! I'd love to see a live show.

I assume by "them" you mean the government?

The government doesn't manage housing or food. That's all the work of the free market baby! If there was a government run food store, for example, it would be able to operate at cost since it doesn't necessarily need to turn a profit. Heck, it could even run at a loss if we as a society agreed it has value beyond dollars. In other words, we could offset the loss with tax dollars if we agreed it was of benefit to society.

I agree that monopolies are a problem though and that the government needs to actually start enforcing some anti trust. But taking an active role with crown corporations will also help reduce monopoly power, so its a tool to use along with enforcement.

As for health care, that's a provincial concern but I also agree. Where I come from, the people around me keep voting in the very party who for over 40 years has proven to be incapable of managing health care. And yet there are functional public health care systems out there. So it's not a matter of a government being incapable of managing health care. Rather, we have strong evidence that a conservative government is incapable of managing health care.

Of course there are lots of examples of governments managing things poorly, but there are also countless examples of private companies managing things poorly. The difference I think is that with the government you at least have some say. I don't think the government should run everything, but certain key industries (mostly infrastructure type things) I think would be better off in public hands.

What if the government just started running crown corporations again? They could price things a lot lower and take business away from the private entities. It'll take some initial investment, but that's money well spent I think.

Maybe start with insurance and undercut that entire industry. Then use the profit to fund the establishment of other crown corps. Since they don't have to appease shareholders, all of the profit can go towards this.

I know someone who loves Trump and is very Catholic. This will be fun.

Yuuuuup. I only hope they get taken down in the next election, but its probably a long shot.

He behaves like a Nazi so he's a Nazi. And clearly calling him that is getting under his skin, so it's working. I don't think using a different word will have the same effect. Heck, he might even latch onto neo-feudalist thinking it's cool or something.
