But how are investors going to get rich if this essential service isn’t privatized?!?!?

I’m trying to relocate closer. Rent is higher near my work so it is easier to save here then buy something closer to work.

It is not people’s fault they are reliant on the infrastructure provided or constrained by their field of work/desired salary. The main hwy into the town is packed one way each rush hour. A tram, local rail, or high frequency BRT could help fix that, but theres just a slow, unreliable low frequency bus or drive. Those are the only options.

Some people also must balance their living situations between their family memebers and their workplaces/salaries. It is easier to provide people better options to get around than it is to expect people not to travel.

I was damn near broke when I moved to my apartment. I had to change cities due to rent prices. I found a central location in the new city but after 8 months of job searching the only hit I got was in a rural area just outside the city. I am very good at this job and the owner respects me so its currently my best employment oppourtunity. I am expected to be on call at times so I cannot rely on the bus service to the rural location. I carpool with another employee when the schedule allows.

Things aren’t as easy to switch as you make it seem. Many of us are forced to drive because that is the world that was built for us. I manage to walk most places I need to in the city and even downtown pedestrians are barely considered in the design of the street. If I must drive somewhere I save those trips for days I’m already commuting.

To stop driving cars, our governments or private companies have to build alternatives like high speed rail, trams, safe bike lanes and walkable places. Many of us still have to get to our jobs reliably.

If you track down the original posts by the victims they have more details about the attack.

They had standard to meet that a vehicle of a certain weight/class must not exceed certain amount of emissions. They made vehicles that didn’t meet that standard, shrugged and put them to market anyway because they knew the profits would outweigh any “punishment” fron the spineless regulatory bodies.

The whoe CAFE standards and the shift in car sizes associated with them should be enough evidence to prove the EPA has failed and become disconnected from its true purposes

Cops failled to collect IDs of the attackers. They had them breifly detained but the men refused to provide ID so the cops just what, shrugged and said guess thats checkmate?

In my experience many people are disconnected from the possible down sides of vaping. Many figure it isn’t ciggarettes so it’s harmless, which isnt exactly true. Nictotine is still very addictive, even if it had no health concerns just getting financially tied to the substance is concerning. We should defintely be doing more to educate youth about these risks, do more to keep nicotine out of minor’s hands, and bring large fines or even jail time for people caught selling to underage users.

Ive used mine before because the rad was too big to fit internally.

A big problem IMO is the generational responsibility of the waste as well. There needs to be decades of planning, monitoring and maintaince to ensure waste sites are safe and secure, this can be done but modern political climates can make it difficult.

As a tradesman, my boss would fire me in a heartbeat if i took those 3 hours. Instead the customer still gets charged the 6 hours qouted price and I’m expected to go do more work or put in some time around the shop with the extra time.

By your example are you expecting your employer to still only pay you 6 hours of work even if the job ended up taling 8?

I’ve done contracting, dump runs and fit an ice sled with a 2 man pop up hut and gear for overnight on the ice in a nissan micra. The low height actually makes it easier compared to a pick up or most SUVs.

They should be getting far more than 4.5 years fot doing borderline slavery and illegally detaining/kidnapping.

You know the system is broken when housing is prioritized and built for the landlords prefences and profits before being built as a functional residence.

I have a friend who is unemployed, collects disability pay, lives with his mom and they both need extensive access to healthcare, medication and mental health services. This guy thinks the conservatives are going to help him and refuses to acknowledge the history of conservatives stripping away social services.

Affordable housing can still be profitable to the land/building owner, It just isn’t as profitable. Under our capitalist system line must go up and profits come before providing enough housing for all.

How the hell does luxury=affordable to build. Affordable housing would be cheaper to build wouldn’t it?

What they meant to say was “we have built luxury housing because it is more profitable”

Flavoured tobacco (and nicotine pens/juice) is more appealing to young people, especially those who aren’t educated on the risks and haven’t developed self control.

How much of that wealth is tied up in ridiculously inflated home values?

That will only work if the teacher accompanies the videos with critical thinking skills including fact checking using multiple sources and asking “who stands to profit from these messages?”
