I almost did myself, but then I looked up the term,and I realized that Linux is exactly that. For me, it’s because I thought I knew what the term meant. I thought that it advocated for state owned software, because communism is all about state controlled property.

So, I was wrong.

This was a good read. Very interesting! I highly recommend it. It gives a compelling account of the conditions Russian soldiers are facing.

Misogyny becomes so normalized and institutionalized in a culture that even women sometimes do things and vote against their own best interests. It wouldn’t surprise me if there were a surprisingly high number of women who voted no.

Case in point, how many Christian conservative women vote against a women’s right to chose whether to carry a child to full term?

I think that the government isn’t moving aggressively on this file because if they did, there would be a massive correction and many landlords would go bankrupt. It would be political suicide.

I think what they are hoping for is that the correction will happen organically and gradually so that they are not blamed for the fallout and so that the impact is diminished. The problem is, I don’t think that people can hold out and regardless, there will be some pain for all groups. The damage is already done, and fixing this will be painful.

I’m a federal public servant, and I can tell you that in the 28 years I’ve been in government, this kind of leadership is very common. There’s no accountability because there’s nothing that really can be done in the current system. There would have to be a serious overhaul in how government manages poor performance, particularly when it comes to executives.

The Canadian tax payer is the bag holder here.

Such a great actress!

How about ignitable instead.

The world is REALLY sick of the USA’s bullshit.

I think the real danger is Trump winning… or getting so close that the election is a toss-up… or very close to that. I worry that the results will be thrown into question and that will tear America apart.

I agree. But if we’re being completely honest, Pollievre is a populist. He’d sell his soul to the devil to be PM.

It stands for Real Simple Syndicate. It’s just an XML file that allows people of other websites to propagate indo provided by another.

When they start to tell us there’s no problem, there’s a problem. The US dollar is in decline as the world currency. Too much debt by the US is making other countries nervous to hold too much of their dollars.

People… it clearly says that it’s a Beta. Give it time!

I’m glad to see that there are alternatives emerging outside of corporate hands.

The important thing is that she stuck to her principles. :/

A nuclear attack would surely bring in NATO. I can’t see them getting away with that without some kind of severe retaliation.

Obvious statement award.

Agreed! …and you made a smart observation about prices.

I have good reason to believe that the US government has abused their economic homogeny and taken on way too much debt to the point where other countries are doubtful that they will ever be able to honour that debt. These sovereign nations see the writing on the wall and China smells blood. I believe that the US dollar will collapse altogether and everyone else dollar along with it. At this point, China will come in and offer an alternative that is tied to gold, just like the days of old. Then China will take over this homogeny.

I really hope the western elites have a plan otherwise this is going to be some changing times.

What happens is that you become a stateless person, just like the Palestinians once where. I can’t speak for Russian law.
