WHAT. He sold beans for money in his first term, of course he's making money off of it.
I don't think he's smart enough to actually take advantage of this.
This is one of his major MO's making money, maybe he missed the first few times, but he's done it so much now that he's for sure making money on these bets, just like every supporter he's got out there.
Why do you think he walked away from the table because of the DST, because he cares about gig tech? They paid him -- that's why they got seats at his inauguration.
And before you say anything, no he will not learn his lesson.
Disagree, this is a lesson reinforces itself, I bet he continues this way. I'm not saying he's smart, just greedy.
I guess we'll find out in time, but that's sort of my point. Trump's well known to fold (TACO), maybe he would have shown up to the table anyway, or written us a letter!
I liked Jagmeet, and the NDP platform (well what i understood of it), if i wasn't worried that PP would get in they would have gotten my vote. I did feel that he didn't stand a chance of getting in.
I did read Carney's book (values), i found it extremely difficult to read, and said a lot without saying anything. I don't think he would get my vote if not for PP.
I'd like to see a rule that any politician voted in must work in an aid camp in a warzone to be elegable for office. Or maybe spend a year as an average citizen in their country.
I hear you, and i agree. I don't understand how to achieve it though, a tax on net worth, with brackets starting at 100 million? Wouldn't they just move their money over a place that would hide it?
The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary.
What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.
I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading "Carless people". I don't even think that would happen, it's not like these companies can't afford it, they just don't want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!
I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.
You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.
The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn't happen.
I get what your saying, we've all worked in terrible code bases, i've also worked in code bases where this kind of article was enforced. What you wound up with was something that was very wordy.
Almost always use parameterized style tests, always have a name field, I don't use full sentences tho, that seems like too much. Don't believe I've ever seen a test like that either
You should read a summary of "capital in the twentieth century" , a famous book by an economist that asserts mathematically that taxation of the wealthy is the solution for this issue.
"Also tarrifs are a leftist thing"
This kind of talk helps no one, and asserts something that is practically unassertable. Even if we could split the world evenly in two between left and right and at some point the left were the first to propose tarrifs there'd be so little relation to today as to be useless
I think he was way more influential getting people on the side of peace, and treating each other reasonably. People tend to throw everything out if the messenger has faults.
I think most people would agree the bed in was tone deaf, and stupid, and that he had massive faults; we don't have to throw out an essentially very positive and influential message.
We got jack and shit, and jack left town (ref).
