You'd never know it until now, but calling a group of people racist is hate speech in Canada I look forward to seeing this enforced fairly and consistently.
Lockdown amnesia-jumping down the memory holeBased on his observations that many people have completely forgotten some of the most outrageous violations of individual rights and freedoms perpetrated by governments during the Covid lockdowns – including the lockdowns themselves
Claws Schwab is stepping down from the World Economic Forum. I personally nominate @sun@shitposter.world to be the new supervillain of the decade. I predict the Shitpost Economic Forum will work to make life funny for all but no less chaotic.
@djsumdog@djsumdog.com No disagreement there, but in such a world the whole discussion would be irrelevant. What people actually want is real opportunities, reasonable cost of living, and decent working conditions, things which all parties in pretty much every country I'm aware of catastrophically fail at.
@caekislove@gleasonator.com I'm not in favor of UBI generally, but this is a misunderstanding of what happened during Covid. Yes, "stimmy checks" were handed out, but there was a lot of other insane (& criminal) financial engineering going on. Using policies to shut down small businesses to give large players a de-facto monopoly has also enabled a lot the problems.
I understand the point you're making but it's a pet peeve of mine when people blame inflation entirely on low-income recipients when there was a lot of fraud and outright financialized looting going on.
I do agree with your primary point though, I would just suggest pointing to "government taking direct control of the economy" rather than the mere handouts which were only a bribe to enable much worse pillaging.
