There are solutions for the far arctic that aren’t high density mesh networks polluting low earth orbit.

We do not need a constellation. We do not need more space junk.

We need fibre everywhere.

I’ve had to get a criminal background check for most jobs I’ve ever had, a check that my employer gets to see before they decicde to hire me.

Only seems fair that people running for office have something similar.

That’s the point. Opposition bills in the US are often put forth to force members of the majority party to publicly vote against it, so that there is public record of their position on things.

It’s an easy system to game, too, since it’s trivially easy to include a poisoned pill in the bill that will push the members to reject it.

Anyone in the system is a servant of the billionaires, and that is most of us. The masters tools and all that. I don’t know about you, but I’m not living a life of subsistence farming in some forgotten plot of land with no meaningful interaction with the outside world.

But that doesn’t mean servants can’t or won’t look out for other servants.

Hasn’t Trump already said this? This isn’t the press sec saying anything Orange Mussolini hasn’t already been explicit about. It’s one of their talking points.

Canada: Has a supply management system for dairy, is careful not to overproduce, exports next to nothing.

USA: Subsidises dairy overproduction, can’t sell close to what it makes, and desperately wants to dump its product on foreign markets.

Who is this supposed to hurt?

The thing is, should people have the right for their voice to be louder than others, and to participate with more force, just because they have more money?

Really tempted to say things that will get me put on various lists now.

I long for the day when the American empire is forgotten by the history books.

“Canadians didn’t travel back in time to prevent their past selves from going to Florida” is… an interesting boast, to say the least.

It’s mostly each province having different regulations, standards, definitions, or licensing bodies around things that are provincially governed.

Most of it is businesses not being willing to jump through thr hoops in all provinces, or those hoops making the end product overly expensive if sold in a national format.

The thing is, they don’t get the job done. And one of their jobs is to win over the hearts and minds of the electorate, and they can’t even make small inroads on that when people are frustrated and ready for change.

The party has presented no clear vision for voters to latch on to, and I say this as someone who volunteers for them.
