I was fascinated to read the thread about the US economy, and how the perceptions of this can effect Biden’s chances of re-election.
It was particularly interesting to read about how the high price of milk in Alberta enters into this discussion. Did I say interesting? I meant really, really stupid. Like low brain activity stupid. How anyone would think this is vaguely relevant to the discussion I will leave as an exercise to the readers.
There’s a whole lot of other stupid assertions in that thread, but this one sets the bar pretty low.
I think Sam sometimes forgets he’s in Canada and blames random things in his country on Biden.
How much hate do you need to have in your heart to blame shit in your own country on a different country’s leader?!
(Unless they’re literally invading you like Putin.)
To be fair, a lot of us forget he’s in Canada.
That’s also Biden’s fault. If we had a good strong leader…
Or, again like Putin, pushing a wannabe dictator into office in your ocuntry.
I bet I live closer to Canada than he does.
Even more so given that he is fully aware of the artificially high milk prices in Canada:
That was over five years ago. The laws of economics change whenever a new party takes the White House.
Forget. Yeah, yeah. That’s the word.
I’ve always known him as a programmer of some sort. But I just learned he was also a director of a day care. What else has this “Canadian” done? Quite the Renaissance Man.
Why don’t you look up my comments here? I have mentioned it before on this board.
And if serving on the board of a daycare and chairing it for a couple of years while my kid was there makes me some kind of Renaissance man, well… woo hoo! Back off, peasants.
Or, you know, it’s a fairly normal thing for a suburban parent to do.
Why the scare quotes around “Canadian”? You think I am lying about the country I live in? Or maybe that Canada isn’t a real country? You lost me on that one.
And a good thing to do… hope you got a discount of some sort. Or your kid got an extra juice box.
Nope. It’s called being a good citizen, and also making sure that the daycare your kid is in is run properly. Not even an honorarium that I recall. Maybe dollar for legal purposes or simething.
Wooooo! I claim the Renaissance man title too! I was treasurer of our daycare when my son was 3 Maybe it’s that Canadian socialism thing…
One of my professors called me that last semester. Nothing to do with daycare though.
Maybe he thought your face looked like a painting.
Oh thank you so much for that.
Literal tears.
Or that you’d look spiffy in a feathered hat.
I don’t know the reason for the scare quotes, but they do have a certain appropriateness. With all respect, given your valuable posts in non-political areas, but also given your insane political views, I’m absolutely certain you voted for and maybe even campaigned for the current Alberta premier. Did she not recently declare that her government would NOT abide by Canadian laws and court decisions that they didn’t like? In fact, didn’t she (or at least, her imbecilic far-right party) once float the idea of seceding from Canada altogether? And – my particular current raging-hot button – isn’t this total fucking nutcase threatening to demolish the Canada Pension Plan on which I rely, by pulling Alberta out of it and demanding 50% of its total assets?
