Right but now the car company had a massive incentive to build more efficient vehicles. The tax also isn’t for the consumer necessarily is it?.

What you will pay is nothing compared to companies running factories and shipping between stores.

If you haven’t looked into it, our logistics system is all kinds of fucked up. In some cases shipping parts across the ocean to get assembled and shipped back for more assembling before being shipped back again. All because carbon based energy usage has been dirt cheap for too long.

Its cheapness places externalities on society that we all pay anyways. Carbon taxes is a way to recoup the costs. Its a cost that had we known about these externalities then it would have been built in from the start. It’s multifaceted and encouraged by many as a good solution

You tax what you want less of. Its pretty simple.

What I like is that we all knew that the first financial difficult time this issue would come up and be blamed but we didn’t really future proof for it. We just let it happen every time and hope it gets sorted out

These are people that buy games pre release or line up out front of iPhone sales in the middle of the night.

You should have re-asked your question but say “sudo” before asking

Why has every note app gone into the cloud.

Like its hard to find a note app that doesn’t try to get me to sign up and subscribe to features. I just want to take notes like I’m a PI investigating people at my local mall

The problem was not realizing in the first panel that the third panel is inevitable.

I’m curious which ones?

I’m middle aged and play video games and even do a lot of stuff like HTB as if I’m 20 about to embark on a new career path at any minute

Nice try Frank Bourassa

There’s thousands of kids that get rejected from the education system because they got 97% instead of 98% average or because they got 100 hours of volunteer time instead of 150 hours due to having to work to pay for school.

We could have a bunch of 97% people filling in these medical positions but the degradation of medical services would be so atrocious we would all wish for the time we needed to wait 8 months to see a specialist for that time sensitive medical condition

If I ever need urgent care I could always go to a truck stop and ask around to find the immigrant who spent 30 years practicing as a family physician back in Kenya but now drives truck because we won’t recognize their skills other than to bring them into the country

Immigrants at my work talk shit about Canada all day long lol

I’ve yet to see someone who thinks they will meltdown. Most people I’ve spoke too do not think that any agency can be responsible for a toxic material warehousing for the next how ever many centuries. Its not like this stuff generates any profits just sitting there.

It seems crazy that staying home caused it to double. Would fentanyl increase to cut for profit loss during covid causing higher deaths or something like that rather than just isolation. Because a doubling seems high

I was fine with isolation until everyone told me how bad it was

For me its when I see a driver who is driving unexpectedly. Like speeding in areas with kids. Or driving at high speeds anywhere.

roadways are build for a certain speed so we can anticipate oncoming traffic. Like lights are programmed to allow a block of traffic to go then a break so cars turning can complete the turn between the break. if some asshole fucks it up by hammering the gas they will end up in between the blocks making it harder for all the cars to complete their turn since they now have to wait.

Someone said ‘reading intention’ which is a big part too. I can’t read intention of drivers who are selfishly doing what they want.

it’s the realization that traffic could be better and safer if it wasn’t for certain drivers

That’s how websites keep the lights on. How dare you try to circumvent your ad responsibility

What’s there to participate in if the country can’t secure Democratic elections or if the people cant trust the elections are true or if the courts can’t enforce the rules that keep the machine running or if the people lack any kind if shared knowledge that binds them so they are aware how the system runs.

Participation is important in Democratic countries but its not what makes democracy possible. Democracy is only possible when there are key things in place for it to rest on. Subversion is kicking those legs out from under it. Propaganda targets the civilians to do the kicking.

Isn’t there a Playbook for how to destroy a country and its something like attack the pillars that democracy rests on.

Its something like judicial system, free press, education

If you look at what supports a Democratic system, every single one of them are targeted by either the right or the left. It’s kind of crazy that I saw people who predicted this 15 years ago and now its clear as day.

Medias convincing people to be afraid ever since they realized a really good spell checker could replace them
