No city in North America has ever "removed cops" or even reduced their budget.... I mean I fucking WISH we reduced cops but that's basically a made up fact you just made up.
We never had rotating speed cameras anywhere near where I live. I've seen them in Quebec though.
"how do you expect to get better if you don't go out"
Turns out the real art was chewing up AI slop all along!
"the healthy thing I'm doing that my parents didn't do is that I assume every adult who wants to be part of my kids life is a pedophile"
Yes.... Very healthy attitude!... Good job I guess?
What the fuck did I just watch!!!! That was a horrifying animation from a truly deranged mind. You'd better empty the grease trap or I will haunt this grill!!

I don't think they're tactical losses... But I do think it's going to force their hand into cancelling the election since they can SEE the effect of allowing democracy to survive.
It's either them or democracy and they're never picking anyone but themselves.
He literally CAMPAIGNED on "no more elections", why does anyone think there will be a 2026 election.
He'll illegally decree there will be no election, Congress will do nothing. This has been going on a whole year now, get with the program.
I know you mean well, what you're saying is just the escalation of "if we try to do [good thing] they'll just do [thing they're already going to do]"
There are only two options, Americans go to war against the government, or America goes to war against everyone else. Either way democracy has failed. There will be no 2026 elections. When he illegally cancels the election by executive order and Congress does nothing, like has been happening for the entirety of 2025, who will stop him? No one.
You can rise up now, you can wait for the elections to be cancelled to rise up, or you can never rise up... always postponing your personal red line. No matter what you do, stop impeding other leftists who have chosen to act from acting. We need at least this most basic level of solidarity where we don't stop each other from fighting fascism.
I think all politicians should retire at retirement age and can't raise the retirement age without a referendum. 45 is pretty fucking young. Like that's right around the peak of life experience X mental acuity. You still have 20 years of productive capability.
I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.
It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!
I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.
The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line
Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions
So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?
We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.
So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!
If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.
They really think we're idiots.
It's shocking how we put in laws to prevent the surveillance state, but the laws didn't restrict corporations. So now corporations have become the new surveillance state.
