1st: Unions brought us weekends...

Shhh, don’t tell Elon, but transportation after the apocalypse will be done on bicycles... They’ll survive, require zero fuel, minimal maintenance and are more efficient than just about anything.

I wouldn’t use Italy as a barometer of how we’re doing re: fossil fuel reduction. They’re led by fascists so of course they’re into keeping the status quo for businesses (if fascism = capitalist dictatorship, as some have suggested).

Yup, keyword - criticizing. It’s all talk, no action.

Insert “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!” pic here.

THIS.

neoliberalism - philosophy (google it, I can’t possibly do it justice here)

Here in the great white north, we elected the Conservative government in the 90's who sold off Highway 407 for 99 years despite taxpayers paying to build it.

Did we learn our lesson? No. We re-elected them in 2018 and they’ve promptly sold off prime waterfront property again for you guessed it - 99 years, and we’re…

Yup, waaaayyy too much money. I’d love one, even if it’s a lot more vehicle than I need. I feel like electric pickups will be great when they reach price-parity with their gas counterparts, but until then they’re rich people toys.

Who doesn’t believe workers should make as much as they can? Are you the CEO of a company? Because the only* people who think like that are capitalists because they benefit from it.

yes! remember stripper models? one wing mirror, no rear wiper, manual steering, windows & locks, 4 speed manuals and the tape deck that didn’t have rewind! good times.

My Rav4 has cruise as standard, and Toyota did that on all models a few years back so I feel like it should be on everything.

Can we just have a fairly bare-bones model please? Apple carplay, radar cruise and cloth seats for me please. I don’t even want power seats!

Same, hadn’t considered how much easier it is to shove around the battery mower. And much quieter - I can listen to podcasts while I mow.

Excellent example of a system problem being blamed on individuals.

It means, Cam, that if you open a history book, you’ll see it wasn’t long ago that companies hired police and goon squads to violently attack striking workers in order to break strikes. Google “Strikebreaking history in the United States”

We’re not that far removed from companies using cops to bust up unions, I wouldn’t put anything past them today.

Me too, surprised that is. But in a good way. I find it refreshing that we’re not sugar coating things anymore.

Of course it’s not as simple, I’m sure the paper from Western goes into those details. You’re chasing perfection when we need progress.

capitalists gotta capitalize.
