  4. Yeah, the billionaire who inherited $400 is all in it for the little guy, which is why he told billionaires to give him money, because he would cut their taxes. But the woman who grew up in Oakland and the school teacher/football coach/Guardsman are only in it to benefit millionaires.

  6. OK lefties, here's how Kamala's price-fixing backfires: When you tell people: "You have to sell your 'whatevers' for $4.00 each", and suppliers can't make them for less than $5.00, they say: "I'm not gonna do all this work just to pay people $1 to buy my whatevers", and they stop making them. Invariably, as the supply of "whatevers" diminishes, the cost of them is driven up by the law of 'supply and demand' (1. look that up, 2. it's not racist) Kamala can tell people whatever she wants, even with the power of executive order, but she's just trying to reinvent the round peg for the square hole. At the end of the day, if there are only 2M pounds of bacon, and 50M people want a pound of bacon, the bacon will either: be sold to the highest bidders at way more than $5 each or there will be a bacon line and only the first 1.95M people will get bacon (Kamala's friends are guaranteed to get bacon), everyone else will be S-O-L. There's no such thing as 'bacon lines' though, Kamala will have bread lineups if she's left to her own devices. It will just be another case of Kamala and Walz having to learn from their costly mistakes.

  7. it's a very viable strategy as Bonaparte said : "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake" Trump's first mistake being to debate Biden before Biden had the nomination taking Biden out early has backfired, since Trump was going to defeat Biden with ease the second mistake is going off message to call Harris names because that's not landing blows in terms of swing voters anybody who is a swing voter at this juncture, is not really buying that so long as Trump is not landing any blows, there's no need for Harris to react

  16. Corporate balance sheets are .. well.. complicated. Just because they report a profit of $200 Million.. you have to know exactly how that $200 M is composed. Second, its really hard to parse out the price paid at the store and say just what part of that price is the profit of the producer.

  18. thing to remember there tho, is that those are franchises the franchisees are the not actually the rich it's people who have put their life savings on the line, and they are not guaranteed to succeed so if the Government of Canada is going to authorize this program I can't blame the franchisees for doing anything they can to cut costs I would do it too if my whole life savings was on the line and frankly, I like the South Asian employees at Tim Horton's they are super fast and super polite, they do a great job

  19. No it’s not, it’s nearly 1 in 3 Americans, which is why healthcare expenses are the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US. Yeah in charity facilities filled with homeless police and drug addicts And in many states medical charities will set up tents in country fairgrounds and uninsured people line up for days just for a chance to be seen by a doctor it’s like a UN program third world country. No, wealthy “self-insured” individuals who choose not to have insurance are counted separately. And besides that would be statistically insignificant number in a country of nearly 90 million uninsured or underinsured The average American pays more for health insurance than Canadians pay in healthcare taxes. In 2023, the average annual premium for employer-sponsored health insurance in the U.S. was about $7,911 for single coverage and $22,463 for family coverage in addition to out of pocket deductibles and copayments when care is needed. Meanwhile the conservative Fraser Institute estimated that the average Canadian family paid about $11,885 USD in taxes ($2,975 per person assuming family of 4) for public healthcare in 2023, which they stated includes all income taxes, sales taxes, and other indirect taxes that contribute to healthcare funding. Given that FI is a right wing anti-government pro-privatization group that often puts out exaggerated statistics to support its ideology, we can rest assured their numbers are not understated. Ok I’ll just confirm that I know you’re obviously joking when you say that but it’s worth pointing out that in USA your insurance decides what hospital you can go to (if you want to be covered) and your employer decides what insurance you can have and all the hospitals bill excessively. Meanwhile I don’t think Canadian hospitals are gouging public insurance like that firstly because they receive “global funding” for stuff like aspirin and other general supplies and for the things they bill for rates are negotiated and controlled. Same in Canada. The people with the long ER waits are not the people who are dying, they’re people with minor injuries or illnesses like needing stitches or a broken arm set. Still, these times need to be improved. Again the statistics show that for the exact same illnesses and treatments, Canadians have better healthcare outcomes than Americans. A big reason for that is the huge disincentives Americans have to access primary care meaning they miss opportunities for early diagnosis, prevention, and less complicated treatments. Even many good plans have deductibles that don’t kick in until you’re several hundred or several thousand out of pocket. Americans die because having to spend $250-$500 for an annual physical checkup just to be told everything is fine means many Americans don’t even bother getting one until they start to feel so ill that spending that kind of money is worth it. Often their illness is far more advanced by then and more drastic interventions are needed and/or post-treatment recovery is more complicated. And then once your insurance coverage limit is reached you’re discharged whether you’ve fully recovered or not. But not before they’ve found ways to bilk your insurance for everything under the sun that they think they can get paid for So your question has 2 faulty premises: 1) That the person “who can afford healthcare” represents the average American when in fact it doesn’t Only relatively wealthy Americans can afford healthcare. The rest can only afford healthcare as long as they don’t get seriously ill or injured. 2) That excess deaths are occurring Canada when in fact they are occurring in USA

  22. He said Kamala was disqualified from the election for INTERFERENCE because she altered a picture to show a greater crowd size---an allegation that was quickly proven to be a lie. Then he posted AI photographs of Kamala speaking with a USSR flag behind her, thereby disqualifying himself. Fortunately MAGA people don't have the brains to put 2 and 2 together and realize this. 😂

  27. https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2024/03/26/high-food-prices-consolidation/ Some top level stats: "we found that from 2020 to 2024, the cost to feed a family of four grew 2.5 more than the rate of inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits rose five times faster than inflation from 2020 to 2022 — some to record highs. What’s more, a recent report from the Biden administration shows how big companies benefited from worsening the supply chain problems that raised prices during the pandemic. This trend has been enabled by lax antitrust enforcement that has let corporate giants get bigger." The Populist movement has straddled the line between being against "corporate greed" (that term was actually SPOKEN at a speech at the RNC this year) and promotion of free enterprise, reduction in bureaucracy etc. The devil is in the details.

  28. but anyone whom understands what Communism actually is will be driven to become a conservative by that understanding it's like I was raised on a steady diet of Communism from a young age and when I was a boy, I assumed my leftist parents were right about everything I didn't understand that this was actually a pseudo religion which inevitably incites genocidal mass murder my parents put me in a Che Guevara T- shirt, and I just assumed that Che Guevara must be a good guy, like my father not realizing that my father at the time was actually still very young and naive himself

  29. I think people shouldn't vote for her because she has a pretty long, bad record while in office. While her opponent also has his share of faults, he is the better choice between the two by far. Harris is promising to fix problems that have existed for three and a half years...in her administration.

  30. what the quote really means is don't engage the enemy until it is necessary and with the MSM running cover, constantly cheer leading for her, and straight up lying on her behalf she's not taking any hits in the polls, in fact she is surging until she starts to slip in the polls, she's better off just standing pat and letting the MSM do its thing it's not like I'm happy about it but Trump is just not landing any blows on her at the moment, he's not at this point outmanoeuvring the MSM

  35. No Your comparison is way off 1) The Canadian coverage includes all “medically necessary” services for virtually 100% of the population whereas US coverage excludes nearly 30 million who are completely uninsured and and about 60 million more who are considered “underinsured” with very limited coverage 2) Even Americans with health insurance are still massively out of pocket if they have any serious or substantial costs over and above what they pay for insurance. For example the most common type of insurance in USA is 80/20 insurance where the plan covers 80% and the patient covers 20% That may sound reasonable until you realize that a stay in intensive care at a US hospital can easily cost $10,000 PER DAY. Not to mention deductibles, co-pays, exclusions and various limits on any number of treatments So despite paying tens of thousands for COVERAGE you’re also out tens of thousands more for ACTUAL CARE 3) The US system price-gouges for example hospitals famously charge patients up to $20 for aspirin …not for a bottle of aspirin but for ONE aspirin pill It’s no wonder healthcare is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the USA while healthcare related bankruptcy is unheard of in Canada

  39. I'm sure I left out some minor expenses on each side but even just going by your 45% stat shows I was probably pretty close That's a good point, looks like on average many Canadians spend a few thousand dollars a year on supplemental insurance. I still don't see how you're arriving at this. Even if we bump the taxes up to 45% of income and throw in $5000 of private supplemental insurance, it's still $15,000 per year more in the US than Canada for someone of my income level. Americans spend 17% of their GDP on healthcare compared to your 12% (and that's with a 27% higher GDP per capita) This happens in the US too. Keep in mind, even on my modest middle class income I'm paying a huge amount each month and only about half of Americans can afford such an absurd expense. 15 million people have no insurance at all and probably tens of millions have just the most basic catastrophic care insurance--or insurance that still requires thousands of tens of thousands of dollars deductible payment before the insurance will pay for anything. So the number of Americans dying due to having no access to any routine care or preventative care or a realistic way to pay for procedures is very high. My aunt is 60 years old, makes close to minimum wage as a nursing home aid. She's probably below the poverty line, can barely walk due to a lack of cartilage in her knee. She's certainly not in on any waiting list for a knee surgery because she would have no way to pay for such a procedure. 47% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and aren't well insured. Compared to the US, Canada's inconveniences with their underfunded system are small potatoes. And yeah I'm not suggesting that Canada has some great healthcare system. I'm not sure how it even came up--probably because of all the f-ing Canadians here.

  42. what, you mean the state run left wing establishment media in Canada ? by this point the Liberals were back in power, Jean Chretien was the Prime Minister so the Canadian media was performing its traditional role of insulating the Liberals at literally any cost first the Liberals cut the inquiry short, when it started to investigate senior ranks once the NCO's had been convicted for everything, the government stopped the inquiry to protect NDHQ the disbandment of the Airborne Regiment actually came years later, in 1995 once the Canadian media had latched on to the Airborne Regiment story, they dug up more dirt as they went bear in mind that the Army chain of command was not fond of the Airborne Regiment the Army chain of command had been looking for an excuse to get rid of them for literally decades so the Chretien Liberals just went with the flow they declared the Army to be a hotbed of "White Supremacists" Shidane Arone was in essence "Canadian George Floyd" even tho neither Clayton Matchee nor Kyle Brown are white, they are both Indians then the government disbanded the regiment without further ado, to make the story go away

  43. This statement summarizes WHO you are. A hater and likely mass executioner who wishes to destroy people because they are different of no fault of their own. So you wish to destroy LGBTQ community based on your own words and I quoted you above. Who else do you wish to destroy? Muslims? Likely muslims too because in all your posts you viciously attack them. They are not my favorite either but I never generalize them as one violent entity or write provocative statements against them. It is the sound man, not the singer. It is shame that the moderators on this board don't moderate enough and let bigots like you to spread hate and encourage violence. I just summarize it in one sentence, YOU ARE A LOSER. You blame everyone else for your own failure in life. Hitler lost. Rhodesia lost. South Africa lost. You and your kind will lose too to humanity and common sense.
