The Disparity of CEO's and Workers salaries
herbie replied to Queenmandy85's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
It's the natural order of things. If you don't agree you're a communist subversive and should be shot. -
Let's begin to analyze the suggestion by determining exactly how you can vote twice. How does that even answer the question? Does doubling down and repeating something make it so? Tell you how that can work out. They had an 'election' in Greece in 1947. As so many were illiterate and had never voted before they gave everyone a blue card and a red card. You dropped the Red in the box for the Communists, the blue in to vote for the King. When you left you gave the leftover card to the person at the door. If it was a blue card, you were directed to a line of Army trucks waiting to take you away. but it proved you voted!

Her family were Scots that emigrated here in 1965, One day her Mom visited and decided to cook us burgers and chips for dinner. She mentioned to my 7yr old daughter that never before had she eaten one of "those" hamburgers. My kid looked her square in the eye and said "Gramma what are you? Some kind of alien?"

My Mom made all the disgusting middle class 1960s specials - tuna casserole, weenies & beans, shit on a shingle, feed 6 of us all week on a turkey etc. even those nasty jello salads when throwing a party. *dreaded her "Chinese food" w 5 day old leftover meat, soggy veggies and a can of pineapple tossed in. Hell, used to rag Mom about eating her "phlegumes"... veggies boiled in an aluminum pot until they were the consistency of snot. The 1st wife's Dad did all the cooking when she grew up, her Mom filled the percolator w instant coffee and baked a ham with the cloves poked thru the plastic wrap once. Had to teach my wife how to make hot dogs on our 1st camping trip - take the plastic off FFS! I had to learn... I had to raise 2 teens when the 1st wife left and I was insolvent. Amazing what you can do with a $1.50 jar of Dollarama Ragu if you have a spice rack and some leftover Italian sausage. Or an appy dinner of crackers, veggie w dip, a can of kippers and oysters & cheese. Kids loved that. Then I ended up w an ex camp cookie, fantastic baker, lover of exotic foods, over doer of everything. 2 of us and she cooked for a platoon. I was the budget buddy - no you're making meatballs, you don't need a whole pound of burger meat in the sauce too. Use the cheap cheese on pizza, not the 5 r old Balderson's from the deli... Fortunately the cows they raise here only make $58kg steak or hamburger so it's not a hard choice. $90 frozen turkeys or $20 hams for Xmas.

Scientific Method vs Engineering Method
herbie replied to August1991's topic in Health, Science and Technology
Same was said about solar panels you can now find in the discount section at Crappy Tire and 48 packs of AA lithium batteries at Costco for what those old zinc ones cost for 2 when I was young. Those 9V square batteries that powered you transistor radio almost all day at the beach for about $20 in today money, -
We need a dictionary definition so MAGA people can claim they're not one.

How are they supposed to learn? There's a knob on the stove it either burns things to shit or it's off? And you have to touch disgusting things that grew in dirt or are dead, bloody and just infested with germs! Just DoorDash me some pizza pockets! My daughter before she married a head cook. Hey Dad, let me make the agedashi tofu... 6 months later......

Hypocrisy of liberalism at the time of critical challenge
herbie replied to myata's topic in Moral & Ethical Issues
Actually it wasn't, they simply justified it a necessary. That's why Herman Goering was an evil shit and Bomber Harris and Curtis LeMay were good guy heroes. Maybe the xo called "right" could rejoice if Israel just pulled out and fire-bombed all Gaza instead. -
Oh I wouldn't take the Victoria Cross from a flop-eared ninny like Charles....[/s] Here's one cartoon from a life time career I know the reactionaries in the forum will take offence to, after all those with fascist beliefs don't like exposure. That's why ploughboys don't get to choose who get awards.

Nikki Haley’s War with China
herbie replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I shop at WalMart whenever I can. For products that other stores do not and will not carry. For products other Cdn. grocery chains gouge you as much as they can for - like Ocean Spray juices that the major stores asll $5-$6 for @ $2.50-$3.50, For gluten free products that aren't $33 a dozen for hot dog buns. And their house brand pet food thats significantly cheaper than the brand name, even though it's exactly the same thing in the same box with a slightly different label of exactly thew same shape. I'd be stupid not to buy there. Stupid enuff to believe only WalMart sells stuff from China. Go ahead, blame China for what your own govt allowed. Toss everything made in China and we'll never hear your whining on the Internet again. -

FPTP is extreme danger in uncertain and volatile times
herbie replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Oh yes let's blame conspiracies of the mysterious elites..(IOW anyone who graduated High School) Vote for a billionaire to save you from them... -
So why the popularity of promoting the most expensive, slowest to implement and lowest job creating solution as the alternative energy solution? When waste solutions and if thorium even works remain in question? Hell, the 'sun doesn't always shine' and 'turbines kill whales that jump out of the water' and dams kill fish, the ladders are too expensive. drilling deep holes can only be used to extract oil, and every other petty bullshit excuse for every already here alternative is tossed about like they're impossible.

When has it been the best course of action? Ask any manager in a large customer service organization. Easy to meet requirements. Hire all those ESL and 'diverse' personal into the lowest paid front line positions. Phone ins will vent their frustrations over language issues and will be exhausted and placated when and if they ever get passed on to you. Then you can berate the employee for "referring too many calls to management instead of dealing with it like they're paid to do over the last year, fire them and hire a new 'minority' at the starting wage. Walk ins will see a person of colour, or of questionable sexuality, or 'dressed funny' and be triggered to vent their rage at that instead of the defective P.O.S. or fraudulent service you sold them. The stress and corporate abuse or indifference will stop almost all of them from being promoted to the Office and you getting to know any.

herbie replied to myata's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Wrong! It's the simple minded that finds anything else 'just too complicated' to figure out. And the others that prefer my way or the highway over consensus and compromise. -
Nikki Haley’s War with China
herbie replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
And if you think I'm going to believe you are actually that stupid to actually believe that and not just doing your usual sheer contrariness to troll even more ignorant responses from the totally brain dead, you're fooling yourself. As for trade wars with China, maybe she should propose a "Chicken Tax" on Chinese EVs like the one that's kept reasonable pickups trucks out of American hands for 50 years and hasn't saved the Big 3 from their own incompetence. -

You mean the woman that forgot the Civil War was about slavery? Any idea if the GOP can run candidates that aren't crooks, liars or total fools these days? -
Ban Pro-Palestinian Demonstrations
herbie replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
No Palestine isn't a country, let alone a democratic one. Perhaps a national identity at best, with no coherent structure of government. But if I was being bombed and lived 75 years of abject misery, I'd probably risk a Hamas bullet over an IDF bomb to make some kind of change. I mean, doing nothing and begging the rest of the world to fix things for you hasn't been very effective. -
Coca-Cola reinvented the meaning of Christmas around 1932. All Hail Santa the God of Consumerism.

herbie replied to NAME REMOVED's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Well it's kind of like wasting pity on people who insist on supporting political parties here too that do not have their best interests at heart. No one is entirely helpless.
