Strictly speaking of productivity without justifying Trump’s plan in any way - labor shortage increases productivity. Cheap labor decreases productivity. Expensive labor forces capitalists to invest in new equipment and training to be able to produce the same output with fewer labor hours. Simple example - fastening the same number of bolts using manual screwdrivers in more hands vs electric screwdrivers in fewer hands.

Outside of that, removing a significant portion of the population at any one time would be significantly disruptive in many regards.

He’s not the I in CHWTIA for no reason.

Why though?

Perhaps the executive class is paying Trudeau, or is promising post-political private sector positions.

I think these folks should do what the CUPE workers did in Ontario in the face of back-to-work legislation in 2023 - ignore it and go on strike. Perhaps they’re waiting for the lawsuit to resolve whether the gov’t has the power to do what it does first. If they keep complying with the gov’t actions long term, the unions will lose more of their power.

“I just want you to think about what the alternative was,” said Abbas, referring to the current administration’s handling of Israel’s war in Gaza and its invasion of Lebanon. He added, “What did you expect from myself or many members of the community to do?”

I see Abbas is still in the denial stage.

What I took from this post is that every living room / home theater setup needs a server rack instead of a HiFi rack. Dudnt matter what you thrown in it, it looks badass.

I’ve heard it flies when it comes to cross shipping China-Mexico-US or China-Canada-US. I’m not on the Trump train that thinks US is the victim of the world, I’m thinking about this from the perspective of whether it’s hard or easy to circumvent the current and incoming tariffs.

I wonder how these moves to Singapore affect the actual structure of these companies. Can they brand PRC-made products as Made in Singapore? I know the article said they’re looking into Indonesian production but I’m curious whether the actual company ownership changes or whether it remains Hong Kong/PRC.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I’m just thinking from perspective of type of offence. In Canada you can park in the middle of the road and that’s a non-criminal offence. You’re getting a fine if someone is bothered to write you up. Purposefully keying a vehicle on the other hand is vandalism, which is a criminal offence. If you get caught, you’d get a record and potentially worse than a fine. It’s a different level of punishment.

Imagine I’m an idiot, do you have a link or description for where to find those? I looked for them some time ago and found nothing. 🥹

Where do you get installation media for Windows LTSC?

I suppose keying them is a criminal offence?

Today they’re smashing it at the rate of installation per year.

I never implied anything about the US.

So not trolling, alright. Sounds to me like you consider them competent in what they did well while not subtracting what they didn’t. Let me contrast the Russian government with something that to me looks much more competent - the Chinese government.
