  1. Found this playlist on Spotify and I've listened to this an abusive amount of times since.
  2. Have teacher been mandated to get vaccinated yet?
  3. My right wing facebook friends are loosing it right now. This is gonna get nasty I bet between the anti-vaxxers and the government.
  4. Anyone here got an exchange in Canada they recommend? I was looking at just dabbling a bit for fun but see Binance won't take CAD so got any other suggestions?
  5. I think its generally assumed that you blame the higher ups because they are the ones that make the calls and policies, theres really nothing joe blow can do to get blamed for stuff like this. I know I would have said the same and just been referring to the government since they made the calls to deny visas originally.
  6. I assume he's talking about the governement as opposed to the average joe blow citizen.
  7. You wou;d think there would be kill switches on all this stuff.....
  8. That was a very bad graphic though, thats from mid december until now when almost no one could get their first or second shot. Atleast if thats the same graphic I saw a few days ago which it looks very similar. I don't think I even had a chance unti April or May to get my first and not until July to get my second. We really need that graph in the past month where 60%+ of the population was over the incubation period of the second shot to really get a picture of whats going on with Delta and the groups that are vaccinated/unvaccinated going to the hospital.
  9. Yea not fun right now when you look at a place, think about putting down an offer and finding out later it went for 100-200k over asking. It seems to be slowly cooling off, not the frantic buying like the spring but still insane. One place we looked at last weekend had 31 showings over 2 days.
  10. Thing is they aren't paying taxes on their wealth anyways, so this in turn wouldn't benefit them whatsoever. All those billionaires have their money tied into company stocks, they aren't selling anything they don't have to and will still pay very little in taxes. Its like a great video I saw recently of Bezos, he's the richest many on the planet but he takes very little salary from the company. All his money for his yachts, his space travels, etc. are all on bank loans because he's paying the bank 2% interest instead of paying much higher taxes if he sold his Amazon shares to fund his life. Banks don't care, they are making money on him and they know if push comes to shove and they need to obtain his money to pay off his debt he'll be good for it (Amazon aint going anywhere). Theres really no way to "tax" him more unless theirs some massive reform of the tax system but I don't see how they could ever force someone to sell shares of their company. Its really a no win situation for the middle class at the end of the day. If theres a way to get more taxes from rich into the tax system thats great, but I still find it a long shot and hard as hell with how things are setup now.
  11. Imagine that after oh so many years of people owning guns and stories like these, they still have to put out statements that say "Yea keep away from curious children you bloody morons"
  12. This was a collapse of epic proportions, amazing considering just a few days ago we were told the Afghans could defend for themselves and they folded like a cheap deck of cards so US either GROSSLY misunderstood the Taliban situation or GROSSLY misunderstood how well prepped the Afghans were. Doesn't matter who was in power, this was bad.
  13. China will fund them for all their resources I bet. Its amazing China still has a seat on the UN........ And the UN wants to be taken seriously........
  14. Don't know if it really matters if the rumours of BC following Quebecs lead and doing a vaccine passport for non-essential services anyways. That just means you would need it regardless, seems like Canucks are already protecting their bottom line, last thing they would want is an "outbreak" where the province comes in and starts banning seats and volume, further pissing off fans and season ticket holders and suddenly the Canucks revenue is greatly slashed.
  15. I am interested to see how Mac comes in this season. I hope he plays like his hairs on fire, if not I think he may just end up being waiver fodder soon enough. He's got the skill and grit we need, just don't see it every night.
  16. This is what I think of every time I know a farmer that says "crap wonder if I need a permit?" Thats a good way to put it though, they bumped the permits to the front of the line as opposed to letting them take forever to get this vaccine to market.
  17. Oh dang I want that tractor! Don't forget to drive it out of town if you have to evacuate! Just kidding, stay safe up there.
  18. I love how she touts herself as PM still eventhough it was only 130 days or whatever length. She acts like she did so much, she basically was a complete and utter flop.
  19. @nuckin_futz I guess I missed out on Moderna stock with their revenues going to grow lol
  20. Yup no other country will ever be able to match their manufacturing abilities no matter how hard we try.
  21. That's what they did with the Sars outbreak in 2013 (I think that's when it was?) they were shut down temp but came right back. Until crap like that, where the facts keep pointing to them creating diseases, get shut down then there's another chance something will come out of it again that will effect livestock or humans. Issue is nobody will piss off China and they will continue pulling this crap until the end of time.
  22. China basically has the world by the balls with all their manufacturing, no ones gonna piss them off because without China, companies would collapse and economies would down right suffer. Why do you think the WHO keeps glossing over China, and trying to almost dust it off as often as possible (haven't followed them lately but I know a few months ago they were still trying to not outright blame china for supressing critical info at the beginning of the pandemic, etc. more of just a small slap on the wrist). I don't believe from what I have read that it came from a lab but probably from those god awful wet markets, is anyone going to go and force China to shut those down to try and prevent this again? I would highly doubt it.
  23. I assume only reason their stock hasn't vanished is locked up shares? Like what a garbage of a company, they could drop to zero for being such frauds.
  24. And this is what you should be paying a 4C... Finally Jim got it!
  25. Lots of seconds, it's getting to the 20 year old age group now. Your never going to get 100% by in from everyone but having BC on pace for 80%+ is pretty solid (80% first so far but I assume all of them will get seconda too)
