2·1 个月前wow, almost exactly the scene from Zoolander
techniques involving immunosuppression are not breakthroughs. Immunosuppression alone is enough to reverse type 1 diabetes, it’s an auto-immune disease.
But obliterating the immune system has more risks consequences than insulin treatment, so it’s never done in practice…

13·2 个月前I think some of them might be improvements, but moving from one commercial online service to another commercial online service isn’t a big improvement. The best way to protect your privacy is to not spray your private information at commercial providers who can turn evil at any time.
11·2 个月前I wonder who they stole that idea from
love it, I will sign it if it becomes an official parliamentary petition instead of a thing on a non-Canadian website. That does happen from time to time.
“we will never lose again”
we don’t want any of these screwworms, aka “US fentanyl”, coming across the Canadian border. We demand a Screwworm Czar.
it will be a public funded, money-losing pipeline that subsidizes the profits of the foreign companies that extract 70% of Alberta oil.
Just like TMX.
5·1 年前people can apply and receive pardons after a while, which seals their official records.
A problem mentioned here is that employers are using unofficial private records and using them despite the pardons. Private sector hiring practices need lots of reforms, from fake postings, to compensation transparency to data & records.
1·1 年前they should’ve gone to The Jolly Taxpayer for a jollyness check
there’s a big strategic hole in this article.
The federal govt. spends first, taxes later. So spending isn’t constrained by taxes collected.
The debt/deficit argument is ONLY used against social spending. When it comes to pro-capital spending, the argument vanishes. $40B for pipelines? $150B in military spending? $80B in annual subsidies to give big investors risk-free bonds to buy? These are also all deficit spending.
Progessives should avoid reinforcing the debt/deficit spending myth, since it’s only used against progressive spending.
Haven’t been back since the coop was deliberately bankrupted. No plans to.
Is there more context for this?
It didn’t cost “us” anything. Citizens aren’t respsible for the Fed govt’s spending, deficit, or debt. Private individuals and companies don’t pay it. Taxes never need to be raised to run surpluses to “pay off the debt”.
The money spent on elections or anything else is received by private individuals and firms, and they go on to spend it on other things. Some of it is returned in taxes.
If the govt were to run austere spending and high taxes, producing enough surpluses to pay off the debt…how much money would remain in private hands? ZERO!
Something to keep in mind any time someone complains about how expensive elections or other useful govt spending is.
I don’t love it…
