Ask yourself... If Putin was President of America and wanted to destroy 200 years of progress, who would he put in charge of the various departments... And then this all makes sense.

Two things:

  1. I've never backed my data up to iCloud. It's an irresistible trove of extremely private user data, and I always knew someone would come for it eventually.

  2. If you REALLY want to deter the government, tell them to impliment back-doored encryption themselves for their own data. All the reasons they can't (or won't) do it are all the same reasons why we won't do it.

Not only are two of my friends parents not going to Florida on vacation, they're selling their condos down there, because they can't keep up with the payments due to the exchange rate... Which has a side effect of crashing the real estate market... Because nobody wants a place in hurricane alley where the home insurance is $1600+USD/month, in addition to condo fees and mortgage payments.

I do my best to check as I'm putting things into my cart, but also double-check at the checkout. I caught a few things that had 'Canada' on the front of the box ("#1 brand in Canada!") that was actually made in the USA. I put it aside at the checkout. Putting it aside at the checkout and demonstrating to others that you won't buy American is encouragement for others to do the same.

Yeah, that's totally going to turn out to be just great for you and everyone you know.

One of the two options could be petitioned and protested against to effect change. The other tear-gassed peaceful protesters (and clergy) in front of a church that he'd never set foot in, for a photo op where he held the bible backwards and upside down.

Good fucking luck, because you're going to need it.

Big picture: Because the cost of living (inflation is just one component) has been increasing for 40 years, with very little increase in compensation or benefits.

Small picture: Canada Post wants to exploit delivery/logistics workers the way Amazon does, and that's a crock of shit.
