    The key is that a lot of the bailout has to be to workers keeping them able to pay their bills. Which is why I love that the government is going to help cover wages and pay for things like EI. You want a strong economy the way to get it is a robust middle class with lots of spending power. Economic strength isn't a top down thing, it's bottom up. When the lowest class and the middle class can spend you will see a strong economy.

    Now you sound like a boomer. It's a lot harder to get ahead these days when the value of homes doesn't just skyrocket. Things are more expensive, the world is much more disposable than it used to be, wages don't keep up with inflation. Some of us appreciate the value of money, but it's bloody tough out there.

    A lot of work and planning goes into things that big though, I understand waiting until as late as possible to cancel.

    it would be the one that wants nothing to do with her family.
  5. Says the guy who is borderline obsessed with those movies... jokes on you as it's essentially the same thing, just a different form of media. Books are no more or less nerdy tha movies. Time to face facts, you seem like a nice fellow but you're clearly a nerd.
  6. I heard he owns a Feed and Seed shop. Bought it from Chuck.

    Jason Kenney being an *******, nothing new here. Same as he ever was. Just gotta ride out the next several years and hope people have smartened the **** up next election.

    I did my absolute best to try and tell people here that Kenney was going to be like this but to no avail. They all thought that conservatives had a magic oil price button to push.

    absolutely, if someone I had supported in the past acted like a dink I'd vote for someone else no hesitation. Elected officials are only accountable when voters hold them accountable. Voting for someone no matter what simply enables abuses of power to happen.

    Yeah but they can't afford that because they're spending all their money protecting these countries! Slackers should have to spend on their own militaries! Rabble rabble rabble!

    That seems the pessimistic view to me. Flattening should show up sooner than a couple months.

    Add in that Canada is going to start paying 75% of salary for small and medium businesses too. Really impressed by the way they are stepping up and doing the right thing.

    Poor Trumpy. So desperately wants praise for solving this thing yet history will write about his ineptitude exacerbating the situation and it being a complete disaster. Being a good leader isn't that hard, you simply listen to the smart people and let them make you look good. Trump though doesn't like not being the smartest guy in the room, which given how low a bar that is makes the entire thing a gong show. Sad. Even sadder that so many people bought into the crap.

    There were jerks before and there will be jerks after.

    OK Boomer sorry I don't really mean that, it was just too easy to pass up.
  18. Westworld season 1 = great, season 2 = meh
  19. And that scene only exists because Harrison Ford was sick during filming that day and didn't really have the energy for the big fight scene so this was the solution. Happy little accident that worked out better in the long run As for Picard, I've enjoyed it, but it's far from perfect. The writing isn't phenomenal to be honest. Kind of holds things back. I also feel like they sort of gloss over too much of what happened in Deep Space Nine. Surely you would think that a major war like that would have lasting repercussions, yet it never comes up and it takes place as if that series never happened at all.

    Joke's on us anyway, our generation will never be able to retire.

    When the market is down it's a great time to invest. Too bad that most working folks don't have the money to do that
  22. 17to85 replied to JCon's topic in General Discussion
    That is the downside of the internet. People can always find something to support their viewpoint. There's no standards on what can get posted. It's why a guy like Trump can flat out lie and people will still buy it. So much misinformation out there and sadly the bulk of the population is just not equipped to understand how to separate good information from crap.

    PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!!! Seriously if they didn't want the president profiting from the office they would have put some sort of emoluments clause in place to avoid this from happening. So unfair.

    beat her with a sack of door knobs

    I have said for a long time that the USA is as backwards as any 3rd world country, brainwashed by religious fanatics in power. They just have better technology. If the red states weren't propped up by the few blue states they would be even worse shitholes.
