We’re going to see some real right-leaning neo-liberal policies now…

The wealth gap is only going to increase with this current government and their policies. It all points to something really simple - assets are going up in value, while the dollar purchasing power is going down. Anyone without a good amount of assets are going to get squashed over time. This is by design since the introduction of a central banking system with a target of 2% inflation.

The amount of people that lack basic financial literary in Canada is abhorrent - and I can see why those in power want to keep it that way. If financial literacy was taught in high school in grades 11-12, I think things would be a lot different on how people view government policies and media propaganda.

But hey, let’s back off on these carbon taxes and fuel excise taxes now - I’m sure the common person is going to benefit soooo much! /s. Meanwhile look at the massive fleets of cars/trucks/vans that these businesses have - they just straight up save 5% for the next 5 months. But oh wait, I’m sure big oil and gas is going to gobble up those savings real fast and quote “uncertainty”… It’s all kind of pathetic on every level of government. We know that collective bargaining allows us to gain better prices in the long run, yet we don’t “bulk” buy as a country as a whole. Really stupid.

There better be something about regulating toxic social media platforms cough cough

This conversation chain is hilarious. The guy in the video does a great job, but you don’t want to watch 90 minutes - then watch the first 30 minutes at the very least without skimming. Okay, but then I see you go do long replies - how long did all of that take you in total? an hour? 90 minutes? for what? But it appears that you prefer it presented as a Coles notes version so maybe you learn differently.

To put it in simpler terms for those that still haven’t gotten it, if you were min-maxing for the long game, which one would ultimately come out on top? You must consider the cost of not only capital, but also environmental impacts and how this will affect the general economy as as a whole (agriculture for example rely on stable weather patterns). I am sure the long view is to go for the one that is long term sustainable with minimal drawbacks.

The only common ground that we can agree on is that the best we can do right now is to have a hybridized system. But we need to start transitioning where possible - and fast. The solar tech mentioned in the video has vastly improved since its inception. This isn’t going to happen overnight, nor in 5 years or 10 years. This is an ongoing project for humanity as a whole. Producing usable and store-able energy without killing ourselves in the long term is one of the biggest hurdles we have to face as humans.

Clearly this sub haven’t seen this video from Technology Connections. It breaks it all down for you step by step why the statement is true.
