@hankgreen.bsky.social I have a crazy idea. What if the point of the grocery store was to make sure that everyone was eating 3 healthy meals a day. You have on-site dietitians, budgeters, meal prep, everything. Chewy Decimals System Librarians. And you make it a non-profit. And it’s the food bank.

I have a new life goal. I need Jonathan Torrens and as many ex-Street Cents hosts as possible to do a segment where they tell financially literal Canadian preteens that capitalism is fit… for the pit @revpartycanada.bsky.social

The mere suggestion that the United States could order its cloud firms to shut off foreign clients the Trump administration is feuding with is yet another reason to accelerate the creation of sovereign public cloud facilities. Governments can’t give more contracts to Amazon, Microsoft, or Google.

I got 152 votes! That’s pretty cool. People lit up the when I said I wanted to tax billionaires. And they nodded along when I said that everyone deserved affordable food, clean water, and a place to live. And we obviously need electoral reform. There’s a lot of votes yesterday that don’t count.

capitalism, and specifically the pressure to maximize economic activity regardless of the social cost, is the biggest impediment to technology that actually serves the needs of the public

I’m not sure why 61% of people surveyed think we should take western separatism seriously. It’s a completely infeasible idea. There are no successful landlocked countries. You think it’s hard getting oil to tide water now? Try doing it through a hostile foreign country.

Their search box is really interesting, it gives me autocomplete suggestions without the big drop-down list or scroll wheel. They’re using an input with a datalist instead of a select element. MDN says there’s some accessibility concerns with datalist but I like how it presents the options on mobile

I can’t believe that Press Progress doesn’t have me as a “notable candidate” in their new Story Map tool. I mean, sure I’m an independent running with a party no one has ever heard of and I have no chance of winning, but it still stings. candidatetracker.pressprogress.ca

Hey Canada! Advanced Polls are now OPEN! Friday to Monday you can vote from 9am to 9pm - go to elections.ca to find out where and how. After all, the Easter Bunny might not be real, but threats to our democracy are! (I asked Carney to make this his slogan and he refused for some reason) 🐣🍁

There are so many ways to get a more representative government. Just being able to rank candidates or even being able to mark an X for all the candidates you think are acceptable creates better outcomes. Electoral reform is one of the top priorities for the Revolution Party www.revolutionparty.ca

A German experiment has found that people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments.

A universal basic income could enable people to work at their own pace and produce higher quality work. Rather than needing to sacrifice quality due to the time-constrained, distraction-inducing, stress-fuelled, artifcial emergency created by owners who want as much out of you as posssible.

economics textbooks talk about "externalities" as if they're inconsequential. but externalities are making our planet unlivable. climate change isn't a market failure... it's a natural consequence of growth-based capitalism.

We have companies like Netflix worth five times the GDP of Rhode Island, and the way this country capitalizes on that locally is with a glorified office park next to a wide street and a highway, with no public transit. Truly, our land use is madness.

The Liberal and NDP housing plans are focusing on building new homes, but that will take a while to impact affordability. @ricardotranjan.bsky.social is arguing that we can do more federally to protect tenants; rent control, freezes, eviction moratoriums. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Public ownership of public wealth. Public control of public services. I’d much rather have an elected government in control of my health care and water and food safety than any for-profit corporation.

We have concluded our investigation and have found no wrongdoing, but we will be implementing a number of reforms to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future. The full report will not be released to the public to ensure the privacy of those involved.
