You can't let it go, can you?
OK, I'm going to let you have the last word. I think you'd enjoy that.
I hope it's good!
In 3... 2... 1... Go!

You've spent a lot of time arguing the toss for some who doesn't care!

You over-egged the pudding.
Nothing is more likely to make a joke fall flat on it's face than overdoing it.
Hope that helps!

The definition of 'satire' was never in question.
It's the definition of 'subtle' that is being abused.
Thanks for trying to play along, though.

You think you were being subtle?

Yes, I assume he could indeed remove the placeholder.
However, given the volume of bizarre and embarrassing things he tweets, I can't imagine he'd be particularly bothered by that one.
No, I think this is just like the JD Vance "sofa" quote that almost every online progressive mistook as genuine.

Deletion normally leaves a placeholder.
Did you see this post with your own eyes or are you just uncritically re0posting someone else's image?

Nope. You've been gulled.

There's plenty of fat to trim in Canadian universities.

"Monetary policy" is not the same as bank regulation.
Try again?

Funny that, seeing as we were better off under Harper
comment in response to

Also, just FYI, the bank of Canada does not regulate banks and mortgage lending directly.
If you want to wave the flag over Canada's handling of the grat financial crisis, you should be looking to parliament and the Harper ministry.

Yes. I'm aware of that. And they recovered quickly and are now thriving while we in Canada are becoming poorer.

Did Canada really come out of the financial crisis better than the US?
I mean, they have more jobs in the US, they're better paid and housing is more affordable, for the most part.
Seems like the Americans are doing better than us.

Newspapers aren't required to do "what's good for Canada", whatever that means.
They're there to report the news, as they see fit. They're not state propaganda organs.
And that's true regardless of the nationality of their owners.

Canada is about to install an unelected technocrat as Prime Minister.
You're in no position to lecture the USA about democracy.

Democracy is alive and well. Trump won by a convincing margin.
"Democracy" isn't limited to Democratic Party victories, Matt!

Elon's "actual daughter" is actually male; a mentally ill young man, merely presenting as a young woman.
The gas-lighting years are over and there's nothing to be gained by pretending any more.

What do you think he's going to do with your social security number, for fuck's sake?
Pay you tax bill?
Literally hundreds of people will have seen your number. It's not a big deal.

Fuck 'em.
Let them learn how to cut costs, find efficiencies and manage with a smaller headcount, like any other organization.

I do quite like your avatar, however, so perhaps you were just having an off day with the melon "joke"

Pre-Emancipation Democrats:
"But who will pick our cotton?"
2025 Democrats:
"But who will pick our fruit?"
You never managed to shake off that plantation-owner mentality, eh?

Arabs must now pay for their own condoms, therefore Trump is a monster?
Hmm. I don't think idea's fully baked, yet.

Which rules are being broken, Matt?
AFAIK, Facebook complies with all the laws of Canada to which it is subject.

The rest of the civilized world is substantially poorer than Americans.
I guess you haven't travelled much.

But would you mind paying more than necessary?
Would you mind paying for counterproductive or even destructive programs?
Would you mind if the tax burden was so onerous that it reduced employment and living standards?
There's more nuance to this than "MOAR money better!"

The largest ever exercise in popular democracy is more persuasive than some small scale internet poll (2225 respondents!).

The correct formulation is "do we need to impose so much taxation?" not "how can we spend all these tax dollars?"
comment in response to

Do those efforts actually work?
Do they deliver good value for money?
Because, we should stop funding them if they don't and look for more effective alternatives.

I'm sure they've thought of that, David, and will follow up with appropriate paperwork to sign.

It isn't possible for scientific data that was openly published, made available for public consumption, to be stolen.
For copyrighted works like visual arts, music or writing, there's a strong argument for theft (also, notoriously, by academic researchers, btw).
Scientific facts? No copyright.

Academic travel ought to be curtailed.
It's bad for the environment and entirely unnecessary now that modern technology provides viable alternatives.

But more people died under Biden, right?
You recognize that figure, surely?

Trump, during 2020 when there were PPE shortages and information was scarce:
384,536 covid deaths
Biden, during 2021, when we knew more about the disease, how it spread and who was the most vulnerable; mask mandates everywhere:
462,192 deaths deaths

The world of academic science needs serious reform.
Perhaps we should just burn it all down and start again.

2021 was not three times as log a period as 2020, was it?

Perhaps.
But fewer deaths than Biden, right?

That's probably just your reflection glinting off your phone screen.

Yes, from incompetence.
incompetence and the dementia that finally got him taken off last year's ballot.
