These are interesting to me, I never got a chance to experience this stuff myself. I have only 1 ex and it was from a relatively short relationship in high school, I got married to the second girl I ever dated and we're still married decades later.
That first girl did cheat on me, so that sucked, but we never spoke again and I have no idea where she even is at this point.
but not the fork...
Not sure which part you're asking for sources on but:
Eby planning to amend the law: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/eby-dripa-gitxaala-ruling-9.7005087
Original law passage in 2019, with unanimous consent from all MLAs https://www.leg.bc.ca/learn/discover-your-legislature/2019-undrip-legislation-enacted#%3A%7E%3Atext=Visit-%2CMobile+Menu%2Cfuture)%20are%20consistent%20with%20UNDRIP.
David Eby was an MLA at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_British_Columbia_general_election
Undermine the rule of law?
Wtf. No.
He's literally going to change the law because the courts interpreted a currently written law in a way that wasn't intended. And he should know, he voted for that law so he can definitely remember his intentions.
That's well within how democracy works. He's the fucking premier.
He isn't, it wasn't, and you're an asshole.
It was a picture of Trump with a quote that he had said about a school shooting saying "We have to get over it". This guy also added "This Seems Relevant"
As he should, absolutely his first amendment right was violated.
If the right can spout pure hatred and bullshit with impunity, so can everyone else.
I would extend that concept to land itself.
Land should be nominally "owned" by all citizens of a country, and leased to specific people on an ongoing basis with similar rights to use it as currently, but without the right to "sell" it. You can choose to stop leasing it, and lease somewhere else instead.
Then the proceeds of that should be used to fund the UBI.
I mean it's pretty obvious that people don't tend to stop working.
All you have to do is look at groups of people who either don't need income. Take a look at retired people for example, and you see many of them doing something productive with at least part of their time.
They may choose to do things that aren't a paid job, like childcare for grand children, taking care of a home, or volunteering, but those are still work in my opinion.
Hell my own grandmother retired from being a grocery cashier for 40 years, then got bored and went back to work for another 5 years because she liked being social (it was a smaller town where she knew most of the customers).
The top 10 wealthiest people in the world only have a fortune of around 1.8 Trillion dollars.
The estimated global personal wealth for everyone in the world is around 450 Trillion dollars.
The top 10% of the world controls a massively disproportionate amount of wealth, but definitely not the top 10 people/families.
My wife tries to be a good mother, and much of it she does extremely well, but then she goes and makes some extremely illogical decision that have no basis in reality. I support her to show a united front in front of the kids, but the kids aren't stupid and have figured out that it isn't coming from me and are starting to resent her.
She's always been like this, and it's just something I've understood and accepted as part of the package that she is. The kids didn't choose it though so it's tough to understand why this happens.
When I say illogical, I mean things like they're not allowed to go swimming at indoor pools. Outdoor pools or the lake are fine though. I have never been given a reason for this, it only started during/after covid.
Specific video games are banned for violence, despite other more violent or graphic games being approved. Usually just because they asked at a bad time, and instead of changing her mind later she just holds the line.
I've talked to her about it. She ain't budging.
Sorry for the rant.
So glad my electricity system is government run.
Despite some problems here and there, they have managed to keep rates for consumers very low.
And they do an excellent fucking job of restoring power during outages, massive windstorm? no worries, they got crews working around the clock and most urban and suburban power outages are less than 12 hours. Rural areas can be a bit longer, but still impressive.
Thanks BC Hydro.
