Because land owners still have to pay property taxes

Whats stoppping the norwegians from digging that oil

Which, as far as I'm concerned, are basically land rental fees

norwegians are digging that oil

but thats the reason the scandinavian system works so well for them,

They have a small population, high natural resources

so they can easily afford social programs

America can not, because its too big, too unorganised, and doesn't have government for-profit corporations

Well thats opening some new avenues

Also, some states are run worse than others.

You have red and blue states.

yes, but its also a false comparison

you should compare US to the EU,

Not to one small country

EU also has differently run states/countries
Different levels of wealth in them, people, progress, political majorities

And now some states aka countries are run worse than others

TGI Fridays

what is it with all these countries using oil to subsidize their social programs? fucking hell

Damn, I need to do that for my next car

Hmmm

I could take advantage of that 😏

I posted about that yesterday. I wonder how far this sort of thing will go

removal of gender, leaving only biological sex

as far as the system will allow people to go

because companies don't like to get fked over

I have it on good authority from an expert that biological sex doesn't real

Checkmate, conservatives

i have it on good authority that people that work at colleges are not experts 😛

if they were, they would not work for a college 😄

@Beemann that needs to be meme-afied

Thank you, Dr. Nicholas Matte. I don't know what he's a doctor of but science is not it.

Not sure if this is the right channel, but thoughts on this? https://torontosun.com/news/local-news/mandel-mentally-ill-stabber-in-army-recruiting-centre-attack-to-be-allowed-into-community

My thought: I'm glad I don't live in Toronto.

It smells like sewer

canada needs longer sentencing

even if the goal is rehabilitation rather than punishment, that takes time.. it just seems better to reduce a sentence for good behavior instead of default to a short sentence

@Timcast wrt people pretending to be disabled in order to enjoy benefits: This literally happens in california. I forget the specifics, but, basically, if you _identify as_ disabled, then any pet you own is by definition a support animal, and that animal is entitled to legal protections as a result

so for example I could say "I identify as diabled because I'm depressd" and then my employer is legally required to let me bring my cat to the office

this is why in california everyone just takes their dogs into the grocery stores and restuarants and stuff
