at least our money uses decimal system 😃

considering we want to get closer to EU and further away from US it would make sense. Exporting feet yards and gallons doesn't work for non-US. BUT entire country is hooked on imperial- all construction supplies and hardware are primarily imperial, all the training is done imperial, windows and doors are all imperial. So it's.not an overnight thing but steps could be taken, say, over a decade or so to shift further away from imperial

in context of Android phone it is freedom. Linux phones are whole 'nother game altogether

freedom just got a pricetag... and it's effin' steep

voters are out for blood. Now, will Dems oblige?

it was federal election. not state. what california policies? texas is still red on the inside they just went blue on federal level. In other words NOTHING changed for texas, but a lot changed on federal level

While we're at it lets rip out price tags in stores. People should learn prices at the till or they will never try Dijon Ketchup with Champagne Mayo...

Typical used car salesman approach for entrapment. He doesn't give 2 shits about the fact that person who is looming for $135k+ job just wasted sh#t ton of time on company that is a poor fit AND company wasted it's own resources interviewing that person. I'd be firing that n'fluencer guy right this moment.

there's more nuance than that. If AOC support is coupled with heavy (and popular) DSA representation in both chambers she may actually stand a chance. So the focus right now should be elsewhere which is not to say AOC endorsement should seize, but that for that to become reality a lot of things have to fall into place. Also, just as Bernie's "failed" candidacy did AOC challenge will force DNC to acknowledge it's leftmost side and incorporate it's agenda.

Short-time thinking on Eby (and NDP) part. They toyed with proportional representation, they should've stuck to their remaining 2yr mandate, get proportional representation and save us all the embarrassment. Also BC NDPs leaned so far right they were past 2000's Liberals to the right... so I guess it's time for them, like for Dems down south to do some soul searching and find their roots.

rerun of Chile

Lake Ontario, along with other lakes touches multiple countries... Google had no problem there 😉. In reality Americans are free to use whatever names they feel like for anything in the world, just like with the empirial measurement system but don't count on others to know WTF you talk about when you open your mouth.

Can't read entire article, but at risk of repeating what may have been stated in article I would still like to mention that Business School is not Economics science. HOWEVER Economics science turned into a dogmatic religion. So while as such science is valuable, modern Economics is utter garbage and any progressive thought is always banished from the field. Imagine physics or mathematics doing that, or even computing? So the question should be not about shutting down but about restructure and reform. What governments need to do is to employ those rare progressive economists who actually survived institutional "pecking" and make them mainstream by adopting their policies. We need economists but not the kind produced by modern schools of business.
