Per, I remember a long time ago someone saying "if every year is worse than the last, why are we still in the best times ever?"

Sammy Blais. It's right in his damned name. Management puff, puff, passed on Blais.

Middlestadt does fit the organizational profile here.

Yeah. We can never have too many cap guzzling tweeners.

Yeah Tciso didn't say whether he means short-term or long-term harm. Hence my query. I meant deficits. But, the problems are compounded over time in the form of debt. As the great economist Sam Malone once said “a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.” And, the great financial wizard W. Axl Ro ...

Yes I understand those terms Mëds. You missed the point which is my question to Tciso on how does a high deficit harm the economy? I would think the opposite. 5th, just look at the last 10 years. Massive deficits, and abysmal real GDP growth. In fact, we have had a substantial drop in GDP/person. ...

1) He is supposed to be a super economist, yet he is running the most massive debts ever, outside of Covid. It isn't helping the economy. Sorry Tciso, I don't quite understand this point. Can you elaborate? I assume you mean deficit, not debt. And usually running a huge deficit means increased ...

Lol

Nah. My dislike of Carney comes from a couple of factors. 1) He is supposed to be a super economist, yet he is running the most massive debts deficits (ty 5th) ever, outside of Covid. It isn't helping the economy. 2) He is supposed to be a great negotiator, yet he has totally failed in negotiating a ...

As of now, the Flames are 3rd from the bottom which would be a top 3 pick. Hunter did get a call up but he was sent back to the minors. Winnipeg is dead last. How'd that happen? We are driving a tank at full speed, and they still pass us. Bastards. But. I don't think Winnipeg can keep it up.

But JPP, that was all bullshit and optics. Hell, we have been so successful in Cypres, the UN mission is still going strong 60 years later with no end in sight. Africa. The Golan heights. We have had troops on UN missions for ever, yet, have we really made a difference? And, our foreign aid has ...

The way Trump went about this - just opens up the doors for other countries to do the same. Goodbye Taiwan End of any hope for Ukraine. This only means bad things for Canada, Greenland and others. Anyone who is happy about this, is missing the bigger picture. The big picture wasn't changed. Russia ...

Rotflmao.

Oh, wait. Did China really say that?

This was written by s friend, but it sums up how I feel. ... One of the habits I try to cultivate is connecting dots that most people insist are unrelated. History rarely announces itself loudly at the beginning. It whispers first. The situation unfolding around Nicolás Maduro and Venezuela is not ...

Dumb question, but, who is going to stop them? Yes, this is a bully response. But, we created the League of Nations, and then the UN to deal with stuff like this. And then the UN has since then been less than useless. I am not justifying Trump's actions with "everybody else is doing it", but, almost ...

There are a long list of reasons. Some valid. Some not so much. Some are valid from a western democracy standpoint. Some are not. The list includes Remove an illegal dictator. Restore peace and democracy Stop a military build up in the heart of the Americas Reduce inflow of drugs from Venezuela and ...
