I personally know the chief engineer for air force one and he's going to absolutely shit himself. There is no way that aircraft can pass a security and airworthiness audit without performing a check so invasive that it would be cheaper just to built a new one.
Trump likely won't have that so I guess they're going to fly bugged to the teeth. Hopefully they crash it into a mountain on his maiden flight with all his cronies.
I think it's also the old hub and spoke model where American companies open shops in Canada to get market access and bypass certain regulatory requirements that apply to international firms. So the Canadian subsidiaries are spokes designed to extract wealth FROM Canadians rather than the "hub" in the US where all the investment money goes.
Same with Canadian companies that are bought by American conglomerates. They usually just become spokes rather than companies meriting innovation investment in their own.
Not really, it's just that no one invests in Canada. I don't have a full story as to why, but the data points directly to a low investment rate into technology in Canada. It's super shitty and I'm sure someone is profiting from the money that would have been invested.
You might be surprised to find out who the "one of you" is!
None of those. I don't disagree that they USED TO BE the best electric cars.
But that's in the past. There are very few markets where Tesla has the most market share anymore in 2025. It's not just because of protests, they're just not that great compared to the competition anymore. The trend has been worsening for years and Tesla hasn't brought anything new to counter it.
Inferior car? Tesla has some of the weakest reliability metrics in the industry which is shocking considering electric drivetrains are far more reliable than ICE.
Modern electric car manufacturing has far surpassed what Tesla can provide at any price point (range, reliability, comfort, you name it) unless you still believe FSD is coming in "just 2 more years bro, and it'll be free and backwards compatible"
Everyone who was alive when she was born is dead.
As long as Elon owns any stake in Tesla buying a Tesla is spring Nazis.
Don't compare the income of the rich and the poor. We use our take home pay to buy groceries. They use their take home profits to buy our country out from under us, to buy our land and our companies, to buy our politicians, to buy our time. We are not the same.
I don't know why you're conflating me with another person. You asked why people downvote without engaging with the argument. No one answered you. That includes Rhoeris. I took pity and gave you a detailed organised answer that was hopefully catered to ND comprehension styles, and you haven't engaged with what I was saying. Since then all I've gotten from you is emotionally disregulated lashing out.
That being said Rhoeris is also discussing circumstantial commonality with Nazis not actually calling the person a Nazi.
If you don't understand (or choose to ignore) the importance of context over content in NT human interactions you'll always be confused about what people downvote/upvote/react to and why.
I don't see where I called him a Nazi. All I said is that he's contextually aligned with the Nazi position. That's just circumstantial. Unfortunate for him that he didn't realise what he was doing, if it wasn't his intention.
But you keep reacting emotionally and finding excuses not to engage with my argument.... Weird....
NTs don't need the importance of context explained to them.
You still haven't engaged with the argument.
Seems like you're all "emotional arguments" and "insults" now that someone ACTUALLY answered your question and you didn't like the answer. Wonder why no one else wanted to do it.
Crazy that you didn't engage with a clearly laid out argument after spending 10 replies arguing that other people aren't "engaging with your argument". Also being autistic isn't an insult.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
Wait... We're still arresting people for hate crimes?
From recent news I thought committing hate crimes and war crimes should get me a political appointment! I must be doing this wrong.
Yeah, it's like the other commenters all identified that Lemmy is based on communities not users, but stopped JUST SHORT of coming to the right conclusion. Community QR codes!
Yeah maybe I missed the /s but I just wanted to show that body shaming and genital mutilation is fucked up and society's (patriarchy) acceptance of it against men is pretty shitty overall. It would be much better if nobody got body shamed or mutilated non-consentually.
Does anyone know what this flag means?
I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.
It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!
I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.
Did company profits fuel inflation? Bank of Canada researchers say no - National | Globalnews.ca
The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line
Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions
So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?
We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.
So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth".
