Sadly SpaceX has some big government contracts, and I don’t see that stopping anytime soon

Can I get your MemeCop badge number?

While I don’t think OP is acting in good faith here, the top post is just transphobia.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out she is a TERF. She is already an out of touch rich person.

Oh, mind you I agree, no gods no kings. I just meant I’ll have to look into the Canadian system to see how much power they have. Like personal research, not “Hmm, wonder if it is good.” Sorry if that wasn’t clear, that was before coffee

Thanks for the info. I had read the Nicky Case summary previously but not the Jason Quinn one. I’ll check it out after work today, but from how I read it Nicky’s conclusion is we need to try thing is real world scenarios. Honestly I am down for any alternatives, and agree that approval would be better than RCV. I think there is a situation where you can pass some kind of election reform like RCV, see if it works, then either vote for a new method or keep it based on the real world info. Well, I see that situation as previously possible. I’m really not sure what the next 4 years will bring, but I do know what they’ve said they want to do, so…

Huh, I always thought the monarchy was a figurehead role in Canada’s government. Seems to me that should be an elected position, not one granted by birth, but that is just my first gut response. I’ll for sure have to look more into it, thanks for the answer.

That is disappointing. At least some places are wins.

I haven’t looked too deep into all the options, but from my view they all have advantages and disadvantages. At the very least RCV is better than what most places in the US. Riding the wave of popularity might be the only way to get things changed too.

I will disclose I am a Monarchist

I am honestly kind of flabbergasted by that declaration. If you don’t mind me asking (seriously tell me no if you don’t want to open the discussion), in what way? Like do you believe that monarchy is the best form of government or believe in hereditary rule? Sorry if that is a really basic question, but I have never encountered someone declaring themselves a monarchist.

Nice! I hope RCV continues to spread

I didn’t know it was a turn, so much as they were temporarily not saying out loud. Remember that Gavin McInnes is also a founder, and he is the proudest boy.

Oh, got ya

Why would a gaming news website talk about twitter? How is it whataboutism? Two things can be bad at the same time.

Individual Productivity is the wrong metric here. If you want to see the impact, I would say percentage of police calls diverted would be better. I will also say, these are still early days (whether it is 2 or 4 years), and this kind of thing takes time to establish. Cops and community members have to know it is an option and utilize it.

Just…wow

Oof, glad you did not get hit. That is fucking scary. I have heard some shit about the factories, but go fast and break things does not work in this scenario

For sure needs to be more obvious/put a sticker on it, and this still doesn’t excuse the driver. If other cars are doing the same thing they should be getting the same coverage, but Tesla gets clicks.

Build more mass transit in outlying areas, but also there are reasons for personal car ownership. My partner uses her personal car to do home health, for example. That is not possible with transit or on a bike. Plus it rains almost 9 months out of the year here, and good rain gear is spendy. I love e-bikes and transit, but electric cars have their place. There is not one solution.
