What products should be produced locally? in c/[email protected]

I'm going to go with restaurant meals.

Any restaurant that brings in prepared food from a central location frozen/pre-cooked/etc. is terrible.

Trump announces 90-day pause on most tariffs in c/[email protected]

He killed the market, let a few buddies know he was going to reverse it so they would buy stuff up cheap, then reversed it.

Literally hundreds of billions of dollars in value was just lost/made by various people in this pump and dump(dump and pump?) scheme.

How are you preparing for the recession? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 17 points 15 hours ago

I mean, good for having some staples, but that's not really planning for a recession. That's more planning for an extended natural disaster or full on collapse of society.

You're far better off spending your money on things that will improve your likelihood of staying employed (or getting new employment) through the recession, the price of those staples will be affordable as long as you have any income.

Getting a secondary job in a less-likely to be impacted industry and getting trained up now, or taking specific courses at a local college focused on a secondary skillset will be the most useful.

No. Get help.

Proper survey methodology?

I'm not sure the Conservatives have ever even heard of such a concept.

Fucking Conservatives, all of them. They think they can do/say whatever they want and the rules don't apply to them.

How does the public have control of the companies owned or controlled by the Chinese government?

If the public wanted the government to do something different than they had already decided, there is zero ability to enact that change.

The Chinese government exists in a single party system that approves all candidates before they are even allowed to run in their elections, and important positions (within the party itself) are only handed out to loyalists.

I studied China at a University level as part of my business degree, including multiple trips to said country to visit businesses, universities, and politicians.

B.C. Conservatives plan $11B deficit in first year, higher than NDP or Greens (www.timescolonist.com)
 

The party of fiscal responsibility ya'll

They say it will be caught up to with growth, which they've predicted to be above 5% per year... no way that happens, major banks are predicting sub 2% growth.

BC Conservatives promise $3K housing rebate (bc.ctvnews.ca)
 

The title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like it's a one time payment. It's very different, he's promising to exempt up to $3000 a month towards your housing costs from income taxes. Starting at $1500 a month in 2026 and going up $500 a year for 3 more years. At the max, it would be a $36,000 a year tax deduction which is absolutely massive, that's half of the average family income.

Great idea? It's complicated, but probably not a good idea.

When you make something "cheaper" for everyone like this in a supply constrained market, all that does is drive up the prices of rents and housing sale prices since people can now use that freed up money to pay more for those.

Also, his plan to pay for this multi-billion dollar plan is:

“Obviously, we need to take a look at this reckless spending that David Eby has put in place in terms of how to sort of rein in some of that spending,” said Rustad.

So that's not really "fiscally conservative" at all.

Video shows B.C. Conservative Rustad saying he regrets getting 'so-called vaccine' (bc.ctvnews.ca)
 

This asshole is literally a conspiracy theorist. He says it was about controlling the population, not stopping the spread of the virus.

Which countries (and even provinces) had the fewest covid deaths per capita? Oh.. the ones with the highest vaccination rates.

Everyone with a brain knows vaccines reduce illness, that's why we have the fucking things.
