I agree.

The other thing to consider is that while the stock market is tanking many of these people don't have investments like that.

My experience is that conservatives discount anything that is not directly and very obviously affecting them, and even then it takes a while to sink in. They won't change until every retail outlet they patronize jacks the price or every product they use aggressively shrinkflates.

Can't lock people into some service if you do that. They gotta have that recurring monthly revenue.

He literally had to do nothing. He just couldn't help the Trump boot licking.

Not 'our' asshole, just a populist. They see the way the wind in blowing and make a bunch of noise about it and then do what they were always going to do, which is sell off more of the province to Mattamy.

Once a company is large enough they may self insure. Even if they didn't the rise in premiums from burning them would probably not be worth it

I'm honestly surprised anyone does them anymore. No one who is happy will show up to those things just to lob soft ball questions so you're guaranteed to get a bunch of negative soundbites.

I would argue it is part of their job to do this but the incentives don't align at all.

For heart surgery it might actually be hard. As the specialties get more specific you need fewer and fewer of them so the spots become more competitive.

I think I would like to go back to social media before people were getting paid for it

Then whinging about messaging is hilarious to me. It's not like they have ever been good at it it's just their portion of the electorate has been eating lead paint and accepts basically anything.
