if daddy gave me several hundred million dollars and a copy of the intelligent investor id also be a " self made billionaire entrepeneur "

ban MPs from owning or investing in realestate beyond a singular primary residence, and a non rental secondary residence. same goes for premiers and PMs. once you become an MP you have to live in your riding full time. if necessary you will have to sell property in order to become a public servant

outright ban corporate ownership of single family homes and condominiums.

give renters ownership rights over the properties they rent, they get a return based on how much of the mortgage was paid for by their rent, adjusted with inflation. if you buy a house for 200k, and sell it for 600k, and the tenant paid for 100k while they stayed there, they should get 300k as a return. fair is fair. you do not get to be rich because you signed a few papers and let someone work a whole ass career on your behalf to pay your mortgage for you.

homes are meant to be lived in, they are not investments. we need to completely gut and remove any and all incentive to treat them as such.

immediate rental freezes. when you sign a rental agreement, you cannot increase the amount of rent paid until the tenant willfully leaves on their own volition, or within a 5 year period. whchever comes first. if it is the same tenant, and they decide to stay, you have to perform any requested upgrades or repairs by the tenant, if you decide not to, you do not get to increase the rental price for the next five years, if they decide to stay. any recorded hostility by a landlord towards a tenant in hopes of removing the tenant and increasing the rent price for the next tenant results in a permanent ban from renting out properties. period. even if you wish to raise the rent, you can only raise it by 0.4% per year since the last contract was signed.

“but Alloi, that doesnt keep up with inflation!”

i know. when you offer someone the favour of letting them live on one of your properties, it is becaus eyou are doing it out of the kindness of your heart. not for profit.

“but Alloi! people will go hungry! retirees wont be able to support themselves”

not my fuckin problem, tenants starve to pay the rent, retirees become homeless because they cant afford rent on a pension.

if you are a landlord driven by the idea of a “passive income” that comes off the backs of people who actually contribute to society. then you are a subhuman, parasite. and deserve zero pity. you tied yourself to a sinking ship, so sink with it.

its kind of like being locked in a cage for your entire life, and you get fed a piece of human shit, every, single, day. and nothing else. except one day, they offer you the option of having your raw human shit placed in between two slices of bread.

its still a piece of shit, but you think its a sandwich. because you simply dont know any better.

my cousin was a model a few years ago. one of his “talent scouts” invited her to his cabin for a “retreat” when she was 19 years old. she said no, because it was well known in the industry in winnipeg that nygard was a fucking creep.

im more so worried why they put in these clauses in the first place. using trump as fear fuel for the machine of an unconstitutional serveillance state, that would give away our data, openly, to the same fascist government thats threatening to make us the 51st state that carney was elected to fight against is a massive, massive, massive issue. to say the least.

“concessions” like these directly undermine our national security and public interest, and trust, in our government.

bill c2 is just the beginning of a list of digital anti privacy bills that give authoritarian style powers to our government and police force.

vote NDP, vote green. the libs and cons are two sides of the same coin. especially with carney, an early 2000’s PC style conservative playing liberal.

im so far, very disturbed by his policies in this space.

biggest mistake ever made was getting off the gold standard.

i thought it was pretty self explanitory but having to pay to wipe your ass in a public washroom, or watch ads to fuel more consumption seems pretty capitalistic in practice.

and undereducated? ill have you know i have a university degree, where i majored in porkin’ yer mum, and i minored in holding my nose and mouth closed while i did it.

no offense, i understand what you are trying to say here. im not a massive fan of the implications of things like AI and its effects on society.

but oversimplifying and infantalising your enemy wont stop it from out performing you.

like i can say “all AI does it put words on a screen based on a statistical analysis and prediction algorithm based on context and available training data, and its only accurate between 95% to 97% of the time, and it lies when it doesnt know something, or wants to save power for the sake of efficiency and cost reduction”

and it would still be far more likely to give a comprehensive breakdown and step by step analysis of systems well beyond my personal understanding. way faster than i ever could.

we can chalk it up to stolen info and guessing letters, but itll still outperform most people in most subjects, especially in terms of time/results.

dont get me wrong i dont think its intelligent in the way that a human can be, or as nuanced as a human can be. but that doesnt necessarily mean it cant be forever. and the way the technology is evolving across the board, seemingly faster and faster each day. with some plateaus here and there. its hard to imagine a world where we just say “well, we tried, its a dead end, oh well” and just completely abandon it for the idea of human exceptionalism.

overall humans, as smart as they are, are also pretty fucking dumb. which is why we are ignoring things like climate change, for what are essentially IOUs made out of 1s and 0s (money). and also succumbing to a global increase in fascist ideals even though we historically know what it entails and how it ends. and its in part due to the ability of AI to manipulate the masses, in its current “primitive” state.

i dont like AI, but im not going to pretend it wont be able to replace the output of most humans, or automate most jobs, or be used to enslave us and brainwash us further than it already has.

the human mind simply cannot compete with the computational speed, and in some cases, quality, of what is, and what is yet to come.

slop it may be, but if you cover the veritable feast of human creativity with enough slop, humanity will soon have no choice but to eat it or starve. everything else will get drowned out in time.

something really fucking big would have to happen to change this outcome. ww3, nuclear war, solar flare. who the fuck knows.

but what i do know is that those in power need the system to function as is, and in newer more efficient ways, while they still need us, in order for them to have the highest potential survival rate when it all comes crashing down at the end of this century. so, we may just avoid total annihilation unless its deemed necessary for their survival. lets hope we rise up before they take that opportunity.

how “capitalistic” of the “communists” lol.

im with ya there. if they really care about getting everyone into EVs to “save the planet” or whatever. it shouldnt matter where we get them from, or how cheaply. we are already quite fucked climate wise, so letting us have a cheap ev for the apocolypse is the least they can do lol.

recently they just just released a new standard for sodium ion batteries that operate normally at -40c

so its already changing. also they are like $10 kwh, they are making them in series with lithium ion for range, sodium ion for extreme temps, +/-.

is this instance full of normal old school conservatives or is still maga based?

we are never going to build our own ev industry in time for it make any difference, the only places doing it are incredibly niche small companies making “kei trucks” and buses for public transit, or parts and assembly for foreign companies. and it would take decades for us to achieve a similar quality product that china has right now, if ever, and never at an affordable price in comparison.

the reason everyone isnt driving electric is because we dont have the availability, infrastructure, and pricing that makes it worthwhile.

we can 100% still make batteries and offer alternate solutions with said batteries rather than using them to create our “own ev line” we could make drop in battery/motor conversion kits for instance. for bikes, cars, trucks, buses, whatever you can imagine.

also we could use them to create and maintain municipal public transit, like torontos/vancouvers rental ebikes, except not privately owned. buses are already being converted as well. (looking at you winnipeg)

having locally made batteries will never not be valuable. having additional options and RnD cant hurt.

realistically speaking. theres zero chance we will be able to ever offer a more affordable and similar quality all canadian EV vehicle line up in the next several decades. thats a pipe dream.

but batteries, and the stuff to make them, will only go up in demand. and its possible that domestic batteries some day might be cheaper, if we play our cards right.

fucking Minneapolis.

honestly i wouldnt be surprised if hes already brain dead in a closet at mar-a-lago already, and they are using his likeness through AI to keep MAGA in power like how the Emperor from 40k keeps warp travel possible, and thus the empire “intact”

can we stop applauding nazis in parliment for gods sake.

Mcfascism

luckily i live in canada, and only go by an alias, nazis get shot. shit happens.
