Canadian here.

We got 2 of them for our kid. We didn’t have private insurance at the time. I think they were 50$ each. We thought THAT was expensive.

1000$…wow… And that stuff expires quickly too.

Thank you for taking that bullet for us!

As a kid, my dad used to tell me stuff like that. He believed it too. He worked 2 jobs 6 days a week all his life to die in relative poverty.

People make wealth issues generational. It’s not. It’s a narrative to divide and conquer.

It’s the rich vs the poor. It’s always been.

For me, Linux recreates the exhilaration of 1990s MsDOS: will this setting, that I really don’t understand, make my game work or just render my whole system unusable?

I really want to play this awesome new game called Syndicate…

What’s the worst that can happen? Reformat for a 4th time this week?

y/n?

How I envy you to be able to watch Archer for the first time.

Thanks for the links. Interesting reads.

Tldr, oxfam:

Around 50% of these emissions meanwhile can be attributed to the richest 10% of people around the world, who have average carbon footprints 11 times as high as the poorest half of the population.

Hard to swallow pill: The way of life of the rich countries, including the one of their poor citizens, is the problem. We, the westerners, are the problem, not the billions of China and India.

But yay electric cars and recycling… Insert “I’m doing my part” meme.
