Ah yes, this is how it could play out.

MId term elections - Democracts take the house.
Republicans “We had to shut down the government because the Democrats won’t give us what we want.”
January 2027 rolls around.
Democracts “So when are going to get the new congress sworn in?”
Republicans “We never formally closed the previous session and since the government is shut down. We can’t do that. So, we’re just going to stay in power.”
Democracts “You can’t do that.”
Republicans “We are and we already showed you that will do it with Adelita Grijalva.”

Cornell’s endowment is approximately $10 billion.

Capitalism demands that Walmart goes out and gets that $2 billion back even if it is chump change.

$56 million is a lot to us to plebs. However, to billionaries that’s pocket change.

According to https://www.news18.com/world/billionaires-who-spent-a-fortune-to-keep-zohran-mamdani-from-becoming-nyc-mayor-ws-dkl-9685336.html. The total spent by billionaires was $8.6 million. That’s couch cushion money to a billionaire. A billionaire wouldn’t even notice the money gone.

If anything it shows how cheap it is for billionaires to buy politicans. Billionaries are throwing pocket change at politcians going “Dance for us”.

Please, keep your car in their car bedroom at all times.

Come on that’s unfair for Randy Andy, Prince of the Nonces. Sweaty Boy Andy can’t be a real prince anymore. That’s worse than prison.

Yes Inquistor. This one right here. This believes that we shouldn’t die for the Emperior.

Are we talking about Musky’s brain being cooked by ketamine?

Republicans “And that’s why we to do everything we can to fuck with voting.”

Can we not indulge into the fantasy of a wanna be super villain?

Fellow people of Lemmy, the first women President of America. I do hope this comment ages like milk.

Also, guess who will pay less taxes, and who will foot the bill?

Less taxes for the richies and the corpos. Service cuts for everyday Canadians.

Completely off topic, I have a Soulbound character that is an Ogor who wears a ballroom gown because he bounced a fancy party. He took a shin to the all the fancy dresses.

I also had someone at the table play a Tortle in DnD with a bedazzled shell.

“Congrats on the win,” he told Mamdani on X. “Now you have a big responsibility. If I can help NYC, just let me know what I can do.”

How about give up all your wealth, Bill Ackman?

Classic tech bro solution. All bullshit and jargon. Razzle, dazzle the mark to buy into a sham investment.

Whelp, that’s my internet quota for the day.

To be fair, Canada Post Corporation Act does heavily limit Canada Post’s ability to think of different ways to generate revenue.

5 (1) The objects of the Corporation are

(a) to establish and operate a postal service for the collection, transmission and delivery of messages, information, funds and goods both within Canada and between Canada and places outside Canada;

(b) to manufacture and provide such products and to provide such services as are, in the opinion of the Corporation, necessary or incidental to the postal service provided by the Corporation; and

( c) to provide to or on behalf of departments and agencies of, and corporations owned, controlled or operated by, the Government of Canada or any provincial, regional or municipal government in Canada or to any person services that, in the opinion of the Corporation, are capable of being conveniently provided in the course of carrying out the other objects of the Corporation.

Canada Post should be lobbying for a greater mandate such as a postal banking, a lost cost ISP provider, etc. It’s definitely the fault of politicians not to change the mandate of Canada Post.

I have a shiny scale that goes from 0 to 10. 0 is dull, 5 is magpies are actively interested, and 10 is anyone who stares it is irreversibly blind.

Canada on a whole from the federal level down to the municipal level is anti-business. Starting up a business often requires a deep pocket with red tape every step of the way. If the Liberals want to really galvanize collective action from Canadians, they need to be providing business centric services that are easy to access, affordable and competitive. Where’s the business starter kit from the government? Oh wait, there isn’t one. Better spend a few grand and loads of time on a business degree huh?

That’s cause Canada’s inherent nature to protect the duopolies that have developed. We have to protect these large national companies cause if they leave; the economy and services to Canadians will suffer.

Would it suck at first? Yes however new companies will rush into the market to take advantage of the market conditions.

A shame that was covered up by the 13th amendment.
