Not even gonna show mine. I justs did not get it until the revealer. That one seemed really obtuse for some reason.

Canadian here. No, you fucking dont. We basically have 2 major players (Loblaws and Sobeys), and they were caught red-handed fixing the price of bread a few years ago, and faced next to no punishment for it.
Its actually insane how hard the US clings to the death penalty.

Stunning and brave.
Would you miss it? Would any of you miss it?
Opportunist
Could it be that the mounting evidence is demonstrating that the commodification of housing and its increasing use as an investment vehicle is driving the housing crisis?
Nah, must be those damn immigants and red tape thats not letting us build on protected environments!
I guess you're right. Might as well give up now, put zero effort into making anything better, and simply wallow in my own smug pessimism.
Wild that a country that has such a rich history of same-sex relationships would take this long to legalize it.
People need to be more media litterate and more skeptical of news stories instead of taking them at face value, regardless of Deepfakery. So many articles that pass as "news" are filled with opinion and adjectives designed to ellicit an emotional response.
People need to learn to look at a piece of information and ask questions.
- Who wants me to be reading this?
- What emotions (if any) is this trying to ellicit?
- What objective information can be taken from this story?
- What are the sources for that objective information? Are they reliable?
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Even a Fox News article can have some insight into the goings on if you can parse the information from the spin. Deepfakes are just going to be another level of spin, but if people are informed enough, they'll be able to logically differentiate between a real news story and a damning fake video.
However, that doesnt solve the age old problem of willfully ignorant people and the confirmation bias...
We had a really promising, progressive city councillor run for Mayor who basically tanked their campaign by making investment in cycling infrastructure one of their main platforms.
So, instead, we got a business-as-usual developper friendly mayor who will continue to do nothing to address public transit issues, or improvr cycling infrastructure besides painting a few lines on busy roads.
No, I'm pretty sure its the indiscriminate bombing of children overseas that'll do it.
