Easily my last favorite ST intro. No idea why, I just hate watching it.

The theme gets good in line season two, then they ruin it beyond redemption in season 4.

If you look at the average tax rate by income it maxes out at 250k to 500k, then the rate halves as you get to $1M and make more money in the .1 and .01%s.

Our tax system systematically fucks over the middle class and I'm incredibly annoyed by it. You've got CEOs taking a $1 salary but making all their income as capital gains from stock grants so they pay taxes on 50% of their income.

What people think are the 1% are actually the 0.1%.

It’s not too late for electoral reform in c/[email protected]

It's the system that has been used in Britain and their colonies for centuries. It's not perfect, but it has endured.

I'm not saying we can't do better, bit I am saying this is an existential change that we have to be careful about.

It could literally destroy the country if not managed correctly.

Since none of the current parties agreed, with not even two major parties agreeing, it seems like a bad idea to just force though.

And what happens to Canada when we get rid of that system, the Conservative numbers plummet, they cry foul, and suddenly Alberta wants to leave Canada.

None of the parties agreed, none of turn ever will, it’s too entrenched.

This needs to be done incredibly carefully, and for people who think it should be easy, what happens in the next election when the CPC are expected to win a landslide majority, and Polievre says “let’s make a change, we have the numbers”

We have what we have. It could be better, but it could be a lot worse.

I will never understand the NDP not switching their leadership and messaging.

Singh is not going to win. They need a more pro worker and pro jobs message.

How come Data has rights but not the legacy EMH? (lemmy.ca)
 

I just watched Measure of a Man, they rule Data has the right to choose. But in Voyager the EMH gets relegated to forced servitude. Why? Doesn’t that violate precedent?

Poilievre says 'biological males' should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms (www.cbc.ca)
 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

"Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males," Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent "transgender women" or "biological men" from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

"A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear ... what reach federal legislation would have to change them," Poilievre said.

"But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males," he added.
