Well, gerrymandering is still a thing, but anyway it would be like adding another California to the US, electorally. The populations are pretty close. And actually, the less-populous provinces are a little more conservative (the truckers protesting covid restrictions were canadians, remember), so actually maybe each individual province being added as a state would work in Trump’s favor.
Not that he’s thought any of that through, of course.
After the last ten years in America, I’m thinking maybe we give Chuck a shot.
The “I want to buy your house” things are a little bit different, because they’re usually not technically scams (though they are definitely predatory). If you work with them, you will probably receive money in exchange for your house. It’s just that your sale price is likely to be far, far below what you could’ve received by listing it yourself on the open market.
They’re exclusively targeting people who don’t know how much their property is worth. Usually people in transitioning neighborhoods who bought their home 40 years ago for $10k, who don’t know that their property alone is worth $200k today and will happily take $80k cash from some rando on the phone because they think the 800% return is a great deal.
I’ve lived in neighborhoods like that for a while. The phone calls we receive are insane; in our old house, which we knew was worth $300k because we had just had it appraised to put it on the market, the guy on the phone offered us $65k sight unseen. I was like, “if you even took the twelve seconds to look at this property on Street View you’d know why that is a laughable idea.”
Yeah, well, losing two console generations in a row will do that.
I’m a parent, and I don’t want special treatment. Some consideration would be nice, but honestly I just want every employee to be treated like adults.
The problem as presented is that the player they want to use pays them less money. Every other platform would pay them no money, or negative money.
So.
It’s not your right to (do) work. It’s the employer’s right to (have) work (provided to them at low cost). So you’re absolutely right about the FFPUWW.

Tough to do, and do right, but I’m down. Still, until that day…
Audacity
You may want to switch to Tenacity. Audacity was purchased by a company in 2021 that super promises not to try to sneak telemetry into the program. Again. For the third time.
Tenacity is a fork of Audacity without any of that nonsense.
This whole charade is pointless. We are not talking about a rational human.
This is not a man who wouldn’t use force to make it happen anyway.
Trump doesn’t even follow his own country’s laws, I doubt he’ll care much about another’s.
That’s kind of what I was thinking.
Mathematically speaking, almost no one is.
Back in the middle ages, the code of chivalry came to basically be a gentlemen’s agreement between nobles which was generally adhered to even in times of war: “hey, there aren’t very many of us, so kill all the peasants you want but try to just capture and ransom the nobles.”
I wonder if there’s a similar agreement among the 1% today.
Betcha he’s gonna do it anyway.
Edit: Or this whole idiotic scheme will fall apart and then he’ll stop talking about it. Have you heard him say the word “wall” even once in the past five years?
“The GOP” can be used synonymously with both “The Republican Party” and “Republican lawmakers.” One of those is singular, the other is plural.
