4 billion a year to house 86,000 people is $46,500 yr/person.

$3875/mo/person

Being honest, with a budget like that I could rent an apartment in NYC that I can only assume is quite a bit nicer than a literal homeless shelter

I'd always assumed photographers and directors and producers made the kinds of decisions around "will the subjects eyes be visible or obscured". I didn't realize the actors made those kinds of calls.

I don't dispute that you were correct in guessing they weren't Canadian, I just wasn't following your logic.

The question is posted to a [email protected] so if one were to assume anything wouldn't it make much more sense to assume Canadian?

Lol the Fraser Institute is an absolute fucking joke.

Yeah I got a pretty nauseating explanation of "The June 4th Incident"

To be fair, if they're driven by an LLM I would still expect it to be wrong.

I want to live in a world where people can eat beyond rice and dried beans within their budget.

It's 2024. Eating a thin mash of bulk grains like you're a medieval peasant isn't a plucky story of resilience. It's the story of a failed economic policy.

Oh, no, I'm absolutely not trying to engage as if this person is holding the objective truth because they aren't. I'm not either. They just have had a different brainwashing than most so I'm interested in the flavour. I'm interested in hearing their views, fact checking them, and using that to reverse engineer the intiontions of those who are feeding them a moral rationalization.

No, I was just trying to drag out of you how you see the incident without priming the pump. How does one minimize the killing of hundreds of unarmed students? I knew people like you existed, I just never had the opportunity to witness someone actually do it, and I was curious how it's done.

You roll 20 additional days into it as a buffer, and count injuries as equivalent to murders, and let them happen anywhere.

It can't be the "Tiananmen Square Massacre" for you because then couldn't draw in PLA members who had heart attacks and died elsewhere that day because they weren't at the square. You need to create a context where they're all the same thing and the geography of place really damages the ability to do that.

You just dilute a massacre to make it not a massacre by expanding the time and places. Super interesting. It's a distinctly different approach to propegands than you'd typically see in the west or Russia.

What what is called?

 

I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
