I don't think government services need to turn a profit to exist. Including the military.
It's not that they are for that but rather they are for owning things that do that as a side effect.
How much money is the military losing per day? As far as I can tell they aren't bringing in any income at all!
Yeah, Canadian voters fucked up real bad and now we're going to suffer the consequences, it's true.
Except, once again, the last two elections resulted in a strong enough NDP to stop the Liberal's worst instincts. To such an extent that people were able to lie to themselves that the good things that came from those governments were the products of the Liberals and not NDP pressure.
What if instead of racing to the bottom we invest more in the public sector and create more good jobs that create citizens who can contribute rather than forcing more people into minimum wage or gig work?
The NDP isn’t even an option at the moment though
They were at the time of election. It was not a two party situation, that's just a lie people are telling themselves to soothe the foolish decision they allowed themselves to be tricked into making.
We don't live in a two party state, believe it or not.
"Oh, but only two parties had a chance of winning!"
Except in the previous two elections we gave the NDP enough power to hold the Liberals back from their worst tendencies to such an extent that people convinced themselves that the Liberals weren't financially regressive shitheads, so I really don't want to hear it.
Can we be totally honest and admit the only reason we still have door delivery is to protect the jobs of mail carriers?
Surely we'll make the country better when we make those people get minimum wage jobs at Tim Horton's in the name of making government services into profit centres.
Now if they could just take this lesson and apply it to the rest of the 'information' that is supplied by the media environment they have immersed themselves in.
Oh no! Businesses whose 'innovation' is doing end runs around labour law, leaving? How sad.
Defence is absolutely a service the government is providing the country. Define it however you will, that is the nature of the thing.
As for the rest, everyone keeps banging on about junk mail but I seem to get other things in the mail regularly as well.
