Because most people actually like the updates, but you will only hear from angry people who don’t like change. Everyone else just goes on with life.

Yeah, I’m sure what these people expect. Either they are explicitly supporting attacks on civilians and hostage taking as a fine way of warfare, or they are deluded as hell that either side will stop. Hamas could at any time end the war, but they’d rather use innocent Palestinian lives as a shield.
And for what? To try to get a bunch of their hamas friend terrorists released? It’s pretty clear where hamas’ values lay, and it’s not with the Palestinian people. In fact, this whole thing happened precisely because this hostage tactic worked previously. That’s how the current leader of hamas was freed in the first place.
I’m 100% Isreal minimizing civilian Palestinian damage, and I think they need to do way better, but I also want to see hamas and their ilk shutdown.
Modern China is in no way communist. It’s more of an autocratic socialism. I mean come on, people own businesses, buy and sell things their businesses make, even their healthcare has significant private components!
Also, while Cuba’s medical system is good for what it is, the rest of the country is not very functional. If communism were so great everything in the country would be at least as functional as their healthcare despite trade.
Communism was a nice idea that doesn’t work in practice.
I’ve always paid >50% of my income when I rented. Sounds good!
At least they aren’t communist lemmy posters who spend all their days shitting on good deeds.
There is also Soviet communism, Cuban communism, and North Korean communism. I’m sure one of those countries will happily welcome you with lovely high quality public housing.
The geniuses on this site think that if the government is your landlord then you don’t have a landlord. Basically they want a form of communism. Public housing has it’s place but as someone who has rented in the past it’s not the sort of housing I’d choose unless it’s a last resort.
In any case, VERY STRONG DISAGREE that the only rentals should be government run or co-ops.
No it wouldn’t. Here is a comparable: https://www.realtor.com/rentals/details/166-Amsterdam-Ave_New-York_NY_10023_M33265-52776?property_id=3326552776&from=ab_mixed_view_card
A three bedroom would go for $12k a month, but we don’t even have three bedroom units here. Assuming this is a two bedroom it would probably be in the middle of the range given. So 7k-8k USD. But Toronto shouldn’t be as expensive as Manhattan, NYC.
No, we don’t end up in the same place. While the liberals are not great, neither the liberals or the NDP will erode our social progress like the conservatives will. Both would also probably be better for the environment if that’s your jam.
Literally the only reason to vote for the conservatives is if you agree with their campaign of hate and intolerance. If you want social regression go vote for them, but you wont’ get anything else out of them.
Even if he was hypothetically not lying about wanting to address housing in the way he suggests, I still wouldn’t be able to support him because eroding our social protections and freedoms is not worth it.
But I also think the likely hood that he upsets his rich suburban supporters and friends by allowing condos to be built next to their nice houses is close to zero. So it’s probably one of those bullshit planks like the liberals saying they were going to potentially get rid of first past the post. There are zero consequences for our politicians lying like this.
It would be nice if our elections laws defined a class of promises where if they are broken an election is forcibly triggered.
So in your mind all those new grads out getting their first jobs should just be homeless for 30 years until they can afford to buy a house? That’s a pretty harmful idea.
A little reality check for you, if you think people leaving a product because they don’t like it means they are a “feces smearing toddler” then perhaps you should take a good long in the mirror and ask yourself when you became the asshole child.
Hah, “I would be around other people!” … “actually not I’m in my bunker fuck you all.”
Hopefully we change this law. Trying to charge people for links is incredibly bad. There is no need for any law. If the news sites want to get money for links they can just put all their articles behind a login gate and make them not scrapable.
LOL what a galaxy brain. Complaining to the house that your kid’s favourite singer isn’t coming to Canada.
Much of Europe is privatized and their prices are much less than here. The main reason our prices are so high is the special alcohol tax the government puts on to discourage drinking.
