I used to have the time to be good at PvP games. I used to have the reflexes too. Then I got older and PvP games left me behind, so I left them behind. Turning 40 this year

A gain for unions might be a gain for non union if we’re talking comparable industries, like union electricians or plumbers. Those are industries where people can leave their non union employer and go union, or work to unionize their employer.

For general office work that’s not the case. Government administration positions don’t all have non union equivalents. Office workers don’t generally unionize. You can’t just quit your non union job and get a government job, those are hard to come by. So a gain for government service workers is irrelevant to the general public, or in the case of increased wages just means increased taxes. There’s a sense of jealousy of those with government positions, as well as schadenfreude when they get screwed over.

That’s because everyone in the general public was forced into the office before the government workers. At least the majority of them. If the government unions were fighting a return to office for everyone else, then there would be solidarity going back to fight it for the government office workers. Instead everyone just feels that it’s a good thing the gov’t office workers are going back because hey, my employer made me go back, why should they have it any better?

I wish Canadians had some balls like that but we just bend over every time while complaining about it

I would’ve loved to see an expansion or two for the game to tie up some storylines

I look forward to playing it in about 10 years

It’s a pirate action rpg

Any YouTube video that should be an article is an instant no thanks from me

Stargate not stormgate…

Doesn’t have to be a monopoly to be shit, oligopolies are crap for consumers too

It’s a personal decision. I’m happy I have them, but it’s very hard work. There really is a lot of emotional payoff through watching them grow up and helping shape them as human beings. Totally understand those that aren’t able to or willing to put up with the downsides though.

Add children and you won’t even have time to breathe

Meanwhile I have to listen to braindead coworkers lecture me on how everything is Trudeau’s fault and once the Conservatives get in federally they’ll fix the economy. Hadn’t heard more discussions of economic policy than when I started working on a construction site. Apparently every random drywaller is an expert.

My kid spent a week in the ICU with it last year. In fact his entire daycare did. Pretty sure it resulted in long term asthma as he didn’t have any of these issues prior to getting it. I’d be more interested in when they can have a safe vaccine for toddlers for my personal experience. Children’s hospitals were literally overflowing last fall/winter.

Well that’s a bit of a relief at least

Also American news

To clarify I was saying that business owners are parasites by their nature and unions will always be necessary as long as businesses are set up the way they are with all the existing incentives

As the article says, we’re only surging in population due to record immigration. The government has control over this… Maybe slow it down a little bit while we build the services to accommodate all these people? But nope, need to bring in more meat for the grinder to continue suppressing wages like they have been for decades. “good for the economy and labour shortage” means exactly this. Good for big business profit margins and eroding worker bargaining power when it comes to wages.

It’s especially relevant now that workers have found new will to fight back since covid and inflation problems.

He’s also 85, I know he has a construction background but I certainly hope he has contractors doing the majority of the work. But 2 years with no permits or plans submitted or contractors hired makes me think this guy wants to build it on his own at his own pace, and may be overestimating his own abilities given his age at this point.
