When the middle class struggles, they eventually embrace anybody who promises a break from the status quo.

Moderate parties need to ask themselves what have they done so poorly that these extremists are now becoming popular. We've seen these sort of authoritarian far-right movements across the globe and I'm not seeing moderates offer a great answer.

Personally, I would rather see a shift towards a sustainable future where the necessities of life, such as food, housing, education, health care and public transit were enshrined.

If I may...

Can we stop humiliating men for having small dicks? Penis size is something people don't choose and can't change, like their skin color or their sexual orientation.

Those trying to project a "tough guy" appearance are deeply insecure. They have this idea that if they show vulnerability then other people will think less of them and they will be victimized. People don't learn this sort of coping behavior when they are raised in a loving nurturing environment.

They don't have small dicks. They are scared.

I suggest choosing your parents carefully. They should be elderly and in poor health, and most importantly they must own a house not too far from Toronto.

> you need to touch grass, the text you sent just has the same allegations, nothing new nothing concrete

The details are classified. You and I don't get to see them. The people who do get to see the classified evidence, like some of the congresspeople I mentioned, take it seriously. The whistleblowers have allegedly provided Congress with the names of the people in charge of the reverse-engineering projects and the locations of the materials.

Think again about that: the elected representatives with the best access to the most sensitive information take it seriously.

What alternative explanation do you have for multiple congresspeople from both sides of the aisle being willing to investigate these claims and writing new laws to encourage more whistleblowers to come out?

> why have i never heard of flying saucers in africa?

How much news do you get from Africa, generally? You won't know things when you don't look for them.

One of the most widely known mass UFO sightings happened in Zimbabwe in 1994 in the Ariel School.

If it was nonsense, why did the Inspector General find his allegations "credible and urgent", and forwarded them to Congress, where Grusch and other whistleblowers deposed under oath? And why have several Congressional committees announced that public hearings will be held in the upcoming months?

Let's not make the mistake of thinking that just because evidence has not been made available to us it means there is none. We don't get to learn the most highly classified weaponry in the Pentagon, why would non-human technology be released any more widely? If you want more information to be made public, go write a letter to your elected officials telling them this matters to you.

It is very much moving forward. Senator Marco Rubio has stated that he takes David Grusch's testimony seriously. Rubio is a member of the Gang of Eight, the group of people in Congress who receive the most sensitive US intelligence.

Rubio has stated that Grusch is not the only whistleblower who has come forward and testified to Congress. According to him, over the last two years there have been multiple other highly-ranked officials sharing with Congress their first-hand knowledge of secret programs to reverse-engineer non-human technology, corroborating Grusch's claims.

Senator Gillibrand and Rep. Burchett have publicly announced that in the coming months they intend to hold public hearings to hear the evidence put forth by Grusch and other UFO whistleblowers in various committees in Congress.

If you find the subject intriguing and would like to learn more, I can recommend the podcast Need to Know by Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel. Other good sources of information that have also been proven reliable in the past few years are The Debrief and Liberation Times.

In Canada we see cars hitting buildings much more often than buses hitting buildings. There are likely multiple reasons for that, but one factor is surely that the number of drunk bus drivers speeding down the streets is much lower.

Obtaining a driving license is too easy and losing it is too hard.

You work work work to barely afford necessities like shelter and food and when you finally can enjoy your life, you’re old. Brilliant system.

But I need my lifted pickup truck To hAUl ThInGS. How can I go grocery shopping without a vehicle the size of a minibus? And how would other people know how strong and wealthy I am if I were to walk, ride a bike or use transit? I need a big metal box around me to protect my insecurity.

Things have gotten so bad that I'm willing to vote for whoever takes the most significant measures to make housing affordable. Here's a half-baked assortment of the sort of policies that would either increase supply or reduce demand:

1. Allow mixed-use medium-density housing in areas that now allow only single-family homes. Allow mixed-use high-density housing to be built in proximity to subway, train, bus stations.

2. Reduce the taxes and paperwork required to (re)build a home.

3. Pay several architecture firms to design a variety of housing and offer those projects free of charge to the public. A la "Vancouver Special".

4. Use public land to build social housing below market rates

5. Municipalities buying old apartment buildings and renting them out below current market rates

6. Maintain a central registry of who owns what housing and who lives there (necessary for the policies below). This can be used to audit abuses

7. Raise property taxes on vacant housing

8. Introduce a new yearly anti-speculation tax that depends on the owner of the unit:

   • Canadian citizens: 0%.
   • Permanent residents and people with work permits: 0%.
   • Companies established in Canada:
     • Single-family dwelling: 5%.
     • Dwelling between two and 6 units: 2%
     • Housing with more units: 0%
   • All other assumptions: 10% <-- this includes foreign investors

9. Halve immigration targets until housing crisis is over

Edit: 10. Eliminate parking minimums. Let business decide how much parking they need.

We don't have enough information. As long as she kept her work in school separated from her OnlyFans, I see nothing wrong with her having a second job.

This sentence is ambiguous:

Among them is allegedly posting material on public social media accounts that "involves the sexualization of the school environment."

Is this implying that she took any of her OnlyFans pictures while inside the school? That wouldn't be okay. But if what it is referring to, as she alleges, is that she took pictures elsewhere while wearing a school uniform, then the only thing that matters in my mind is whether it was a generic school uniform or the specific uniform used at the school she worked at.

We are generally very hypocritical in matters surrounding porn and sex work.
