  • Answering honestly: so that shitty people can like shitty things without the consequences. They can broadcast their views without having to answer for them, and down the line it’s easier to manipulate likes so Elon can sell likes or remove likes from anything he pleases, which allows twitter to create “public opinion” that won’t be in line with actual public opinion.

    Toronto had Zanta, a guy who wore red boxers, black boots and a Santa hat and did pushups on top of mailboxes and flexing while shoutting at passersby. If you knew him it was a fun spectacle but for most people he was aggressive and basically a creep.

    He was mentally ill for sure, and had a pretty long sad story.

    Any Zanta experts please speak up if you’d like to add more context. Pretty sure someone wrote a book or comic about the guy.



  • Regardless of if you feel UBI is necessary or pointless, this group of people were selected and offered it for a set period of time. Then the Ford government promised them they would not cancel it. Then they cancelled it. It should be treated the same as any other business or employment contract not fulfilled. These people made significant life changes under the presumption that they would have those years of stable income, and then they were tossed out the door.

    If you are one of the people who thought it was a waste of money from the start, it’s an even bigger waste once the court grants them the rest of their cash and we get no data on how UBI could/couldn’t work.
