@rad@mstdn.ca @paige@masto.canadiancivil.com I take the point and kinda agree, but it ignores the productivity that comes from the jobs. If the govt creates 1000 jobs building wind farms then we also get wind farms. (Though I know this isn’t always the case).

Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8 was excellent. So fun. Respect for writing a series and being able to keep up the quality of story and characters. The only bad part is how long I have to wait for book 9.

@getalifemike@urbanists.social Aww hell yeah. This is rad.

@elight@tenforward.social @sstephenson@indieweb.social No, I don’t think you were naive. I can’t tell you how much the people and the company changed over those years. They money flowed in and with it came power and influence.

@evacide@hachyderm.io Prague has some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. No idea why.

It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a piece of writing this much. https://mceglowski.substack.com/p/lets-talk-space-toilets

Our healthcare system is collapsing and rather than do anything to help #Ontario Ford just wants to keep pretending to be the mayor of Toronto. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ford-province-billy-bishop-takeover-9.7122427?cmp=rss #cdnpoli

@sol_hsa@mastodon.gamedev.place @infobeautiful@vis.social Yeah sadly we are real bad at trains. But a HSR is in the works finally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alto_(high-speed_rail)

@flavorjones Jeez, you’re a machine.
