What is the point of calling him a banker? What agenda are you pushing? Have you even thought about it? Or are you just mouthing dog whistles for fun?

Because whether the have-never-been-a-workers-party Liberals are left-wing or not today really has nothing to to do with Carney's resume, so you're pushing some kind of billshit.

Prove me wrong.

This isn't a debate, and you're clearly here just to be a pain in the ass. Why don't you find something better to do with your time?

You phrased things in a way that can easily be read to infer that this was new for HBC, and you fucking well know it. There's absolutely no reason to be a smug prick about it.

An economist who studied at Harvard and Oxford then.

I know you understand that that's not inherently a bad thing, either. I know this because you, rightfully, point out

you won’t become governor of a central bank or a C-suite at Brookfield assets management by being a left wing economist

So, why all of the wildly intellectually dishonest labeling? Why is "banker" being thrown around, when it's not true? And why is the follow-up "PhD economist"?

Dude worked for Goldman Sachs, and y'all are trying to get your panties in a bunch over his doctorate?

That's kind of pathetic, weak sauce, dude.

Littering LEO with space junk just so you can see the booba faster out in the sticks is not the forward thinking stance you want to believe it is.

Killing terrestrial astronony while, and potentially ending spaceflight, because we're too lazy to propey invest in terrestrial solutions and just want the billionaire wankers to control everyting is a self own.

especially not with a banker at its helm

Everyone understands that central banks are not "banks", right? The Bank of Canada and the Bank of England are not, in any meaningful way, similar to the Bank of Nova Scotia.

Mark Carney's work history includes some regular ol' bogey men of the financial sector, but for some reason they never come up. Intead, it's this weird conflation of "Governor of the Bank of Canada/England" and "banker".

Dude oversaw monetary policy for nations during times of national and global financial disasters, not stock portfolios.

They just want more money.

This may be true of the Alberta government, but the Albertan people are a more complicated duck.

There is a very real current of Albertan Exceptionalism running through the province, with a narrative that Albertans are more rugged, more industrious, and more capable than people from other parts of the country, and because of this there is the pervasive belief that Alberta is undercelebrated by Canada.

Albertans believe that they are better than the rest of us, and that because of that they deserve our tribute/ and they deserve to lead.

“Mr. Carney is not a businessman.

Is he claiming to be?

Do we want him to be?!? There's a couple of business men in charge down south, and... No fucking thank you!

Free trade with the US made a lot of people richer, but it made a lot of people poorer and more vulnerable. And it came with an explicit abdication of soverignty in the name of foreign business interests.

We directly teaded foreign private money for the rights of communities to self-govern.

This is not "something was said in a vacuum decades ago, and it just happened to be right," this is "this thing that we openly gave away at the time, and has continually been biting us in the ass ever since, is something that was an open concern before it was agreed to, but was completely dismissed because some people stood to make a lot of money".

The US has always been a fascist, imperialst state. It has always made unreasonable demands on us. It was only a matter of time before an ideological fascist took control, and it was inevitable that the country would continue to take liberties with us.

This is not a crapshoot. It's "I was paying even the slightest bit of attention", and you're almost certainly only being mocking about it because the group identified here is "feminists".

So, when you post to a community, you're posting to the local copy of it. Your host then forwards that post to the site that houses the community. When you're banned from a remote site, nothing interferes with this process until the local host forwards things along. By that time, you've already posted.

Now, the site that's housing the community is responsible for federating content it receives back out again, so while you can continue to post to the community locally, those posts won't make it to any other copy of the community. But because each instance's copy of the community is quasi-independent from each other, you can, IIRC, still engage with other local users in that space.

People have thrown around the term "middle class" to mean "comfortable" or "financially secure" for generations now, but there's nothing "middle" about that. It makes complete sense that as wages fail to keep up with the cost of living, the "middle" is going to struggle more and more.

This isn't a problem with the formal definition, but one of the cultural expectations. The fact that those injured by the lie of the cultural expectation aren't burning down the homes and businesses of the rich is still a small wonder to me.
