Ironfist,

The price of everything is based on demand and offer. The price of production affects the offer.

Ironfist,

the area where you live sounds like the exception, not the rule (and this is an article from last year): cbc.ca/…/rising-rent-housing-market-canada-1.6525…

Interest rates are rising and the house-buying market is cooling off, putting more strain on rentals

The cost of rental housing is rising throughout Canada, according to Rental.ca. Analysts say rising interest rates are part of the problem.

Ironfist,

I’m not an economist so I could be wrong, but this is my thought process about it: If a product becomes too expensive to produce for some companies, those companies will stop selling it. Less companies selling the product = less offer less offer = higher price.

Ironfist,

Le secteur publique en gréve, les banques alimentaires demandent l’aide, les systèmes de transport aussi, l’épicerie et le logement coûte cher en tabarnak, plein d’itinérants dans les villes… et le gouvernement provincial dépense $7 millions dans un calisse de match de hockey qu’aurait pu être gratuit.

Ironfist,

according to (checks notes) … “visualcapitalist”. Yeah that sounds like a totally unbiased and reliable source.

Ironfist,

ok, so why are there so many people trying to escape these communist paradises you people praise so much? and why so many people want to live in the capitalist hell holes you complain about?

Ironfist,

And I agree that social investment in capitalist societies builds better quality of life. Where I disagree with you is on the intention of these posts. Its clearly communist propaganda painting communism as a perfect solution for everything, as if we could not remember history or see with our own eyes that nobody wants to immigrate to North Korea for a reason.

Ironfist,

I really hope somebody asks him during the event why he texted to his ex colleagues that Trump was a demonic force and a destroyer. I cant believe people still follows him after his blatant hypocrisy was exposed.

It's not your imagination: Companies are more willing to raise their prices now — and it's because we let them (www.cbc.ca)

Supply chains, worker wages and the price of energy has been blamed for the current bout of high inflation. But central bankers around the world are starting to clue in to something consumers have been aware of for a while — corporations just aren't afraid to raise their prices anymore.

Ironfist,

This is the real problem. Companies had always and always will raise prices as much as they can, that should be a surprise to anybody, but how much they can raise them depends on the demand and the competition they have. We dont have healthy competition here in Canada for a lot of sectors. You want better prices? Break down monopolies, open the market to more foreign companies and enforce real consequences for collusion.

Ironfist,

Canadians financing foreign terrorism one white powdered bleeding nose at a time.

Ironfist,

Because communism only works on paper. In practice, it always has and always will end in what you described: an autocratic variant of plutocracy, where a tiny cadre of political elites ruled over a powerless underclass.

Ironfist,

Just the whole history of communism…

Ironfist,

Similar but not the same, communist countries always end up in tyranny and its citizens always end up escaping to capitalist countries. In capitalist countries you can see some that have better quality of life than others. It depends a lot on legislation, how competent is the government to keep a healthy economy and social investments.

Ironfist,

Anything with pepe the frog or anime in the thumbnails or anybody that says “based” is not worth it in my opinion.

Ironfist,

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum 🎵

Ironfist,

dont get too attached to that computer where you installed it, under communism is no longer yours.

Ironfist,

well, no, in communism the is no private property, your computer needs to be shared with the rest of the population that are not so lucky to have one. What are you? Some greedy ceo or something?

Ironfist,

you are wrong: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

Communism (from Latin communis, ‘common, universal’)[1][2] is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement,[1] whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society based on need.[3][4][5] A communist society would entail the absence of private property and social classes,[1] and ultimately money[6] and the state (or nation state).

Ironfist,

I watched too many people bitch and moan about vaccines and masks during a pandemic… I dont think I’m smart, the bar is just too low.

Ironfist,

I’m curious, why that feature was so important for you?

Ironfist,

The GST part is to incentivize new construction, and you are right it will increase profits but without increasing prices for the end consumer, on the contrary if more builders see this as an attractive opportunity, there will be more units built which increases the offer and when the offer goes up, the prices goes down.

Ironfist,

Offer and demand should be taught in high schools.

Ironfist,

I would recommend you a wireless keyboard with an integrated touchpad, it makes it easier to control everything from the couch.

Finally boarded the ship! And all it took was swallowing my pride.

Started learning Linux with Manjaro a few years ago, but there were always stability issues pushing me away from daily driving. I found when I did have time to use my PC, it was largely for gaming, and when any issue presented and needed to be fixed it was a bit of a barrier to entry....

Ironfist,

one of us! one of us!

Ironfist,

How is an airline not prepared for this kind of incident? It must happen all the time, you would assume they know how to properly clean it and dry it.

Ironfist,

If rural Canada would stop picking the blue one so we could choose between red and orange that would be great.

Ironfist,

also, we all lived through a pandemic which of course gave a big blow to the economy.

Ironfist,

hum not sure about that, Trump looks mad but like he’s about to cry.

Ironfist,

they will end up drinking the koolaid, dont they?

Ironfist,

I’ve been waiting for this day for so long, seeing this wannabe dictator commit crime after crime with no consequences and hearing so many people saying this would never happen, but here we are. Cheers my American neighbors! This is a good day for democracy!

Des profs prêts à travailler sont ignorés par les centres de services scolaires (www.ledevoir.com)

Il manque plus de 8000 enseignants dans le réseau scolaire et le ministre de l’Éducation est incapable de garantir qu’il y aura un « adulte » par classe à la rentrée. Pourtant, des professeurs prêts à s’atteler à la tâche attendent encore, avec impatience, que leur centre de services scolaire leur propose enfin...

Ironfist,

But why does it bother him? Im curious and confused.

Ironfist,

like a dollar store penguin with hair that melts when its warm

Ironfist,

nice try boss

Ironfist,

Global warming is drying our forests making them easier to burn. The temperatures have been crazy high this year.

Ironfist,

Exactly what I thought when I read the headline. One of the reasons we are relatively safe its because our neighbor protects us, but if they turn against us we are f*cked.

Ironfist,

In your drinking water to make the process more efficient of course.

Ironfist,

bank of Canada: “dammit! these plebes are not losing their jobs fast enough!”

Ironfist,

It’s like rain on your wedding day, It’s a RICO case when your hair dye wont dry 🎵

Ironfist,

Some THC + CBD

Ironfist,

well, women also get more attention therefor they are less lonely. Just look at dating apps: women get flooded with likes and messages, but men… good luck getting a like and if you get one, good luck getting a conversation where you are not the only one putting some effort.

Ironfist,

Would you share your internet history and text messages with your boss and co workers? With all your family? With us in this thread?

Ironfist,

My problem with it’s poor quality sources and/or content. For example: yellow journalism. I want to be informed and have good discussions, not being outraged or click baited.

Ironfist,

But you dont get it, managers need you at the office so they can feel important. You just need to lose 3 hours of your day, spend more money and pollute more, STOP BEING SELFISH!

What social taboos that exist today do you think will not be around in 100 years?

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or...

Ironfist,

Access to abortions, I hope, sh!t is getting long.

Ironfist,

A neck pillow and noise cancelling headphones makes the trick for me.

Ironfist,

and a dermatologist

Ironfist,

Thats how a lot of people, including me, ended up here on Lemmy, so I’m still glad it happened. Here I feel like im in the early days of the internet again and its great.
