Violent rebellion rarely results in a government that those rebelling wished for, unless those rebelling wish for authoritarian government. Egalitarian governance is often born from long-term persistence to addressing the needs of the population and a general rejection of policies from the wealthy.

That being said, a population under an authoritarian regime often need to use violence to (attempt to) trigger the shift into a more egalitarian government. In France’s case it worked (for a while), but took several attempts to get there.

Creating lasting policy which truly works for the population requires that the population is healthy, fed, housed, and educated - if any of these are missed, then there is a significant risk of a right-wing shift.

True, but it’s not usually as coded as this or if it is, it’s a symbol that is common to all - more corporate logo than DaVinci code.

Fully agree, however, the press has done that before and he just shuts down the question with some remark about the reporter and if they press, he walks out. Aside from physical restraint, I don’t think we will see him submit to any real questioning.

He can retire on a full federal pension, the only way it would get higher would have been if his party won last night. He has not, and will not, need to acquaint himself with the real world.

Going out on a limb that most of the Filipinos in that crowd didn’t vote for Trump, being that it happened in Canada

I don’t know if it’s as likely as the G&M says, 338Canada is still giving him a 93% chance of winning his seat https://338canada.com/35020e.htm - It’s come down some, but I doubt there’s going to be some sort of red wave there to oust him

Cannabis also causes impairment and, coincidentally, munchies. That being said, all of the potheads I have known absolutely do not drive after partaking, though I cannot say the same about friends who have drank more than legal limits…

Even if that happened, you’d just end up with Vance as president. If you somehow remove both Trump and Vance, you get Mike Johnson. The US has effectively no mechanism to force new elections - in Westminster style parliament, a majority ‘no’ vote on certain legislation (i.e. budget) immediately triggers dissolution of parliament and an election must happen. A party can also call a vote of no-confidence, which will do the same thing if it passes.

There’s also another “oh shit” button that can be pushed for those of us still beholden to the Crown, which is King Charles can mandate the dissolution of government unilaterally, which actually happened once in Australia.

Doubt the leader of the US would share the spot with trump…

There almost needs to be another item in that list that is “Made in Canada by Canadians, with Canadian ingredients, but the company is not Canadian-owned” - i.e. Canadian Lay’s chips are 100% made in Canada, so they get to put that label on their products, but the money still goes to PepsiCo.

Well, that’s what happened and now you get extra genocide plus total capitulation to russia

Probably analogous to command economy? Basically all industry is centrally planned, so it’s not company A decides it wants to make some widget and company b decides they want to use company A’s widget in their new product that they’ve independently decided to make. The government says we need <product> which needs <widget>, thus company A shall make <widget> and company B will use <widget> to make <product>.

This is by no means an accurate representation of the whole system or an opinion on either, but just to give a simple idea of the difference.

Probably not for much longer :(

3d-printed concrete houses are already a thing, there’s no need for human-like machines to build stuff. They can be purpose-built to perform whatever portion of the house-building task they need to do. There’s absolutely no barrier today from having a hive of machines built for specific purposes build houses, besides the fact that no-one as of yet has stitched the necessary components together.

It’s not at all out of the question that an AI can be trained up on a dataset of engineering diagrams, house layouts, materials, and construction methods, with subordinate AIs trained on the specific aspects of housing systems like insulation, roofing, plumbing, framing, electrical, etc. which are then used to drive the actual machines building the house. The principal human requirement at that point would be the need for engineers to check the math and sign-off on a design for safety purposes.

When refining a process, it becomes exponentially more difficult and expensive the closer you get to 100% efficiency. 0-95% costs less than 95-99%, which costs less than 99%-99.99%
