- Wonderful, wonderful photography. Thank you for sharing.
- CRTC kicks off CanCon hearing as big streamers cancel appearances
- Not a big fan of Can-Con but if domestic firms have to do it, foreign players should not expect special treatment. Likewise, why do they think their business in Canada should not pay the same taxes as local competitors? They don't want an even field, they want predatory preferential treatment. No.
- This is a great little article. But you forced me to go back to ad blocking Ars to avoid those damn annoying auto play videos. They're not even ads, why do you insist on running crap as soon as I land on a linked page?? Road rage over.

- 2 possibilities: tariffs work, US business gets 30% price increase making it profitable. Tariffs not enough to make US business profitable at higher price, goods still imported at +30%. Both cases consumer pays 30% more. There isn't an alt reality where tariffs make US profitable without price hike.

- Lol. Yup, a 30% tax is great for the economy.
- The headline is wayyyyy more optimistic than the content of the article.
- I wonder how quickly this would happen. If I don’t find a job and they get rid of the ACA subsidies, I’m gonna have to drop my insurance.
- The solution is for the US to become Canada's 4th territory. In the current climate there's no way it'd be accepted as a full province, but a status equivalent to Yukon might fly and get you universal health care. Ask Premier Trump to start the process.
- *No paywall*The story starts with teachers pleading for empathy for 3 immigrant students. It ends with a border patrol agent pleading for empathy for 3 other students at the school — his own. Might be a theme here. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

View full threadYour analogy uses crime to make a point about... something. Which one is the violent criminal in your analogy, and which one has committed a civil infraction (is not criminal)?
- I use it to illustrate logic, not for the merit of the placeholders. Saying we do A so we *must* do B, is riddled with problems. No one here has yet made a reasonable case to disregard the explicit agreements made by temporary workers. There is no negotiation involved, they already made the deal.
- Who are you comparing people going through legal immigration procedures in this analogy?
- People who agree to do a temporary job and return to their own country on completion, but instead demand to be made citizens and remain illegally, which is what this particular thread has been about.
- It is remarkable how being sufficiently crazy makes many sigh in relief when told they'll be paying a 30% tax. I suspect if Trump said he was executing every 5th person to manage growth, let people whine about it for a few weeks, then said he'd agreed to kill only 1 in 10, everyone would cheer.
