what they do is let you get close and blow the powder in your face and that is enough. usually a distraction like they will get you to open a card and doing so it sprays the powder as you get close to inspect it. super scary.

Doesn't make sense, Roman engineers discovered steam power but it was cheaper and easier to use slaves. It's more of a problem of demand. Why would I need a loud clunky steam engine when I can hire a dozen slaves who will not only

The weirdest part of it all is I see censorship, gaslighting when you bring up contraception possibly having impact on fertility. All discourse around it is stopped. We can't even question it. But we do know that contraception in devel

or in the case of Paris, extreme tax/socialist policies/reckless immigration creating uncivil environment. Seriously, very few places I find in Europe that is attractive now, lot of places in Asia have caught up or exceed in value

Even the people living in their cars? Or barely making payments on their used ICE car from the 90s? This is literally a modern "let them eat cake"

it simply is not because EV cars are far out of reach for most Americans. Unless they are providing upto 95% subsidy most will not sell their ICE cars and will keep buying used ICE cars In fact this type of virtue signaling only hurts the p

You think Europe is setup to handle this? Have you seen the electricity prices in Germany??? They are barely able to keep the street lights on, and struggling with the current EV usage. Not only that most Europeans are not rich and they wou

but how will they deal with the additional surge on the already stressed grid and no water? this is national virtue signaling and there's no way that ICE cars are going away. I know several people who sold their electric cars and are b

yet the people flipping homes and own multiple properties are local canadians, so are immigrants to be blamed for wanting to buy a home? why is there no focus on corporations purchasing multiple units in bulk to flip it? I feel like this bl
