Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.

Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.

And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.

Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.

Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.

We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.

It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.

Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.

#canada #so much of our infrastructure and critical construction such as housing #has been pawned off for decades to private companies #and i forgot to mention one (1) family owns the bridge that is a major international corridor between canada and the us #which is apparently fine even though they fought tooth and nail to stop a bridge they don't own from being built #like our housing crisis can be traced back to the government deciding to stop building public housing in the 90s #because they figured private developers would pick up the slack #affordable apartments don't bring in much money so we got decades of cheap-ass 'luxury condos' instead #and once airbnb became a thing we got entire buildings with units <300sqft #and of course when the party in charge rotates between conservatives and neolibs nothing changes and that can gets kicked down the road #and keeps getting kicked until something collapses and they see the chance to fully privatize an industry #something similar is happening to our healthcare system too #it has been left to languish for years/decades with funding freezes and cuts #and private companies are quick to jump in and get the government stamp of approval to do [thing] that the public system clearly can't do #when [thing] would absolutely be possible if it was actually funded and/or staffed #so many communities were cut off when greyhound closed up shop because there's no government inter-city transportation #we lost internet/banking/cell service/etc nation-wide because one of the big three decided to push an update to live without redundancies #and it bugged and took the entire company's network down #even the government agency that demands major companies have a backup on a different network was taken down because they ignored that #and they got a deal if they kept their backup with rogers while their main network was also rogers #so they couldn't even make an emergency statement or anything about it #half my province also lost all digital infrastructure because it's a private company and making a redundancy line would mean smaller bonuse #it's just so bad #joke all you want about how canada is nice and friendly #but you are wrong and it's hell if you actually live here #the only reason canada is seen as nice is because it's hard to not seem like the better option when the us is your neighbour #and because of decades of pr work to make canada seem friendly and nice and not at all problematic #in some countries you actually have to try to hide you're canadian because of how much we colonize and the damage we do to other countries #yes these tags have derailed from the post but ugh #i take major issue with people who insist canada is nice and has never done anything wrong

so about the new ishmael ego

I like her. I could say more but that would be another post. Look at the background. This part specifically.

There's a private beach roped off here. It looks pristine compared to the polluted waters Ishmael's boat is in. Hell, the water is green over here.

Makes me wonder if sections of the lake are roped off for nest-dwellers only. And these beaches are kept clean, meanwhile on the other side of the ropes, the beach seems to be an industrial waste dumping ground.

#limbus company #i live near the great lakes so in the summer we'd go to lake michigan a lot and. the people who own private beaches do rope them off.#and would also dump their trash on the public beach #and even when they put trash cans on the beach the people who had private beaches would dump so much that they'd usually be overflowing #IF YOU'RE RICH ENOUGH TO OWN A PRIVATE BEACH USE YOUR OWN TRASH CAN #especially if you're going to yell at any children who go a foot past your fucking “private property no trespassing” sign #i harbor a great deal of spite for people who own beach houses or lake houses #like yeah i bet you have a second house that you never shut up about. i get it you have money.#... i think these random unrelated rambles in the tags are just a feature of my original posts now

Ok so…. H5N1 Bird Flu has spread to house mice in New Mexico…. a week after chicken and egg farms in Iowa plan to slaughter ~4 million contaminated chickens… and after bird flu has spread across dairy farms in 9 different states (so far)

But surely no humans have ever caught it—what was that? There have been 4 human cases in the US, 3 in this year alone (all 3 from dairy cows)? Lemme just check the CDCs summary and recommendations on bird flu real quick.. oh. Um . Clap if you’re scared

#there’s a reason why mice are used in labs before human trials #cause their dna is so similar #but we don’t have to worry about a deadly illness jumping that genetic gap in a population that’s been ravaged by several airborne illnesses #what’s killing me is the cdc going ‘uhh don’t drink raw milk please and thanks’ and the right wing chuds drinking raw milk out of spite #this is what happens when you hand over public health and safety to private companies and frame public health as political virtue signaling #bird flu #avian influenza #we’re kinda cooked #like not to be a doomed or anything but it’s kinda giving over fr #I wrote out a post on bird flu earlier in the year but didn’t wanna give in to panic or anything #well #here we are #bitch I’m nervous #tired posts

doofenshmirtz evil is incorporated. this means that people own shares of the business. it also means that doofenshmirtz evil as a company has the right to sue someone.

my theory - perry the platypus is the biggest shareholder in doofenshmirtz evil (he needs something to do when he's bored), which is the only reason doofenshmirtz doesnt take perry to court.

#i dont know if its been discussed before #but i had a business exam the other day #and im curious as to whether doofenshmirtz evil is a private or public company #phineas and ferb #perry the platypus

digital drawing of the wreckage of the SS Palo alto

based off of this image by photographer Kevin Johnson:

#art #my art #playing around with some different art styles #not sure if im fully happy with it #for those who dont know about the ss palo alto its actualy really interesting #basicaly they tried making a cement ship for WW1 #and they succeded #but the boat was kinda useless and bad so they never really used it #then the military sold it for funds after the war #and it was owned by a private company for a while #back in my grandfathers time they used to be able to go out onto the boat to fish and stuff #it had a restaurant in it #but over the years of being stationed on the coast it started to degrade #eventualy they had to close it to the public #and for the last while its slowly been breaking down #which means we have this giant brutalist concrete steel and rust wreck just sitting right out there along the beach

me speaking hypothetically: public transport is the key to democratised travel, everyone should be able to get where they need to go in a way that is affordable and accessible, a lack of public transport is a direct roadblock to poorer people and those who cannot drive being able to access resources and basic necessities :)

me on the bus: Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of Here. Get Me Off Of H

#i feel like it doesn't count as public transport if its sparse #and expensive #and frequently too crowded to sit #also is it public transport if its owned by a private company?#i think not

Tell me why the last bus to the train station is an hour before my train. And why the bus after that is three hours after my train. What the fuck is that about.

#I hate the public transport in this city it’s so useless it’s so unreliable #half the time the buses come five minutes early and don’t wait. which means that even if you get your timings correct to schedule you miss #them. and then they go ‘oh to correct it we’re sending the next bus five minutes later’ what? why? how does that help me?!#I hate that two singles is cheaper than a return.#I hate that if you’re in town for less than an hour or if there’s more than one of you it’s cheaper to drive and park than get the bus #I hate that half the time the ‘live map’ on the app with the live timetable is just blatantly wrong #I hate that the buses to the surrounding villages are so indirect and so infrequent #I was calculating how to get to a class I teach by bus last year when my car was out of service #and a drive that takes me 14 minutes would have take me 48 minutes by bus because I’d have to change over twice #I hate when people say I’m lucky to live in a place with good public transport when it’s really not got #and also all run by private companies who are only in it for the money. we should really think about nationalising public transport

This probably sounds super pedantic, but I hate how people, and especially businesses and governments, are re-framing 'commuters' and 'clients' as 'customers.'

#step 1: governments chronically underfund public services like transport + medical + welfare + education (despite increasing costs)#step 2: private companies swoop in and promise to take over public services for small benefits (advertising or tax concessions or whatever)#step 3: private companies change the way people talk and think about the service - it's not a public good but something to make money #step 4: governments reframe public services as a way to make money and start budgeting around that assumption #step 5: governments make the process of accessing the public service as cumbersome as possible to disincentivise its use #and so on

tbh I'm incredibly prosaic about AI, that once the VC money runs out and companies realise that the average first worlder doesn't wanna pay a 100 USD subscription for an email drafting service, chatGPT and other D2C AI will basically be dead.

#i think the companies know it too and they're ultimate target is to become B2B saas to public snd private companies

What is it about me that makes old white men think I'm a conservative? I need to know so I can change that.

#like. I'm very visibly faggy as shit???#is it that they're trying to play chess and assume it'll piss me off #because i just play along #I'm fascinated by other peoples' points of view and will indulge them if i can get info #it's fun #but the washer dryer guys are stealing the units from my apartment's laundry room #and they talked to me about how trump is the only person i should vote for for 25 minutes #they said the current inflation is Biden's fault directly. even though it began like 20 years ago?#any pushback i did give (posed as devil's advocate) was met with some 'you're too young to know' bs #as if I'm not creeping towards 30 years old. as if I'm 12.#as if this man didn't tell me he flunked out of high school and i have a master's degree?#not that degrees mean shit. but this guy flunked out of public education in the 1960s.#he also called people in factories in south america and asia 'unskilled workers' and implied only whites can be skilled workers??#like dude. you lease washers and dryers to apartment complexes. you can't talk about unskilled labor.#he also said we should turn the post office into a private company and promptly shut up when i said I'm a postal worker 🙈#at some point he asked about my husband and i said i don't have one or any intentions of having one #and he used that as evidence of how biden fucked up america #said i should have a husband and kids by now #said I'd probably jump off a bridge if i had any of that and he said it's clearly biden era brainrot (in different words)#interesting conversation #still cannot fathom why conservatives think I'm one of them

do you know about the 1855 Toronto circus riot?

OMG, i did not, and i'm so glad i do now!!! i'm going to try to dig up some primary sources on this but in the meantime i'm loving the high level look at Clowns Go To Brothel, Talk Shit To Local Firemen, and Inadvertently Spur Major Police Reform Across Toronto

#thank u so much for this clown knowledge!#this has also taught me that firefighters were privatized companies before they were a public service which makes perfect sense and is #an utterly terrifying thought lol #ask #kenposting

here's a tech tidbit for the day. in large part, the US's current lack of green energy isn't because the tech doesn't exist or that the tech isn't cheap/competitive with fossil fuels - it's because of bureaucratic tangles and permitting delays. Right now it can take new power projects five full years just to get approved to connect to the power grid. (On average, it's taking 3.7 years).

As of the end of 2021, there was over a terawatt of green energy storage waiting to get approval to connect to the grid. That's more than all the energy currently generated in the US. For the most part, these aren't completed projects waiting to connect - they're projects that are ready to build waiting for approval before they break ground, or are partially built and getting their application in so that they're not waiting between construction and transmission. Many requests in the queue will never get built (some because they can't afford to wait in line for five years, or lose land rights, or have their interconnect denied, or require costly restudies after design changes, or for unrelated reasons) but even if the historical rate of 25% of them were to succeed, that's still hundreds of gigawatts of power and enough to more-than-replace all the coal plants in the US.

That's not the only obstacle to construction (see also: transmission capacity, load balancing, environmental studies, permitting, and a host of other factors). To be clear: waving a magic wand and lifting this particular barrier wouldn't mean green energy right away forever. But this problem is a decent representative of the type of obstacle green energy faces. Generation and transmission of energy are - largely - cheap and efficient. Getting systems approved and integrated across a morass of local, state, and federal governments, utility companies, and ISOs? Slow and hard.

#green energy #perpetually:#there is a major roadblock #that roadblock consists of a real 'technical' problem (coordination integration and construction of large infrastructure)#and a real 'social' problem (coordinating among gvts. jurisdictions. public and private companies. states. etc for payment & responsibility)#compounded and multiplied by the current structure around that social task (often major improvements rely on some random gvt worker #in a small county in Arizona which does not have enough money to do this work quickly or well #in order to get power to Texas. e.g. And conversely #sometimes it's the structure of a legal requirement for a gvt to pick the cheapest option instead of the best #or the financing incentives that *discourage* utilities from building lr improving transmission lines #or. yknow. american-flavor capitalism aiming for quarterly investor financial reviews yoked to a bureaucracy that moves at 5-year speeds

i can't help but wonder if systems that post their intimate function details online understand just how vulnerable the information they're giving is? i can only figure that they do it because they can barely understand what it means themselves. or perhaps they understand that almost nobody can decipher it. but if you're reading this just ... as a warning. just so you know.

however unlikely it is, that information can be used to manipulate you and get in your head very quickly in the wrong hands. i recommend either being more cautious with that information or building robust defenses if you haven't yet. i know it's comforting to assume it couldn't happen to you but many people's first mistake is placing personal value on being impenetrably strong when that's moreso a skill that developed from either going through obscene hardship, listening deeply to people who have, or both paired with a constant willingness to adapt and evolve to new circumstances.

it's extremely high maintenance. you aren't weak for falling to tactics many people evolved (they evolved the tactics; they're passed down and contributed to by many) to specifically figure out how to make you fall to them.

I don't mean this to say you shouldn't. do whatever you want. i just want you to know. especially since I'll still occasionally run in to shit like minors sharing who their sexual protectors are and stuff...like please, please consider that sometimes that's giving people advisory on how to bypass your defenses.

remember that mistakes aren't personal failures. u just didn't know enough yet. ok i love you the way a stranger can. bye

#the culture of sharing your source and trauma and alter roles in stark public #feels like it was born of people who mass-create systems more than an actual from-community behaviour #demanding to know dangerously intimate details #could never come from a place of sincere consideration of your well being #it's best to at least keep who your most vulnerable are private. and to not share every alters existance with everyone.#and if you can't do that. please try to give them the company of a protector when they're online or something.#watch from the back #not everyone will be as they seem #and they might hurt you on accident toi

I know you change your header often, and the one right now is 👀👀 really good, thank you for your good taste

Hell yeah. I change the header every week - usually something I've recently added to my gifs folder - and when I tested this one it looked just like she was pissing on my head, so naturally it was an instant winner, lmao.

The model's name is Katty West, btw!

#anonymous #katty west #as a general rule I try to only use gifs I've made myself AND only if I know the model's name #or at the very least what the company they work for is called but I prefer knowing their individual names #and I don't post them if they're from private OF vids of course #I might make a few for personal archives but never for public consumption #we now return to your regularly scheduled broadcast
