According to a Leger poll, 64% of Canadians would vote for Kamala Harris, while 21% would support Donald Trump, with 15% undecided. Conservative voters in Canada were nearly evenly split, with 42% supporting Harris and 45% backing Trump.
Trump would lose the election if Canada were a state, barring any electoral college shenanigans.
A long term care bed at a nursing home costs anywhere between $5500 to $20000 monthly. There are many rich, retired people who would have their finances depleted in a few years with a cost that high.
The average middle class individual would never be able to afford that so the fall back is usually medicaid.
The common knowledge among those interested in the history is that Britain insitutionalized and entrenched caste in an administrative framework that never before existed in India.
They generally saw their colonial subjects as tools for financial gain and wished they could stay out of the messy sociologic aspects of how different people may relate to each other. On a more fundamental level, they didn’t see them as people.
They also implicated skin color in caste in a way that it was not previously. Their perception of the world at the time was very much “white = good” and “anything other than white = bad” and they couldn’t help but apply that framework to all human relations.
We generally attribute discoveries to whoever documented it first. It’s almost laughable to attribute it to the French based on a kissing style that was widespread there in 1923. Surely people were doing it before then. Yet, the Americans and British found it so unique they referred to it as French kissing.
Perhaps it was common before ancient India, but then the question is, why didn’t the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, Chinese, Romans, and Greek document on it then?
American culture magnifies it.
Pickup trucks have evolved from work vehicles into powerful status symbols in American culture. While 75% of truck owners rarely or never use them for towing, they purchase these vehicles as symbols of success, masculinity, and lifestyle choice. In urban and suburban areas, professionals spend $70,000+ on trucks as alternatives to luxury cars, particularly in Southern states where they represent wealth and power. The trend continues growing, with trucks now accounting for 20% of U.S. vehicle sales. Despite minimal towing usage, truck owners display the highest vehicle loyalty rate, with nearly 80% choosing another truck when replacing their current one.
Meanwhile China is slowly working towards global dominance in the EV space which we all know is the future.
The American empire is in that stage of decay where the men are actively lying to themselves about their greatness. The whole manosphere (which originated in the US) is based on that premise.
As they feel themselves sliding further and further into the periphery of relevance, they’ll elect increasingly fascist leaders to try and reassert their dominance, only to be swindled by those they put into power.
It’s all downhill from here.
Many if not most men are like this. It’s usually their wives or another woman in their lives that drags them in when something is about to fall off. It’s another way in which husbands leave 71% of a household’s ‘mental load’ on their wives, down to their own well being.
Bill Gates’ net worth has grown substantially despite his philanthropy, rising from $126.8 billion in early 2023 to $156 billion in December 2024.
Regarding COVID-19 vaccines, Gates actively opposed patent waivers and influenced Oxford University to privatize its vaccine through AstraZeneca rather than keep it open-source. He pushed for maintaining intellectual property rights through COVAX, despite public funding supporting vaccine development.
Not a good guy by any metric.
