Alcohol is bad for you too. Are you going to ban that?
I wish they did. My father died of alcoholism.
It’s generational discrimination
You mean, like between the people who lived and died without being able to smoke cannabis legally and those who now can?
Every single law ever approved has created a barrier between those who lived before the law was approved and those who lived after. Public health care, public pensions, everything.
I can lend money to others without them as middlemen
Private banks are highly regulated businesses to avoid fraud and maintain the trust and stability of the financial system. They also play a key role in the creation of money supply. Banks literally create money when they issue a loan, something no other business can do.
and at the same time they seem to suggest that having money in banks is not risk-free
Because it isn't 100% risk free: your bank can default and if your cash balance exceeds the amount that is insured by the government you can lose that excess.
The central bank cannot go bankrupt because it issues its own currency. You could experience the effects of inflation, but you would be protected from bankruptcy.
That's why authorities are concerned about allowing citizens to hold their savings in central bank accounts.
You mean mixing businesses and residential units in the same walkable neighborhood like we've done for thousands of years? That would never work! We must maximize commuting distances in order to reduce traffic and commuting times.
Bugs gone in two days represents the experience of the only two independent instances where people I know had to deal with bedbugs. Your experience may be different and I respect that.
In both instances the professionals wanted to spray insecticide as I described, too.
No offense
L-O-L
☮️✌️
You do you. A professional will ask you to move all your furniture, spray insecticide everywhere, come back two weeks later to repeat the same process again to kill the newly hatched eggs, and tell you that it is quite likely that the bugs will come back, so further rounds may be needed.
Diatomaceous earth pops up on every discussion because it works. Bugs gone in a couple of days, because D.E. sticks around to kill any larvae that hatch over the following weeks.
What makes you think Canada will take half a million refugees? UNHCR indicates that we have welcomed a little over a million since 1980.
The death of babies lowers life expectancy a lot more than the death of seniors. Since COVID predominantly kills the elderly, it means that if life expectancy is going down then COVID must still be really mowing seniors down, even though vaccines are available.
Diatomaceous earth kills the little bastards and it is non-hazardous to humans, as long as you don't snort the stuff.
Apparently for them is like walking on broken glass and they bleed do death, so to speak.
My sister had an infestation long ago and it was very effective. You can find the stuff online easily.
The best time to start was two generations ago. The second best time is now.
Allow mixed-use 3-5 story buildings everywhere, remove parking minimums, and watch how transit corridors fill with liveable neighborhoods.
There is probably no horror comparable to burying one of your children.
At the same time, I don't believe anybody should be forced to live when they no longer want to. Suicidal ideation doesn't come out of nowhere, it is the consequence of a tormented life where the desire to stop suffering eventually overcomes the fear of dying.
I hope all involved find peace.
