SpaceX and Tesla have prospered in Texas, because we were not constantly operating under an oppressive and extractive state government.
And I need to be close to the factories, so that I can walk the floor in person. That’s why the first major SpaceX factory was in LA and first major Tesla factory was in SF Bay Area.
As California became increasingly difficult, due to extreme taxes and overregulation, we moved our major domestic expansions and HQ to Texas.
Canada in a nutshell. Living in the past. No clue about the reality of our current situation.
This guy should be fired @CTVNews.
This is EXACTLY why people don’t trust the media.
Maybe he can get a job at The Breakdown.

It's appalling that the victory of one party or another means that a private citizen and his businesses, none of which have been accused of breaking the law, would suddenly be targeted by the government. That's pure Third World and should outrage everyone. latimes.com/business/story/2…

People are sometimes like "Carney is basically governing as a conservative!" but this budget of his really dispels that. His is truly a vision of a government-planned economy, down to which sports people should be playing.

What is so bananas about an article arguing that Canada needs even more government involvement to improve its economy is that, by many key metrics, the government's economic footprint is the largest it's been in 25 years. Employment, CAPEX, Consumption, and Taxes are just a few examples I've shared in the chart below.
What does Canada have to show for it? A Productivity Emergency. Anemic private-sector CAPEX. Pitiful competition in Banking, Telecoms, and Transport. Net FDI Outflows. A 30-year low in R&D spend. Business birth collapse. Zero Equity IPOs. NYMBYs. Impact Assessments. Ethnic vetos. Mushrooming manufacturing regulations. Withering economic freedom. Censorship. Mass media bias. Historic hospital wait times. It goes on and on and on.
Canada's problem is NOT a lack of government; it is that there is way too much government involvement. They pick winners, punish productivity, suppress talent, scare away what moves, tax what doesn't and squander billions; it's everywhere and in everything.
And the results? abysmal.
It may be time for a different approach.

Every shred of evidence to the contrary!

Bots dominate X and drive division. This platform needs a solution.
Sick of watching people lose it over some intentionally insane statement from a bot that is only meant to create division.

Rapidly cycling between "prepare for AI to phase out your job" and "your country needs millions of new migrants to fill all the jobs"
Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing growing pressure from business groups to allow more immigration to address Canada’s labor needs, but the prospect of welcoming more migrants carries political risk for him bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

This is the single most insightful thing I have ever heard about the changing landscape of modern business. Haters are gonna hate, but there is a reason he is the most successful venture capitalist of all time. And no, it's not just luck.

Fun fact: the country with the most affordable groceries is the country with the most rocket launches and the most billionaires.

If you are opposed to involuntary care, ask yourself honestly: if this was you, what do you hope would happen?

If you listen carefully it’s a misplaced anger at his own parents for not making him feel worthy that turned into raging jealousy of other children who had parents that lifted them up and poured into them. He’s projected all of that onto white people. He needs to mend his heart before thinking about running for any office. White ppl haven’t hurt him. He knows exactly who did. Notice how he doesn’t get the satisfaction he was craving when the interviewer simply anchors himself & doesn’t validate that experience. We should all do more of this. Don’t validate anyone’s experience for the sake of temporary bonding.

This seems like an open admission that the elite retains veto power over the electorate. You may choose - but only options acceptable to us, your anointed transnational overlords.
