Not an expert by any means, two years does seem long. Have you seen similar properties in that location go for the same price? Or take as long to sell? Are they getting people in to see the place?

Since I know nothing in this area my usual approach for this kind of thing is to see what other things that are similar look like.

We got jack and shit, and jack left town (ref).

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't

WHAT. He sold beans for money in his first term, of course he's making money off of it.

I don't think he's smart enough to actually take advantage of this.

This is one of his major MO's making money, maybe he missed the first few times, but he's done it so much now that he's for sure making money on these bets, just like every supporter he's got out there.

Why do you think he walked away from the table because of the DST, because he cares about gig tech? They paid him -- that's why they got seats at his inauguration.

And before you say anything, no he will not learn his lesson.

Disagree, this is a lesson reinforces itself, I bet he continues this way. I'm not saying he's smart, just greedy.

I guess we'll find out in time, but that's sort of my point. Trump's well known to fold (TACO), maybe he would have shown up to the table anyway, or written us a letter!

What did we get, cause it sure does seem like nothing.

I liked Jagmeet, and the NDP platform (well what i understood of it), if i wasn't worried that PP would get in they would have gotten my vote. I did feel that he didn't stand a chance of getting in.

I did read Carney's book (values), i found it extremely difficult to read, and said a lot without saying anything. I don't think he would get my vote if not for PP.

I'd like to see a rule that any politician voted in must work in an aid camp in a warzone to be elegable for office. Or maybe spend a year as an average citizen in their country.

I think people didn't vote for Carny as much as against PP. It's a bit sad that he is following the old playbook.

I hear you, and i agree. I don't understand how to achieve it though, a tax on net worth, with brackets starting at 100 million? Wouldn't they just move their money over a place that would hide it?

The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary.

What?! 3% We pay 8.79% on our income here. Three seems low.

I feel like no facebook in canada would be a net positive, especially after reading "Carless people". I don't even think that would happen, it's not like these companies can't afford it, they just don't want to set a precedent, and they spent all that money on trump!

I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

You never use Amazon? I also use an adblocker and a pihole i think i see relatively fewer ads, i still see them.

The one negative i can think of coming out of this is the companies passing the tax on to us, i suspect that wouldn't happen.

the parent of this thread thinks it's stupid, and got up voted but like zero explanation. Looking at their post history they don't seem like a bot

I don't get the hate, it seems like about time these ultra rich companies paid some taxes?
