In my idea of this at least it would be paired with free education and the creation of big infrastructure projects like rail systems and dams or whatever, so that the government jobs are actually doing something.

It could also result in more teachers in classrooms and better road maintenance for instance.

Obviously it's a bad idea if it's handled poorly.

I think that currently a job guarantee is much more practical and doable, and would have much the same benefits. Why would a company get away with treating you like shit or paying like garbage when you can easily get a government job?

I love arte for francophone stuff, public broadcasting is the best

Claiming we now speak in a chatbot-influenced dialect disregards the beauty of human expression. Language evolves with technology, but that doesn’t mean we’re losing our voice. Instead, we’re blending styles, adapting to new contexts while holding on to our rich heritage. Let’s celebrate this evolution rather than fear it; it reflects our creativity in an ever-changing world!

I'm like a third of the way through it right now, and either the french translation clarifies it or I haven't gotten to the confusing part yet. It's very different from the first book but I don't hate it, it's a good "what would happen after the big heroic tale" that the first book sets up well.

Honestly the city is very good when it's actually properly designed, unlike most north american cities.

TLDR is that living somewhere with good density (2-3 floor condos being the norm) while still having space so it's not crowded, like most places having backyards that connect to the alley sounds like a compromise, but the upside is that you can walk to literally everywhere you could possibly need to go except maybe your job, which is a suprisingly big boon to qol.

I say this because I used to have a similar attitude, but moving from moncton to montreal really changed my mindset.

If you want an example of what I'm talking about you can see the "le plateau" neighborhood in google street view.

That's like 3 grand usd every year, who has that kind of money?

What the fuck? Craziest thing I've seen in the montréal metro was like, a rat.

No I agree that depending on china isn't ideal, but at some point you can't go it alone.

As if the US is a better trade partner, like let's be real
