2·24 hours agoWell another argument they have is the amount of waste that comes with the churn of fiat currency, where we inflate asset values in order to deliberately grow aggregate demand.
The housing bubble for instance was obviously cheap debt, which was used to grow aggregate consumption, by rewarding asset holders thus encouraging them to offload their asset to increase the velocity of money.
On the gold standard the average mortgage was 7 years, which was because there was less need to grow the money supply, because we werent trying to force an inflation target. Massive windfalls werent common, and thus housing wasnt being bid up via the cantillon effect, so was better for society in many ways when consumption wasnt being forced onto people.
Now you can laugh about politically correct jokes, like if you have a lamp why do you need shade?
The world is my safe space.

15·4 days agoBut your taxes won’t go up at all to help pay for it I assume?
In the end all energy sources will win as energy demands continue to rise.
What you’d be doing is taxing existing non-green industries, so investment flees, and Canada’s productivity problem becomes worse. Then you have nothing to make the green industries profitable, because once youre out of somebody elses money you fold.

China does subsidize their electricity, and are self declared communists. It seems like if it goes to corporations it would be more of a Corporatocracy however.
Is this outlined in a plan with feasibility at all, perhaps by a green party, it sounds like it would be an interesting read. Nuclear sounds good, and I know Brookfields Westinghouse does it already, I just dont understand how the other industry would outcompete China in manufacturing. They use coal to produce their solar and wind, and they have all the refining capacity. Which I’d also assume the material refining would need to be carbon free here to satisfy a green party, making us even less competitive in manufacturing green products.
What’s an example of a green industry. The failed battery plant we threw billions at, or reselling Chinese coal produced solar panels?

Unless you mean that the people who made the original law considered birth tourism as a right worth granting?

Its a tough thing, on one hand cheap labor that bypasses labor laws and creates a permanent underclass that rewards corporations with cheap labor and punishes tax paying citizens is obviously bad. But obviously deporting people who dont want to leave is a hard thing to do, and these people are worse off than someone in America would generally be. This is even harder if you live in an area with a housing shortage, and prices are rising faster than existing citizens can save.

266·5 days agoQuite the loophole.
Do you have an example of a city that runs on renewables with battery storage with no duplicate backup base load generator?
As far as I was aware there were none, as it is non-feasible outside of areas with hydro dams for power storage.
