This. So much this. This is why pretty much everything is safer with good regulation and why everything is dangerous as all hell under unbridled capitalism. I'm looking at you internet...

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

The Canadian political landscape is fundamentally shifting under Prime Minister Mark Carney. To be informed participants in our democracy, Canadians have GOT to recognize this reality. Let me explain:

Jason Kenney hopefully amplifying reports that Carney might be open to privatizing our healthcare. If this ends up having even a lick of truth — which there is no reason to believe right now — it would be horrifying for our country. Don’t even think about it, Carney. Please.

Jason Kenney tweets “encouraging if true” in response to a post from second street.org, which is a group I’m not familiar with but is apparently a free market ideology think tank lol. More on their post in the next pic and alt textSecondStreet.org, which is apparently a free market think tank, posts on Twitter alongside a photo of carney: “Prime Minister Carney is taking a different approach to provincial health care reform. Rather than discouraging innovation, his government appears open to Alberta testing policies already used in many high-performing universal health care systems around the world - including the policy of letting patients choose between using the public system or paying for private treatment. When millions of Canadians struggle to access care, new ideas deserve a fair hearing. Read the open letter and learn more:”

My upcoming book is absolutely packed to the brim with em dashes—more em dashes than any well-adjusted human being could possibly need or want—and if any of you tries to claim they are the result of some soulless LLM rather than my own unhinged compulsion I will fight you.

Canada Day extreme weather brought to you by climate change, which Carney announced yesterday we can’t afford to properly fight 🤗

It’s a national holiday, but I’m working — because Prime Minister Mark Carney made what I’d argue will be one of the most consequential announcements of his time in office yesterday. Canada, under Carney, is abandoning major goals in our fight against the climate crisis. Here's what's going on:

How come we can have bread price fixing class action lawsuits in Canada but its just, like, fine that gas prices fluctuate wildly and in a coordinated way between all sellers in an area and that is somehow fine? WTF is that?

Good news everyone, a book I'm in just got published! Do I have access to the finished product at this time? No. Can I share my chapter with you yet? No. Am I going to receive a print version of the book I contributed to without compensation? No. Is academic publishing completely fucked? Yes.
