Je serais partant de voir des Ă©lections anticipĂ©es juste parce la CAQ a tellement saignĂ© nos institutions publiques quâelles sont presque toutes aux portes de la mort. Des rumeurs de grĂšves chez Hydro-QuĂ©bĂ©c circulent depuis quelques temps. Câest sans compter les profs, infirmiĂšres, TeC, etc

Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpracticeâwhen you pray for something you have the power to change.

SSRIs are NOT the problem. Restricting them, which is exactly what he wants to do, WILL kill countless people. The USA needs gun control + a guns buy-back program to reduce their number in circulation. In parallel, they need better mental health care and to strengthen their social safety net.

Thatâs only a risk during the first few weeks of trying new medication. Once people have found the right drug and adjusted to them, the risks fall back to nearly zero.

Ultimately, this is why Iâve always believed there is no case for accelerationism. The most vulnerable people, those with whom weâre supposed to stand in solidarity, are those who suffer the most from social collapse. To me, sacrificing them feels more like class treason than class solidarity
Paul Jean (@paulwillyjean.bsky.social) reply parent
From an accelerationist point of view, youâre already past the rubicon. All further moves to escalate tensions to the point of revolt effectively serve to embolden and consolidate power in the hands of fascists. The situation should never have been allowed to escalate to this point.

Je me rappelle que, ce printemps, Nintendo considĂ©rait de retarder le lancement de sa nouvelle console au Canada parce que sa chaĂźne de logistique N-A Ă©tant basĂ©e aux Ă-U, il devenait trop compliquĂ© dâĂ©viter la zone tarifaire amĂ©ricaine.
Paul Jean (@paulwillyjean.bsky.social) reply parent
Plusieurs marchants utilisent des services de distribution amĂ©ricains comme ShipperHQ pour livrer leurs produits. Si, Ă nâimporte quel moment, ces paquets transitent par un centre de distribution ou un entrepĂŽt amĂ©ricain, ils pourraient aussi ĂȘtre touchĂ©s par ces nouveaux tarifs.

Itâs both, really. Cats are known to kill just for the fun or for practice. They breed extremely quickly and have few natural predators. House cats, especially, live very long lives. All those factors push their population much higher than what their environment can sustain.
