  • It’s about how successful your parents were. If your dad is a mechanic, has his own shop, then you might want to consider some form of trade school that also teaches the business side of running a shop. Or becoming a machinist to complement his skills, and still make use of his tools and floor space. If you’re going to be a plumber but end up working for a large corporation, because you don’t have capital to start your own business, things will be tougher. You’ll hours might be bad, the pension they offer might not be good.
    Everyone’s situation is different, and the future will be different from now.









  • The government is too easy on crime and we grant people bail who are dangerous to release.

    The left has dropped the ball on crime. Official lefty party lines on crime, of tolerating criminals, doesn’t resonate with ordinary people.

    Gun control is a waste of time and money and isn’t tackling the real issue as nearly all gun crime isn’t committed by legal gun owners.

    The right has created a wedge issue, and exploited it with Twitter trolls and paid shills. We’d be better off doing what Australia did, and ban almost everything.

    More housing needs to be made (note that both major parties seem to agree on this).

    The right sees it as building more housing, and think it is a simple fix. A small proportion of progressive voices see it as a complex issue of finance and trying to remove corporate ownership of residential stock. The subtle arguments have a hard time being heard.

    More infrastructure needs to be built to capitalize on our oil and natural resources exports.

    I’ve given up mostly, the planet will burn. Our species is too stupid, eventually we’ll go extinct. Climate will degrade, wars will escalate, and sooner or latter someone will push The Button.
