This is amazing, thanks for sharing

American banknotes have numbers on them to easily distinguish the different values!

Oh man I forgot about this feature! It's really great except that I don't wear my watch so I just ask my wife to call me instead

>plenty of Canadians

I specifically asked about serious people, not the electorate at large.

>why should we support us automakers

Because the US is Canada's sole defense.

I know! That's the point! I've spent hundreds of dollars to have a vibrating alarm....

Apple Watch's killer feature is the alarm. It is so much more pleasant to be woken up silently by your watch vibrating than your phone beeping. And then knowing exactly where you can find your watch to hit snooze (on your wrist) vs reaching for your phone.

That's the only feature I use my watch for. It sits on the charger all day waiting for me to wear at night.

>That’s true for pretty obvious reasons

Illegal immigration can best be thought of as a slow-moving constitutional crisis. An increasingly large portion of the electorate wants decisive solutions to illegal immigration and will vote for the person who gives them that, regardless of the constitutionality.

lol breaking asylum laws is bad but breaking immigration laws is fine.

Yes! Well stated. 33% of illegals would be a huge win, while also aiming at self deportations by targeting incentives.

>when they can just cross the border

This is also a choice for the people in charge of the border. Enforcing a border is a solved problem for a rich, large-population nation.

Thank you I will read these!

I wish I had written this. I think the exact same thing but you articulated it much better than I have been able to.

Real question: Is any serious person advocating Canada abandon the West for China? What's their analysis here? If anyone has an article I can read I would love to do that.

HN seems to hate this but you're right. The type of people the military relies on are not in power in Canada and haven't been for some time.

>The problem is that the USA our greatest ally isn't letting us use them as a shield.

I personally think that Canada can be our (US) greatest ally, but this is only true in the hard-power sense of the word if Canada does actually meet its defense obligations.

Canada has a huge coastline, directly adjacent to our most significant threats (China & Russia), yet doesn't have a navy to speak of.

We need Canada to step up to its own defense so we can keep being equal allies, otherwise Canada is a de facto protectorate and should pay for that privilege.

When someone is eating the food that you and your children need to eat, you should probably consider that an act of war.

>it feels, tangibly, like it’s worth a billion

Lot of feeling going on in this comment, but that's not really how money works.

>"hey guys, us too!"

In what context? This isn't fashion, being the 2nd mover has benefits which often outweigh the costs.

Are you trying to say that Pharma R&D is ~ $10-20B to yield 1 approved therapy? 10 * $1-2B "at bats" = 1 run?

Honestly it doesn't sound that bad considering these pharma revenues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_biomedical_com...

And what food do we as a society think is appropriate for them to afford? That is, what structure (social services, etc) do we need to have in place to enable that should-statement

A causal link.

Beef is not causally linked to diabetes.

American cows lead very good lives, up to including death. Better than pretty much any mammal on earth except for humans and 1st world pets.

This is a Netflix-political-drama enthusiast's understanding of lobbying. Turn off House of Cards or whatever and try to build something.

This is a long rant about your perception of farmers which puts your hate and condescension of them on full display.

Idk (and idc) if it's a personal or political thing but either way I'm not engaging further.

This assumes no such thing.

Industry advocacy groups ≠ corruption.

They're basically necessary to do business in an advanced society that has rules governing every aspect of life. Those rules (even if good) often have unintended consequences and advocacy groups can help ensure that their industries are considered when rule-making.
