  • I was talking to someone about this very same postal issue, and his example was DHL. “Privatization turned them around! They’re now an international company!!!”

    Why the fuck does canada post need to be competing internationally? Just deliver the mail and have a gov’t presence in small towns to provide other services.

    Just spend the money to service canadians… It doesnt have to be profitable nor an international competitor

    Also, DHL sucks…

    Had privatization ever worked out? Like, ever?

    Yes. It works out really nicely for our oligarchs.




  • Hey, i fall into the dentist group! But i totally advocate for bike lanes, and i’m not white…

    There are dozens of us at the local critical mass ride!!! I make it a point to show up in my ridiculous spandex gear to show people the dentists aren’t all assholes. Also, good spandex is really comfy.

    Why the hate?? Yeah i sunk a lot of money into my hobby, but thats what people do. People spend tens of thousands on camera gear, gaming rigs, etc. Why hate on others’ expensive hobbies?

    I’m actually not that rich, but living car free and biking every day has allowed me to allocate a lot of money towards my hobbies. Cars are a total money sink… 10yrs ago it was around $6k/year TCO. I’m sure it’s more now…

    You should put an additional qualifier on your dentist description… Carries their $20k bike on top of their $80k SUV. Drives 2 hours out of the city just to ride around for an hour…



  • Yeah, but then its majka’s job to be the road captain and give new instructions. I can just imagine the convo when majka joined del toro in the valley…

    RM: “YOU LET YATES TAKE HOW MANY MINUTES???”
    IDT: “DS told me to stay with carapaz…”
    RM: “OK, we close the gap now. Brandon and i will pace you up the final climb”
    IDT: “nah, i’m good fam…”

    Like, bro, burn that energy earlier when it mattered.

    Everyone is able to do a 5 second flat sprint no matter how tired… It doesnt mean you didnt empty the tank on a climb…
