> 1 USD buys nearly $1.40 CAD.

Right before Trump (2024), 1.42 CAD at the top. During Trump, barely hits 1.40 CAD, one time it touched 1.37 CAD.

Majority weren’t billionaires when they started their successful companies.

Their successful companies (the employees) and the government, policies, and environment around them are the things that make them successful.

Billionaires mostly hoard assets. Important assets that you need (not want, need) to live.

The future is we all gonna go to war when there's no more juice to squeeze by the billionaires.

The future is coming in hot. Just look at what's happening lately.

US seems the only western nation with high trust issue with its own government.

Aussie, Canada, much of the Europe have no issue.

Diversity in property means condos with various configurations, rowhouses, townhouses, multiplex (duplex, quadplex, sixplex).

Where I live, the local government decided to remove zoning thereby allowing more varieties of properties.

Price comes down in the sense that the missing middle provide options between condo to townhouse to detached

Someone reminds me all the time: consider AI as “companions” and “opinions”.

AI (adhd, neurodivergence) entrepreneurs took opinions and made them facts.

It takes certain personalities to lead an AI company.

It’s more likely that there are more western VC propaganda here than CCP.

The HN of Paul Graham era had finished.

This is the HN of Sam Altman and Gary Tan era.

Different VC/capitalist mindset

You don’t need those type to immigrate. You just need to export the ideology which is what happened to Alberta, the Texas of Canada.

Where in the article it suggested the spread due to immigration?

If any, it is due to misinformation and reluctance of those communities (mentioned specifically Alberta rural, y’know, the province that has been burned with misinformation, public health scandal, crazy Premier that has been stoking Separatism while cozying with MAGA that has threatened Canada sovereignty)

"move up the value chain" assuming:

1. the next level opportunity exist

2. proper training (we all know that's pipe dream)

3. fits what these folks are looking for (for some, repetitive jobs == less stress than "creative" jobs).

but what about glut of workers == depress wage?

> How realistic is this plan that is the question.

FTA:

Amazon has considered steps to improve its image as a “good corporate citizen” in preparation for the anticipated backlash around job losses, according to The NYT, reporting that the company considered participating in community projects and avoiding terms like “automation” and “AI.” More vague terms like “advanced technology” were explored instead, and using the term “cobot” for robots that work alongside humans.

Look around you: middle class is shrinking all over the world despite hi-tech advancements.

Adjusting with inflation and everything else, are people better off today than in the 80s?

Automation (and AI) was sold to reduce cost of living but in reality it's all about maximizing profits.

we realized that we don't want all the money/profit to circulate around the top 10 tech companies in the world where all of us are out of the equation...

All the spending cuts DOGE did wasn’t for Americans. It’s for the rich elite.

You have a good point except slightly misguided.

The rich wants more tax breaks so they can gobble up more money and own more assets at US citizens expense.

How’s that sound?
