I know, and that makes me even less inclined to have sympathy for the TSA as a whole. I know I should feel bad for the people working at the TSA, but I can’t.

And yet I can feel for them more, If the TSA was gone tomorrow I could not care.
I get it, but having people feel bad for the TSA of all organizations is a tall order. Why not pick a less controversial gov agency effected like say the National Parks and Museums?
And they got ordered back to work, since fuck them I guess.
11·11 days agoMost people don’t even care and did not know this even started, its just another failed attempt of the current government to gain support.
This one is extra silly, but the silver lining is that it has got people of drastically different political viewpoints something to agree on. You could have a talk show with the most rabid pundits from opposite sides discuss this and the only arguments would be what the worst part of this plan is.
There is also another component to this as well, everyone is supposed to get $250 in the mail (or direct deposit). And that’s also just bad tax policy that has been made fun of in the past. On top of that they have not managed to actually pass legislation or even figured out how to do this at this point. Oh and the post office is still on strike.
Yeap, this is Canada where stuff like this is rolled out in a month or so and businesses are just told to comply.
(Oh and those examples are from the Canada.ca official list not hyperbole)
Edit: it also comes with a friendly threat!
"Make a reasonable effort to comply
Businesses who make reasonable efforts to comply with the legislation will not be the focus of our compliance actions.
We will be focusing on situations where businesses willfully and egregiously refuse to comply with the temporary measures, such as a business that collects the GST/HST and does not remit it to the CRA."
I am just really glad none of the crap I sell is included. The list and logistics to comply with this “holiday” is insane.
Lets say you run a liquor store:
- Beer, cider, sake and wine are now not taxed
- But wine, cider and sake over 22.9% is still taxed
- Spirit coolers and premixed alcoholic beverages are now not taxed
- Spirit coolers and premixed alcoholic beverages over 7% are still taxed
- Gift boxes/baskets are taxed
- Unless those boxes/baskets have more then 90% the value in beverages that meet the tax holiday requirements
This is not even opening the other categories (Oh don’t even think about child car seat/strollers). The cost of this program on stores and taxpayers (the cost of it is payed by the lack of tax and also the tax collected being diverted to this program) is not worth the 5% off some people will see (since most places will just up the price 5%).
Edit: and as the radio just pointed out this is a tax break on mostly luxury goods so it only really helps the people who don’t need the help. (the example given was a dinner party would be 5% cheaper but a single parent’s heat is not).
Yet its more expensive then the normal cheese mix here. Its vile stuff that makes melted plastic seem edible. The “cheese” at 7-11 (that contains no dairy) is 1000 times more cheese then it and is still avoided by most sober people.
Urgh, here in Canada they tried to trick us with “delux” kraft dinner. Velveeta is so bad that I avoid name brand KD to this day due to one time over a decade ago. How in the artificial fuck do americans eat that stuff?
6·14 days agoNot if you get the wrong type of pleasure out of those rifles I guess…
They did this already:
This is how we get crap like “soaking”, can’t wait for what ever ludicrous thing is next.
1·17 days agoThank you, glad it was just a bone headed ploy. I will put an edit in.
I find it reported by more then one news thinger, so I feel conformable cross posting it since is fits here. You should provide something other then the logical equivalent to “Naw, I don’t trust it” if you want to be on a high horse.
This is not a reputable news agency, this is an online forum. This story is unconfirmed from a second source, but more then good enough for here. Oh and I will be happy to provide the “small” enterprise’s response/rebuttal to these allegations, if and when they do.
unsubstantiated claims like this can destroy small businesses. There are dozens of examples of this happening.
The small business with hundreds of employees that has been on a major TV show? That one?
So far there are a few stories covering it, only time will tell how real it is.
I am watching the small amount of English news to see if the joke is real or not.
As is tradition.
