I imagine solvent banking institutions, retirement funds and the like are something that most people seriously need but barely think about. If the most valuable listed American company finds its value plummetting from 4 trillion to a few billion, there will be all sorts of fun and interesting revelations about the entire American financial system.

That being said, you are absolutely welcome to post your own memes which meet your specifications!

I hope to fuck it’s fake.

Thank you!

My God, I love this as a new meme format.

Dumb question, is there an easy imgflip equivalent for adding a static header like that to an animated gif?

Rural communities already overwhelmingly use community post boxes. If the proposed changes really disadvantage rural folks, then that’ll be something to change.

Postal service is very different from everything else you listed. The reason we’re pumping so much money into those is that money should act as a significant multiplier for creating jobs and moving money through tbe economy.

Subsidizing the Post, while creating a better service doesn’t have the same sort of multiplier benefit, other than the Keynesian hole digging style of employment.

I may not love the climate effects of some of these projects but from a “will these employ people and get a decent amount of money closing through the economy”, the answer is pretty definitively yes.

I’m not sure how the Postal service could be used to help our friends in Ukraine or deter Russian aggression in Europe, but open to suggestions!

Wait, they’re still in a budget hole after this plan? That’s some union!

(Canada Post is on track to cost 1.5 billion over costs in 2025, so almost $40 for each of the 40ish million Canadians including children etc.)

Most of those are handled provincially and I can’t speak for other provinces but BC at least is using federal transfer ms (which budget cuts elsewhere help fund) to help hire more nurses and firefighters.

I’m torn. I don’t want anyone to lose their jobs but I don’t love subsidizing reasonably expensive jobs that don’t provide much in surplus value compared to say, teachers, nurses, firefighters etc, all of whom we desperately need.

This reminds me of the bags of sand moment in 40 year old virgin.
