The year is 2039, life is hard.

Just used the last of the clean water, food is almost unobtainable.

“Thanks Obama”

$442 Wait, new us price (since its built in china, for a Japanese company) is $1000

I don’t live in the states, but the reliance on driving here is real. Small towns are lucky to have one grocery store and are usually very expensive.

I guess where I am there is limited fresh food available anyway. Other then breadstuffs and the odd tomato/lettuce the stuff I get at the store has to last at least 2 weeks. Also might be why I appreciate my garden so much.

Inertia

72 hours of food is crazy to me. I would be making a trip to the store when down to maybe a week or two.

Guess Europe really does shop different.

Windows 7 is such a nice user experience today, if you use it in 2025 you really get an idea of how far windows has fallen off.

This is kinda funny, just thinking someone believes you can “trade in” a PC at all. Even more so when they are trying to say those same Windows 10 machines will be so useless you need to trade them in in the first place, making the value of such a trade in what, next to nothing?

But why can we not have button phones as well? I miss tactile feedback.

Why as not an american you used “miles”?

Are you sure you are replying to the correct comment? I am not american and yes I too have no say in their system, but “less bad” is still bad.

Not sure why you think commenting on geopolitics and other nations economic policy means you need to fall to the same BS they have. Even less that making comments somehow gives us a say.

Maybe from Telus/Rogers/Bell media. Its an issue really, the pro Canadian telecom propaganda is very much a thing here. I am told I have “great internet available” even where I am and then if I try to actually get it they ether say never mind or try and give me a cell modem. I am not alone on this ether, its a major issue.

I don’t think its “compared” to the Rs but just in general they are good for “rich ppl yacht” money. Your instant move to compare the two parties (making bad policy OK by comparing it to “OH FUCK” policy) is why the usa is in the state it is now.

The GTA is not really indicative of Canada at this point. It is the center of the universe after all…

Oh no, oh dear everything no. Maybe in a few cities sure, but where I am I literally have no functioning internet anymore (they let the lines degrade below 1 Mbps) and have massive patches where cell phones don’t work at all (love when I hit a antelope and have to stand on the roof of my car to maybe get enough signal to call a tow).

Like no joke we have the worst and most expensive telecom in the developed (and a lot of the developing) world.

Yes, a bump in the world markets. On US news. A trend I hope we see less of in the future.

But sadly increased latency. Also don’t hold your breath on Canada telecom anything, we have a history of being the worst at it.

Smart. It was the the hope of a business man coming in and doing things good for the market (not for people mind you, wall st is not that out of touch)

I like the little hopeful bump before the inauguration.

If they bring their own small train, that one fjord is done for.
