  • “…total goods consumed has to e down at this point”, is the problem. People just do less; it’s also vicious circle. Once housing and food are paid, very little is left. Manufacturing slides, and everyone wants to be a landlord. Increasing the cost of housing. With people buying fewer things, their is less choice. A couple of big monopolies take over the few remaining industries, and over even less choice, as they make cuts. Without disposable time/income, people join fewer clubs, and have fewer hobbies. Wood working, pottery, all cost a fortune.






  • It’s about how successful your parents were. If your dad is a mechanic, has his own shop, then you might want to consider some form of trade school that also teaches the business side of running a shop. Or becoming a machinist to complement his skills, and still make use of his tools and floor space. If you’re going to be a plumber but end up working for a large corporation, because you don’t have capital to start your own business, things will be tougher. You’ll hours might be bad, the pension they offer might not be good.
    Everyone’s situation is different, and the future will be different from now.





  • Such a dumb and badly run country.

    Every TTC subway stop should have a post office in it. The TTC should be run 24hrs a day. You should be able to pick up your package at the post office within the TTC subway stop easily.

    Post offices within the GTHA really should be walking distance for most people. Go pick your package up somewhere close by, open 24hrs.

    Putting post offices in Shoppers Drug Mart isn’t too bad, but it would be better if they where in 24hr donought shops.

    We need to use community postal boxes more.

    We need traffic cameras to automatically ticket couriers that block traffic.

    We need to get ride of this ‘independent contractor’ nonsense. It’s a scam.

    But for this to happen the Fed/Prov/City and Crown Corps all need to work together…so it’ll never happen.
