So, is Danielle smith going to try and blame it on the little sprinkling of renewables that currently is active?

True. It's still a middling way of heating things, though, not the worst. A wood furnace would probably be the worst that still gets used.

And, uh, most people report a heat pump won't work at -35 right now anyway. I'm sure better ones are coming.

Well, that's not an uncommon story around the world. Is there history around the KMT in Miaoli specifically?

Those are answers that don't factor in immigration at all. And are still deceptively complicated.

Housing is an investment, just as much as the foundry that makes the front doorknob. Both are critical to our standard of living, but both also cost a lot of money to put in place. Somebody will have to pay to build more. That could be the government, like you're saying, or it could be developers who are looking to cache in on the high prices and therefor bring them down. Which one should do it is complicated.

Not intractable, though.

Lying is universal, and lying about the thing you attacked is trendy this century.

I wonder if the decision makers in this case knew it was a lie from the start, of if their intelligence people were giving them what they wanted to find. Or maybe both, like the Iraqi WMDs.

Ah, but who will build it? Obviously not immigrants. What if you build housing, but then they can't afford it? What if they're underhoused where they came from, too? And then of course, if we don't take in immigrants and the economy goes in the toilet, all the housing there is might get pretty run down for the elderly Canadians still left.

If you actually read the article, you'll see several examples of how it's complex.

Mostly true, but Stalin also came right out with an essay that called it a fake capitalist concept, so that was part of it. I imagine Truman wouldn't have gotten it either, but as you say in the US you don't need everyone to agree something is a good idea to try it out.

The root problem is having “a bicycle for the mind” in a country that restricts travel.

This is the one I'm less sure about. They had censors but reading and learning approved content was also very encouraged, and in the early days it was a machine mostly just for number crunching. AFAIK computing languished roughly the same way as most basic research did, and Kateryna Yushchenko managed to invent something early anyway.

And people are so conditioned to this they'll probably get away with it.

Maybe, but then they should really ask for my mailing address, which is different. Or, you know, just don't apply their contest policies to a legal settlement.

I had a bit of gas, but that could have just been the fiber. I think I'm good.

Messed up, but not really surprising. All the people evangelical churches send to Africa have made an impact.

That kind of makes sense, I guess. I wonder how expensive one of those machines is.
