Yes, I agree on the alcohol tax re. Healthcare costs. However, I ferment my own drinks and I'd like to point out the irony of buying raw ingredients + yeast, vs buying a prepared drink. It's like you are getting taxed for convenience as a deterrent.

Lol this is just a joke... Food should have always been completely tax free! Two weeks?!? What kind of circus is this?? Is he trying to buy votes for $250/pop? I'm amazed at what they come up with next.

Just go for it bro /s

What a weird question...

Fair points

What do you mean in your second sentence?

No, bombs and the defence industry was not was I was on about. I see your point. Yes there's been some downturn recently, but the tech industry has always been cyclical. It's difficult to get hired today, and there's certainly favoritism towards senior employees.

My point was simply about economics; supply and demand. In my university, about half of all degrees issued are in the arts. If employers want someone with that kind of training, then they have all of the selection in the world. Compare this to a tech company. If a tech company wants to expand their business and they need to implement a technology to do that, depending on what technology it is, there might be like, 1k.. maybe 100k, maybe 1M people on the planet that have that specialty? Employers are going to pay a lot more for a person with that kind of training.

Supply and demand. There's less people in STEM so they get paid more.

I straight up never got a nice answer from StackOverflow on this. Say you have 5 classes, each requiring access to the data members/functions of the others. What's a nice way to solve this problem? I've thought of only two nice methods:

• Pass pointers/shared-pointers etc to each class, but not through the constructor but a setter function
• Pass lambdas or std::function everywhere. Yuck! Still doesn't put each object in a valid state in the constructor.

blasphemy!

void main(int argc, char ** argv, char ** envp)
