1 licensed rideshare driver for every 37 Torontonians is not enough!

Let's get the ratio down to 1 driver for every 2 Torontonians. Yeah!

80,000 rideshare drivers earning $5/per hour after all expenses is too high!

Let Dickensonian era capitalism reign supreme!

Uber should be regulated and driver payouts mandated to be atleast at minimum wage after expenses and taxes.
They are ripping drivers off today.

John Tory allowed this mess to happen.

He was in thrall with Uber and allowed them to run amok all over Toronto.

And of course Doug Fraud is missing in action because he is smitten with wild, wild west capitalism.

Nice mental gymnastics.
I linked to my actual post.
Try again John Larue. You are glitching hard today.
i do not give a rats ass what you linked to
your posts are evasive
you are asked simple questions but refuse to answer
AKA the Justin Trudeau approach to communication

I am not surprised.
Because if you cared you wouldn't be able to accuse me of being evasive because that post I linked is nothing but direct.
As I said when cornered you resort to childish repetition.

None of my posts were evasive.
I wrote in plain English.
You refuse to read because that is part of your mental gymnastics.
So here it is again:
Thanks for reminding everyone about your failed argument.

From your response:
"The public sector is more valuable because they provide essential services.
They build roads, they provide city infrastructure, they regulate profit making industries that makes consumption easier, they provide healthcare, pensions, employment insurance, pay for disability, employ law enforcement, EMTs, defend the nation and enact laws to promote an attractive business environment etc., "



There is the proof that you don't comprehend that if it wasn't for private business, there wouldn't be any "government money".

I hope you are just joking and not serious because if you're serious, that's scary and sad.

Hey, your homework for tonight is learning about supply & demand. Here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/law-of-supply-demand.asp

I know it will be difficult for you to rip yourself away from your nightly reading of the Communist Manifesto, but give it a try...for all of us...we believe in you comrade!

You are now engaged in a circular argument.
Mental gymnastics.
If the government didn't print money, or regulate laws, there wouldn't be an economy to play in.
As I said the flow of money isn't under discussion.
The discussion is who is more valuable?
Who provides the most essential services?
That is the public sector.
Remove the public sector and you'd have a collapsing economy and a revolution on your hands.

cornered ?
that's too funny
I have made no indefensible statements to get cornered with

you are one who painted himself in a corner with your very strange and ridiculous statements

illegals are not criminals
AOC is not the fembot carbon copy of the socialist idiot Trudeau.
The private sector is a reference to businesses. Not people.
Hence the public sector/government is the most important. - you are so clueless
This is just reality not socialism. >>>>>>>>the ideal so evil that you deny its existence

when asked direct questions, you do not provide direct answers
the first two were direct yes/ no questions , yet you refused to answer yes or no

you are pathetic

If you could defend your statements you wouldn't be afraid to read my post even after linking it directly.
So yes, you get cornered and then lash out and resort to childish repetition.

No the flow of money is the actual argument because you stated that the government bails out corporations and you fail to understand that the government gets their money from corporations.
Without the private sector there would be no public sector.
You keep looking foolish but it's fun for me to keep you responding with nonsense.

No it is not.
You want to create a chicken-egg argument and go in circles.
That is your mental gymnastics at play trying to move goalposts because otherwise you'd have to no excuse than to admit the truth.
The government facilitates the environment in which the private sector exists.
It is the public sector that provides all essential services and infrastructure, and laws that allow the private sector to succeed.
But keep up with your mental gymnastics.
This isn't my first rodeo taking apart your twisted narratives.

this is so wrong
The government facilitates the environment in which the private sector exists.
the reality in a capitalist democracy is
The government attempts to regulate the environment in which the private sector exists. and they are not always effective and definitely never efficient in their regulation efforts

govt is entirely dependant on the private sector
A parasite dies if it kills the host

It is the public sector that provides all essential services and infrastructure, and laws that allow the private sector to succeed.
there would not be a need for food banks if this were true
there would not be an affordability crisis if this were true
there would not be boil water advisories if this were true
there would not be skilled labor shortages if this were true
there would not be access to capital issue for start up business ventures if this were true
there would not be traffic jams & sardine subways if this were true
there would not be health care wait times > 1 month if this were true
there would not be an increase in Canadians seeking private health care in the US if this were true
there would not be inter provincial trade barriers if this were true
there would not be any govt subsidies if this were true
there would be armed forces ready to defend our country if this were true
there would be 4 brand new privately own pipelines if this were true
there would be secure boarders if this were true
there would not be a need for a GST tax holiday if this were true
there would not be a carbon tax if this were true
there would not be frozen bank accounts for protestors if this were true
there would not be enormous public debt if this were true
there would not be enormous and restrictive public debt interest payments if this were true

your entire argument is based upon the utopian socialist ideal
And this is a failed ideal
good lord man , we tried the socialist experiment in Canada and now everything is a mess
Do you think yo will get it right next time ? NO !

The very best thing our govt can do is shrink and let the private sector create wealth for the country

I wont read all that drivel.
But your life is good because of democratic socialism here in Canada.
While CEOs are getting gunned down in the streets because their greedy decisions cost lives.
If you think it is that bad you can tag along with Jordan Petersen and move to the shit hole down south.
Make sure to pack your tin foil hat and your guns.

I see, So you are waving the white flag of surrender
touch a nerve did I?

But your life is good because of democratic socialism here in Canada.
bullshit
my life is good for a lot of reasons including sound decisions and working smarter , not due to govt
life would be even better with a smaller govt & so would Canadians as a whole

i would have frozen or starved long ago if not for the public sector

While CEOs are getting gunned down in the streets because their greedy decisions cost lives.
A man gets killed by a lunatic and you blame the victim ?
think about what your socialist ideals have done to your messed up value system

If you think it is that bad you can tag along with Jordan Petersen and move to the shit hole down south.
Make sure to pack your tin foil hat and your guns.
do not ever tell a fellow citizen to get out of his country again

that is a hell of a game plan you / the socialist have
  1. throw a wrench into everything and fuck things up
  2. tell those that do not like the fuck ups to leave (but leave the $ behind)
what is wrong with you ?

Your life is good because the government set up an environment where you could succeed.
Your decisions mean nothing on their own.
There are plenty of people in failed states making similarly good decisions except their lives stay shitty because their governments suck.
