I’m not sure what dishwasher spray is, but I used the Buy Beaver app in my grocery store and found Finish dishwasher detergent was about the same price and owned by a uk company not ideal but not American.

MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish1·3 days agoso you have some established right to indicate which of us can speak as to what’s best for the Canadian people (you) and the other can’t (me). Because…reasons?
What in what I wrote leads you to this?
I correctly noted this doesn’t affect you and that it does affect mamy.
Your position, as far as I can tell is:
If the reason for doing the wrong thing is “the jobs” then you need to rethink your reasoning.
… It’s bad policy to concede to the US right now.
I think that the jobs really do matter to a lot of people and that when the US has significantly more leverage you Canada has very few options.
Again, noting that your position really hurts a lot of people doesn’t mean you can’t have a position rather, it’s that you support a position that really hurts people.
MyBrainHurtsto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?English2·3 days agoCanada… Depends what kind of visit really. I captain a few rec teams, so breaks or dislocations, we’ll go to emergency, get triaged and wait for a bit.
If it’s somwthing I’d like to get checked out but not urgent, I’ll schedule an appointment with my family dr, might take a week or 2?
For something sooner, I’ll go to one of the several walk in clinics nearby. Wait time really varies but generally pretty quick as long as I get there a little early.
MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish12·4 days agoNope, re-read what I wrote. What in there says you can’t come up with a valid opinion?
It’s more “your opinion doesn’t seem to give any weight, relief or aid to those who are affected in any way shape or form.”
It’s a trade negotiation, it’s literally all about the jobs.
I get that you aren’t affected but thousands are.
By your logic, we should just not do anything with our largest trading partner and I dunno, just wait for almost half a decade until we like the administration?

MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish21·4 days agoAnd correct.
So far, the replies have been “everyone should just drop all American services, that’s a minor detail for IT” and “a trillion dollar trade negotiation isn’t actually about jobs.”
I get the kneejerk reaction but damn, this is silly bordering on depressing.
MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish63·4 days agoThe attitude is coming from wishful thinking untempered by knowledge or experience.
MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish25·4 days agoNo, I guess being well read and having empathy kind of allow me to consider how things affect other Canadians who are not me?
MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish58·4 days agoLol, A) it’s pretty clear you have no idea what the DST is and what it does.
B) Jesus lord, for most offices, converting off Microsoft would be an insane task and a huge IT cost.
I know Lemmy skews young but this is nonsensical.
MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish45·4 days agoThe cavalier attitude is a big give away. Usually folks worried about their kids and mortgages understand the costs.

MyBrainHurtsto Canada•Canadians upset Carney caved to Trump over digital services taxEnglish435·5 days agoOut of curiousity, how many workers should lose their jobs to appease your sense of righteousness?
A trade negotiation is not the same as bowing to fascism.
Admittedly, a lot of taxes are misspent but a quarter of your income seems a bargain.
For example, I imagine getting to your jon would be really difficult without roads. Or a semi functional legal system that stops people from just robbing your business whenever they feel like it. Or a system that enforces contracts and property rights.
I’ve had a job where I didn’t pay taxes. It didn’t end well.
MyBrainHurtsOPtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Honestly, last time I was in urgent I would've loved some taco bellEnglish1·5 days agoHadn’t thought about it like that but really, if they want to boost profits more hospitals ought to have cigarettes in vending machines, bars in the waiting rooms and taco bell in the cafeterias.

MyBrainHurtsOPtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Honestly, last time I was in urgent I would've loved some taco bellEnglish3·5 days agoOh man, I figured that was most of the joke. Is everyone just like “huh, weird phrasing but I’ll roll with it?”

MyBrainHurtsto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Movies not starting when they are scheduled.English13·13 days agoOh heck, I never thought of just asking! (Admittedly, I’m usually high as balls and socially awkward at a movie but still!)
Judging by how many people wear clothes made by children in sweatshops, I’d say the wants of the many seem to outweigh the needs of the few.
