At any point in the past, most people would criticize "running from the police" but now it's the most socially acceptable it's ever been to cheer someone on.
When recycling first started where I live, we had multiple bins. Paper, and i want to say metal/glass and plastic. Plus garbage and yard waste. But I'm refering to the fact that paper by itself faces additional sorting prior to recycling.
"On May 1, 2020 the Government of Canada prohibited over 1,500 models of assault-style firearms and certain components of some prohibited firearms (the upper receivers of M16, AR-10, AR-15, and M4 patterns of firearms). "
Sears could have been what Amazon is today. Hell, it the 19th century, it WAS was Amazon is today. But the focus is so often on financial trickery over actual sound business practices
Alot of debt gets bundled into bonds or other investment vehicles and sold. So small retail investors, retirement funds, etc end up holding the bag. Sometimes the banks lose, but they can take tax write offs and if the loses are too great, they can often get bailed out by the government.
Yes and No. Sears could have limped along for longer but the geriatric leadership they brought in made a bunch of stunningly bad decisions. Sears built their business on catalogs and shipping direct to consumers. With their huge distribution network, trusted name, and network of stores they could have embraced a hybrid model and been on the cutting edge of e-commerce but the geriatric fucks they put in charge doubled down on the retail model they had always known but with shittier service.

Trust them to have basic human decency, trust them to not invade Canada, trust them to rigorously oppose a criminal regime?
As George Carlin said: "Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders."
No, the "the work load for me a person with a life to live is unreasonable especially in a age of sealioning" excuse. If you had a more narrowly phrased question, that would help. But in the name of good faith debate, I'll point you in a starting direction. Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revanchism, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irredentism, then type "Russia's Imperial Ambitions" into a search engine. When Putin was a boy, the map of his country was bigger than it is now and he wants that land "back".
