But what's up with Jacinda? Is she afraid of Maori adults, why not just ban tobacco entirely?
Anyway, give it another year or two, it will get there.
You can't by a tear down in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, etc for under a million. Houses rise in value at a rate of about $$1500-2000 a week (for years) while wages have been stagnant for decades. You could have bought a house for 450k-500k in 2005 and sold today for 2 million. I've seen condos that were 175k in 2006 sell for 850k today. You can't even buy a shack out side the city for less than 500k and most are going for over a million or two.
Average price of a house in Toronto will be over 4-5 million in the next decade while the average wage will still be 45-65k.
If you believe OP, borrow as much foreign currency as you can and exchange it for USD. Back in 2007-2008, many Canadians emptied out their savings to buy USD at incredibly favorable exchange rates. Within a year or two they made over 30% as the CAD fell and the USD recovered.
I hate to break it to everyone but Walmart has had it's own ships for the last 12-15 years. It was the only way they could guarantee timely delivery and stable costs, even when things were normal. For some reason the media thinks Amazon is doing something innovative? There is nothing innovative about charting your own ships and buying your own containers.
Now selling stuff at a loss for over a decade and a half to hook the public and then raise prices quietly to where it's less expensive to buy from brick and mortar is the real innovation. Who would have thought a company could do that for 15 + years.

Putin is criminal and he is no friend of the West. His aircraft loiter around Alaska and he tests US defenses every hour. Don't be an apologist for a tyrant.
The only good thing about Plebit is that it is a honeypot that attracts most of these types and keeps them off of sites like HN. Although I have noticed that there is some bleed over but thank god it's not much. This site and 4Chan are still decent.

Here are a couple of past threads on the topic.
I look at it this way, there is no escape. We will all get it eventually. I'm vaccinated and healthy for whatever that is worth.
The most important thing you can do too prevent things like Bank Accounts, Credit cards, etc opened in your name is to lock your Credit History. Without access no one can open up any kind of account. You might also want to lock down your SS Account.

Edit: I bought one 3 weeks ago and love it. Ordered another.
When buying used, look at a model that has had minor refreshes over a range of time like 2012 -2018. The later models of that period can have some refinements that improve their dependability. Stay away from first model years.
The best resource to figure out if the vehicle you're interested in are message boards where there is a large community of enthusiasts. You will quickly determine what the major and minor issues are with the vehicle. An example is a site like https://www.clublexus.com/ or https://www.toyotanation.com/ . Boards like these will give a better picture of whether the vehicle you want is a good choice.
Everything breaks but there are some obvious brands/models to stay away from.
I suppose it would have a lot to do with where your ancestors lived geographically. Dairy, Meat, Vegetables, Grains. The healthiest approach to consuming food is trying to keep it as simple as possible. The more we process it the unhealthier it is, although fermentation is an exception.
