Voting for for trump does make them worse people, they are objectively supporting a racist. Trump family stole money from childrens cancer charity. That's bad. Likewise I didn't write off Peterson for his personal life I wrote him off cause his arguments are rooted in the bible.
Really what makes peterson and trump so bad is that they are completely self centered, and self gratification is their only goal. They care about nobody else.
I'm sad COVID didn't kill them.
I read one of his books before i knew who he was, and found although the advice was mostly common sense (if a bit context free) advice, followed by long rants about traditional family's, and backed up by bible. I found myself thinking "what about behaviourism research?", you know there has been progress in the last 100 years. I'm ashamed that the traditional family shit didn't tip me off.
I've found him come up in my google feeds often too, It's insidious.
In terms of convincing your brother about how off this guy is, generally there are how to approach things on line (i.e. you can't always take a logical approach). I've also encountered this kind of thing in my extended family, I've got distant aunts that likely voted for trump, and they are otherwise decent people (i.e. not racist, and supportive).
Why do people vote for this self centered kleptocrat

Seems reasonable to me, just glad i'm not a land-lord; wish i knew what the taxes were on.
You don't get retirement benefits until you retire, you can't spend that money unil you do, and you need it then anyway. The pension helps but it doesn't make the position attractive as better wages now. Being poor now so you can retire poor while doing some very difficult work is not attractive. Further any pension as a weight in future prospects is surely weighted against them leaving the field early.
What grand display are you talking about?
Places with education systems have better outcomes for their population than places that don't, we need it so our children have a good life.
This is incorrect. The fund pays teachers as a defined benefit. There is no pay relationship between the funds success and a teachers payout. Teachers don't receive a debt from the fund which is paid out at retirement, they have an up front defined benefit they recieved calculated based on years of service.
If the fund could not pay teachers the govt guarantees it will fill out anything remaining (if this happened who fucking knows what would actually happen).
Teachers can't receive money from the fund until they retire OR if they quit and take a commuted value which would be deemed income and taxable (ie it'd be pretty dumb to take in this way).
They have to live now, this retirement plan is nice, and one of those shining examples of privatization working well, BUT teachers any live on that while they are teaching. ECEs right now out of school earn about 26k/year. That is not going to attract people into the field.
The hookers and blow quip is shitty, first because it cheapens your argument, second because you shouldn't tell people how to spend their money.
No individual teacher is paid for by that fund, only retired teachers. That fund is large to supply retired teachers with a pension, and can't be used to pay existing teachers.
To insinuate that some how individual teachers pay is increased by that is super weird.
Also Bridgewater is the largest hedge fund in the world, not otpp.
Nobody wants to teach because the pay is ass. There may be a training problem, but there's also a significant pay problem.
Personally i prefer go, but these are pretty standard languages; so learning the in's and out's really isn't all that time consuming (you aren't going to have to change how you think about programming like say rego). Since you have python experience these should be no big deal, but maybe worth playing with a bit if you are trying to get a job in either language and need to cross off that bullet.
As for expanding your learning, i'd try something like functional programming (haskell), or query language like rego above. Neither of these will be great for your resume though.
The whole "article"
Canada Post reported a before-tax loss of $254 million for its second quarter. Revenue dropped by $78 million, or six per cent, year-over-year. Canada Post announced a transformation plan in June that targeted the e-commerce market for parcel delivery but ruled out staffing cuts.
Canada post costs money to run, it doesn't lose money, just like our hospitals and schools cost money, they aren't lost we are paying for these things so we have a nice place to live.
It's a small thing, but it's a huge difference of meaning.
If there was anything else at all in the article explaining the increase being unnecessary then maybe...
Wow, nice hot take!
I find the concept super intuitive, like a blueprint or a mold.
