    Park shade designers. All of them. Replace them with two guys from anywhere that have had a sunburn and know how to install a roof.

    Companies reporting price increases as “adjusting for inflation” when the price hike does not match inflation. Entire C-suite go to the gulag working for a penny per year until they made back the collective profits of the entire company.

    We need to unironically do what China does with its rich, terrorize them and make them walk on eggshells and hand out ridiculously harsh punishments to management when it’s a business committing a crime worth insane amounts of money.

    Fixed prices for fines. These should be based on a fixed percentage, not fixed dollar amount, of a persons overall wealth. None of this bullshit that can bankrupt a poor person but be the price of admission for the rich.

      Historically, fee-based “laws” are specifically designed to punish the poor. You off to update the whole system, or just the last few thousand years or so?

    Being cruel to other people by hiding behind some power imbalance.

    I don’t want to live in a society where the consequence for this behavior is a meaningless fine.

      Is this not murder? There’s no way he didn’t contribute to her death even if she was already terminally ill. Stabbing a terminally ill person is murder, putting a newborn baby on the street under the guise of “it’s in my property and it’s not my kid” is murder, why isn’t this? At least criminal negligence no?

      Also, is Nanimo doing okay? Like, just in general, but is the housing situation as bad as Vancouver?

    A lot of very important things have already been suggested and I agree with most. I won’t just re-state what others have said, instead I’ll suggest a pet peeve of mine.

    People who say “I love that for you”. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me, it’s always said in such a condescending and disingenuous way by every person I’ve ever heard say it, I just can’t stand hearing it now.

    Maybe you shouldn’t be chomping at the bit to kidnap people and lock them in cages.

    Generally think mandatory minimums are unjust, but political corruption. It’s wrong per se but also has downstream negative effects on society.

    Keeping properties vacant instead of lowering rent. If you haven’t found a tenant within some set amount of time, 2-5 months or something idk, it should go to a public bidding process. Cities are full of empty commercial lots and half empty “luxury apartments.”

        I don’t think it should be illegal, but you should pay exponentially increasing property taxes after the first one

      If there’s also a “no” option it’s fine, sometimes I even want the “ask me later”
