  • It ends up being net zero. They’re only writing off the money you donated. They still have to count the money you donated towards their overall revenue, increasing their tax bill, but then they pass the donation on, allowing them to write it off, reducing their overall revenue (and thus their tax bill) to what it would have been if you hadn’t donated.

    I mean, kinda yes, kinda no. We generally weren’t hunting predators primarily for meat, but for community safety. The meat from predators was a byproduct of not wanting a bear or something to decide our children would make for a tasty snack.

    It’s just those predators were also what kept prey populations under control, so now we have to take over that role in order to prevent their extinction. Left to their own devices, they’ll overgraze and kill the areas ability to support them, and then they all die because the area won’t necessarily bounce back quickly enough as they die of starvation.







  • A Dollar Tree opened near me in Canada within the last year. Now don’t get me wrong, our local Dollarama isn’t amazing or anything, but that Dollar Tree is embarrassingly bad by comparison. 75% of a shelves were just straight up empty, and what was actually on the shelves was so cheaply made that I’d be embarrassed to give it away, let alone charge what they were trying to charge for it.

    There was one aisle pretty well stocked though. They had an entire aisle dedicated exclusively to bibles. What the actual fuck?
