I would like to see a tax on third properties and above that sit vacant for more than 6 months a year then 10% of the property value as a fine which would go to a ministry supporting unhoused people.

There would probably have to be some provision that if the property is rented out then for tax purposes the rent must be considered at the market rate -15% at the time the agreement was made. Eg a corpo couldn't rent a bunch of units to a subsidiarity and call them occupied since they are rented arrive they would have to pay income tax on the income.

As an extra to this people might go with the longer term to lock get the deal then after a period that's so long one of two things happens.

  1. the service us great and they are used to using it and keep it going
  2. the service isn't so good and they either renew since they forgot or they cancel and the business got more income that they may not have otherwise got.

Homes in North America are actually split phase 240v so it would actually be 240v * 200 or 48,000w. Not that I'm here to say you're wrong for your primary point, but the incoming supply is a 200amp fuse per leg (120v to neutral, 240. Leg to leg), with any imbalance returning though the neutral line.

Mr. Burns: Some men hunt for sport, Others hunt for food, The only thing I'm hunting for, Is an outfit that looks good... See my vest, see my vest, Made from real gorilla chest, Feel this sweater, there's no better Than authentic Irish setter. See this hat, 'twas my cat, My evening wear - vampire bat, These white slippers are albino African endangered rhino. Grizzly bear underwear, Turtles' necks, I've got my share, Beret of poodle, on my noodle It shall rest. Try my red robin suit, It comes one breast or two, See my vest, see my vest, See my vest. Like my loafers? Former gophers - It was that or skin my chauffeurs, But a Greyhound fur tuxedo Would be best, So let's prepare these dogs, Nanny: Kill two for matching clogs. Mr. Burns: See my vest, see my vest, Oh please, won't you see my vest!

This seems like a start, low key and quick to get on if needed, a must for all children attending school south of Canada

In Ontario, Canada if companies or individuals participate in energy savings programs where rebates are funded by the government then they increase rates to accommodate the list revenue from the savings of those programs. If you participate you still get a savings since when the rates go up you won't go up as much and if you don't then your at a loss since rates going up from other people participating will impact that.

Well just hold on there a minute, if they raise interest or charge higher fees on things that doesn't disproportionately negatively impact poor people then it might be less predatory... And we can't have that, we gotta keep punching those that can't hit back.

LLM AIs think any sentence that starts with who what where when, why or how is a question.

 

"Minister Calandra's latest flip flop makes it abundantly clear; we have only scratched the surface of the damage this government has done."
