besides the example i gave actually harming people, and them not being in prison, to go from "people who don't help society" to murder is kind of a stretch isn't it?

you realize it's possible to neither help nor harm society.

i am canadian, are we limited to examples only of canadian's who harm societies, C suite of loblaws isn't in jail are they?

I know halifax has some shit history that i didn't learn in school -- i think i mostly learned about black history from american sources, and my own reading.

Finally some good news! Although I'm sort of surprised this didn't exist already

I've heard 4% rule, but for myself I use an investment firm that does monte carlo projections, with ages, spending rates, and current assets to give you a rough idea of likelihood of assets lasting till death.

Ive also played with a few of the retirement calculators made by the FIRE crowd i.e. https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/beyond-4-rule-how-much-can-you-spend-retirement

  1. You are free to not spend money there
  2. If you took this logic and turned it around, i could see an argument saying the moment you stop helping society why should we let you exist

I agree that in the best interests of having a pleasant place to live, or elected officials should force them to sell at not so great a profit. I feel like "they shouldn't be allowed to exist" is a poor way to put it.

We might live better if this were true (maybe not), but it is not at all their job. Neither is it our job to serve them.

To my limited knowledge (reading https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1551870) this seems to be the Canadian norm: you don't own the land under your land

You don't have to, and here we are with what IMO is the worst choice, because you didn't vote.

Not voting is not an excuse when Doug is on the ballot, you still need to vote for the less sucky person.

It's time to admit that us Ontarians just suck on average.

In my experience corporations serve their shareholders (and maybe board and executive s).
