Province to subsidize travel costs as N.B. shifts to private veterinary service
After last week's announcement that New Brunswick's veterinary field service will end, the province has shared some insight into how it will support a private system. One of these ideas, subsidizing travel, is a key part of Nova Scotia's private system.

Europe’s long-delayed Ariane 6 rocket will make its debut launch attempt on July 9, ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher announced Wednesday at the ILA Berlin Air Show.

Any farmer who wants a communist-socialist cash payout must agree to quit the anti-socialist GOP and join the DSA Democratic Socialists of America at minimum $10/ month for 5 years ($600, far less than they'll get in subsidies). Walk the walk, y'all...

POLITICO: These #Republicans have a lot to lose if Congress cuts #Medicaid
( Nationally 24 percent of #Americans have Medicaid. This is a VERY cruel thing to do so they can #subsidize double amounts of the Medicaid cuts as #taxcuts for the #rich)

For my American friend I think it should be clear.

The #US does not #subsidize #Canada. You buy stuff from us. We buy stuff from you.

It’s called #trade.

@fluepke sadly the only way this could be changed if @BNetzA would mandate proper #DualStack support.

  • And I'd welcome it if they were to mandate a /64 per IPv4 if not a /48 of #IPv6's per #IPv4 block allocation...

I just don't expect this to happen from the same agency that would rather #subsidize #Starlink that mandate #FTTB & #FTTH coverage and installations...

@Dragofix @scottsantens

I responded to another with more details, but maybe that didn't make it to your instance.

"No need to do anything" - so most people will contribute (work/taxes, or create art, or volunteer in the community, etc), and those #productive people will see their effort go to #subsidize others who do nothing productive at all. Demonstrably #unfair, and will definitely cause #conflict.

It's unworkable. We need an answer to this question to evaluate any UBI scheme.

@sofia @scottsantens

Are we just supposed to write it off as "Some people will #freeload, and the rest will just have to pay to #subsidize them without having any say about it"?

Or is there another answer? If so, what is it? If it's "shut up and pay for their sloth", how do you justify that #morally, or #practically? It's bound to create #conflict.
