A parking space in downtown Toronto makes $27/hr. I, a real person with thoughts and feelings, capable of suffering, makes less than a goddamn parking space.

''"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population" ...'' 

In the parking space's defense, they don't need to sleep, eat, and pay rent, so they're actually much more valuable than humans occupying the same real estate. The core of Western violence is the attitude that a human being is any dollar value whatsoever. This mindset is born of the era of British #Utilitarianism and their desire to just do a comparison of two numbers. You can't allow them to put a number on a human being; never.

@MostlyHarmless You're thinking it out wrong. Do you live in Toronto? Then people are paying $27/hour for parking to come see you! :)

@MostlyHarmless On the bright side, you don't have to get a car parked on top of you to make any money.

@MostlyHarmless

Spaces, every space, should be common to all. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was right: our woes began when someone had the idea to fence a space and declare "this is mine!".

@MostlyHarmless we would have more parking space for cars if we could get rid of all these dumb humans, maybe we should just run them over to make more parking space.

toronto city planning basically.

@shironeko @MostlyHarmless Is this yet another Ford family plan? I don't live in Canada, but every headline I see come out of Ontario… WTAF?

Although TBH, when I see a headline involving Alberta or Saskatchewan, I wonder what heavy metal is in the beer there.

@roadskater @shironeko @MostlyHarmless we feel pretty smug here in Ontario, because as stupid as our provincial government is, Alberta is definitely far stupider.

@MostlyHarmless Please don't drive your car downtown and please increase minimum wage.

@MostlyHarmless the parking space probably pays more tax too. But it doesn't care.
