Still hard to believe that small bills last anywhere close to coins. I regularly see Loonies (1 dollar coin) from when they were introduced in 1987, meanwhile the paper currency has changed a couple of times and then likewise with the plastic currency. Most of the changes were for counterfeiting protection.
Meanwhile the coin has changed from coated nickel to coated stainless steel.
Armoured car companies seem fine with $1 and $2 coins.
The vending machines were set up a long time ago for $1 coins and American $1 coins are compatible with Loonies in those machines, both nickel and stainless steel Loonies.
I used to hate looking at my wallet, seeing a bunch of bills and then counting them and realizing they were mostly ones.

It's how we did it in Canada. Didn't take long for $1 bills to vanish from circulation.
Did the same some years later with the $2 bill.
IIRC, 1987 for the $1 and 1996 for the $2.
I'll also note that our $1 coins are compatible for vending machines and such.

Here in Canada, when we got rid of the penny, some stores advertised that they would always round down. Didn't last before going to regular rounding and I've never heard of a business that always rounds up.
Can't remember if there is a law about it or just guidelines.
Anyways, few pay in cash today and for plastic, it is still rounded to the nearest cent.

And when did America finally shutdown its re-education camps? I believe you called them boarding schools.
Here in Canada, the last were shutdown in the 1990's and they involved a lot of abuse, including sexual and was all based on race and the goal was cultural genocide on those pesky natives.

They impound vehicles here for excessive speeding, IIRC 40km/h over, still see people excessively speeding. The problem, as you said, is the odds of getting caught are low enough that people still speed excessively even with the higher fines, and the cost of impoundment, which adds up.

They impound cars for excessive speeding (IIRC, 40km/h over) here, never heard a politician even talk about less penalties for speeding. Higher speed limits yes.

And they recently had a big strike here in Canada to change that to getting paid when they start the job. People were very supportive of the flight attendants strike as well once they realized that these people were working for free before the plane took off.
The advantage of unions and labour rights.

Just goes to show that a religious upbringing creates mass murderers. Perhaps something to do with the beatings given to their kids to install obedience.

I said driven to have more money, not would like more money. Many of the people I know who are well off are quite content with their finances, sure they would like more but aren't living to have more when there are other things in life besides work and struggle.

Well, to become a billionaire usually means a lack of morals and a certain type of personality bordering on sociopath. A group of people who have self selected.
I'm not talking about people who were born a certain colour or with weird hormones, it's more like a group like the Mafia. Sure they might be born into the Mafia but it is not inherent in them and I will label Mafioso's as bad people even if the do do some good stuff occasionally.

I think that with most people, once they have more money then they know what to do with, aren't driven to get more money when there is a life to enjoy. And some of the billionaire class do seem to want to make us peasants or serfs. Slaves can be an expensive investment.

People trying to avoid anything American, which lately is much of the world and especially Canadians.

Hahaha, what?

You say the pilot in control should have intentionally sheered off the wings (FULL OF JET FUEL) off during a dual-engine failure? You obviously have no idea about planes.

There is nothing that could have been done. They were past V1. There was no arrester pit at the end of the runway (which wouldn't have done much). We're talking about a vehicle loaded with 10,000s of lbs of fuel. Sheering the wings off would have spread chaos and destruction.

There is nothing that could have been done.

Of course they want the same thing, namely more money. How they accomplish that will vary.

Strong storms like you describe mean no power for a week, using traditional generating plants, hydro here. Just today there are all kinds of power outages with the current storm.
Funny enough the last really big storm seen every highway wiped out from flooding, along with the train tracks and all pipelines shutdown. Gas rationing as it was barged in, yet the lights stayed on mostly.

Gas turbines spin up very quickly and produce electricity, though maximum output, using the waste heat to boil water is slower to ramp up.
