In Ontario there's this thing called "FiT" or Feed-in-Tariff. The rates are currently between 20c/kWh and 78c/kWh depending on what is generating it. That's the price they're paid outside of market rates for generation, meaning if the market rate for power is 7.1c/kWh they're getting paid between the above listed to generate.

So no, it's not 0.3-0.6c/kWh here, it's far, far, far higher.

That's interesting, here in Ontario they're slapping the bird cutters up everywhere they can. When people complain the government threatens people, overrides community areas, and generally tells people to go fuck themselves. It's gotten bad enough that people are taking the provincial government to court over it.

And this in turn has caused our electricity rates to jump to ~16.1c/kWh in the last 5 years. Living in Ontario now guarantees you the highest residential and business prices for electricity. We of course have to thank the centre of the universe(Toronto) for re-electing the government in question, that is under destruction of data, electioneering, bribery and a couple of other things back to power again.

Okay, but only when they stop drawing men with packages so large they look like they're wearing a codpiece and muscle structure that makes them look like they're popping steroids.

Well back in the depression taxi cab drivers were highly coveted positions. Things really have come full circle. I also like the moderation of my previous comment, it appears the obama shills don't like that.

Don't you know? According to team obama, unemployment is fine, wages are a state issue, and the deficit is perfectly okay.

Sure but some of us live in parts of the world where notice is required. It's nice, you americans should give it a try.

Protip: I live in Canada, and know that the US has left-leaning parties. The only person that's a part of the ignorant majority appears to be you.

No you were just unclear to people who don't know what it is.

Okay, and that has what to do with the original question. You seem to have gone off in left field.

You must be new here. /. has been like this for nearly 8-9 years.

Yeah well, it's pretty funny that in the US the majority of the main media organizations lean left. Some days I can't tell the difference between NBC and the CBC.

So in what part of society where the person is so broken that they go out and cause oh murder, mass murder, and so on? Seems to me that it isn't a 'society problem' but rather an individual problem relating to either psychopathy or indoctrination.

Some people have this belief that in order to be ethical, you don't shill. That there are no financial ties, that the people involved have disclosure if there are any related issues. I realize that this is a difficult subject for some people to understand, but if you want to know why, you only need to look at the mess ABC news is in.

This is an extension of the clickbait culture that exists with sites like gawker, kotaku, polygon, vox and so on.

You're mostly right, except of course it removes those who would commit the same crime again.

Where am I offended?

Why do I get the feeling you're one of the "disagreement = harassment" types.
