I somewhat agree with you, but at the same time, you dont want a factory pumping their sludge directly into a river either. There should be reasonable effort to prevent as much pollution as you can, i.e not idling your car for 5 minutes, regulations on smokestack industries, etc. But yes humans have evolved and most people dont want to go back to caveman era, where even they of course were still effecting the environment.

Actually I do. I have a friend who basically started his own corporation (which costs like a couple bucks), then funnels his paycheck through that, and takes out dividends. And since he also has his own corporation, he is able to write certain things off.. Not sure how that works as I thought it would have to be a legitimate business expense, but he said what he does is perfectly legal

I dont know exactly how it all works, but in the end makes a fair more than I do and pays less tax than I do.

interesting. 24 inch monitor I cant tell the difference between 1440p and 2160p in that video. I do notice an ever slight small difference between 1080p and 1440p but so minor if you had 2 images side by side I probably wouldnt be able to tell you which was which. Ill have to try it on my higher res 27" screen at home.

We have that in canada, and it really is confusing on what is taxable and what isnt.
"Basic" groceries are not taxable. But then there are some items that wouldn't be considered basic groceries that are exempt from tax (such as an unbaked pizza from the grocery store, but a frozen pizza is taxable).

What, do you live in Nunavut? Canadian tire is everywhere. I still go by the saying "if it ain't in the flyer, don't but it at the tire" as their regular price on a lot of items (especially their in-house mastercraft bran)d is ridiculous, but then they always have 50-75% off sales.
Their return policy is very good, and never had issues.
