Given the 100 year time difference, I suspect these two groups you identify as communist aren't actually the same people.

And infinite money machine clearly violates the laws of thermodynamics.
But an infinite pain machine is allowed under known physical laws.
They probably have a similar 25% agreement.
Obama would have been impeached the second he bulldozed part of the whitehouse.
A totally discretionary fund of $2-6B per year (based on nVidia's projections of selling $2-5B per quarter to China) would give the president enormous unchecked power.
He already has unchecked power.
Will this new revenue stream decrease my taxes? Will it fund infrastructure? If taxes are paid then government services should be rendered.
The EPA and IARC relied on different kinds of research to reach their conclusions. The EPA (U.S.) states that glyphosate is not likely to cause cancer in humans. But, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified the chemical as "probably carcinogenic to humans."
Also, not all glyphosate products are the same. And in the US at least we only list the so-called "active" ingredients, but the unlisted ingredients can potentially be toxic, carcinogenic, or teratogenic. Generally chemicals get pulled being unlisted when there is little doubt of their harm, but the default in US markets has been to essentially assume every ingredient already on the market is safe. (contrary to the rest of the sane world)
So we get formulations like Roundup which can have various dyes, foaming agents, thickeners, etc to improve the performance and application of glyphosate.
But we often don't know what those ingredients are, unless they are flammable, then those ended up on the MSDS.
For example, Roundup Pro is: 50.2% glyphosate and 13.0% Surfactant blend (proprietary).
Innocent people never deserve what happens to them, that's pretty much the definition of innocent. But many people still turn a blind eye to the things done to the innocent, often in the name of profit and in part to a warped concept of freedom.
Running a business shouldn't grant people absolute freedom and immunity from consequences. But that's precisely how a corporate board operates today.
I don't see a rash of bans, but I do see the same abusers of moderation given all the mod points they can use every day.
You can thank student loans for that. Earlier generations got their schooling subsidized, but now people have to get loans to pay for it themselves instead. Colleges therefore could raise tuition. Then a bipartisan effort in Congress was launched to make sure we couldn't discharge those loans through bankruptcy like you can gambling or other personal debts, which was led by Joseph R Biden. I think we know how that turned out, forgiveness for a few of the worst abused players, and blaming inability to keep his campaign promises related to partial forgiveness for all buyers blamed on Congress while he went around them to fund genocide in Gaza.
There's a million homes in the UK alone that demonstrate you're wrong. The vast majority of them didn't need any renovation. I know this, because the average cost of an install in the UK, including supply and labour, is between 500 and 1000 quid, and that wouldn't be enough to pay for renovations. That said, a consumer unit that's full hardly counts as renovations. A bigger one will cost about 100 quid! Not that most people have needed it.
I shall be generous-minded about this and put it down to Canadian homes being more likely to need some form of upgrade than UK homes, because your homes are larger, your heating already strains your 100A supplies, your breaker boards tend to be older and more crowded and less likely to be near the front door, and your garages can more often be detached.
The Pentagon pays for 2 million Microsoft 365 licenses.
Because having all that day-to-day military data in the cloud, managed by a private-sector company whose primary business is data-rape, is a sterling choice for managing national security. Srsly, WTF?

But your home's set up isn't mainstream at all: the vast majority of houses that can have home charging do not need to spend more than 1k to get it. They don't have to contend with 250 foot cable runs. Although as I pointed out, in all likelihood, you don't have to contend with that either. Your problem is niche, not mainstream!
That's in character, sure; but what's the paper-thin excuse for that being a cogent policy idea?
The same excuses to impose tariffs because "DRUGS!" while pardoning drug kingpins. Or sinking boats because "DRUG BOATS" while again, pardoning drug kingpins and smugglers.
The excuse is that its pay to play. Those drug king[ins paid Trump for pardons. China pays Trump for chips. As long as you're paying Trump, you're good.
