In any event, we are going to stay on the trajectory we are on until we the people decide to change it. And as long as the government gives us just enough bread and circuses to keep us entertained, it will continue to be the problem. The other problem is that it will be too late to do anything about it. We live in a staunchly socialist country and the day will surely come when buyer’s remorse sets in. * Insert 80s drug PSA “I learned it from you!” add here * Nice to see the folks in the hat following our leadĪs my colleague Tex Leugner, a proud Albertan with four tours of duty in foreign hotspots to his credit, has said: The problem with Canada is the people in it.
WATCH: Elections Canada publishes results before polls close Platypus have 5X and 5Y chromosomes organised in a ring that appears to have broken apart into pieces over the course of mammalian evolution.Ĭomparing this chromosome information to humans, opossums, Tasmanian devils, chickens, and lizard genomes, the authors found the platypus's sex chromosomes have more in common with birds like chickens than mammals such as humans.īut while platypus lay eggs like chickens, they feed their young milk like therian mammals. The platypus, however, is the only known animal with 10 sex chromosomes (echidnas have nine). The authors were particularly interested in the animal's sex chromosomes, which appear to have originated independently from other therian mammals, all of which contain a simple XY pair. Now We Know Why Platypus Are So Weird - Their Genes Are Part Bird, Reptile, And Mammal That's another rant, but I had the piece bookmarked, so I'm linking it. He seems to specialize in monopolies (we agree that they are bad), but likes labor unions (wait, a monopoly on the capital side is bad, but a labor monopoly is good?), and loves the idea of government “fixing” things (oh, I see, the monopoly should be with the entity that is already the largest player, and the only one that has the power to force people to comply?). Bet he's a leftist from reading the piece. We have no potatoesĭon't know the author or the blog. In any event, tonight's question of the day: Where is this heading? Is it going to get worse before it gets better? Will the system right itself, or will it continue to swing wildly back and forth, like a tail-heavy trailer behind a car, until it flips the whole thing off the road? ( If you don't know what I mean, click here). Being Time it manages to take a swipe at 80s era deregulation along the way, and it doesn't talk much about the effects of inflation (Now why could that be happening? I have no idea. The focus of the article is purportedly examining why prices have gone up, but it does that by taking an in depth look at the path the giraffe takes all along the supply chain. Why Is Everything More Expensive Right Now? Here's an article that traces the path of one stuffed animal from China to San Francisco. The largest port in the US hit a new ship-backlog record every day last weekįor another, delays in one part of the pipeline echo along all other parts. For one thing, they're backed up at the west coast ports. It's almost like you can't shut down portions of a global just-in-time shipping system because of a pandemic without disrupting the entire thing. One week the chicken section of the grocery store is down to lonely packages of gizzards and necks, the next they're selling 10lb bags of leg quarters for $6.50. You can't buy Gatorade around here for love nor money, but there's plenty of Body Armor on the shelves. So, how many of you have noticed gaps on the shelves of your local stores? We all have, and it's weirdly inconstant.
