In 2023, OECD net average income tax was 24.9%
USA: 24.2%
Canada: 25.6%
Ours is slightly higher. But with that 1.4%, we get imperfect universal health care.
In US, medical debt (held by 41% of Americans) is #1 leading cause of bankruptcy. Much rarer in Canada, where 17.5% hold medical debt.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn't even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.

We are going into even more uncharted waters in 2025, especially with the new admin coming in.
Keeping everyone safe is priority, and it doesn’t always involve the police, as we’ve seen too many times.
Kaylan’s @kaylan.bsky.social post are resources we all need to keep handy.

Bluesky execs could've given themselves 23 million followers each, but they're not psychopaths. Another reason we like it around here, yeah?

Humor is how I cope, and I know that’s true for others…so I’d be grateful if y’all could help my dopamine addiction by recommending folks on this app who makes you laugh & add them in comments so I can add them to my starter pack. Will follow back everyone who interacts 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
