Quick lesson on the cost of poor vaccination priorities.
Vaccinating the wrong person in Ontario costs up to $5,000 per vaccine.
Sounds absurd, right? Let's run through some quick napkin math on why that might be an underestimate.
<thread> 🧵👇
2/ The economy is shut down because of a very specific demographic of people are impacted by widespread outbreaks — essential workers (less healthcare).
Teachers, grocery clerks, food processors, warehouse employees, and restaurant employees.
Shutting down is expensive.
3/ Ontario is spending $186 billion on COVID related programs, like floating small businesses over the next year.
That averages $0.5 billion per day. Then there's federal programs like CRB, EI+, etc.. Then add the lost revenue for businesses, and the cost of financing it...
Taxing the gains on a principal residence as an investment lacks "critical analysis."
As opposed to the idea of taxing the investment gains of anyone that doesn't own a home, including a generation unlikely to ever own.
That's just good business for old folks.
2/ Here. Keep tax exemptions on the profits of homes.
Just let our generation know where we can opt of paying for your CPP.
Boomers: Tax people that work! They don't contribute to society like we do. We had to buy a home for a nickel, and worked twelve jobs in a day. It took just as long to save a downpayment too!
It took your generation 25 years? You bought your starter home at 45?
"The government is trying to microchip you with vaccines."
Bruh. Have you tried to use a government website? There's no way they can build that kind of tech.
Imagine if Canada tried to microchip people with vaccines.
*two weeks later*
Everyone receives an email saying their microchips have been locked, please call in to have it reenabled. Everyone's on hold for 8+ hours to reactivate.
Imagine if the 🇺🇸 tried.
