I wonder how many other municipalities and boroughs have f*cked their taxpayers similarly?
In the 1980s, there was a flood plan that could have spared Pierrefonds residents million$ in damages but city officials decided not to spend the 160K... why? So, the insurance companies can make more money? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/pumping-station-pierrefonds-residents-9.7296995 #profitsbeforepeople #taxdollarshardatwork #polMTL #MTLpoli #polQC #QCpoli

What a time to be alive!
Remember the good ol' days when things like #Livejournal, etc. were the place to be? No? Meh.
#Lyvio is chronological, and an algorithm doesn’t dictate what you see.
There are also no ads.
How long until the app is bought by some company with other ideas?

No plans? If *I* were working at Ubisoft Montréal, and I'm not, I'd be bracing for impact... corporations always put #profitsbeforepeople.
French video game-maker #Ubisoft has closed a second Canadian studio in less than six months, but the company says there are no plans for layoffs in Montréal.

Wells Fargo and JP Morgan are reporting record profits, but the Federal Reserve claims its balancing act with inflation and the job market is oh so tenuous in the USA? https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/14/business/powell-fed-inflation-jobs-tension

A bunch of scummy companies lieing to consumers about their safety.
I knew #Nissan for years threw away reports of dangerous faults in Nissan vehicles.
And that #VW lied about emissions.
Maybe trusting companies that grew with Nazi and Japanese #SlaveLabour during WWII was never a good idea?
Or is it that modern corporations are becoming and more fascist and put #ProfitsBeforePeople.Destruction of #Trust
