Solution is simple: tax and regulate. These large vehicles come with externalities including contributing to global warming, increased road wear, increased use of road and parking space, and higher rates of pedestrian injury and fatality.
So, tax them so the owners pay for those externalities, and/or regulate to prevent them in the first place. This is an entirely solvable problem if governments, and the people they represent, really care.
Oh sure, on the like paragraph five. That's way more than a single tweet. How do you expect anyone to read that much all in one go?!?
And the first paragraph of the article uses the word "believe", which has a much softer connotation.
The subject line strongly implies that Canadians did the math and "expect" to need $1.7M for retirement.
When you look at the actual article, it's simply an opinion survey reporting what people said, answers for which could be the result of anything from a rigorous financial plan all the way to a finger in the air guess.
So the headline implies a great deal more certainty in the quoted figures than is actually indicated in the article or supportable by the data.
In short: no, I stand by my claim the article headline is absolutely misleading.
Agreed. The headline is extremely misleading clickbait.
This piece is reporting on what people think they need, not what they actually need (which is highly context dependent), which by itself isn't very interesting.
The real story is the huge divergence between what people say they need vs what they're actually targeting, but that's not news, we've known about it for decades (basically every since the defined benefit pension plan ended).

Well, unless you decide you want to let them access gender affirming care, in which case you as a parent have no rights at all.
This was never about parental rights. It's about using the trans community in the same way the right used the gay community in the 70s and 80s: as a moral boogieman they can use to gain power.
Bruh, do you really think the author doesn't know who one of the largest IT agencies in the world is? Could it be, rather, that they were dumbing it down for the audience, since it's, you know, not an article about Accenture, and ended up with some slightly odd phrasing as a consequence?
You don't see a financial opportunity in delivering tools to dramatically speed up the creation of emails, reports, presentations, boilerplate graphics, etc?
Tell me you've never held a corporate job without telling me you've never held a corporate job.
There are people who literally live in Word and Excel every day. For them these tools could be life changing.
And that's just one obvious userbase.
I guess for people that only have a deck for gaming
Given it's primarily sold as a gaming device, I find it very odd that you frame this as the exception rather than the rule.
Just started finally playing through Manifold Garden and after switching to kb&m emulation with the stick and touchpad, plus some tweaks, it's played extremely well.
Meanwhile I've also put a distressing amount of time into Rimworld, which works great with the Deck's suspend mode since it's very amenable to dropping in, doing stuff for a few minutes, then dropping out. Well except that a few minutes always turns into a few hours...
