I'm gonna be generous and say what I think is going on here is that $30k, on average, does not drastically change one's life trajectory. The point people are raising (and I agree with) is that $30k absolutely does have the *potential* to change someone's life.
I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

in re: why are Toronto Police enforcing provincial law (and not the OPP.) As a legal fact Toronto Police are not municipal employees, and in any case do not take operational direction from anyone aside from the Chief of Police.
Neither the mayor nor the police force's employer, the Toronto Police Services Board, can give operational direction to police officers. The law, in this case, is an ass.

Since his 2020 vote to cut the police budget by 10%, what are the new facts that have convinced him to instead increase the number of cops by over 15%?
Bradford says it should be okay for council to change its collective mind when new facts emerge. On Bloor West, he says the bike lanes carry just 0.5% of road users on the street. "We have to recognize when something's not working — that's how you build trust."

I've just learned that Freeplay has removed me as a sponsor for Parallels due to an accusation from a speaker that I am a "zionist". Where did the speaker get this idea? Because Unpacking was included in a listicle in an online Jewish publication a few days ago. I didn't even know about the article.
