407 ETR – F*** You
I have hated the 407 ETR for years. But this one time I caved, and it’s laughable how much I regret it now.

Someone shared a post on Facebook on my feed today. It started out with a half-truth meme, and was followed up with a healthy dose of questions for government officials and the medical community. I took a shot at answering, when nobody else did (probably due to the amount of time it would take)…

I am trying to support local restaurants during this coronavirus era by ordering twice per week. And never from the same restaurant. Early on, I thought that delivery services such as Uber Eats, Skip the Dishes and Door Dash were contributing too, by offering steep discounts to customers on each order.

Set aside your thoughts on the seriousness of the COVID-19 death rate or infection rate. Believe it, don’t believe it, serious, not serious – set that aside for a moment. This isn’t about that.
Netflix’s ‘Titans’ Trying Too Hard
Just an episode away from finishing off the second season of the Netflix show Titans. I like it, I really do. But it could be so much better.

Look at this bullshit headline:
“Beer in corner stores could cost Ontario taxpayers $1 billion, industry sources say”
Uh, no.
And I’m not some ignorant hack spewing an argument based on gut reaction. Well, okay, it’s a gut reaction. But I really was in the inventory distribution business (I was a planner and an analyst) before quitting to work for myself in the hockey world. I do know what I’m talking about. And logistics and operations took up several courses in University.
“industry officials argue that adding thousands of small retail outlets would dramatically increase distribution costs, lowering profit margins for brewers and leading to higher beer prices for consumers“
I call bullshit.
