GOOD NEWS IS BAD

A Canadian commenter at the Huffleruffleduffletonian Post has important regional news:

[The] oil based economy here in Alberta is absolutely nuts insane rich.

Well, that’s just great!

Starting wages for McDonald’s in Ft.MacMurry are $14 to $17 per hour!!!!

Wonderful!

500 new jobs are posted for Edmonton every day.

It’s all good!

Most with starting wages for labouring at 12 to 18 dollars an hour.

Can’t complain about those numbers! Except that our Canadian commenter thinks this is all bad news:

Please, quit buying oil, and screwing with your other supplies. There is no stopping this otherwise, not in Alberta, no fucking way.

Fuck the environment, most here say. If you think your economy is helped by staying on oil, you ain’t seen nothing.

QUIT BUYING OIL!!!!!!!! Or the economy won’t be worth shit when everything else starts to fail.

No amount of wealth can fix a broken planet. And then we will see suffering.

To rescue this situation, McDonald’s wages in Canada must be cut, and new jobs slashed. Lest wealth cause suffering.
