Canadian here, ashamed of our history big time. Myself and government believe truth and reconsiliation. So there is shame in our past. Also, I don’t think the country representing Jerry is a good use…
Canadian here. I believe in reconciliation with the indigenous population, but I've yet to see anything but words from provincial and federal governments
Well, there’s always the practical question of: how do you reconcile for genocide? Leave the country and hand it back to the natives? It would honestly surprise me if you would go that far, let alone your government or countrymen
How about respecting the sovereign land of the people that don't have treaties yet? Wetsuoten (spelling?) land defenders are still being harassed by the RCMP on the regular
It is a meritocracy … whoever can be the most ruthless, greedy, selfish, egotistical, ignorant, arrogant, immoral, unethical and wicked can more easily become enormously wealthy.
For someone with a bit of ability, knowledge and training, they can easily make thousands fleecing the elderly, poor people, widows, or the mentally challenged. It takes a really ruthless person to do it but it is relatively easy money.
You can also become a drug dealer and buy trade and sell illegal, immoral and life destroying drugs and easily make a lot of money fast.
Someone in a developing country can also start a small business based on slave labor, children or indentured workers paid little or no money.
And that’s just the bottom of the barrel. Professionals in first world countries deal with these people to generate wealth for themselves. Then billionaires sit on top making more money on those below them … all the wealth if you follow it is based on taking advantage of weaker individuals. The whole system is based on taking advantage of lesser people.
It’s a meritocracy … a meritocracy of immortality, whoever can become the most depraved gets to win the world.
EDIT: … it’s amazing because I just finished watching this the other night
Basically a con artist that stole money from elderly, physically disabled and mentally challenged people, made millions and now lives the lap of luxury outside the country and no one can do anything about it. The infuriating part of it is, it wasn’t just him, there was a whole chain of lawyers, bankers, financial people and professionals that either enabled him, supported him or just allowed him to do what he did because everyone was making money … off of poor people!
The rich don’t magically get rich by being nice to others … they get rich because they abandoned their morals a long time ago and collect their money from as many poor people as possible, either directly, indirectly, secretly or distantly. And the wealthier they become, the more easily it is for them to do it and get away with it.
The system is built for abuse and moral depravity … is it any wonder we are destroying ourselves little by little.
While the system does select for psychopathic behaviors, it’s not a meritocracy because you don’t need to be exceptional at being ruthless, greedy, selfish, egotistical, ignorant, arrogant, immoral, unethical and wicked to become enormously wealthy. There are plenty of deplorable people who never make it big under capitalism. It’s mostly just a birth lottery. People who are lucky enough to be born into money, who end up having family connections, and are plugged into the oligarchy are the ones who statistically make it.
And there are actual studies showing that luck is the major factor
I think all the temporarily embarrassed billionaires are downvoting you. In their meritocracy they will be considered the worthy who can take everything, not these imposters like bezos. (bezos is a cunt…)
Gravy is something I cannot nail down. I don’t think I’m patient enough.
So, I bought some breakfast sausage links. Cook a few as normal, then maybe break some ground out of the casing and brown. Then add water and flour to thicken/roux? Add pepper? This is my intuition, but I really have no idea what’s right/wrong.
I was taught to use milk rather than water, but that’s basically right. Butter doesn’t hurt either if you’re making it without cooking sausage first, but the sausage might have enough fat on its own.
Close. You don’t add liquid and flour. You brown the meat, and render out fat. It’s vital to have a couple tablespoons of liquid fat in the pan. If you don’t get enough from the sausage, augment with a bit of butter or oil. Heat around medium.
Then sprinkle in flour, about equal in volume to the liquid fat, and stir. You gently fry the flour in the oil to cook off the raw flour flavor. It’ll go from white to about sand color. If your proportions are right it will look a bit like wet sand, and will smell like roasted nuts a bit.
Now slowly stir in cold milk while whisking gently to mix and prevent lumps. Scrape the bottom to deglaze any browned on flecks of meat. You want to heat it to just bubbling not to scorch the milk. It’ll thicken up.
Then grind a bunch of pepper in to finish it off, and pour over biscuits, fried taters, or whatever.
All gravy works this way, pretty much. Gravy for turkey? Replace the milk with poultry stock. Gravy for steak? Beef stock it is.
I cheat when im making gumbo. i toast like 2 cups of flour in a dry pan over low heat till it’s dark tan, and then add a cup of bacon fat and fry for a few minutes, instant roux, and then start introducing the stock. this way i don;t stir a roux for an hour.
A roux is fat (or oil or butter) and flour, not water and flour. You can add water-based liquids (water, stock, wine, etc.) to thin it out later, but the starches need to be coated in the lipids first.
If you try to do it the other way around (adding flour and water first and then fat afterward) the flour clumps up and you just get greasy dough balls.
“american style gravy” is a straight up fast roux. you fry the flour in the grease, and then add cream to make white gravy or stock if your family is lactose intolerant, whisk the hell out of it, pour over baking soda bicuits or fry bread, but just before, you crumble the base meat/sausage/bacon, back into the roux.
Good quality ground breakfast sausage, flour, milk, fresh sage.
Get the sausage good and brown and then add enough flour to the sausage to soak up the fat. Let that flour sit in the heat for a few minutes, stirring every so often, get it a little browned. Slowly add milk while stirring and scraping the stuck on flour off the pan. Add milk to desired thickness. FYI the gravy will gradually thicken over ~5 mins so let it sit for a bit before serving to make sure you’re at the right consistency. When you add the milk, toss in a few hearty pinches of fresh sage. Enjoy!
I prefer jimmy dean sage sausage, but any breakfast sausage (ground, not links) should work. Water won’t work, you need to use milk. I also like to add butter to the pan before adding the milk.
They won’t make people disable uBlock. They’ll just make it stop working, and people will just think the ads have gotten better or uBlock has gotten worse.
