How much health care spending goes towards car accident victims?

How much could we save with autonomous vehicles replacing the human drivers involved in those accidents?

Not to mention significantly reduced insurance premiums.

On the other hand, how much income tax from litigation lawyers and auto body mechanics - and traffic enforcement ticketing revenues would be lost to various levels of government?

Your research provides an excellent analysis of "what is"—but how about looking at "what could be"?The economic model outlined at equitynation.ca aims to replace our current, illogical monetary and tax policies with alternatives that increase productivity, lower cost externalities, and create more competitive prices. Rather than chasing endless regulations to pin down an undefinable tax base, it targets the only base naturally defined by human interaction: the flow and use of money. It also establishes a clear line between currency and debt as mediums of exchange, and money as the actual quantification of production and wealth.

Your article just gave me one more reason to question the wisdom of importing Chines Evs into Canada. Apparently Carney and his gang are determined to make us a protectorate of the Chinese for some unknown reason. I wonder how many folks who purchase one of those Evs has any idea of the potential pact they’ve signed with the devil?

And I can't wait to hear the crying and gnashing of teeth from the folk who buy those Chinese EVs and then try to drive them over the U.S. border.

Canadians are governed by a welfare / nanny state that seems to have the notion that sovereign citizens choosing what to buy and from whom is the least acceptable alternative when, under the thumb of the state, the illusion of safety and the "public good" are its prime directives. And, as long as the incurious grazers who vote don't raise a stink, the default condition is usually not freedom to choose. Risk taking has no reward in such bureaucracies as economic benefits are not part of the job description.

You replied a while ago that you could open equitynation.ca on your telephone but not computer. I have had that problem and found that I had to upgrade my wifi router and adda POD to get the signal stronmg enough.

In the end, it turned out that my problem accessing the site was due to the DNS filter I was using. Once I explicitly opened equitynation.ca in the filter, I had no trouble. And it's a great site, by the way.
