Personally I reserve downvotes for rulebreaking, offensive comments, spam, things of that nature. Differences of opinion I just don't upvote. Perhaps this is more common on Lemmy than other places.
I'm sorry but cutting regulations and giving handouts to business for "development" has been the order of the day for the last 40 years and it's been bullshit. It's not any less bullshit because a new red tory face is selling it. It will end up the same old story: Huge promises of future income fall flat followed by "necessary" cuts.
It would be such a gift if this party could tear itself apart.
