    Everybody here in the US keeps telling me that I’m wrong when I say this stuff will destroy our economy.

    I sincerely hope the rest of the world proves them wrong.

    “Due to large drops in revenue we’re forced to layoff workers.” Laid off MAGA voters, “But that wasn’t what was supposed to happen!”

            Typical cycle. Republican cuts taxes, economy stagnates, gov goes to hell. Democrat has to get more revenue, may need to raise taxes to fix damage, economy picks up. Republicans point at Dem and say he raised taxes and voters get upset. Repeat.

    It’s going to be great once every American is jobless and has all the free time to pursue hobbies involving CEOs, and the orange and rodent cancers in the Federal government. Think of all the possibilities!

    Wonderful news. Keep it up even when tariffs are removed. We MUST grow Canadian made for Canadians to purchase.

      See, that’s the thing that gets me. Our countries have had a great trade relationship for a long while now and some giant Cheeto needs to go and piss on everyone’s shoes.

      I wholeheartedly agree with you, produce Canadian items so the American market suffers. Make the people who voted for this situation realize what they’ve done to themselves.

        As an American mine is Europe/Canada > the rest of the developed world OR blue states > Mexico > other countries > red states. It’s surprisingly easy to avoid food from red states. For tech/online services I prefer European over everywhere else.

    In other news: Boo Hoo.

    Fuck America under the current government. It’ll take decades to repair the damage the autistic Nazi and his cuck orange granddaddy have done not only to Canada but the world.

      It’ll take far longer to repair the damage they’re doing to America. I’m not even sure most of it can be repaired.

      Honestly, boycott us. Our capitalist classes need to be taken down a peg.

        Yeah, I never thought I’d say it, but I hope the entire world shuns America and fucks us over.

        I doubt even that will fix us, though. We are past some kind of disinformation event horizon, where most of us will never see much reality outside their local life, including leaders who are drinking the kool-aid. Even Idiocracy is kinda idyllic because at least Kamancho was relatively open minded.

          If you’d told me 6 months ago that I’d rather buy Chinese products than American, I would’ve put all my money on Trump. Or just not believed you, because it sounds insane.

          Well, here we are…

        No, but our government and its corporate handlers are, and money is all they understand. They need to be hurt and we are unavoidable collateral damage.

        I’m an American myself. I want the country to die, so another may take its place. If the country doesn’t fall, the country will continue to slowly choke out everyone underneath it instead, with worse impact over time than the country outright collapsing.

        I only hold a grudge against the people who caused these problems in the first place. It’s my goal to support everyone I personally can.

        Not even a voting majority. Look up drop off votes. They stole the election. If your country uses electronic voting machines stop by any means necessary.
