The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

I'm not gonna go homeless but I'm definitely in negative growth.

In December I had $300 bucks on a gift card that I wanted to spend on my photography hobbies. Now I've just loaded the monies into the bank account and my hobby is looking at the wall. Looking at my phone is enough photography I guess.

But I remember how it was to be homeless when I had just migrated here. How can I be here looking towards a future that includes that as a real possibility? I'm just here awaiting the new part pricing I'm gonna face. It sucks.
