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.

In IT it’s called the scream test. You unplug it and see who screams.

Here's some hints...the lumber we need to build houses, the oil we use to power/heat those houses and transport goods around the country (so, anything that spends time on a semi or delivery truck) and cement. So anyone that needs to purchase things that's are transported or wants a house should be piping up soon.

I love how they didn't even exempt heating oil for the northern states. They acknowledged that tariffing it was fucked up by only doing a 10 percent tariff on it but it didn't cross their minds to just exempt it. A ten percent price increase on heating is going to literally kill people.

Dude let covid burn through New York City because it's like 80% Democrats, letting people freeze is par for the course.

I hate that you're right. In my poli sci classes they taught that every political decision has winners and and losers but I never thought we'd see a president killing Americans on purpose.
