He's referring to how the US was incredibly tariff heavy between 1789 and the early 1900s. During this time, there was little to no industry in the US and they imported most of their stuff from Britan, which obviously wasn't something they were too happy about. The new country went hard with the tariffs and it helped the country grow its own domestic industries.

Of course, it's not the 1800s anymore and expecting that implementing the same government policies from that time will make the country better is idiotic. This is a way to fund tax breaks to billionaires and corporations by heavily taxing the average American and having them think it's patriotic.

The government seems to be wanting to foster a domestic EV battery production industry. Might as well make entire cars while we're at it.

Dibs on digis!

On one hand, it's not physically possible to be that cold. On the other hand, it's Winnipeg. Could go either way.

My father used to really like Poilievre and send me clips of him roasting libs or whatever. That stopped immediately after Poilievre shook hands with the trucker convoy people. My father's a "law and order" kind of guy and that moment completely changed his mind on PP.

Lovely Complex is an anime/manga based around this idea. It's cute but the "will they, wont they?" trope goes on for an insufferable amount of time!

Just let the freaking creatives do their job and stop having some committee decide for them.

Reminds me of a joke I heard about Concord.

"Our marketing team was heavily involved in the making of our character designs"
"I can tell"

I used to be a funeral director. The majority of outsiders were unaware of pretty much everything we did. Often on purpose because thinking of death is uncomfortable.

The biggest "secret" is probably that the modern funeral was invented by companies the same way diamond engagement rings were. For thousands of years the only people who had public funerals were rich and famous. It was the death of Abraham Lincoln that sparked the funeral industry to sell "famous people funerals at a reasonable price". You too could give your loved one a presidential send off! The funeral industry still plays into this hard, and I've found many people are simply guilt tripped by society to have a public funeral.

I applied for a warehouse job and the interviewer loved me and my resume and said I was hired, I just had to fill out a basic literacy test. I was studying at university so it was a silly thing to ask but he said it's just a formality; they have to do it.

One question said "describe yourself in three sentences". I wrote something like "I am very punctual. I enjoy stacking boxes. I'm a self starter. I always do more than asked." Get it? It's four sentences but they asked for three. The fourth one being about doing more than asked. Funny right?? Yeah the interviewer called me back saying head office didn't find it funny and I was disqualified for failing the literacy test.

I figured I dodged a bullet because it must suck to work for a bunch of people without a sense of humour!

The constitution is about 19 pages long. Here's a pdf

Largest prison population both in absolute size AND per capita. Also, random fact, their constitution allows prisoners to be forced into slave labour. Also, another random fact, their prisons are run for profit. None of these facts are related of course!
