@Renauda said in We need a Venezuela thread: Trump has already systemically dismantled the Canadian steel and aluminum industry and the auto industry in Ontario and Quebec. … You sure it was “systematic”?

Got refunded for the missing monitor and ordered a new one to arrive tomorrow. ChatGPT convinced me that if it had been malice on the part of the driver, they'd have never marked it "delivered". I guess the malice is on the part of whomever got my monitor and did not give it back. Hopefully the delivery tomorrow will go without a hitch.

I noticed that today. Prescient am I.

@Mik said in More Pit Bull senselessness: No Dobies. Or Jack Russells.

@Doctor-Phibes It's just the typical act of making a drama out of a crisis. It's what politicians do. Up here we refer to it as performance politics. The Trudeau government knew very little about accountable governance but a lot about the gimmickry of performance.

Was he tricked or ticked?

It would hold a lot of troops of the British try to burn it down again.

My mouth watered so it passed that test

It's not legal and it won't happen. And most of Trump's pure idiocy will go away with him. I am not concerned by post-trump "Maga", whatever that will mean. I'm just not seeing the crazy in people like Vance or Rubio.

At least my mortgage, which I thought was super high at the time, is still lower than I could refinance for today.

Finally got the car back this morning, the warranty provider approved the repair at the dealership. That’s impressive, as the repair will cost 40% of the purchase price of the vehicle. I honestly wouldn’t have expected they would do so. So I took it to the dealership, and they are telling me it can take up to two weeks…Ugh, And that’s taking it past the guaranteed return date. So there’s a very real chance that I might be exchanging/returning the car.
