At the level given, it does smack of statist micromanagement.

This is so obvious. What are the magats thinking.

WSJ: “If other countries imposed reciprocal tariffs, it could devastate Hollywood studios…The U.S. movie industry had a $15.3 billion trade surplus in 2023 and generated a positive balance of trade with every major foreign market.

As Trump said in the interview yesterday (seriously) when asked if he takes responsibility for the economy, "The bad parts are Biden's economy, the good parts are Trump's economy." Not a surprise, but wow.

Fjord Motors? Sounds European. I only care about American car companies.

There's a man who pronounces the 't' in Chevrolet, so that it rhymes with toilet.

You know, if all of these other places would just become a part of the US, there wouldn’t be any more tariffs. Problem solved.

[Renauda]

We are not amused.

[LuFins Dad]

Come on… You know deep down that you really want to…

[LuFins Dad]

Seriously, is there anything to this Alberta NEXIT push?

Ask the bitch we call Premier.

Not in this household there is not, and nor will there be.

Best comment:

“ Look. Instead of having three iPhones you’ll have to be happy sharing an iPhone. You could attach a cord to it and hang on the wall. Would that be so bad?”

Second best comment:

“ Tariffs are simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together.”

Imagine pretending to think that China would pay $145 to the US government for the honor of selling me a $100 item.

It would literally be cheaper to just send us the shit for free.
