Aaand then the Waltons pull out of Canada under executive order of the president for the trade war.
Sound mentally'eded*? That's par the course bud.
Cool. So now we're just making up imaginary scenarios as an excuse to subtly say slurs.
And no fucks were given. The billionaire class can take their ball and go home and the rest of us will survive.
Just like the imaginary scenario where “if we tax billionaires they’ll move away”.
OK. Europe has worker's rights. They seem to be doing just fine.
Even better than that. Walmart had their lunch eaten when they tried to expand into Germany.
And now Walmart is losing market share to those same European grocery stores expanding in the U.S.

As if. The waltons are more powerful then the president.
Not really he could make their life hell. Plus Canada is a small market if they had to they would pull out to protect their cash cow.
I don't think Canada is too worried. We have a Prime Minister with a BA in Economics from Harvard, a Masters in Economics from Oxford, and a Doctorate in Economics from Oxford. USA has a barking mad sociopath that has temper tantrums whenever he doesn't get his way. We're moving on...
Until people take a stand
If they were, they would get gas costs drop and tradewar stop, both to save money on transport and maxinize profits.
I said they are more powerful than the president...not the oil barons.
They're more powerful within their fields of influence. By in large the president is overall more powerful.
