Keep checking the Orange Clown into the boards! When will the Nordiques return to Quebec?

honestly countries affected should just go the nuclear route and embargo the US. in retaliation. Canada especially.

Yes it will fuck both sides, but it'll get the point across these tariffs are stupid

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

The very best thing that can happen for our future is for these tariffs to have disastrous consequences. It will suck for all of us and people will suffer needlessly, but we're here because people have lost all sense of consequence and think this is all semi-fake WWE roleplay and that their "side" is somehow destined to win some great ideological battle.

If we crash and burn as a nation and hit a new great depression, I like to think that people may generally put more thought into who they elect to represent their needs.

Either way we're cooked, so I would like to see some good come from this.

Stockpile about a month's worth of food and fresh water and get a gun.

Hopefully this trade war doesn't devolve into an actual war....

Does this break/invalidate the existing free trade agreements between the countries? Does this mean that NAFTA and TRUMPFTA are now void?

This is what we get now that prats are running the US economy on adolescent IQs and emotions.

The "women are too emotional to be leaders" crowd are running the show with the mentality of a grade school bully

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I wonder how long Trump and his buddies are going to be able to ignore the mess they are making of the stock market now which hurts his businesses world supporters. It certainly is going to hurt US car companies hard.

Isn't it great that a narcissistic jackass with no understanding of economics is Duning-Krogering all to death?

Grow a spine and make it 100 percent. The quicker trumps masters learn it wont work the better.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's an emotional response. You don't win with emotion, you win with a pragmatic strategy.

I think the idea is to let trump continually be the one who escalates, with the hope that the American public notice it's him and not those evil Canadians who are stealing America's trade deficit.

Tariffs hurt the country imposing them the most

As an American, I don't see a choice. This is a trade war, shots were fired. I hope it's a short war.
