Canada

To the Americans crying about how unfair we're being by celebrating their economic loss and how "what are we supposed to do about our administration?"

Now you know a fraction of how every person in a country under US sanctions feels. The exact logic you're railing against is the same logic your country applies to Cuba.

The difference being those people have to deal with the immiserstion of brutal poverty and you just have to deal with having to find a new job and some mean Canadians online poking fun at you. Cry me a river.

American Voters: "Republicans are better for Job Creation! We heard it on The News."

How about you Americans let the rest of us enjoy a little bit of what you've been doing to all of us for the entire existence of the US.

You don't gotta do shit, just don't be a bitch about people laughing at you for the same shit y'all laughed at everyone else for.

And yea I know it's not YOU it's your country.

This is exactly the same behavior as when men come out of the wood work and say "I'm not like that" when people start taking about toxic masculinity and shit.

It's not all Americans but it's always an American.

Shedding jobs is literally what our administration has set out to do. Its what the Fed has been aiming for. They recently voted to hold interest rates, with some members voting to raise them. Idk who these "analysts" are, but they're fucking morons. Even if interest rates were cut, it would take like 6 months to a year to see wages and employment bounce back.

I'm def not saying it is good to be losing jobs, but it is intentional.

To me, an American, here's how this reads: In past economic downturns, the US government could at least construct a plausible story of our resilience and strength because of things like "inflation is high all over the world, but ours is lower than other trading partners" or "unemployment rate is higher than we'd like but still lower than other developed nations" and things like that. This time around, it's clear in many ways that our federal (and often state) governments are making things so much worse for us than necessary, not doing anything that's effective to fix the problems, and other developed countries / trading partners / former allies (even those who are facing similar issues and/or dealing with Trump's shenanigans) are doing better than us in metrics that are important for the working class.

Believe me when I say, I'll be pointing this out and rubbing it in MAGA supporters' faces along with everything else. Even a mediocre president and incompetent congress could have maintained the slow but steady recovery we were in the midst of before Trump took over.

Instead, they supported and elected a terrible president and malicious / complicit congress, and the resulting damage to our country, the economy, and our reputation is now cemented in. They voted to fuck everybody over, which tracks with the rapist and pedophile supporting crowd.

I'll join the Americans in the thread in reminding that this is less of Canada vs US and more of the 99% vs the 1%. A struggle that exist on each side of the border with the 1% cooperating across the border. I say this as someone who actively dislikes plenty of American culture. 😅

I too enjoyed this juicy bit of schadenfreude tho.
