Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.... America needs to learn, I say this as an American.

Absolutely would not surprise me one bit.

GDP is largely a bullshit metric anyway.
Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.
The first economist says to the other "Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.
They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says "l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.
Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

Honestly, I don't think there's going back to any level of normal. Maybe by quickly destroying the system, we will be able to quickly rebuild it (after all the destruction to everyone's lives)

In Spanish, as far as I know, "americano" = inhabitant of the American continent, "estadounidense" = person from the US, so I don't think Mexicans would be offended at the first, at least not in Spanish.

virtue signalling, hes probably doing this for political pts.
-
just mentioning will put companies into a panic.
-
those "proaganda-tainment" isnt going to mention trumps tariffs negatively affecting maga voters. i distinctly remember almost none of them did when he put tariffs in effect the 1st term.
-
we dint even investigate the election machines in 2020, because the DNC was so afraid of being called out rigging themselves.
-
china has thier own internal problems, thats probably the least of thier worries.
-
Elon and Trump seem to be intentionally destroying the system, or are so profoundly stupid that they've pulled a "We did it Patrick! We saved the city!"
Honestly with those two I can never tell if they're being dumb or malicious.
-
The problem with that is trying to ramp up oil and gas production in the US is a losing proposition. Even with a friendly administration, it takes a long time and a lot of money to do it and it may not pay off.
-
We wanted to. Unfortunately, the corporations run the country and so we have no effective opposition party. The Democrats are as beholden to big money donors as the Mazis.
-
The people who voted for Trump or stayed home are not going to understand that. They are the snowflakes and so caught up in their feelings that they can't be reasoned with.
Every day there's more "leopards eating faces" stories and in pretty much every single one, the face-eaten dumbarses Don realize that what happened was part of the plan all along.
-
I can definitely tell that they are always being malicious. Sociopaths like them doesnt do humanitarian acts, it is always exclusively about themselves

And more renewable energy. And more high speed rail. And has over 90% of the worlds BEV buses.
There’s some truth to Chinas claim that they’re still a developing country and they need to massively build out to bring more of their population up to developed standards.
There’s also some truth to the claim that central planning without regard to supply and demand means they seem to be building out more power than they can use. Hopefully that translates into coal power plants going unused
-
Michigan, a swing state, is in the crosshairs as well. They already have frequent major outages in the Detroit metropolitan. I don't think this will help.

If you went anywhere else in the world and said "I'm USian", they wouldn't know what you meant. You'd probably first say "I'm from the US".
"USian" sounds terrible.

Let the southern bastards freeze in the dark...not permanently, just a brief period, followed by an export tax. Cut power once in March, then again throughout the NBA playoffs in April.
At this point we should do this whether or not Trump reverses course. Make it clear there is nothing he can do to avoid it.
I'm sick of this market fuckery back and forth. I'm convinced he's trying to depress the Canadian dollar and the value of Canadian companies and industries, so that oligarchs in the US can buy them up. It's a hostile corporate takeover of our country. Fuck him, we need to go hard - permanent tariffs as long as Trump is in office...and we need legislation to ensure 51% Canadian ownership of strategic resources, as well as no American investment right now. If necessary, we need to nationalize strategic resources and industries.
What we don't need is a fucking tax break for the rich. We're on a war footing right now and our leaders need to accept this. The people have largely accepted it.
