One Response to Trump’s Tariffs: Trade That Excludes the U.S.
-
I mean the first priority for both mexico and canada should be mexico and canada. They are both getting dicked in the same way and they can easily ship things back and forth. They just need to go back to nafta with without the usa and call it no usa. Probably would be good to use euros as the currency of exchange though.

I'm happy for you guys if you pull this off. It's sad for us but let's be real, we did this to ourselves and deserve this outcome.
-
Good. A unipolar globe is never good for anyone, except oligarchs. I mean, they love monopolies, as long as they control the monopoly.
-
Please do! With it's current behavior, the US does not deserve to sit at the adult table.
-
Good. Fuck America, we don't need your shit.
-
Love it, Trump is sanctioning us for being dumb enough to re-elect him. Is there a term for the schadenfreude you get when just trying to cope? Copenfreude?
-
But what will we ever do without the diabetes inducing ultra processed foods and high fructose corn syrup?!
-
Well , I guess that for some reason the US is not going to join the the trans-Pacific trade bloc

Despite the bravado from those who can't do math, we do benefit massively from trade with the US; especially in those sectors we've closed up domestically, of course.
If we struggle now and make a lot of hasty decisions, for instance, we do have a deep-water petrol port on the coast at the end of a long pipeline that we've been slow in bringing online for #reasons. In 7 years we could double our domestic oil refinement, which is half what we're getting by pumping it to Washington for processing.
And that's not the only sector. There are so many that, if we're dumb and struggle and ignore safety, we can bring up a fraction of the capacity we need by a few years after the next election.
More than wanting you yanks to be safe and healthy and happy, we do like the trade. And not just because it keeps you from invading!

German is a bit like build your own word.

Great. First, let’s boycott all the oligarchs: Tesla, Meta, Google and Amazon. Avoid them like the plague, use (preferably Canadian, European or South American) alternatives. Tell your friends and family, point them to alternatives.
Second, let’s hit the rest of the US economy. We don’t need McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, bourbon and sub par crap like that. Cancel your Netflix, Disney+, AppleTv or other superficial propaganda tool subscription. Better for your wallet and your health, and it doesn’t sponsor complicit Republicans.
Don’t travel to the US, it’s an overrated, third world country failed upwards anyway.

Add Microsoft to that first list. Many people are way too locked into their crappy software ecosystem.
-
We grow enough corn that we could have our own high fructose corn syrup, with blackjack and hookers.

Just switched . MS became a horrible company with recall and other forced nonsense. Also try calling them, even on a “business support” , you get a telephone bot and you have to answer very specifically to get through to a human. I needed about 10 disconnects and trials to finally get there. Really happy with proton for mail and libre office for the rest.

The only thing left that's good about the US is the nature. But I'm sure our first monarch will see that ruined too
-
Just think about all that prime real estate!
-
NAFTA already implies no USA because of the "free" part.
