Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

They can just take their sweet, sweet time to take them off, time they get paid for. Probably more relaxing too.

I used to be a pump jockey, I personally wouldn't have minded. Thats just my take of course.

[whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world]

Ohh, that’s clever. It took me a moment.

[bdonvr@thelemmy.club]

Automotive too

Even 38.3% of Californian voters voted for Trump. The Trump party only has a 9 set majority in the house, and California has 9 of them, all of which are up for reelection in 18 months. Targeting individual states probably isn't that helpful.

Christ- mexico was becoming a good ally for manufacturing.

[twentyseven@lemmy.world]

I had to look that up, because it didn't sound right. Turns out it's 248.93 pesos per day, not per hour

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

Ah shit you're right, mb. Yeah, Manufacturing is staying in Mexico.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

I was wrong with my numbers earlier, made an edit.

[zelaya@lemmy.today]

México could send 25% of his citizens.

When everything in the world is zero sum, there is no cooperation.

Such a sad way to view the world.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

They will just blame Democrats

[brodysseus@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

This assumes the people in the red States would see the chain of causation, which is unlikely.

It will create an enemy out of the taxing countries. I dont have a better idea but at this point his base will never turn from him.

I'm curious if they're gonna start pulling out of our stock market

And the flew there on the 4th of July 🫡

Justin Trudeau tried to speak to the American people and did play heavy on the lasting friendship between the two countries. Will that dull the backlash against Canada? Trump wants an enemy out of Mexico, Canada, and China.

[gammelfisch@lemmy.world]

Potash and Canada exports a lot to the USA. This would affect the US agricultural sector.

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

The idea is this will force red state senators to do something. It worked during the Bush administration, anyways.

[whoisearth@lemmy.ca]

Trump wants an enemy out of Mexico, Canada, and China.

Which is hilarious because one of those things is not like the other

[slickgoat@lemmy.world]

Trump's base is a lost cause, but the pain may get the soft Dem voters to get off their arses and turn out for the next election.

Nothing will shift Maga, so appealing to them is wasted.
