A Shadenfreude Morning (media.piefed.social)

Usually I am sympathetic towards people losing their jobs. However, that goes out the window when their government is hostile and I am watching family struggle due to the trade war.

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.

Canadian here, and I agree. Sadly global products tend to lead directly to the 1%, and its best if most people buy from local and small businesses -- for the environment too. And to donate / help poor countries so they can be better self sufficient.

help poor countries so they can be better self sufficient.

So so many problems would be solved by this. Help at macro country-to-country level, not on individual level.
