Exactly, clearly they'll still pay for it if it's important enough to exempt. In Canada's case we could give Alberta the extra revenue just so they won't get too cranky.

Canada's boss move is to remove the intellectual property laws that the US asked for and let Canadian companies and consumers thrive again.

Canada shouldn't retaliate with US tariffs

Why the fuck would you want to go back to Ohio?

That state sucks balls.

Part of me thinks this is so they have an easy way to drop prices after people get used to everything costing more

This is a technique commonly employed by Sisi in Egypt so while it'd be surprising that America sunk that low that quickly I can see it happening. And by the way, yes America is now being compared to Egypt out of all countries so... Uh... Good luck.

It’s already destroyed.

Not by him, his threats and tariffs are old news. By the people - The People, the royal We - who actively, unironically and with great power of democracy, chose an aggressive, compromised, and stupid fascist with ample evidence that this, hate, and war were a consequence.

Because the hate and apathy was stronger I guess. For electing a woman. For people being bullied by a juvenile government wielding adult violence for who they aren’t - a cis white right male.

They went to the dark side and joined a tri-polar world of evils to bully and rape the rest of us until we all burn to death. So yeah.

Never again.

Trump is running the US the same way I ran my cities in SimCity2000

I live in Texas, and it's hard to overstate how much of our produce is imported from Mexico. This would be an almost immediate 25% price hike on food that basically can't be grown at scale here because we don't have Mexico's climate. Surely he'd exempt food from whatever he's about to do. Right...?

Yes, he meant several things while campaigning. Like destroying trans peoples lives, freeing nazis, and punishing those who deigned to attempt to hold him accountable for his many crimes. Oh also for destroying climate protections, deporting brown people, shall I go on? All the things like lowering prices? No absolutely not. That would benefit regular Americans and not hurt minorities, so it doesn’t make the list

Here you go

WAY more. We import a lot of food from Mexico as is, and the immigration and ethnic clensing the Trump goverment is engaging in is already forcing farmers to watch their crops rot on the ground with no one to harvest them. So we're following in the great tradition of Stalin and Pol Pot, we have a dumb fucking asshole with a hard on for ''strong man tactics'' demanding we change how we get food in many extreme ways immediately, you know, instead of gradual change, so we'll all get to see what an artifical famine looks like! Do you think Trump will let other nations send us emergency rations so we won't die? Or will he confiscate them at a dock or border and have them dumped into the ocean so he doesn't look weak? North Korea knows.

I can't believe some people think that putting tariffs on a country means the country will just give the government 25% of everything and the merchants of that country are not just going to raise the prices to match the new expenses(or maybe even a little bit more since they have a good excuse to change prices).

I guess I can stand to eat a bit less, we can call it the economic collapse of the US diet! Just think of all the profits from the diet books! To bad they are going to cost 30% more now that my Mexican publisher is paying a tarrif to bring the books into the US. That's OK, spending more money on the book just means that you won't be able to afford as much food, making the diet work even better!

Man have you seen him speak? I don't know what concoction of drugs he is on or if he's just showing his age but he's definitely not the rager he was 5 years ago. Seems tired and much less coherant. Makes me optimistic he might be in mental decline more than I theorized previously. But if we go by the 'asshole' rule he'll outlive most of the Senate just out of stubbornness and hatred. We definitely need a quick solution.

I'm not sure what to do though. Pitchforks at city hall? mean letters to white house interns? Protests that the news wont cover? I live in one of the bluest states there is.

We certainly cant count on the Corporatist dems doing much of anything, except if there is any pushback they will try to use it as a photo op while contributing no support to it at all.
