Migrants coming through .... Canada? How?

I work on, collect, and own a lot of vintage stuff in our home. The difference between 60 years ago and today is that a lot of your typical household appliances, TV sets, irons, yadda yadda were not only way more expensive but also more robustly built. A boring AM radio for example would set you back a minimum of $20.…

I assume they’re going to crown one of his clueless sons, now that the Republican Party has no identity outside of the Trump brand.

It wont end after 4 years if he’s still alive.  There’s zero chance he’s giving up the throne before he’s worm-food.  We’re lucky if we’ll even get actual midterm elections in 2 years.

I mean at this point, logic is all out the door. We’re watching the American voter do the equivalent of Wile E. Coyote opening an explosive present. This is what they wanted, they’ll have to deal with it. However, I’m sure they’ll still be happy with their dear leader.

It’s gonna be a long four years, folks.

I’m up in Canada and I can say there is plenty of nervousness here about what’s to come for the US.  Unfortunately we are tied to the US in more ways than we care to admit and will ultimately suffer right along side you as Captain Creamsicle does his worst impression of a president.  This will be a long 4 years ahead…

The thing about price increases and corporations is that when prices go up, they rarely(if ever) go down. By the time ‘US manufacturing catches up’, us Americans are so used to the higher price that the corporations will just leave them high and continue to rake in profits. Tariffs are terrible for everyone except…

The problem is, you’re forgetting about a lot of people who didn’t vote for Trump and also aren’t able to afford increases in living costs.  I can afford it, I’ll be fine too.  But I feel bad that many families could be “punished” for something they never wanted.

Can I say how much I appreciate the take on these news stories - you’re not trying to be “objective” or “non-political” because no one can afford to be at this point. Keep calling out the bullshit, and don’t let the idiots off easy.

The biggest problem with that is the people who wanted this are too stupid to know why things are more expensive. They’ll be blaming Biden/Dems for the next 4 years for anything that goes wrong while praising Trump for anything that goes well in their life. Any real correlation or causation will be completely ignored. 

Just wait until Canada cuts off oil exports to the US and the price of gas jumps a dollar or two.  Try explaining to your uncle that he voted for that.

The grift in this administration is going to be mind-blowing. He and the first Mattress Pad have already launched their crypto currencies, and that, I’m sure, is just the beginning. Truly a sad new era for America.

This is the first time I’ve woken up as an American and genuinely not felt safe. And to all the people who chose this? Fuck you and I hope they come for your family first.

Pretty sure they weren’t thinking terribly clearly at the time, just “oh god, I have to deliver how many still?!?!”

I mean, at least this ability to nurture plant life will align well with the fact that all these stupid things will end up as (ugly) yard art sooner rather than later.  From death (sometimes for the drivers) will come new life.

I’m sure Amazon doesn’t even prepare their drivers for what they have to deal with, that would be openly admitting how shitty their work conditions are. It’s a bait-and-switch. Only the extremely desperate would take the job if they were honest.

I... don't have that issue? Then again I have enough self control to not blindly impulse-buy garbage off Amazon...

I understand how these things can happen, but why are so many videos of vehicles that have broken down on the tracks? What is it about those particular areas that cars break down on? I could see how running over tracks too hard might jar something loose and break something, but even then, you’re still coasting and…

How could you not though?!
