Yep, us darn Canadurrrians and our shipping drugs INTO the U.S.🙄

I saw someone muse that it would be hilarious to see Trump get the SCOTUS logic their way into allowing more than a second term only for Obama to come out of retirement and curb stomp his ass.

Until it’s actually in an exec order or legislation, it’s ALWAYS just throwing numbers out there.

Left a bottle of Tabasco sauce in my car the last two days. It was about 5F this morning, I was a little worried when I found it, thankfully it was still viscous 🤣

I concede my comment was a vast over-simplification, but ultimately your last sentence is what I’m getting at.

Yes and no. Kind of a hard thing to type out, but we import a lot of oil from Canada to be refined here and then exported while adding in US supply and supply from other countries. At the end of the day, “it is complicated” is kind of the best I can do. Essentially, we use tons of different oil types, not all crude is…

And we worried about President Biden being unfit. God help us.

Also, if you were so unfortunate to watch his speeches for the overflow crowds, you would have witnessed a brain dump from a senile old man. All I heard was mumble, mumble, mumble, Nancy Pelosi 10,000 troops, mumble, mumble, mumble. Nothing of substance, just a stream of consciousness while looking sidecocked at the…

The mere fact that he said “we’re thinking 25%” just shows he’s just throwing numbers out there. He has no idea. A serious person would have a hard number and a reason for the tariff they’re implementing in... hey, about two weeks!

Then we should encourage him to eat more cheesburgers.

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.…

Don’t we import most of our oil from Canada? Seems antithetical to lowering gas prices.

The fucker has to die at some point. And the last images I’ve seen of him haven’t painted a rosy prognosis. 

Really hope the Premier of Ontario follows through with his threat and just turns off the lights on the eastern seaboard.

Agreed. Part of the reason people could afford to live on a single income with mostly domestic production 60 years ago is because they simply didn’t have as much crap back then. And the stuff they did have was made to last.

If I can take one good thing from this election cycle, it’s that it really made me look at my consumerism habits and go “dude, wtf are you doing?”

I too avoided ( and am still avoiding ) the news. After the election I figured we had a few months where I could pretend things were normal. All I did was skim one Yahoo news article to get the basics. And its so much worse than I thought it would be. Its bad. As in- we’ve spent years talking about how this sure…

Get a load of this putz.

We really should take a look at how much shit we buy though. Like fuck Trump and everything he stands for, but also, maybe we need to temper our consumerism just a tad.

Glad you can absorb further increases in costs.  Not all of us can.  A decent amount of us non-supporters are going to be collateral damage.
