@penpencilbrush I actually received a survey asking about my intentions to (not) travel to the USA and what incentives might work. I commented in the other category and indicated we would not set foot in the US until there is a complete overhaul of the federal government. My mom was American but I feel no connection with what is going on south of the border.

Tariff Exemptions Are Terrible News for Electronics Repairability - #iFixit

ifixit.com/News/110121/tariff-

"Apple succeeded in negotiating a tariff exemption for consumer electronics. Did you know that exemption doesn’t cover spare parts?"

Succinct words on tariffs, old electronic devices & the Right to Repair. Well worth your time.

@SnowshadowII We were just saying this today. here are a few examples:

Carrots at another store 2.50 - Zehrs Loblaws $5

Bananas everywhere but Loblaws 59 cents / lb Zehrs Loblaws 79 cents

Oat milk we buy 3.49 - Zehrs Loblaws 4.49.

We only go there for there extreme deals. Otherwise we will not support Gaelen Weston’s greed.

I wanna see giant Trump stickers saying

"My Tariffs DID THAT!"

on empty shipping containers arriving from China in the Port of LA.
#Tarriffs #China
Hold a press conference at tbe Port greeting the Chinese ships with empty containers.

📢📢📢 Listening to Jeffrey Sachs here, one of the world's absolute top economists, it became completely clear what is going on economically. Sachs uses plain language, and I finally "got" the big picture. Highly recommend!

"Jeffrey Sachs Goes Off, Roasts Donald Trump’s Trade Talk, Says 'Mickey Mouse Is Smarter Than Him."

It's been long clear, but it's getting clearer and clearer:
Americans are gonna pay the price of F-ing Around.
But what nobody realizes: every destruction will cost years of hard work and money to restore.
So Americans, say good bey to the good old days.

The Trump clown-show raised Chinese tarrifs to 145%
I predict China is going to issue a policy for industry to stop attaching "Made in China" labels to products.
China will be paying import tarrifs to USA that is a bit higher than 10%
(Other countries will export Chinese goods at 10% to USA and take a cut)
