No way tech companies won't manipulate this to their benefit right? Gonna be having routers shipped in decoy packages. I'm not buying backdoor infested mess they're gonna peddle at an unreasonable price cause there can be no outside competition.
I'm in Ohio. I wonder how hard it'd be to drive to Canada, pick up a router, and drive back?
Or hell......maybe just drive to Canada. I'm sure I can find a job and a place to live, right? Just go to a Tim Hortons and say "Hey, I'm gonna work hete now, because fuck America!" and Canadians are like, legally obligated to be nice. I'm sure it'll all work out, as long as I share some donuts.
The hardest part will be getting used to pink money.
I mean, seriously Canada? You a big fan of monopoly money?
You jest, but I suspect this is going to be a Thing. I mean, people were willing to do it for eggs (and getting caught at the border), and a router's a rather larger purchase.
