Who wants to bet that the idea of retaliatory tariffs wasn’t gamed out beforehand and they have no strategy?

He has a concept of a strategy.

US companies would pay a total rate of 104% on Chinese imports.

The more money people lose, the more desperate they become. This is going to get interesting. Who goes after Trump first? The ultra rich or the average working class?

I've been using Thunderbird for email for years. I use it with some SMTP servers on shared hosting platforms, a yahoo account and a few gmail accounts - one with calendars. I don't have any problems with it. Runs stable, doesn't crash or do weird things. My only complaint would be search is a little clunky, but it works.

I had to use Outlook client for year at another job and that client was hot garbage.

I don't know anyone in Canada still planning trips to the USA. My cousin spends 2-3 months out of the year in California. She's been doing it for 10 years now. She had cancelled all those plans going forward.

There is even more of a risk for Canadians to go to the US. It's always been dangerous in the US with the insane amount of guns in the average idiots hands, but now we've got Ice Bros itching to hurt people as well. Fuck that noise.

The US really doesn't offer us anything we can't get from another safer country.

The girlfriend and I (both Canadian in Canada) were just planning a summer trip to Niagara Falls like 30 minutes ago. Neither of us have been. We were looking at flights and didn't realize we were looking at flights to Niagara Falls airport in the US. We were both like "Whoa. Nope!"

If this had been last year, we would have flown into either airport and visited both sides of the border. But there is not a chance in hell I'm crossing to the US side during this trip. I'm absolutely not taking a chance of wrecking my vacation, or weeks of my life, getting nabbed by some Nazi Ice Bro and shipped to a detention camp in Arizona.

I seem to be lacking in Soma and orgies.

Ah crap. That means I'm an Epsilon.

Love it!

Make it happen, captain.

There already is a travel advisory in Canada. It's more personal though.

If I tell my friend I'm going to the states they'll stage an intervention.

"You're desire to travel to the US hurts me in the following ways..."

I'm not sure of the shape change reason, but I prefer the thinner cans. I have a candy store with soft drinks and I can put more of the thinner cans on the shelf. Usually one more can per shelf.

Next, Trump signs an executive decree that says they can now make champagne in the US because the US had been treated very unfairly by France by not allowing champagne to be made elsewhere and now that the USA can do it, everyone is going to become very rich.

...or something.
