There's no way the wall would look real as your perspective shifts while yoi over closer to it. Most humans would react to that by at least slowing down.

Interesting that in the most consumerist nation on earth, objects have more value than people.
This is the type of reporting that feeds into Trumps hierarchical world view. Anything short of blindly agreeing with what he says is an affront, a 'smackdown' even.
Dude politely declined to address it. Which he shouldn't given his position. Not news worthy.
Most civilized countries would respond to this situation by denying entry. Not throwing a person into your for profit detention system to make a quick buck.
At long last the world gets to see America's true colors.
The vast majority of people either voted for Trump or didn't vote at all. Americans chose this madness either through action or inaction. They should feel accountable for the forthcoming consequences. Democracy in action.
An American with self awareness. So glad I left corporate shithole Reddit for this place.
US is in a state of slow implosion. Rest of the world needs to look at collaborating while excluding the US.
My guess is China will fill the void left by the disintegration of USAID in order to boost its global standing.
I strongly encourage all nations to begin violating US intellectual property rights. Nations like India already do so with pharmaceuticals.
Eventually other nations will need to take on the mantle of tech and pharmaceutical research and development and we don't want to live in a world where all this progress is lost.
Americans have chosen to nuke their own democracy and we need to minimize the damage done to the rest of the world as much as possible.
Oh so this is just layperson's math on the back of a napkin. Thanks for clarifying.
Trump and his ilk are trying to spread the idea that the US doesn't have to buy the $482 billion worth of goods ans services from Canada and its doing so essentially as a 'favor'.
Canada does not have the systems in place to sell to the rest of the world efficiently, especially oil. Which is part of why the Canadian economy is more dependent on the US than vice versa.
It looks like ~20% of the $482 billion figure you've cited is oil which the US could reasonably procure from elsewhere, even domestically, if there was a will to do so. Especially considering that Western Canada Select is high in sulfur and needs more refinement, making it less valuable on the global market.
Source? Does this include energy / oil or only consumer goods?
Is this dude literally just a Mossad plant? American politics makes much more sense now.
