Trump Tariff Boogaloo

Yeah, when you starve to death, the taxes stop, 100%.

I thought Guinness had a plant in the US for the American market.

It doesn't brew Guinness stout.

Noooo!!!! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, noooo!!!

They begged DENMARK, after all the shit about Greenland?!!

Well, you can kiss all your American craft breweries goodbye.

It ain't Guinness if it ain't brewed in Dublin. Full stop.

Next it'll be Australia for Ostrich eggs

Nah. Texas. In the late 90s, ostrich and emu meat was supposed to be the "Next Big Thing for Texas." It wasn't and a lot of farmers just said "Fuck it!" and released their birds into the wild.

Tariffs Could Spike Boeing's Plane Prices By $40 Million

‘Danish Viking blood is boiling.’ Danes boycott US goods with fervor as others in Europe do so too

Canadians Want to Cut off Americans’ PornHub Access

Cross-border trips to the U.S. reach COVID lows with nearly 500,000 fewer travellers in February

I think I mentioned this earlier, but 1/3 of foreign visitors to Las Vegas come from Canada.

A lot of retail businesses along the border also rely heavily on Canadian cross-border shoppers.

Hot take: I actually don't like Porhub.
Interface is too busy. It's memory-greedy. It bludgeons its way past Adblock.
Just a pain.

I already know this wont happen because people are dumb, but...
There is a difference between made in the USA and a USA brand, like Coca Cola in the EU is made (maybe under license?) by factories in the EU, so so not buying it impacts that factory...
Bourbon is made in the USA, so just buy whiskey from the UK...

Yeah I hear the times to cross the border every morning on the news station I listen to on my way to work, they're waaaaaay down, like a 3 minute wait down from 45 mins to an hour

Basically the only people crossing are the Point Roberts residents then, damn!

picked up some smoothie ingredients yesterday at my local fruit market.

NOTHING from the USA, even the stuff that traditionally we would be getting from there this time of year (straw/raspberries, for instance). Everything is from Mexico or south of there.

For some reason, a lot cheaper as well.

I think that as we develop alternate trading partnerships there's a continual decline in the need to rebuild the ones we used to be almost exclusive with America in.

Like any relationship we've put up with the bullshit for ages and now that it's crossed into gaslighting and other misrepresentations, we're done.

Maybe if Trump put a 25% tariff on the Dodgers coming back into the country the rest of the league would have a chance this year

Cry me a river!!!

The economists and their textbooks were wrong. They failed to consider externalities.

Something similar needs to happen here. We need signs up that say "this is what your item now costs because of the tariff of the import country."
