Worked Capital Markets trading desks for 25 years. Ran a small company and now teach accounting in college. Just trying to make sense of it all. Can’t we all just get along? Does it seem like we are in the “bread and circus” phase of the Roman Empire?
Are you telling me that Ukraine couldn’t use a mobile hospital? Besides, if the H5N1 predictions are right, we may need them anyway.

please consider the Canada-Denmark land border on Hans Island.

This can be used to apply for EU membership. You don’t have to go that far, but I guarantee it’s a bargaining chip the US wouldn’t see coming

For those that care about facts, the attached chart shows the size of the Canadian Federal Government as percent of the total population. Yes it it tracking higher, but it is by no means out of control.

The quicker the world accepts the fact that Trump is Krasnov and is willingly burning it all to the ground at the behest of his GRU handler - Putin - the better. The US can not be trusted. It breaks my heart to say it. Maybe the US survives, but the world is for ever changed and not for the better.

Be honest now, who wants to see a journalist whip out a cat laser pointer at the next press conference and have Trump scurry across the floor of the Oval Office trying to catch the dot?

The drooling imbecile is one bad hamburger from sitting on a park bench screaming at clouds and shrubs.

In a stunning display of hubris and the complete inability to read the room, the US completes the first round of talks with Russia - but Ukraine was not in attendance?

Besides the grandstanding and the attempt to be first in line to belly-up to the mineral trough, what the hell is the Us doing?

The Tangerine Twatwaffle is about to make US cars completely unaffordable. His plan is to stack the Canadian Steel and Aluminum tariffs on top of the previously announced ones - making them 50%.

The US doesn’t have anywhere near the domestic capacity to meet their demand

What is a tariff? It seems that we need a concrete example flying about. Please use this as you like.

This is Hans Island. It lies between Greenland and Canada in the Franklin Channel. The Island is split between Canada and Denmark. That shared border means Canada could legally apply to join the EU. We don’t want to abandon the US, but we may not have a choice.

Tariffs need explaining:

The US levies a 25% tariff on Canadian imports.

The importer in the US pays that 25% to the US Treasury.

The importer then recoups the 25% tariff by hiking prices to consumers.

The 10% energy tariff will hit all electricity in the East and all oil and gas.

Good luck.

Why does the US keep insisting it’s flex to the rest of the world is to repeatedly punch itself in the yam sack?
