@cnn.com Dana Bash just referred to the US “trade deficit” with Italy. You know there’s no such thing as a trade deficit. Please explain this clearly and stop dignifying the constant gaslighting and misinformation.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social it would be helpful if CBC explained the fallacy of “trade deficit” to your viewers. The assumption itself is false.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Have followed back @kathleensharpe.bsky.social, who only has one post but whose bio says she is "not a fan of the Oxford comma," and that's good enough for me.
