i wish i could buy multiples of anything....but there's a little thing called a trade/tariff war that's gonna make it difficult going forward

@beermeplease I think the tariffs on Canada and Mexico got delayed for another week or so. Winco has had really good prices on produce this week and we stocked up on it. Bags of blood oranges for 99cents (never been lower), cabbage 39 cents a pound, tomatoes 69 cents a pound, etc.

@beermeplease I think Trump is just doing it to troll and goad Trudeau

@NativePortlander1970 he's doing it to bully us because he can. i actually applaud trudeau in all of this. it is clear he wants us as a 51st state and he's admitted it....he knows we have the resources like potash, lithium etc that aren't in the us.....he even publicly stated he wants to put us in submission to cripple our economy. and with china saying the states can make a trade war, tariff war or "any kind" of war it's a pretty bold statement.....i ask mysel wtf is happening to us?

Whatever the tariffs end up as (if anything) will still pale to the tariffs you have on us. Did you know Canada has a tariff on us for lumber at almost 400%?

@Thrust last night trump said 250% so what is it?
Thrust · 56-60, M
@beermeplease for lumber I saw 385%. The point is that the tariffs have pretty much gone one way - with every country

@Thrust just tired of the bs...just like we had to spend 1.5 billion on border security all because us border services found less than 50 lbs of fentanyl cross into the states last year but trump calls it a crisis. that alone is a travesty....well maybe that 1.5 billion will be well spent on keeping illegal weapons coming up north and in the hands of gangbangers that are smuggling that 50 lbs of fentanyl every year into the states...it's a win win for both sides i guess

@beermeplease 50 pounds of fentanyl found at the border is enough to kill every human in this country, that stuff is extremely concentrated.

@Thrust if it’s concentrated in the pure form it has to be diluted. The amount on a the head of a pin can kill quickly even just touching it police have to go to the hospital. And imagine all the damage that fentanyl is doing to people who don’t die from it. Look at Philadelphia, that’s just one example. It will ruin society if it isn’t stopped.

@cherokeepatti i think what they found coming from mexico was in the thousands of pounds, and drugs from the states coming north was way more than what went south...it's a problem for all 3 countries, but for trump to point his country's drug problem solely on other countries is bs...

@cherokeepatti they mix it with other street drugs so many don't know they are taking it.
