@beermeplease The funny thing is, when people go from Canada to the US, they go through US Customs, so the drugs going South has nothing to do with us up here. Maybe the US should spend some money and upgrade their border crossings.

@JamesBugman You would try to just straight up walk it through, wouldn't you?

The diversionary mule .. 🤣🤣

@BrandNewMan Do you think there is a Canadian standing in the American border crossing booth?

@PHlover19701 OMG... any company is going to maximize profits. The "corporate greed" claim is leftist blather. Providing the avenue to do so by lopsided tariffs is unfair. Another driver has been US corporate tax rates. We're not too bad now after Trump's first term, but Democrats raise them every chance they get. That drives companies offshore faster than anything.

You may want to focus on cheap labor as the main driver and I'm not a union supporter by any means. And there is no doubt Asian workers are cheaper. US workers, like European workers, have all sorts of benefits, safety rules, etc that companies need to deal with. But that make it ok to bypass all that and have cheap labor build everything? No it does not.

The tariffs will not raise prices in the US. What they will do is drive more product to be manufactured in the US. That brings back our manufacturing industry and creates jobs. Dealing with unions is a different issue.

@BrandNewMan You have state sales taxes which apply to UK companies selling in those jurisdictions. Why should they not be?

Trump said that the tariffs are non-negotiable, so that's the end of that 🤷‍♀

@SunshineGirl State sales taxes are half or less of most EU VATs.

We'll see.

@BrandNewMan The important point is that they are not protectionist tariffs aimed at excluding international trade, as Trump implies . . they are applied equally to all businesses.

@HeidiA you might want to fact check that

@dale74 Why? Doesn’t it align with you ideology?

@dale74 And the rest of the world makes up 75% of it. Guess which one can survive without the other.

@tobynshorty Not at all, but it’s your job to make sure nutters who can’t keep a casino profitable aren’t given the whitehouse. And you failed. One term is excusable, but a second?

@HeidiA I didn’t fail. I didn’t vote for him. I understand worldwide frustration but it is only going to come back on the poor people of the US.😕

@tobynshorty It’s not over. If you work together you can apply pressure. You’re his employer after all. In large enough numbers you can achieve anything.

@MartinTheFirst And??

If you've nothing to offer .. maybe just don't. 🤷🏻

@BrandNewMan I think I offered a lot right there

@BlueVeins we became arrogant the United States has been arrogant for the last 50 years or longer

@BlueVeins Not you, more the people currently sitting in power.

@HeidiA We're the ones who put them there, over and over again. We have lost our sense of direction. Pain will be our teacher.

@KingofBones1 Perhaps you aren’t of sound judgement after all.

@darkmere1983 With servers in Bangladesh?

@MsSwan I’m not paying for anything right now, you muppet. But anymore nonsense off you and you’ll be going - off this post.

@HeidiA

@MsSwan Strange person

@ArtieKat my gaze prefers fixating on the future.

@thrash Bye bye, have a nice life.
