The simplest explanation is probably the best. - Let’s try to bring everyone up, rather than down to the lowest common denominator.

@MatinaStevis Beavers. Those bastards will chew through anything if you give ‘em a chance. Trees, bushes, jugular veins - that kind of thing.

@NotFarRNotfarL @loudepetris @NickVeniamin That’s crazy. Up here in Canada property taxes on a $1.5 million home are about 6k a year.

@Cate20230805 @BasedMikeLee @DOGE Then go read a book about the rise of Hitler and the slide of Germany into fascism. You’ll find many similarities to the 1930s and what is going on in America right now. If that doesn’t scare the crap out of you, nothing will.

@cinematic_archv @CorneliusTmge @_SoloDad_ @BigSmartHandsom @PTolson1 @TheFl0orIsLaVa The Canadian government has been operating like that for 150 years. It’s the way our system works.

@cinematic_archv @CorneliusTmge @_SoloDad_ @BigSmartHandsom @PTolson1 @TheFl0orIsLaVa Isn’t an unprovable hypothesis. Basically you are saying there must be lots out there because we aren’t catching much. However, it could equally be said that we aren’t catching much because there isn’t much out there.

@Cate20230805 @BasedMikeLee @DOGE Your predecessors certainly did. At the end of the second world war America set the standards in the Bretton Woods agreements. America became the central economy of the West. If you don’t want that deal anymore, that’s fine, but it means you lose the privileges that came with it.

@Bytowngal @Gray_Mackenzie We should just cash in those treasury bonds. Shit eveyone should. The $30 trillion held outside the US would bankrupt them so fast.

@MelissaLMRogers You can be mad at both. It isn’t an either/or thing. And we get lots of services.

@_SoloDad_ @CorneliusTmge @BigSmartHandsom @PTolson1 @TheFl0orIsLaVa No, Trump agreed to the USMCA. It had tariffs on some goods which all agreed to. Now he’s backing out of a deal he made. He can’t be trusted as an honest dealer.

@_SoloDad_ @SerraAetheria @PTolson1 @TheFl0orIsLaVa Don’t you get it? You don’t stick to your existing trade deals why would anyone want to strike a new one with you? Everyone is looking to find more reliable partners right now. We aren’t waiting for America to sort their shit out.

@_SoloDad_ @SerraAetheria @PTolson1 @TheFl0orIsLaVa Not all tariffs are bad. There’s lots of tariffs even between Canada and the US that have been negotiated. But blanket tariffs are just a blunt instrument that aren’t particularly useful. And if it’s only 15%, how do you think that’s gonna solve any problems?

@_SoloDad_ @SerraAetheria @PTolson1 @TheFl0orIsLaVa Trust me. You’re still gonna pay income tax. You’d need a tariff of over 100% on all goods to get the revenue that you get from taxes. The math has been crunched on this before. That also assumes the other countries are still gonna buy your stuff to keep up other revenues.

@_SoloDad_ @SerraAetheria @PTolson1 @TheFl0orIsLaVa Good luck with your expensive aluminum, oil, electricity, potash, and steel. All things you are unable to produce at the volumes you need.
