Start counting tech giants and financial services in your trade calculations you deceitful little bitches.

There is no trade deficit. The US exploits the entire fucking world through Tech and Finance, and then whines that they intentionally prioritized tech and finance over manufacturing for decades.

You want to go back to manufacturing everything yourselves, fine, the rest of the world can go back to running their own finance systems and regulating their own tech companies.

Richest country in the world whines that it's not rich enough.

I really like seeing how the EU is trying to push back on US tech, wish Canada had the balls to do it. I am moving my stuff away from US tech, I luckily (well unluckily) had my place flood so a lot of stuff got destroyed. I am going to replace what I need second hand what I can, than a lot of it will be used for me to make a home lab.

My old home lab was a few Raspberry pi’s running pihole, cups, and wireguard. It became more complex in 2025 and is currently two pi 5’s running pihole, nextcloud, immich, a bunch of the *Arr suite of apps, Vaultwarden, and probably more apps I am forgetting about, than a pi 4 with HAOS installed on it, and a pi 0 2 with wireguard on it. I have such plans to make my home lab even better when I get paid out for my damaged things and I will not be relying on US tech for it.

I moved my blog and email provider to a Canadian company in 2020, I have plans on moving it to my home lab where I can have better tools. I currently have 200+ email addresses that forward to six or seven email addresses I check if I get spam, than bam that address is typically closed.
