Charge us whatever you want, nothing will change that I do not want to become the 51st state.
We'll make new friends who went to kindergarten and have learned how to make friends and share. You're quickly becoming background noise already.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The EU should sign a trade agreement with Canada and Mexico and we should strengthen our economic and military cooperation. Screw the orange boys.
There was was some news about big deal on LNG between Canada and EU, because US used to be a big supplier and I don't think that will be the last none. Things are afoot,
And the US by extension is becoming noise too, there seems to be universal domestic capitulation. Not much land of the free and the brave happening.
I claimed that if liberty and justice for all is no longer guaranteed, that 'one nation indivisible' is also on the bubble. Break free, West Coast!
It’s not even charging y’all, we’d pay the price. It’s asinine.
I believe he has just realized that tariffs can, in fact, be higher than 100%.
Expect higher numbers in the future.
Tomorrow: "Trump Threatens tariffs of 4930374830248749200284779308372992883774902948392084%"
Crashes the global economy because too bigly number error
Integer overflow; suddenly everything's free.
Suddenly the US is paying everyone to take their shit.
Its like an infinite money hack!
Uhhhh, Canada restricts American dairy in a variety of ways.
BECAUSE OUR STANDARDS ARE STRICTER.
Live up to them, or fuck off, America.
If you can’t live up to the rules, you can’t play the game.
It's not just the standards. It's also that we use central planning for these sectors which allows for small farms distributer around the country to survive along with the communities around them. If we let the free market deal with it, it'll all get reformed into large factory farms with the surplus value extracted away from the local communities and into large capital owners. Then our rural farming communities get plunged into poverty.
As far as I understand it, that system is also why our eggs still cost normal amounts. (If a farm has to cull their birds because of avian flu, it's not millions of chickens.)
Totally ineffective measure by Trump on Canada. Canada's supply management system is already intended to stop Canadian dairy farmers from overproducing, focused solely to meet our own needs. So farmers and processors are already limited on the US export front. 250%, a bajillion %, is not going to make much difference for this specifically. It just means we close our small export market to them.
250% on eggs.
That'll be popular.
Export tax on eggs to the US please! Let them figure out why there aren't any eggs in the store instead of making prices rise in Canada/Mexico & Europe
I am starting to consider seriously that he might be mentally challenged or showing signs of neuronal decline due to age and other conditions.
It's got to be one of:
- He's just stupid. Maybe his ego requires him to stay in the spotlight, and with Elon getting a lot of media attention, he feels he has to do absurd shit just to get attention. Like a toddler throwing a fit when their parents are talking to other adults.
- He's actively trying to sabotage the country, probably as part of a quid pro quo with Putin for helping him win the election.
- It's cognitive decline. He has no idea what's going on anymore. Maybe he even thinks he's doing something that benefits someone here. Who fucking knows
Whatever the situation, it's increasingly dangerous to have him as president, and the damage he's dealing is going to outlast his presidency.
It’s actually all three. He was never smart, he was recruited by Russia, and what brain he had has fallen to shit.
My friend, in these trying times, why not try the sampler platter? Indulge in all three!
Are we sure he’s not just gaming the stock market at the behest of the other rich parasites around him?
Seems like a bit of everything
Plenty of STDs that add to such decline as well. I love that the christian right’s ideal president is also the most likely to be harboring the largest collection of sexually transmitted diseases of any former president (where he had competition, his competitors were likely much smarter in choice of partners, protection, and obviously discretion).
Roosevelt was fucking two of his cousins.
Why just two?
Two at the same time, married to one, cheating on her with a different cousin.
That said, its still significantly better than lusting after his own daughter. And then getting mad at Canada because his daughter has eyes for Justin Trudeau.
Interesting. I did not know that, thanks.
lol, yes, still better than trump. but, if someone is going to be a cousin fucker, they should at least be a faithful cousin fucker.
How can you tell if it's age related neuronal decline or just him being the dumbest goddam student his professor at Wharton ever had?
I'm guessing substance abuse and very little sleep has rotted his brain. Same goes to Musk.
Both have the same type of behavioral traits as long time stimulant abusers.
I think it is a mix of narcissism and related impulsivity, grifters in his circle influencing him so they and he himself can speculate on a recession and market manipulation from his policies, ideologically indoctrinated people that drank their own cool-aid about libertarianism and finally, indeed, him also declining after he was never all that bright to begin with.
There are few things less desirable to the world than American cheese. Borf.
How about a thin 35$ wedge?
Trump is doing this to acquire more property for his own business.
- Trump said he wants invade and annex Canada and make it cease as a sovereign nation
- Trump said he wants to invade and annex Greenland, stealing it away from Denmark
- Trump said he wants to invade and annex Gaza
All this tarriff horseshit is to create uncertainty and weaken these territories he want to take over for his own businesses. He does not give a fuck about America, only himself.
Is Trump really looking to start a war with the MILK MAFIA? Check yourself before you wreck yourself 🐮
You poor Americans.
US milk isnt wanted up here because yours allows stuff in it that ours does not.
• Canada doesnt allow a synthetic hormone that increases milk production. Its not tied to human effects, but is documented as affecting the health of the cows.
• Canada enforces a lower cell count than US milk, which again, reflects a healthier cow
“The market is having trouble digesting the multidimensional chess that Trump and his team are playing,” said Michael Block, market strategist at Third Seven Capital. “This multidimensional chess game is not going well for the grand master.
LOL, you aren't playing 3D chess when you flip a chessboard.
It's called the weave
As an American, I hope that Canada continues to tell our government to fuck off and then also makes a trade agreement with the EU.
You don't want our dairy anyway, that's for sure.
Real dr evil vibes.
The saddest thing is that I'm not even surprised anymore.
"Felon Rapist Traitor Continues Destroying American Economy"
