Do tankies suddenly like Musk? How is your .ml account not banned for supporting the most bourgeois man on earth? They ban people for saying trust Russia sucks and not this drivel?
Read some real journalism for a change Musk didn't do shit. He didn't start PayPal, he didn't start Tesla, spaceX has a whole layer of management DEDICATED to keeping him out of screwing anything up, and I don't think I need to add anything about X.
I never thought anyone could be so blatantly wrong on every topic, but .ml account keep teaching me lessons on the topic.
That's fair. It's pretty ironic that HBC initially sucked all the value from native communities, then after it was sold to American shareholders they used it to suck any remaining value from Canadian consumers and now it's completely worthless.
Those gift card purchases are going to be a real death knell.
The Republicans control both houses. If they can't get a CR passed by themselves, they need to make significant compromises to pass a bipartisan bill, which they haven't done. That's basic politics and it's been the case for hundreds of years.
Acting like this is the Democrats fault is nonsense. If the government can't pay the bills the people of the country need to finally see the incompetence and disdain for the American people that this administration has.
As for the public sector workers, if you think this will save them you're completely mistaken. This buys them weeks or a couple of months at most. Maybe a government shut down will remind the people what public servants do for them so they can start opposing this butchery of the government.
That's a problem we have globally. Although it might seem like Trump style populism vs Canadian neo-liberalism(with all it's pros and cons), we're both purple. You guys just have a bit more right wing red in the dye mix. It's plausible that Canada elects our own Trump then we can both be stupid.
The only ideology that has a chance at stopping the populist wave is Sanders style social democracy because it addresses the same core issue of wealth disparity. But it doesn't look like anyone is electing that anytime soon.
Dude that makes no sense at all. He wants to depreciate the dollar by putting on tariffs, an action you yourself admit depreciates all OTHER currencies, thereby increasing the value of the dollar?
Then after that he'll "negotiate" to have the other countries to appreciate their currencies? By buying US goods and companies?? Both of those things appreciate the US dollar. China has been selling their goods to the US (something which should appreciate their currency) without appreciating their currency by buying property and companies in the US so they never have to use the US dollar to buy their own currency. This increases the value of the dollar while decreasing demands for the Chinese currency. This has been widely seen as unfair currency manipulation by China.
Things that increase demand for US dollars such as buying US goods and investing in the US APPRECIATE the value of of the US dollar. I haven't read the article yet, but I hope your summary is incorrect, because Varoufakis is generally a very intelligent left wing thinker and I would be surprised to see this kind of gaffe in basic economics.
Edit: here is a link to the article since the one above didn't work for me.
While tariffs would work against Trump's plan (by deppreciating foreign currencies) they give Trump revenue he can spend with congressional approval. Then for the countries that make a deal he'll either force them to appreciate their currencies by swapping US dollars for their own currency (to depreciate the dollar), OR make them buy very long term US bonds (stabilizing the US debt markets) and buying US weapons (diluting the cost of US military R&D). Trump hopes this lets him depreciate the dollar while keeping it as a reserve currency (having his cake and eating it too).
Turns out violence is the answer a lot of the times. Why not do a 4 year training camp at the world's largest and best funded violence delivery machine ever created and learn a few tips.
We could just pass a law that says any car with more than 10 fatalities per 100k units is unsafe and has to be recalled and refunded. No car has come even close. It's 17 times worse than a Ford Pinto.
This is YOUR post about how Zelenskyy wants peace and Trump and Russia are being a massive piece of shit. I'm AGREEING with you. Why are you being so hostile??
The only way to curb wealth going to the top is taxes on their wealth/income... Tariffs help with labour outsourcing, but not with wealth inequality...
I suppose a guillotine would help with wealth inequality as well though....
Trump was "hurting the wrong people" when he increased taxes on the poor and started attacking social security Medicaid/Medicare. He was only supposed to attack LGBT+, minorities, immigrants, the poor, and non-traditional families.
That's not enough. They still support the same anti trans, anti immigrant, anti poor, pro-biggotry policies. They just think Trump is doing them wrong.
Trump's tariffs are universal. Meaning that even in cases where the only practical option is Canada, for example potash, they have to suffer a direct 25% price increase.
The Canadian tariffs are highly selective, we only tariff goods that have alternate non US suppliers at similar prices. In this case the tariffs would mostly reduce market competition without directly affecting price.
I think the better approach is to not enforced the digital lock aspects of the free trade agreement and have Canada be a leading repairer of farm and industrial equipment.
LMFAO oh you're of course right.... US/NATO really shouldn't have invaded Russia... That was definitely a violation of Russian sovereignty and definitely explains why Russia needed to attack.... Lemme get my notes.... Ukraine??
LMFAO those crazy Ukrainians and their ridiculous "sovereignty".... So crazy..... Everyone knows if a fascist state comes to invade your land you just give it to them, that's how you get REAL peace.
Just like WWII... That only started because European countries were too crazy to let Hitler take what he wanted and exterminate who he wanted..... It's the rest of the world's fault really.... Fighting back is the real aggression!
