Every week I pass by a starbucks at a major transit hubin Canada.

Used to be a big blocker with the crowd of40-50 people at all times waiting to either order or pickup.

Since feb it is below 8 people. The local coffee shop across the street, and even the Canadian fast food place that serves good breakfast though, they got a lot of new business.

Given Nintendo's NA HQ is in Seattle, its likely that their supply line runs through Seattle.

Thay said, in my opinion they are just being lazy as they also have a Vancouver facility as well. Port of Vancouver is also bigger, closer to Japan and notably more efficient than Seattle/Tacoma.

All of the old Unreal Tournanent servers with crazy mods

Its why Carney is so popular in Canada.

He hasnt attacked Poilievre. When asked he comes out with well reasoned and thought out plans.

E.G. instead of just "cutting red tape" to aid housing construction, which results in shit quality and developers timing completion to optimize prices; his plan is to directly get the government to build homes like it did in the 1950s and 1960s. This would also help get people into and trained in the trades, another of his promises.

Also, government employing directly will always be more efficient than contracting out. Because the contracting firms charge 5-10x per employee what the employee makes. For a western salary.

China is going one step further. Aside from their own tariffs, they have blocked all rare earth mineral exports to the US.

Given that US companies sold them the monopoly they enjoy in the mid to late 2000s, that is amusing.

Also, Trumps entire stated goal is onshoring production, putting export caps and taxes on oil, potash, minerals and electricity directly hurts that goal.

Because if they didn't do that, the people would rise up.

Just like how Canadian Potash was mostly exempted, and that the Moron got really mad when Ontario put an export tariff on electricity.

Because it would affect Yank pocketbooks directly.

$90 before the Moron's tariffs.

E.g. Digital Extremes put out an April Fools that the (deservedly beloved) Creative Director of Warframe had been replaced by an EA suit, people were legitimately upset.

Carney has said the same.

PP, of course, is willing to talk about it.

Because this way he gets the AI with data that OpenAI couldn't get, and now likely won't get until foreign spies steal it from DOGE and sell it to them.

He paid it to himself. The value is completely made up.

Look at the fine print. The US car companies might be the worst hit since the tariffs also apply on various sub-assemblies that mean an additive tariff of 50-100+ on them.

Congrats on paying 250% more per US made car, given that the average "US made car" crosses borders 10-15x

Nah, but I would expect its price to be in the low 5 figures, maybe 6 figures.

And split the US into two as it fought itself.

It's poor sales *from last year Q1 compared to 2023 Q1.

We're not even looking at 2024 Q2-4 or 2025 Q1 yet. Telsa might be completely underwater at this point.

Maine should split off and join Canada.

That report is made by these guys.

You, know, the guys behind Reaganomics and push for the privatization of everything

I dont blame you for forgetting.

I dont forget it because a month and a half prior my friends and I were all planning a big trip to NYC and would have been in the middle of that covid outbreak.

Yup.
