A surprising (and impressive) number of their Kirkland branded stuff is made in Canada, with a few even being product of Canada.

Yeah, it's still an American head office, but they treat their employees well, and they're pushing back against stuff like Trump's anti DEI policies, so I'm willing to cut them a bit of slack.

I'm still buying made in Canada there, though. Or made not in the USA (got beans from Mexico, prosciutto from Italy and olives from Greece as part of my last shop there)

Including a large portion of the people In the US.

I hope they can figure out how to fix their country's shit.

Seriously, what's wrong with the other 45%?

Remember the apathetic non-voters who don't pay attention to news, politics, current affairs or anything beyond their immediate surroundings....

Trump is the derp state

'We've lost a partner and a friend"

Canada has similar feelings.

But we still support our Ukranian friends, despite the crisis our downstairs neighbor is experiencing.

Winston Smith explained in great detail why this kind of thing happens.

They are definitely using STUPID TACTICS in order to get MORE CLICKS.

That's just the way youtube works. If you want to make a financially viable youtube channel, you don't really have an other option than to play the game.

As a european working in the weapon industry, I love reading american people thinking we make no weapons or the weapons we make are worse.

American exceptionalism has been a major feature of the Americans self image for many generations.

It's really tiring living beside them and having to hear them constantly blathering about it.

Desktop unless I'm away from home or on the shitter.

That was 25 years ago.

Most of those people won't have touched it in a decade or more, if they aren't already retired.

The Americans that already like trump only listen to/watch media that will NEVER tell them what he's doing is illegal.

And, apparently, they're too stupid to figure it out on their own.

"Trump dies in fatal Boeing crash, after rushing its production" is a headline id love to see

After rushing it's production and firing all the FAA safety inspectors.

There's more guns than people in this country.

We know, you Americans can't stop talking about it.

But Americans also claim that all those guns are supposed to keep the government from getting corrupt and taking away their rights.

I don't see the most corrupted government in your country's history being scared to act because of all those armed citizens.

tell us what to do

It's your bloody country.

I would hope you should understand it better than we do.

Or if things stay sane enough somehow, the midterm elections changing everything.

Assuming those mid-term elections are permitted to happen...

The government of the USA is horrifying

The lack of pushback is equally concerning.

If a foreign actor had directly attacked the Americans, they would be up in arms ready to "glass parking lot" whatever country had attacked them, but this attack from the inside (though partially pupprteered from abroad) is going almost entirely unchallenged (and barely noticed inside the country thanks to a mostly captured and complicit media).

Americans have to submit tax forms to the IRS every year, even if they are no longer living there or earning income there.

We have our own fair share of dumbasses.

Speaking of which, Pat King was having a sentencing hearing today.

Polierve has policies?

Maybe he should have been talking about those for the last year instead of just repeating "Trudeau bad" and "axe the tax" constantly.

It's just going to fuck up our standing in the world of geopolitics

It already has.

Im still of the belief that our safety nets are gonna catch this one.

I hope you're correct, but we can't rely on that.

Individuals have to also take action, and keep pressure on the people who are supposed to be preventing these abuses.
