    Everybody here in the US keeps telling me that I’m wrong when I say this stuff will destroy our economy.

    I sincerely hope the rest of the world proves them wrong.

      I mean look at the stock market, customer sentiment, etc. Everything is pointing down and we haven’t started to see the unemployment that’s going to be brought on from all the government layoffs and attempts to rescind grants/contracts.

      I think the next jobs report is going to be painful and we won’t see anything positive economically for a while after that.

      The thing about seeing things coming and having that insight be rejected by people is that they will really get angry if you say I told you so. In fact they will try to make you not convincing them being the real problem.

      Edit: Whoops fixed it.

    “Due to large drops in revenue we’re forced to layoff workers.” Laid off MAGA voters, “But that wasn’t what was supposed to happen!”

    Yup, been avoiding american products as much as I can at the grocery store. Fruits and veggies that can’t be grown in Canada I will get from Mexico or anywhere else in the world except the US.

    And not just about the attacks and threats. With the current US administration gutting regulations, there will be more risks of getting sick from eating contaminated food products.

    Keep up the good work. Every dollar sent here is a dollar that will work against you.

    Meanwhile: Canadian manufactutors pulling their hair out while reviewing their books “what are we going to do with all these profits?”

    As an American, I hope the pain that these companies experience translates to strong and direct pressure on our politicians to grow a fucking spine against the dictator.

          Pfft, just watch, it will be an excuse to fire people in droves/cut wages while executives either get raises for “bold” responses or golden parachutes. Day traders will adore the volatility at the expense of retirement funds. Under duress, companies will merge like crazy since the only barrier now seems to be complying with government ethos. Reduced capital gains will juice the market. The masses will shoulder tariffs.
