Your terms are acceptable

Damn dude. I almost spit reading that. A+.

Boomers are brats who were handed everything, they never taught their children what it's like to suffer or fail.
Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z are having a wake up call.

You don't get Candy, Soda & Video Games.
You have to manage your money wisely and carefully.

I say make them suffer, they deserve it after decades of partying since that 80s.

Ah two weeks ago trump was the saviour of the small man by making groceries cheaper, now it's a positive that the american people suffer economic hardship because of Trumps trade war, stay tuned for the next goalpost move comming shortly.

Why would US grocery prices increase from Canadian tariffs? Outside of Maple syrup, what groceries are Americans buying from Canada?

We don't import our food from you, heathen. We import them from Mexico. The average American's only real interest in tariffs on Canada is the fact that the price on Toyotas and Lincolns will go up. Which means we won't buy them. Which means the companies will bring a bunch more plants back to the US, because we're they're richest market.

Canada is a joke.

You seem to have mistaken me for someone else.

1. I am not canadian
2. There is a 25% tariff on mexican goods aswell, did you miss that?



Maybe? There were multiple people here that argued Trump will save the little man and I can expecto those to be rightfully pissed by now, right? Apparently you always wanted the american people to suffer, so good for you I suppose.

That's not a problem where I'm sitting. Prices haven't gone up. They're unlikely TO go up. They increase our prices 25% at the store, local farmers can beat their prices. Further, we typically only get raw foods from Mexico. We then turn around, process them, and sell them right back to Mexico, as well as in the US, Canada, and the rest of the world. We don't have to eat Mexican food. There's very little they grow that we don't grow as well.

I get that up in that frozen wasteland with a 2 month growing season you have this weird thought that America can't feed itself, but it's simply not true, fren. It's only about whether it becomes more cost effective to buy from our neighbors rather than some foreigners who have their work overseen by men with machineguns.

1. I am still not canadian, can you actually read or are you a terribly calibrated bot?
2. Well let's take your prediction of prices not increasing and report back in a week or two, shall we

I can report right now that prices are down for gas and most groceries. Eggs are the exception due to that last bird flu. Everything else is down.

Which is hilarious. I live in Arizona. Tariffs aren't a threat at all. They're a blessing. Combine them with a bit of border security and my state can provide for a good portion of the food we'd rather not have our processors going to Mexico for. I stand to do nothing but gain.

Does it bother you that NOT having the tariffs mostly benefits the massive corporations who're bypassing American farmers, miners, loggers, etc. etc. to buy in bulk from other nations, process here, and sell to our Citizens at a massive markup, all while cutting out the entire bottom level of the American supply chain? Quite literally, rather than paying for American workers, farmers, and landowners to produce good raw products that can then be used to make many, MANY other products, you want no tariffs, so that cartels and communist nations using slave labor at gunpoint will destroy half our production supply chain.

Here I am, thinking, "I'm an American, and one of the things about BEING American is that our nation is self-sufficient. We don't NEED anything from anywhere else. Yet nearly every nation has tariffs on US imports. The US, meanwhile, has been NOT tariffing the rest of the world. It's time for that to stop. Well past time.

But you keep on keeping on supporting globalist billionaires. It's how we lost microchip manufacturing. May as well be how we lose basic farming while we're at it, right?

Edit: Oh, and I'd LOVE to see a 100% tariff on Taiwan, and 200% tariff on all electronics from China. Any guesses on just how fast tech manufacturing would boom in the US again?
