Just have it run up the coast, include Canada, then back down…

The cons: It will only happen over my dead body.

Pro: you don’t know me, maybe that’s a good thing

What… that’s not how trademarks work in North America

Just look up the trademark list for the word “Apple” and you can see there are many trademarks for the same word.

The test is if they can be confused with each other.

Fucking stupid. Nobody gonna confuse the Utah Yetis hockey team with a fucking beer cooler.

When I eat a few dill pickles, my scalp tingles. It’s mostly a pleasant sensation.

A) The wind DOES blow it around, here’s a really cool map that shows the realtime winds and smog patches.

B) Most of the smog in an area has been recently produced by the pollution source (factory, power planet, forest fire, cars, etc) it’s not building up over a very long time, usually a few days at most if the winds are really light.

“The US Government is worse than the Chinese government” -Tiktok Refugees

The US government has serious issues, but not 22 square foot rental issues. Being homeless in California is literally a better quality of life than tens of millions of Chinese citizens experience.

This is not good.

When the math starts not mathing properly, there are usually real problems.

The USSR was integrated too, and still broke up.

This situation would be more similar to that than Brexit.

I still think the US states splitting up like the USSR did is entirely on the table.

California is not going to continue being the republican punching bag and funding red states forever.

A split like this would likely allow some people to move, and ease the tensions measurably.

The states would still trade/function with each other, I don’t expect them to go to war or anything.

Duh…

Slashdot (I’m old)

Fucking good.

Punch a Nazi and burn that platform to the ground.

Eaten kraft dinner, with fancy ketchup

False assumptions.

The people of China are not the reason China is bad, and they do not control their government in any way.

Peace is not an option for the government of China.

No, because that’s not how tariffs work.

Tariffs are an incoming tax. If the US applies tarrifs to Canada, then imports from Canada to the US will be charged this amount. That makes them more expensive for American consumers.

Unless Canada applies a retaliatory tariff, you won’t notice a difference. Canada is planning to retaliate only against specific goods, not a blanket one like trump is talking about. So you would only see the price increase on those particular products.

Tough on drugs… For people who aren’t white

Ye and no.

Good ideas, but also the retaliation tariffs are not planned to be on everything, the last time we saw this it was things like targeting Tennessee whisky and other specific luxury goods. While they would harm consumer choice, there are tons of alternatives in many of those categories from both Canada and elsewhere.

Ballot stuffing is pretty easy to detect statistically, and there hasn’t been any evidence of it happening and definitely not at the scale required to affect the election results.
