This need to be said louder!

You can also forget about exporting those.

Boeing can’t compete in the civilian business and is too big to fail : solution is to give them subsidies in the form of military contact.

That only happen after violences and war in which team Trump loose badly. Don’t be complacent with the illusion of rules of law if you don’t fight for your liberty you won’t keep it.

I guess that me being active here on Lemmy means i can’t go to the US for the foreseeable future. Oh well…

I won’t be the one to indulge in vandalism but i do want the company to fold… higher price of ownership is part of the decision process for prospective buyers… let’s just say i won’t judge those that do choose the dark side!

That’s perfect : we keep our dairy and they keep theirs.

What if i think «guillotine » is the most beautiful word of 2025? I know some would argue Luigi should be first here, but i stand by my conviction.

This Alberta visit… it gives me the same feeling i got before Zelensky’s recent visit to the white house. Too good of a showmanship moment not to stir drama. Anybody else sharing my concerns?

If you want a reference there is a Rational Reminder Podcast (nerdy and factual personal finance podcast from a Canadian team) about this concept. It was the illustrated with trains or phone infrastructure 100 years ago : new technology looks nice -> people invest stupid amounts in a variety of projects-> some crash bring back stock valuations to reasonable level and at that point the technology is adopted and its infrastructure got subsidized by those who lost money on the stock market hot thing. Then a new hot thing emerge. The Internet got its cycle in 2000, maybe AI is the next one. Usually every few decade the top 10 in the s/p 500 changes.

Let me dream a bit :

The US, out of fear of not having manufacturing capacity within their border in the event of a potential war, alienate most other advanced economies with tariffs… Taiwan get tariffed on its chip and the result is Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan… all buying Taiwanese technology to build their own answer against big US technology corp.

Didn’t Trump just told everyone where to retaliate against his tariff for maximum pain in the US and on his priorities?

Those digital service taxes need to grow way higher!

10 % isn’t based on anything but let’s imagine: 2-4 % military 1 % communication infrastructure, media and unbiased information 2-4 % healthcare 2-4 % food. You quickly get to 10%. Too big and you loose the benefit of free trade.

Free trade is the best system for 90 % of an economy. I will take a dump on Trump any day, maybe twice , but having a small capacity to build your own silicon chip is mandatory in case of a military conflict. Covid wasn’t a planned military conflict and first world economies couldn’t produce mask, gown… and luckily the virus wasn’t so deadly and only a small % of the population died.

I am Canadian… by any free trade perspective it looks like we should buy our milk from countries with less harsh winter… but then we would be on our knee if an idiot decide to bully us with a duty tax.

There should be free trade for 90 % of a country gdp and elected officials can change their list of excluded 10 % every few years.

Do you have a link for those reviews of Tuta email?

I know nothing, but isn’t some pieces of Google software to be found on many sites that aren’t Google or YouTube?

Please come, it’s fun not to fight insurances companies and just prescribe what you consider is the best treatment without thinking too much about the capacity of the patient to fill the prescription.

I will boycott American product with a passion, but what’s a little brain drain between “friends”? Any other field with smart and motivated women we might be interested in?

Brawndo!

Where is the preferred way to express gratitude through kind word and financial support.

For example, lemmy developers can be help through Patreon, but what % of the donations stays with Patreon?

And then, “for national security,” Canada drop food imports and non essential medication from the US regardless of its Nafta 2.0 signature. Anyway the US made it clear that this trade deal isn’t binding. Other developed economies in Europe and Pacific will do the same as soon as they aren’t the first one to do so… So much winning and greatness in America.
