Don’t forget slapping enormous tariffs on the Canadian lumber we primarily use to build houses.

If MAGA really wanted more high-wage jobs where people work with their hands, they would be trying to boost construction work. But instead they’re crashing housing production and trying to protect high resource areas from upzoning.

Whenever homebuilding picks back up, we will have less lumber available to us.
He figures it will also stop forest fires.
He cares nothing about the environment only about exploitation of it.
This man is so profoundly stupid.
He wants to just exploit and take whatever resource available with no plan and no foresight.
He wants to revive the Gilded Age and the Robber Barons
It’s almost like they didn’t think this through or something.
Others say, "It's a deliberate plan to destroy everything." I just don't think he's smart enough or disciplined enough to do that.
They want the MAGA crowd to be poor so the Billionaires can control them easily as the poors top priority is to find food not discuss finances
Even that type of tariff could blow up the economy

We were really humming there for a while too. 😔
Construction costs are already incredibly high. We should not be trying to recreate the 1960's model as no one can afford 1.5 million dollar homes.
We need to continue on the path of education, science, green energy and tech innovations.
Just my Opinion ...
I saw a town DIE because our lumber mill got shut down because America was too afraid of our better cheaper and more available lumber.
Cause I guess national pride is more important than quality of materials, or trade value.

We could loosen regulations and mine our own precious metals.
We could loosen regulations and drill our own oil.
Nothing is unsurmountable, even without being forced to prop up the economies of our life-sucking neighbors.
Just like a leftist Canuck! I have many Canadian friends I've known my whole life...and they, friend, agree with ME.
Canada owes us 63 billion and have been holding the US hostage for heavy tariffs for decades.
Turnabout is only fair.
Now they can pay us back!
Prepare for the gutting of America’s public lands.
The evil racist Southern traitors fought for free trade and open borders.
Are you siding with the KKK?
We will all suffer.
Blame the war on Ukraine on Trump. When he withheld the defense funding in 2018.
‼️Blame Trump for the war‼️⚠️

There's proof in the pudding that's your work, but the reality is that 99% of the news Americans is grey goo, purile, attention chasing dreck.
-when did it end? never.
-did trump tell us he would be a dictator? he absolutely did.
-did he say he was going to destroy the dollar, trade & world stability all to fund his dank chuddy billy buddies? UHM JESUS YES
World looking at a raging white man & hopin they can simp
What just talking about Palin taking the stage. The charming, hollow belle, northern clad. Not even a log. Not better than good. In fact. Definitively. Fucking. Bad.
She was Trump's first act
In the words of a wise mentor
"And thats a fact Jack, Stripes, 1981"
(yes he literally did say that at the end every time, it's just funnier I don't make the rules, just catbiyashi maRU them)
- they don’t care about anything
- they will suffer no consequences
- yes of course it would be different if it was a liberal.
Everyone left of insanity needs to stop focusing on and reiterating these useless points. Fight. Back.
Last I checked, anyway. That's all subject to change by the flush if a pressurized toilet anyway.
Trump’s tariffs are going to hit workers hard for the next decade.

Trump is now manufacturing a lumber crisis so they can tear down our public lands.
There may even be some homes available for Americans that want to claim asylum.
When are we going to discuss the real issue of white men becoming an American minority and why that's freaking a lot of them out and driving this current hatred carnival?
The lumber yards are full as it is. And nobody is going to build a mill on the word of this president.
At #handsoff in front of the WA Capitol in Olympia, waving the flags of Canada, Ukraine, Greenland, Panama, and Palestine, in solidarity with nations under present or future occupation. In Flag language, this translates as
“FLAG YOU, DONALD TRUMP!
Hands Off Others' Nations!”
How many people know what a cable yarder is, let alone are able to operate one in the middle of the forest?
We're about to have a construction freeze just like 2008 💀🪦
