And that bag of potato chips you keep mindlessly reaching into while watching tv? Look closely at that bag. Yeah, that's aluminum in that shiny lining to protect the chips from moisture, oxygen, heat, and sunlight. That bag of chips will surely have to cost more now.
Where do you get 15%? I was watching 🇨🇦 news and it's 25% globally and then another 25% for Canada when the 30 day pause is over. No one in 🇺🇲 has clarified what the final numbers will be, but that looks like 50% on steel and aluminum until otherwise clarified.
Wait until Trump's "PR spin" an increase in your taxes so they can extend and deepen the 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy. Musk is looking for 2 Trillion from everywhere but the Pentagon, which pays him billions.
We are in the second month. 44 months left of missery and torture and suffering under the orange mans tyranny. Hopefully he dies before that like the simpsons predicted.
FYI MAGA: 1/2 ALL aluminum imported, >>Canada-others=UAE. MEXICO & China. AI PRICES ⤴️so will prices for Canned foods/APPLIANCES/NEW HOMES/ /Utilities (AL wiring $$$ ⤴️= install, replace/repair power lines. Be sure to thank Trump-Musk-Vance & the GOP for their 'gift' to you.
In the long term VAT tax or tariffs can help encourage manufacturing in USA Problem is that it's a-little-too-late There are very few products being manufactured here If the money from tariffs subsidized building factories it may make sense. But it a long game. Short term prices will increase.
It's important to note that most of Canada's exports are raw materials like wood, aluminum, crude oil.
That means at every step in turning raw materials into finished products, someone makes a profit. That multiplies the cost to the consumer of the tariffs on those materials.
“Let’s tell it, as best we can recall. This is like watching ‘Tin Men’ (1987) A story of selling overpriced, aluminum siding for homes in the 60’s. A ‘salesmen’s scam’ on a massive scale to unsuspecting customers! Now, folks will be tearing off ‘tariffed aluminum siding en-masse” @maddow.msnbc.com
I am amazed at how ignorant his supporters are. I mean they are incredibly stupid. The prisoners are running the prison. We need to figure out how to turn this around AND FAST!
The only thing that fat orange fuck has accomplished is bringing Canadians closer together - hell, even my beloved Quebecois are looking to strengthen their trade relationships inward instead of relying on American dollars - he's simply forcing us to look elsewhere for newer trading partners ...
"MAGA gladly shits itself" is a helluva t-shirt or bumper sticker. Imagine if millions of people put/wore that slogan everywhere and MAGA had to see it all the time? The little kid in me loves this idea.
Fortunately, due to gout, my beer consumption is minimal. I can have one at a sitting and need days between. Pastis, Calvados, or gin are my stock poisons.
Yeah I brewed professionally for 12 years. Not only the cans, but a large majority of the malt/barley that goes into beer comes from Canada. That also goes for booze too. So if he ever gets a bug up his ass about NAFTA again you can expect alcohol prices to shoot through the roof
Budweiser beer will also go up if Trump places a 25% Trump Tax/Tariff on the sand to make beer bottles. Budweiser gets their sand from a Canadian mine 200 kms East Northeast of Toronto.
gotta be honest. I remember these brothers from Twitter days, before they were banned and after they came back. I always assumed they'd shift the grift to the right like so many others have, but they didn't. I was wrong about them
This morning Coca-Cola says it may use more plastic bottles if Trump tariffs on aluminum take effect!
WTF Trump..during campaigning groceries will immediately go down! Joke is on us! And to avoid the question he does all this other shock and awe 🙃 Someon make it stop https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coca-cola-aluminum-tariffs-plastic-bottles/
Hey #MAGA cult! Your orange dear leader is making things happen! Like RISING INFLATION!
In January, the cost of food and energy IS ⬆️ *UP* ⬆️ for the first time since June 2024, going up 3%.
Biden didn't do this.
Your dictator did.
Congrats! He screwed you again!
One small silver lining; we are pulling that product off Canadian shelves, so you will have more of it available to overpay for. Trump is a fucking legend!!
Maybe instead of racing to the bottom of the Food Chain, the dvmmschitt red hats might wanna look inside their man purse and re-think their losing position.
The beer drinking republicans got screwed long before price gouging. Someday they will have to grow the fuck up. And defend their country and children.
Indeed, this grotesquely uneducated republican cult needs to ACTUALLY learn what the Constitution, democracy, the Second Amendment and the United States & its functions ARE 'NOT' what their highly edited version says, this 👆isn't like their cherry picked edited bibles supporting nafarious agendas.
I don't know if that will ever come to pass, but sooner or later one or more of them will get an educaction and then that puddle of racist rancor will have a lot of explaining to do and to answer for.
They cover for him because they want Gaza too for rich condos. People are expendable. Not one person in republican side is a follower of Jesus. All are greedy rapist
First, the Red States ban PornHub.
Now their beer is gonna cost more.
At some point, one would think MAGAs would reject Trumpism.
(Well, until Trump blames Bidenomics.)
I saw a video where a poor person said he didn't care, because he was used to being poor. This is MAGA. They are so stupid they would rather see others brought down to their poverty than have the opportunity to escape it. Terrible, stupid people.
Indeed, but what's even more pathetic is that the rest of us whose IQs that DOESN'T begin with a decimal point allowed this to happen via electing those who apparently are easily manipulated and controlled by a CONVICTED FELON and Adjudicatied RAPIST, Putin and Musk!
MAGAt's have already said as much when they said that they were on with it when their dear leader told them their prices would go up because the tariffs are necessary. They are willing to be poorer for dear leader. Can't fix stupid.
They DO realize it but their hate and gulliblity within themselves wins over their own interests of feeding themselves and their families and being united for a common cause, that we're ALL EQUAL!
And these corrupt politicians are hip to this thus can easily manipulate this cult to their advantage!
But think about it from their perspective. In the past they all yearn for, a poor white man might not have much, but at least he wasn’t black, or a woman, or queer, or a foreigner. Today that doesn’t mean as much and the libs caused it all.
As I teacher I ran into lots of parents that, when told at parent conferences that their child was failing, reacted by chuckling about it and saying their kids were just like them rather than ask how to help their child. In addition to generational poverty, there is also generational ignorance.
The increase in tariffs on aluminum is intended as an environmental compensation for the re-approved plastic straws because fewer beer cans are purchased. The DT is really a fox.😏😆
Beverages in cans have higher levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals than those packed in glass, cartons & plastics. EDCs have adverse effects on neurodevelopment. Cognitive deficits such as impaired ability to switch tasks & learn new rules have been observed.
Well somebody has to buy that canned piss you Americans call beer, because #Canada ain't buying shit from you anymore. Have fun without your biggest trade partner you stupid fucking Americans #BoycottUSA #TrueNorthStrongAndFree
Hmm so El Douche and Peter Thiel grew up together in S Africa and started PayPal and now they apparently are holding our funds hostage so they can recreate their childhood Nazi apartheid megalomaniac dream of turning the US in to S Africa
What a narcissistic pathological lying hypocrite. No collusion occurring, but law would say otherwise. Isn't SpaceX, Tesla, and X also liable since he's the owner of these companies and using them to share information he's obtaining through his "so called investigation"? https://youtube.com/shorts/-tFcfvldGF4?si=nqclpbXp5DcFlK7P
Trump tried this in 2018. Aluminum and steel production had a slight bump because there’s only so much American mills can produce. Then the economy flatlined until he lifted the tariffs after Canada initiated retaliatory tariffs. Did he learn nothing?
Australia will be significantly impacted by the tariffs. I believe our inputs represent around 6% of US imported aluminium. The US sells more metal back to us in the form of planes, mostly (i.e., the US has a trade surplus with Australia). Yet we are still being slapped with a 25% tariff.
The smart thing to do would be hit back like Mexico and Canada did. So I think your main export to America is tourism. Why not tax the shit out of every American dollar spent by an American tourist? Make it like a mandatory 50 percent increase on every American not living there to buy anything.
I think it is time all of us in the Commonwealth got together and started tariffing the US. You know, each country does an individual tariff on the US and then because the US isn’t part of the Commonwealth, bam another tariff and so forth. He wants isolationism, let’s isolate him
Like Donnie cares since he is puritan about alcohol yet he eats 4 burgers a day. Shit even a very little consumption of beer can enhance bacterial flora in colon while those burgers made of chicken shit fed cattle ruins it
Just because he doesn't drink alcohol, he drinks Diet Cokes all day long and who knows what else he does. Just like RFK Jr wants to make America Healthy, but uses nicotine packs.
Prices have already gone up on things from China. Now this. Trump is putting the cart before the horse to appease big money corporations. Creating new manufacturing jobs in America should be the top priority before imposing tariffs.
I thankfully don't drink but this is absolutely going to screw over more than alcohol drinkers. If its in a can, any can (can foods, like soups even) its gonna trickle in.
And by all MEANS enjoy that BUD LIGHT:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Unfortunately, they won’t notice. Too ignorant. They’ll keep paying higher cost because it’s the quote “patriotic” thing to do in their shriveled brains. Additionally, they’ll sacrifice buying toothpaste for the 🍺.
Just my two cents….
Exactly why Trump wants to get rid of the Department of Education. Keep the kids of low income families ignorant of the truth. Speaker Johnson State is near the bottom when it comes to education, no wonder he backs Trump just so he can keep his job. It’s time to wake up people and get an education
So all the alcoholic Magats living in single wides (they think Trumps going to make them rich) out here in rural Texas better get a 2nd job to support their habit.
#Krasstestdummies Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are no longer fucking up the country. Amen and Pass the Fry Bread. I don't drink beer couldn't care less.
MAGA will love it because they truly believe that will "own the libs." Well, as one of the libs in question, I don't drink beer. So who's getting "owned" now?
Heard a business article this morning. Coke is going to move more into plastic containers. They are already one of the biggest polluters. They’ve also downgraded their recycling targets.

MAGA every time
That means at every step in turning raw materials into finished products, someone makes a profit. That multiplies the cost to the consumer of the tariffs on those materials.
💙❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️💙 …
We were once allies! Other countries are ready to retaliate as well.
What is your buffoon and his troops doing? He must be stopped!

It’s not paid by China or Canada or Mexico. YOU pay it. Cause it’s a tax on consumers. You.
I AM CANADIAN
Less munny bad, more munny gud.
Now their beer is gonna cost more.

I wondered if it was a knee-jerk response to Musk being on the front of Time Magazine?
But dammit …I use A fvk LOT of Aluminum foil🤦🏼♂️
That's why we leak votes. Some of our loudest voices are ALSO disingenuous idiots, just like MAGA.
And these corrupt politicians are hip to this thus can easily manipulate this cult to their advantage!
I learned early on in life, if I'm doing well, to try to lift others out.
Yet , here we are. 😞
Your choice, how about glass?

Ever heard of Ball-Foster Glass?
Nickleback.

Orange bitchboy drinks Diet Coke.
She said she'd have done nothing different than Biden and look at the train wreck he created.
