Please go find and assertively knock on some wood. Another plague on top of this mess is about the last thing we need.

Clearly the eco-terrorists are secretly to blame. Do you remember when Randy Johnson poofed that seagull in transit in 2001? They do.

The markets stopped being completely rational a long time ago. There are a *lot* of under educated direct investors out there.

It's pretty ironic that Ackman is now criticizing the economic policies of DJT (in the "mainstream media", no less), after spending the better part of the last several years leaning into the ideology in an attempt to pump up his fund. I guess even shitheads have their limit.

Wasn't the whole point of the Second Amendment to serve as a structural protection to deter from the development of a tyrannical centralized government? (Serious question, I'm not an American)

Yeah. The cuts to NOAA in particular will have an outsized effect. A lot of atmospheric modeling and climate research originates there, with international researchers building on it. Super fucked up for us. At least Environment Canada was able to rebuild many of its capabilities after Harper.

:( sorry dude. Thinking good thoughts for you.

I vibe with this... but to be honest, y'all need to stop putting the founders on a pedestal. America (and the world) has changed a lot in the last 250 years. Change with it. The structure of your democracy is being handcuffed by the "intentions" of the framers of the US Constitution. No shade.

I *hate* to even be saying this because of the shit that's coming down the pipe and the impact that will have on people... but, the damage to the global economy from this will reduce carbon emissions through slowing trade volumes. Like early 2020 when the world locked down, but longer tail.

Geez, Russia really was playing the long game with that feignt to the right on the fall of the USSR.

Or maybe Mar-a-Lago. More intrigue. More zzzow. And the licensing fees would bring in some much needed revenue for DJT inc. gotta think of the children, after all.

Impeachment is only half of it. The Senate then has to convict đŸ¥´. Sigh.

... and then from the government to the very rich when the proceeds of those tariffs is used to fund tax cuts for the top income tax brackets.

Me too. It's gut-wrenching and a wake up call. What's the point of doing deals with America now, if "America First" means "fuck everyone else"? I don't think that even the Americans who voted for Trump voted for what will happen in the next few months. And that ain't right.

Fucks' sakes. Worst time for them to be cutting funding to FEMA, hurricane season isn't that far out...

Well, not the same. That's a bit tone deaf of me to say... but my point is that this batshit crazy from the White House is creating unity where none existed two weeks ago.

... and for Quebec separatists to openly support the response of the federal government. Federalists and separatists unified like that is the same kind of holy fuck moment in Canada.

We're rooting for you. Exercising your rights of assembly and peaceful protest is fundamental to democracy. Use it or lose it, as they say.

And hopefully, keep doing something. One weekend of protests (no matter how big) won't force change, especially with this administration.

It might feel good (trust me, I get it), but then what? This MAGA thing rooted and festered because people were left behind economically and angry about it. Getting kicked even more won't magically make them flip sides or start to think critically about electoral choice next time around.

Yo, give the Pomodoro technique a try. Buckle down for 25 min (put your phone out reach with a timer) and then chill for 5 min (I putter - put away dishes or dust or something). My focus drifts a lot less with this.

Someone share this with the string pullers, please. They could make way more money from taking the long odds and betting no on this than crashing the global markets... right? Right?! Damnit.

The CHIRPEX and the FECKFECK are also taking a beating. Best to move your money into crypto, people. $THOUGHTSANDPRAYERS is undervalued and poised to go to the moon.

Given the reports I've seen about how the individual country duty rates were calculated (wtf), I have questions about whether the treasury revenue forecasts factored in any demand destruction or just assumed that US consumers would keep on buying, unfazed and unaffected. Tax cuts for the 1%, yay.

Reminds me of an Aldi I shopped at in Frankfurt's outskirts when traveling on business. No parking (didn't need any), it was in the town square of the neighbourhood. Very walkable, very pleasant. If I lived there, I could have done all my weekly shopping within a five minute radius on foot.

Cool, I like that! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts :)

Well, I hope that you're right. The more that nations trade and build relationships based on mutual interest with their neighbours, the better off everyone is. Peace comes from interdependence as much as it does deterrence.

Niiiccce. How did you find the replayability? Was the story significantly different on your NG+? Or you loved the story so much you repeated?

As a Canadian, I rolled my eyes at #CANZUK six months ago. Now I think it's essential to our shared prosperity. Better together.

Nice idea, but aren't these three countries deeply distrustful of each other today for policy and cultural schisms dating back to WW2?

Actually, most of the jobs repatriated will be high wage ones... but not in the way we think. Manufacturing low value goods in America only makes sense with robotics and automation. So, not a thousand general machine operators for a factory... but a handful of specialized engineering technicians.

Yeah true that. How was Alan Wake 2? I've been eyeballing it, waiting for a sale.

Interesting to see what impact the EU's counter-tariff announcement tomorrow will have (especially if they make it before the markets here open).

Truth. The spirit of "free market" and the reality of "absolutist free market" are very different things. The former means minimal fuckery that interferes with competition (which drives down consumer prices). The latter means that the person with the most money and resources can become a monopoly.

I'm kind of surprised that Steam or Epic haven't gone down that rabbithole. It doesn't seem like it would be crazy hard with the DRM they built for purchasing with digital downloads. Plus Steam runs free weekend promos already.
