EU, UK, Canada, Mexico, and Japan should form a trade agreement that excludes the USA, impose 10% tariff on all US products and services, limit US banks to trade in stocks and money. Do not negotiate with Trump, that's exactly what he wants. robertreich.substack.com/p/what-canad...

Bluesky is not as bad as Facebook. Yet. On Facebook I have blocked over 1,000 accounts who were sending me spam, asking me to date them, whatever. Blocking them was not enough. I had to make my profile 'for friends only'. It is starting here too on Bluesky. I already blocked 9 guys. Men.
