Can't tariff the canadian oil. That gets in the way of drill baby drilling.

That’s one of the many things Pumpkin Spice Palpatine doesn’t understand - tariffs are a two-can-play-at-that-game game. The outcome is often a trade war that benefits nobody.

Canada is tossing around the idea of 100% tariffs on Tesla.

First casualty of Trump's tariffs
Quote:Dow closes 300 points lower Friday as White House says tariffs will start Saturday
The S&P 500 slid Friday following news that President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariffs against major U.S. trading partners would begin on Saturday.
Stocks gave up their earlier gains after White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Friday afternoon that the president’s tariffs will be available for public inspection at some point Saturday. Trump will be leveling 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, alongside a 10% duty on China.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I had a laptop for work and one for myself. The work laptop was getting old and dying bit by bit and not compatible with some things any more. As soon as Trump was elected, I bought a new laptop and moved the work one to my emergency backup and for use with older devices and bumped the two newer ones around. I wanted to get ahead of his tariffs. Glad I did. Especially since my boss let me get a new scanner this week.
Should be good for a while with electronics now for a while.

I like that they all have different kinds of stupid shapes and facial expressions.
