#TrumpTradeWar

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Heard a conversation at the gym this morning:

Karen (her name actually was Karen): My sister said, "What do we even get from Canada anyway?!" And I realized, oh my God! Dog treats! I better order my dog treats!

Work out buddy: I don't even know what else we get from them. (Laughing)

Me: we get electricity and oil from them. Hydroelectric and that pipeline.

K: Energy? What do you think about the tariffs?

Me: They're stupid. This is a trade war with an ally and we are going to pay a lot more for stuff.

WOB: What energy do we get?

Me: Direct transmission of hydroelectric and oil. You know that pipeline?

WOB: yeah, true, that pipeline comes from Canada.

Me: But I heard he is going to back down today.

WOB: Trump don't back down on nothing. He won't cave.

Me: He caves on everything. He creates crises and then acts like he solved a problem.

After that they started to whisper to each other.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat Guy doesn't want to admit he voted for Turnip because he let his racism and anti-LGBTQ bigotry make the decision rather than his business.

How could he not remember the farm commodity price crisis from 2019 from Trump's first trade war?
