the problem with The Boyseses satire in the current environment is that it's tough to be more absurd than reality

Eggs in my area went up to $8 this morning

Not sure where you're at, but I saw the same thing yesterday in northern KY. Like 4-5 months ago when there was a political rally about the cost of groceries, they were around $4 a dozen. Higher than they had been for sure, but not the wild extremes that were being discussed.

Canada officially informed Tariffs are coming today, so start stocking up on toilet paper because you get basically all of it from us.

This person joined a political discussion forum only to tell others not to discuss politics. At what point does this cross from irony into outright trolling?

Unless you mean the raw materials that are used in production, this isn't true. P&G and Kimberly Clark makes like 95%+ of TP in the USA and it is all made here. Idk about the raw materials though, as mentioned. Might be Canadian wood.

Went to Japan last year, was one of the first things I did after coming back. Has to be one of the biggest daily life improvements ever for me. Mostly because I have Crohn's but hey lol

The funniest part about this is that he's almost certainly spent more time chain replying his apathy than anyone he originally was roasting for "complaining too much" did initially..

(sorry for the chain posting)

we are so intertwined with our trade that there is almost nothing this won't directly won't affect. an absolute ton of products cross the can/us border several times.

for cars as an example; if the steel is made in canada, which is then shipped to the states to make the parts, then the parts are shipped back to canada to assemble. for that one car to be made it may have been taxed up to 5 times throughout the process, depending on where the raw materials came from and where the car is going

both our countries rely on each other greatly to function at all. it's just how we're set up

no no i'm pretty sure America targeting its 3 largest trading partners (all 3 of whomses largest trading partner is America) including the ones that have been increasingly entwined over 30 years in the North American free trade zone won't impact that much at all really

Seeing the tariffs being labeled as the "Super Bowl Tax" and I'm all for that spin.

At this point, I can’t help but think that this administration’s real goal—just as I suspected last term—is to crash the economy.

As always, the wealthy will get bailed out, while the market collapses just enough for them to swoop in and buy up assets at bargain prices. This will only accelerate their long-running agenda to turn more people into permanent renters—a strategy they've been pushing for the past decade.

I can’t see another logical reason to launch a trade war on multiple fronts at once. If the goal was to apply pressure, targeting one country at a time would have been far more effective. But by antagonizing several nations simultaneously, all they have to do is wait. Give it six months, and even Trump’s most devoted supporters will start to feel the pain.

That said, other nations often cave when they don’t have to, so maybe I’m missing something. My Canadian friends, for example, are all in favor of the trade war. They’re middle class, so they won’t feel the impact as much as the lower class, but they’re willing to pay higher prices if it means hurting Trump and his movement.

If Canada, Mexico, and China hold the line, this administration will suffer a massive defeat. It might even—wishful thinking, I know—start to shake the faith of Trump’s most devoted followers, especially when they realize they can’t even afford their beer. After all, there’s a reason the only people who’ve seriously tried to take him out were right-wing extremists.

He’s been elevated to near-cult leader status, almost godlike in the eyes of his base. And if there’s one thing people can’t handle, it’s realizing their deepest-held beliefs were wrong. I say this as someone who grew up in Oklahoma, deeply entrenched in Christianity. When I lost my faith, I was one of those “angry atheists” who lashed out at anything religious—because I felt betrayed and lied to.

Of course, this is probably just wishful thinking. It’s unlikely to play out this way—but hey, I can dream.
