Love em. What about em?

No, you're supposed to rebuild the internet.

I’m going to state a biased and potentially racist view I’ve held for a long time.

There are more talented devs from Brazil and Canada than any other countries.

And I’ve always wondered why…?

On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff meaning, whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them - No more, no less!

For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff. Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted. In addition, we will make provision for subsidies provided by Countries in order to take Economic advantage of the United States. Likewise, provisions will be made for Nonmonetary Tariffs and Trade Barriers that some Countries charge in order to keep our product out of their domain or, if they do not even let U.S. businesses operate. We are able to accurately determine the cost of these Nonmonetary Trade Barriers. It is fair to all, no other Country can complain and, in some cases, if a Country feels that the United States would be getting too high a Tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their Tariff against us. There are no Tariffs if you manufacture or build your product in the United States.

For many years, the U.S. has been treated unfairly by other Countries, both friend and foe. This System will immediately bring Fairness and Prosperity back into the previously complex and unfair System of Trade. America has helped many Countries throughout the years, at great financial cost. It is now time that these Countries remember this, and treat us fairly – A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR AMERICAN WORKERS. I have instructed my Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the Treasury, and United States Trade Representative (USTR) to do all work necessary to deliver RECIPROCITY to our System of Trade!

I still have those sunglasses 😎

My mate is Ukranian, we were supposed to go back to his home town Chornomorsk before it all kicked off.

This is me there in 2007

Agreed. Throwback to the golden era of Pidgin. Dino is also awesome as a client.

to be honest…

Most Americans have world views crafted by hollywood, and think civil war means fighting in the streets, and everything shut down.

A kinetic civil war occuring while stocks are still trading, people keep going to work, and the majority of the country never seeing actual fighting, is outside of many peoples videogame influenced thinking. But it is the more likely scenario. It would also not be surprising to see the military refuse to be involved,

at least for a time. And from what im seeing, i would not be in the least bit suprised to wake up tomorrow and learn this has started.

like being fucked by bears in the ass?
