    If he excludes oil from the tarrifs, we should increase the price of oil exports ourselves.

    Surely putting tariffs on about 60% of American oil imports will do wonders for their gas prices.

    I hope we throw in somethingn into the retaliatory package like vehicles entering the Canadian boarder need to be zero emissions, those trying to enter with non compliant vehicles will have them seized at the boarder.

    That alone should keep most riff raff out of Canada.

      As funny as this is, in practice we want them coming up here to spend money.

      What we’ll do, like last time, is tariff in a very targeted way, hitting specific products where consumers have easy access to alternatives. Like slapping tariffs on bourbon, for example.

      I’m stocking up on rice and beans and survival foods as the next great depression is about to drop. If it doesn’t? I got a decade of camp food.

        There are lots of cooking methods that can help save money

        You can take a lot of your food wastes and freeze it and then make broth. I save my pan drippings for roux, gravy, and sauces.

        I think this spring I’m going to try planting vegetables, my brother is very into his vegetable garden and has good tips.

        Also things like a bag of steel cut oats are more nutritious and filling than instant oatmeal.
