Fascists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

So, it should be easy to break them, right.

All Americans would have to do is organize themselves and end this increasing dystopia.

you guys are gonna also have a hard time with this spreading virus,

The American example is proving to be a bit of a wakeup call for the more passively progressive people in my country.

Hello my brother.

Yup, it’s almost like that…

Or cause a resurgence of fragging?

That’s the really convenient thing about the Bible. It can easily be quoted to support any arguement.

Including opposite sides of the same argument.

It’s a direct violation of the Americans’ precious separation of church and state.

Enough of this “the world will burn if we help the masses” bullshit.

That is almost always coming from the people threatening to burn the world if they don’t get their way.

And, of course, them getting their way will also burn the world, but just a bit slower.

That’s obviously not what the Canadian negotiators will want.

A major point of manufacturing here is to have jobs for the local population. (And, yes, another major point is to have supply to that manufacturing also come from our economy).

That sounds like a very good reason to change therapy groups.

IIRC, he has used both terms (among other threats).

That’s the plan with all the deal making with other countries.

Makes trying to get a deal with the Americans much less important. And makes the Canadian poison much stronger in those potential negotiations.

For made an EV pickup. No one bought them.

Have you seen the prices the were asking?

Make them less of a "luxury " vehicle (both in terms of “options” and price) and more people will want to buy.

And another with France.

The American president has invited Canada to become his country’s “51st state,”

Not invited.

He threatened to annex Canada.

It’s bad for the country to lose all manufacturing capability.

Blame 50+ years of companies outsourcing everything and closing on-shore production with the single goal of increasing short-term shareholder value at the exclusion of every other consideration (even ignoring harm to the long term survival of the business itself).

It’s not exactly “the country” that did this, it’s wall street specifically and the people who kowtow to its demands.

And the system fixed so all this can’t happen again.

How did Sears

That one baffles me. They were doing catalog based mail order since the start of their business.

They should have been in the perfect position to compete with what Amazon has become. They already had all the infrastructure in place. All they needed was a decent website version of their existing catalog with a simple ordering method, and they utterly failed at that.

Nintendo was a card manufacturing company but is now a videogame titan. Fujifilm went from photo and film to biotechnology. Sony just recently eked out to finance and investing

Hitachi makes consumer electronics and heavy industrial construction machinery.

But somehow Ford can only make F150s and Mustangs any more…

Well, yeah, cash is king - at least for in person.

Though there are some places local to me that have gone 100% cashless. Which is annoying.
