It's bad, but it's such a small slice of the pie, and accomplishes nothing except the accumulation of wealth at the top 1% who contribute nothing to the society they're in.
Of course it would be slightly better if we had wholly Canadian-owned auto makers but I'm pointing out that it's not much better. Ford Canada is already a thing. Honda Canada is already a thing.
Canada here. We see nothing about Murcan protests, if they exist. We just hear Canadians/politicians reacting negatively to pretty much everything coming out of the white house.
We ask each other how can Murcans be okay with being treated like this. Don't they understand what's happening?
Musk stated that his immigration path included "a gray area" regarding his work eligibility in Silicon Valley during his early career.
I don't even think he has a green card.
Weird, right? So people make money while working for Ford, for example.
Ford the automaker gets paid and makes "profit" in Murca.
Profit goes to the 1%. The 1% contributes nothing to the economy by dodging taxes and securing a greater share of the overall wallet in Murca.
This causes inflation because there's less money circulating. Huh. It's almost like the profits do nothing, despite what Reagan told you.
A traitor to whom? South Africa? He seems to be doing a fine job for his country. More room on the global stage for them with Murca out of the picture.
Empathy for me, but not for thee!
There isn't much of a safety net to dismantle, but he'll find a way.
Not at all! They contribute nothing to the American economy except inflation.
In the northern realm of Arnor, where the maple banners yet fly free, a shadow loomed from the south. Krasnov the Cunning, a creature twisted by power and desire, whispered of unity—but his was a unity of chains. “Join us,” he hissed, eyes glinting like tarnished gold. “Become the Fifty-First Hold of my dominion.” But the Free Peoples of the North heard the echo of his words, and in them, they found only the voice of the One Ring, calling for subjugation.
Yet, the realm was not without champions. Strider of the North, a ranger long wandering the halls of gold and commerce, strode forth, now bearing the mantle of leadership. He spoke of sovereignty and steel, of a kingdom that would not bow. By his side stood Boromir of the West, a warrior of the old guard, whose sword-arm was strong but whose heart at times wavered, torn between the power promised by the south and the duty he bore to his homeland.
The battle was not yet upon them, but the winds carried tidings of what was to come. Would the Free Peoples stand firm against the creeping grasp of Krasnov? Or would whispers of power divide them, leaving the land ripe for the taking? The road ahead was perilous, but one truth remained: the North would not fall without a fight.
Came here to also say that pager is likely gonna be a little spicy. Lol. Lmao, even.
Some privacy laws would be nice, eh?
