This also means Canada should be free of its water transit treaties. Let's divert water from flowing south over the border.
Kick Nestle completely out of the country, too -- no more cheap access to our water.
Start right now on new local beef processing faciliities.
Rake in the lake!
No, IMO we need to be ruthless to make sure they don't try to go any further. The time for 'tolerance' is past.
Canada needs to hit back HARD with counter-tariffs. If we cave here, then where will it end??
Trump thinks he can unilaterally pull out of NAFTA (or whatever the modern equivalent is)? OK, we can unilaterally pull out of the water treaties that say we allow our rivers to flow south of the border.
The time has come for Canada to stop exporting any raw resources at all. Water, lumber, cattle, crude, LNG ... keep it and refine/process it and sell finished goods only.
Canadians may have forgotten how quickly the US caved on keeping cattle from being imported to the northern US states for processing when Alberta and Saskatchewan called their bluff near the end of the Mad Cow scare around 2003... Canada had all the paperwork to prove herds were being tested properly for mad cow disease, but the US wanted to leverage the fear to keep Canadian beef out to help their own farmers; so Canada decided to start building more beef processing plants locally. They panicked and re-opened exports fearing we'd become self-sufficient for beef production and stop sending our cattle to them for good, destroying their processing industry.
Also known as a 'Voluntary Departure Program', aka. layoffs that can't be pinned on the CxO levels for lawsuits wrt. age-ism or other banned criteria for layoffs, since it's "each employee's choice" but of course the company hopes all the older, higher-paid workers take the package.
This tactic is often proposed by Boston Consulting Group when they are brought in as consultants to 'help' a company. Management will tell everyone when it's announced that "it's your private decision, don't discuss with your co-workers".
Best thing for the workers is for to do the exact opposite: ORGANIZE, TALK: entire departments should decide amongst themselves that no one will leave, or that everyone will leave.
Everyone leaving is usually the better action for employees -- usually management will say at some point leading up to the decision day that "this is your chance, if we need to do cuts later, there will be no offer like this again!" And. They. Will. Cut. Again.
So take the package.
If any of them want to come back for juicy consultant fees, the company will make offers once they see over 50% of their staff taking the package, no matter how hard they swear "there's no coming back if you take the package".
Yet another example of how toxic religious extremism is.
There is too much talk of "freedom of religion" where we really need freedom from religion. Keep your beliefs, peaceful or not, private. No one has a right to enforce their beliefs on others.
Oof that hits
No idea. However, it seemed to be working a few days ago, someone posted tweets there and one could view w/o hitting the main site.
Someone posted that there's a service 'xcancel' that lets one view a tweet w/o an account or logging in. Just add 'cancel' after the 'x', eg. https://xcancel.com/...
Whoa.
A company I worked for did this years ago... said they expected 10, maaaaybe 20% to take it. 54% did and they panicked, losing most of their best people.
This is gonna be a clusterf*ck of epic proportions.
I actually had one of these, being a kid unable to afford even the CoCo at the time. Yeeks. A hobbled 'starter micro' for the time.
Tandy could've actually made it compatible with the CoCo for 1 or 2 dollars more per unit, but for some insane reason decided to use the 6803 instead of the 6809E, and make the BASIC use different token encodings from the CoCo (cause why be compatible at all?!) rendering it a silly dead-end machine. And all a mere 1 or 2 years before the 16-bit era began, putting all 8-bits on notice in general...
Thanks for the clarification on Nestle!
But yeah... agreed, f them it would be wonderful it they got caught in the splash damage.
