@ItsJ_Z23@ramit@BillAckman You don’t think Mamdani is in favor of a wealth tax? Look at California. Mamdani has no original ideas, eventually you run out of other people’s money. Ramt should be the example. Rich people already pay all of NY and USA’s taxes
@solarjedimaster@GerberKawasaki Or maybe Americans can absorb it - our trade deficit with Mexico is 1% of our gdp but selling to US accounts for ~40% of mexicos gdp. Therefor we have political leverage to stop them doing things that are harmful to the US
@Relayer1200@IAmClintMurphy@Sadie_NC If Ecuador was a US state, it would have the 10th smallest gdp
Great job Trudeau!
He only needs to find about 1,000 more Ecuadors and he's good to go.
@Relayer1200@IAmClintMurphy@Sadie_NC Exactly, theyre already doing it!
It is the smallest possible ask you can come up with and what does canada do? They tell the world they dont want to be allies with the US, eventhough it is a lopsided relationship
@IAmClintMurphy@Sadie_NC 30% of canadas gdp comes from exporting to the US. Good luck finding a better partner. All Canada had to do was agree to look out for fentanyl but Trudeau is pushing for fentanyl to be decriminalized.
@cate_rev@Huntindog1@tobi If Canada isn't a partner to the US why would America give Canada a trade deal that benefits them at the expense of the American taxpayer?
Canada needs the US a lot more than the US needs Canada
@cate_rev@Huntindog1@tobi 43lbs apprehended. 2mg can be a lethal dose - thats 2-5 grains of salt. 43lbs can kill 10 million people, that's 1/4 of the Canadian population.
How much got through? If Canada is a partner to America, why wouldn't they help stop that?
@BobEUnlimited What's the offset from the increased demand of [high propensity to consume] illegal immigrants on the effects of increased supply of [low wage] labor?
@pushtheneedle Ashville, NC
38,000 occupied housing units
~50% owned = 19k rentals
3,300 airbnb's - 15%
50% of hosts here have multiple units
Rent prices have increased 43% in 2.5 years
More to it obviously, but the only point I'm making is that the number of airbnbs is not insignificant
@Makeabuck2 @SteveMiran Of the argument. Some are out there because while they don't support racist statues, they also don't support antifa tearing up their city and vice versa. Boiling the whole thing down to "fine people" is as bad as saying trump told people to *literally* inject bleach. Bad argument
@Makeabuck2 @SteveMiran In reality, he said on one side you basically have antifa (there wasn't a word for them yet) who want to tear down statues. On the other side you have white nationalists. And you have people who just live in the area out here who are fine people and they're on both sides.....
