@Clip_Station_ You (as the customer) choose not to pay for the service then you shouldn't receive it again, from anyone.
AI will be "blacklisting" no tipping customers as they attempt to enter restaurants soon.
@CanadianCoffey@PierrePoilievre The USMCA is not going to be re-newed by Trump. That's 20% of Canada's GDP, An economic contraction THAT LARGE has happened a few other times in various countries.
For the US it MIGHT cost 1% of GDP but it will destroy Canada's for a decade at least.
That's the math
@ItsDeanBlundell@petehoekstra Trade deal ends and the US risks about 1% of its economy, temporarily.
Trade deal ends and CANADA'S GDP CONTRACTS 20%, resulting in the collapse of the Canadian economy for at least a decade.
That's just the MATH.
@Defence_Index Most of the US defense contractors, including Boeing, are running a substantial order backlog anyway.
Delivering KC-130's to the US air force ALONE keeps the factories in the US running for years.
@sleightof52@nicksortor US satellites detected a focal rise in uranium isotope concentrations, consistent with a build of weapon's grade stockpiles.
The US WAS disengaging from the Mideast until we detected THAT.
A risk too great
@_InfoGram_ Can France or the entire EU provide a credible national defense alternative?
Given the vast time and money required to do so, and the costs associated with "falling short" are the Europeans ready to accept the consequences of failure?
@LauraBabcock CUMSA is about 20% of the Canadian GDP. It's less than 1% of the US's GDP.
THAT is the leverage contrast.
Canada has NO LEVERAGE.
Don't expect much, or anything.
@marlene4719 The EXISTING CUMSA agreement facilitated a trillion dollars a year in trade, 500 billion a year from Canada sold into the US.
He's COMPLAINING about sales which amount to almost 20% of Canada's annual GDP?
I suspect this will be the last year for THAT.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox The USS Nimitz is CURRENTLY patrolling with the Argentine Navy near the Falklands with Milei on board. Asign whatever "coincidental significance" to that which seems warranted.
@rogerlorton The Falklands are a disputed territory, undefended, with a population which could be relocated with a single cruise ship.
The viability of this holding seems untenable.
@Reil76 And yet, without any fanfare or repercussion he STILL will choose to CRATER the Canadian economy in a couple months.
I guess the "negotiating tactics" of Carney isn't going to workout.
@Jenniferl554563 Unless Carney can "magic up" a viable market for 500 billion in Canadian products, a year, in the next couple months, the CDN economy will fall off a cliff.
China can't save Canada. The EU can't save Canada.
Canada at most, has months.
@ArmchairAdml ALL viable stealth aircraft have all 3 of the following, RAM, Geometry and (????feature #3). Missing ANY costs the viability of the craft. So far the CLOSEST to identifying (#3) is Japan.
They knew enough to ask for access to a site and the site's telemetry. They were denied.
@JPLuostarinen@Microinteracti1 The US REQUIRES dispersed forces on the bases the US has been building up in the Pacific for the past several years. Defenses in depth.
Europe is, for now, a low US security priority and they're kind of "ungrateful dicks".
Casting them aside is going to be popular.
@Bbmorg In all likelihood Trump has managed to cripple the US's greatest strategic threat, CHINA, by taking Venezuela and Iran's oil.
In the mean time the UK now quivers over Argentine adventurism without a military with which to defend anything.
@acnewsitics If Trump WERE a pedophile then why, when Biden was looking for anything to tarnish Trump and HE had all of the Epstein docs, was he left prosecuting him for the petty charges they chose?
