America Taxes Itself, Again!
The United States smelts roughly 30 percent less aluminium than it uses. Washington’s solution was a 50 percent tariff on imports, on the theory that new smelters would simply appear. They did not. One costs about five billion dollars and takes five years, and an idled Kentucky plant has already been converted into a data centre.
The bill is arriving on schedule. The Midwest premium, around 600 dollars a tonne before the tariffs, has passed 2,500. American manufacturers now pay close to 6,000 dollars a tonne while everyone else pays 3,500. Detroit will hand that on to whoever buys the next pickup.
Canada, meanwhile, cannot sell south and has redirected record volumes across the Atlantic instead. European buyers get the metal at a discount to what Americans pay. Americans get the shortage, the invoice, and the patriotic satisfaction of having done it entirely to themselves.

@MNold9096@GBC_Press Education? I have letters I can legally put behind my name. What you got? You can't even post unless it involves pasting an image.
You just revealed your own stupidity. Trump's tariffs on Canadian products don't get paid by Canadians . They get paid by American importers of Canadian products , that get passed on to the American people when those products are sold . This is the way tariffs work. Educate yourself and don't be so ignorant.
@Anna_xb2@Rabisaed1 The riddle plays on the nuances of English where words have many meanings and depend on context for I interpretation. STILL could LSO mean motionless.... In which case there at least 30 people that are very still.
This is bullshit. I lived there. As a Canadian, I moved there in 2019 to go to school in Ukraine. Why? TO LEARN RUSSIAN! There was no "persecution of Russian speakers" or banning of Russian. Russian was everywhere. I had friends in Donbas, Russian speakers... If you were law abiding, no problem.
Stop believing this fabricated lie.
You are correct in your last statement... It is true... Serious issues cannot be resolved without Russia....
.... Without Russia giving up, going home, minding its own business, and being a decent, non-terrorist member of the global society.
And what trump says, no one listens to. No one listens to a clown 🤡
@guyfelicella Your philosophical argument ignores the practical realities of math. You say there are millions of people in need. If you take 10 million people and divided into 1 trillion dollars , the result is a hundred bucks. You think that's really going to solve The world's problems?
