@DustyRoseYYC It always mattered. Who said it doesn't? Because it's not in your social media feed? I reject the premise.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. He hasn't learned that lesson before, and he's broadcasting his ignorance to the world on a weekly basis.
Do you know about the concept of supply and demand?
On a global market, let's assume the US can redirect potash from Belarus. That means it paid more. China/India still need it, guess what, Canada has it. And, we can charge more! Artificial upset of natural trade routes isn't good economics, but Trump doesn't care.
@Vampanor@DustyRoseYYC Also - let's come back here to this thread in November. I predict the GOP loses the house and Senate. The rest of his presidency will be a joke. I'm hoping it's a lesson to the public to vote for competency, not feelings and entertainment value.
@MichelleLA1981 The world is already a global economic structure, but you haven't caught up with that fact. If all borders were sealed from trade, the world would go into absolute chaos and millions would die. You're just naive because you don't understand how interconnected we are.
@DThrowingShade@PeterHRatcliffe I hope you don't make decisions for anyone in your job, if you actually have one of importance.
Yes, cutting off Canada will not kill the US. But, it'll make the lives of many barely hanging on, much worst. Real leaders don't do binary decisions, they balance.
@the_jimmy_says I can't wait for reality to sink in on these policies. History will not be kind to Trump nor those who supported him blindly. It'll be a complex mix, as he's made good calls.. but, people remember the negative ten fold -
@VooTheViking If you artificially manipulate natural trade avenues, you lower efficiency of transfer - which just makes everything more expensive. It's a very simple concept..
@OttoKumbar@irgarner Better? Please explain the pros and cons of both sources of potash, and consider the geopolitical impact. If you don't know, then your opinion is rubbish
@Megatron_ron@grok can you do a fun compilation of all the times Trump said the gas prices would be lowest ever under his administration? Make it more of a temporal histogram to showcase the shear volume of his lies
@anthonycook65 You got fooled on Greenland, it wasn't a win. But if you want an equal spin and fooling session, maybe the Belarus deal is perfect for you?
@DimitrisSoudas People are terrible at weighing facets of a deal in a logical manner. The primary facets are clear, the Canadian -US relationship should be mended and it's the best economic option. Secondary facets are dumb chest pounding and retarded takes that don't matter at all.
@PremierScottMoe People literally can't engage currently with your argument. It's all deflection and grey areas that they cannot balance the outcomes. It's absurd that the US is even buying potash from Russia to begin with, let alone boasting some retarded deal with Belarus. Trump has to go ASAP
@say_so51856@jpuopolo We're here for it. I'd rather endure 5 years of shit for a better overall outcome for my children in the long term. I'd make that decision all day long. Bring it
@way_outof_here@jpuopolo Go watch a recent clip of Carney and Trump, and then try to pick the infantile one. Then ask yourself, who would I trust with my life savings? If you had to pick.
@Vampanor@DustyRoseYYC Not really, you're just seeing BS online. Everyone I know in my life is reasonably balanced. Most of the people I know are either doctors or engineers though, so I may be biased.
