McDonald’s couldn’t even get AI to take drive-through orders properly. Musk wants it to run the government without even doing a test run first.

I’d be hoping that Trump’s time in power would be far outlived by the F-35 program and would be only a footnote in the history of friendship between Canada and the US. But nobody who knows what the future has in reserve.

My father was in the Canadian military and posted to Germany in the late 70’s. My mother was born and grew up in a small village in Alsace-Lorraine. When she reached adulthood her parents bought her a train ticket, gave her a bit of pocket money and sent her away from home so she could learn to live independently. She ended up in Chamonix and picked up a job at a restaurant/hotel, where she met my father who happened to be on a ski trip there.

They’re not entirely the same.

One of them isn’t randomly shedding body panels.

A: The US debt is about to get out of control and the government is too dysfunctional to fix it. Whatever moronic destruction Musk is doing is not what will help. Trump is making it even worse too

B: It doesn’t matter how noncredible a plan it is. Trump has pulled every lever he can to do what he wants unhindered by anyone with a functioning brain and now he wants to annex the country by trying to destroy its economy, even if it doesn’t succeed at annexing the country, he will still damage Canada’s economy.

C: Canada controls the Northwest passage and is the key to controlling the Arctic. By itself it is forecast to become a viable and profitable shipping route thanks to global warming. It is about to become a huge economic lever against China’s exports. There is a reason why Trump wants to control the Panama canal again as well.

D: Resources: There is a vast wealth of minerals and potentially undiscovered oil about to become cheaply accessible once the North opens to shipping. There is also a huge reserve of fresh water that the US covets.

There is a reason why Russia is pushing to take control of the North. Even China made claims that they are a “near arctic state” which is laughable, but clearly indicates that they want to throw their hat into the ring to gain access to the wealth that buried below ground there.

They want to annex Canada and they misguided belief is that damaging Canada’s economy will facilitate that. Fentanyl is just an obvious pretext.

He saw that Canada’s economical troubles has hurt Trudeau’s approval ratings and pushed the vote towards the Conservatives. He thinks that damaging Canada’s economy more will create a movement to join the US.

How severely misguided. He clearly didn’t see how the very suggestion of the US annexing Canada has resulted in a huge change in the polls. Canada will bite the bullet and go through the pain of rearranging its economical supply chain and partners long before they allow themselves to be ruled by that moronic tyrant.

I thought it was common knowledge already by that point. He wants Canada’s resources and strategically advantageous geographical location.

The US government is broke. The spending and debt are out of control and their political system has become too dysfunctional to fix it intelligently. He hopes that annexing Canada and exploiting its resources unhindered by regulation will magically solve the problem.

Canadians, do not fall for it. Trump wants you to work in his mines.

It’s already rich. The wealth is just held by like 6 guys.

Anywhere that isn’t a high needs retirement home or a mental hospital is out of his element

Context: Most of the body panels on the cybertruck are actually glued on at factory and the glue fails in cold weather, leading to the truck shedding body panels as it drives.

That one started to fail exactly like that.

Don’t stay too close behind a Cybertruck on the road.

One thing that annoys me with the market at the moment is that the majority of folding phones available are like small crappy tablets that fold into a large, impractical to carry phones, and not large, very usable phones that fold into something much more compact that is easier to carry…

Trump-led US is on the Russian side. They only pretend to care for appearances.

It’s almost like it was a bad idea to give the ability to do 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds to something that weighs 3 metric tons, handles like a shipping container carrier and has nonexistent steering feedback it might have as well been steered by touchscreen controls.
