Whoever generated this bullshit failed every ECON course on the planet.

Currency is fluid, created and destroyed at a mere push of a button. It's backed by a nation's intrinsic value and how much others are willing to invest through treasury bills and bonds.

Tariffs in the second Trump administration - Wikipedia

Not likely.

Only IEEPA tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. They were quickly replaced with a 10% global tariff under a different statutory authorization.

There are two additional tariff sets under additional statutory authorizations.

Some good, some meh.

Yeah, no.
The rot runs too deep.
The US doesn't need "mechanisms". The US needs a complete political reform from top to bottom.

This is why I've given up on Canadian corporate media. They lack basic historical knowledge, journalistic integrity, or both.

Realpolitik is one reason we are in this mess now: the results of Bismarck's empire building in the 1800's and by modern resurrections by the current US Regime.

No, there are far more direct ways, and it's increasingly likely that those ways will be the only options in the next few months.

Those ways while volatile, are not necessarily violent. That risk is always there though.

What the Trump regime thinks is irrelevant.
The current impression is:
1️⃣ There will be no renegotiation under Trump.
2️⃣ Trump doesn't have enough votes to repeal.
3️⃣ If he illegally cancels CUSMA the US is a dictatorship and is no longer a viable trading/financial partner.

Bluesky ate my next post... sheesh.

Etymology is useful for providing historical context but we don't live the past.
Living languages change. "Man" went from people to a dual mode with male. When we need the neutral for inclusivity, we find "people" ready to use.

What's wonderful is that living languages change organically.

The past gives context but not validity.

God gesceop Γ°a Γ¦t fruman twegen men, wer and wif
(then at the beginning, God created two human beings, man and woman)

God gesceop Γ°a Γ¦t fruman twegen men, wer and wif (then at the beginning, God created two human beings, man and woman)

Intersting perspective. Etymology is revealing, and exposes that "man" primary source is of the species not the gender (OE "mann" meaning person, "wer" and "wΔ«f" were male and female), the use as gender specific is a later development.

It's a fair request, but there should be provisions:
- Disbursement by an neutral third party, with full accounting and transparency.
- The money goes to rebuilding infrastructure, services, housing. Nothing to the military.
- The money is spent within Iran as much as possible.

The plan was to OPEN the Strait of Hormuz.

Add another $1 or 2 to your gallon of gas.

Trump's corporate buddies win big with this one and they can sit with their windfall profits until taxpayers bail out the econmy over the next two decades.

77% of Israelis support continuation of attacks on Lebanon, survey shows A recent public opinion poll has revealed strong backing among Israeli Jews for the continuation of military attacks on Lebanon, underscoring deep-rooted support for ongoing war policies within the zionist entity.

It was published in Maariv, and that's as far as I can trace it. I don't know Hebrew and my mobile has horrible translators.

On the PC scale, buying a prebuilt or a self-build is the same, provided you wipe the prebuild to a bare-metal state.

On the data centre scale that's how they're built. Everything is set up in stages.

Hardware is a different matter. While US sanctions affect services, they don't affect hardware in the same way.

You buy it, you own it. It may be harder to get parts and software upgrades, but it will still function to spec.

Not hardware but cloud storage/server hosting.

The big three: Microsoft, Google, AWS, and others are all US-based m and have to follow US sanctions law regardless of where the data centre is.

They tie into so many secondary services that a country-wide sanction could be disastrous.

You can't trust any US corporation. AWS and Microsoft will still shut you down, regardless of server farm country ... ask the ICC.

US hardware companies can still shut you down if they have automatic update or maintenance updates.
