Can confirm. Three bags ran out so fast. We’re being showered with new twists and turns faster than you can count them.

Aah, the land of opportunities. If you’re a billionaire, you can do anything.

OMG, Trump is already providing such an epic show, and Elon is clearly doing his part too. Are you saying that Elon could knock it up a notch? I thought 2020 was crazy, but apparently we aren’t even in full-on crazy mode yet. This is already proving to be a popcorn heavy season, but this could only be the teaser trailer?

Cries in mobile…

As a response, Canada could just expand their existing tariffs to cover even more categories.

There’s also a flat version.

The original was from 1997. Maybe it was about time we switched to an updated version.

“I was a Trump supporter,” he said on Wednesday. “I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be like … against criminals, not every Hispanic, Spanish-lookalike.”

There’s definitely an opportunity here. It’s just that squeezing something good out of a rotten situation isn’t going to be easy.

If the next president continues along this path, Canada really needs to have a solution already in place. Who knows how long this circus will last.

If Canada manages to get well connected, this isolation nonsense is only going to hurt USA in the long run. Future presidents sure have their work cut out for them. Repairing this kind of damage could take decades.

On top of that, I think Canada could make a trade agreement with UK. After Brexit, UK has been looking for ways to mitigate their economic predicament, so old colonies like Canada seem like a good place to start. UK really needs the deal too, so Canada could be in a good position to set some conditions.

These sorts of preparations speak about the uncertainty mentioned in the article. That kind of uncertainty also hurts both countries. I don’t think there’s any net benefit to anyone.

Some highlights I found interesting:

The tariffs have been met with deep anxiety in Canada, whose majority of exports are sold to companies and clients in the US. Officials predict up to a million job losses if a 25% across the board levy went ahead, while economists warn that a recession is imminent if they persist.

Even with the tariffs being scaled back temporarily, the uncertainty alone is hurting both American and Canadian economies, says Rob Gillezeau, an assistant professor of economic analysis and policy at the University of Toronto.

“The most sensitive thing to uncertainty is business investment,” Prof Gillezeau says, adding that firms are “not going to want to spend a dime anywhere” until they have some clarity.

That trepidation is also seen in the stock market, which had erased virtually all its gains since Trump won the presidency in November.

“Land of the free”, they said. Freedom of speech, and all that.

Water. The hangover will last till the next inauguration. You won’t even notice what’s going on while you puke.

By eradicating one species, you’re probably going to save the entire planet. I guess in 500 million years the descendants of modern crows could become the new dominant species and they’ll end up nuking the planet sooner or later. You win some, you loose some.

You need a strategy to reach your goals, and it should include getting enough sleep. Neglecting it will not help with your goals, unless one of them is to be as miserable as possible.

It will make you angry and frustrated, if that’s what you’re looking for. Probably doesn’t help with learning at all, quite the contrary. If you’re interested and engaged with the material, you can learn so much faster. If you hate what you’re doing, there will be very little progress, if any. Take a nap, and look at the material with fresh eyes when you feel better.

There can also be something I call “mental inertia”. Occasionally, it’s difficult to get started. That’s when a short warmup can help. Start with something easy, to get in the right mood. After that, you can tackle some of the harder problems.
