Bjorn, I beg your pardon, but get real. The media is doing the thinking for you, but that doesn't mean that you can do the thinking for people
who live in a town (in this case a country) that is not your hometown.

You still don't get it, do you?

Let me try to explain it in words that even an indoctrinated MAGA cult follower should understand.

Undisputed fact: In the US, with 4.2% of the world population, they consume around 25% of the total world production.

Since it's a well-known fact that around 30% of the grown-ups in the US don't know how to do proper percentage maths, let me rephrase it:

At a potluck dinner for 25 people, one person eats a quarter of everything, leaving the other 24 people to share the rest.

And yet you still believe that you will benefit from tariffs, keeping the production within your borders?

Well, good luck with that, when you are forced to reduce your consumption down to what you've contributed.

That means that for every five tomatoes you once bought, you'll only get one. For every five tons of steel your company once purchased, it now receives only one ton.

And so on. For every consumer good. Happy starvation. At least you may be able to solve the obesity pandemic...

This has nothing to do with what we were talking about.

If Canadians are feeling sad about Trump's tariffs, then they should have elected a leader who supports nationalism; but they elected for the opposite.

Carney is from the party that let millions of illegal immigrants into Canada, let the Chinese military conduct training in Canada, and let President Xi verbally bitch-slap Trudeau for having "loose lips."

You seem to think that watching TV makes you know how people in other countries feel, and that is something you should discuss with your doctor.

We're both guessing at what Canadians think.

No, we are not. You are, not me and every other educated person in
the world, which includes most Canadians and even the majority of
USAians.

Lest anyone forgets..... Beeeeeorn here is an *EXPERT* on all things Canadian, and of course all things regarding the *USA*, and I'm sure there is a LONG list of other countries he knows everything about...

Even his little postage-stamp country (hopefully), that isn't a factor
in anything in the world.

<YAWN>........... Fuckin blowhard bloviator is what he is.

Wow! I wish I could have summarized better, but you got it right.
You've got the knack, congrats!

And you and your kind still refuse to share with us from outside the US any inside information about food prices, which we hear so much about via various media and social networks. Why?

Is it simply so, that chores are above a MAGA cult member's dignity; let Mommy buy the groceries?

Well then, why not ask Mommy what she thinks about the current food prices and where they seem to be headed?

Correction: You WERE funny but now I'm feeling sorry for you because you're showing signs of a serious illness and there's nothing funny about that. I wish you the very best. (Try Prevagen!)

I gave you a link to wegmans.com with parameters to the egg prices. You would have to copy the link and paste it into a web browser. There's no other way I can prove the egg prices to you unless you want me to send you my receipt or something.

I also explained that the reason I have food stamps is because the very leftist/ridiculous/Democrat city council is giving foodstamps to every single taxpayer in the city with school-age children. I didn't apply for it. It's called "P-EBT" which stands for "Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer." They're giving this benefit to us "because of covid." Hello? Who's milking the system here? Me or the damn Democrats?

Where did I ask you for proof? Do people often have to question what you say? I begged for y'all's personal experience.

I even asked entitled welfare cases like you for your Momma's opinion.

But, no, pure deflection, as usual from those who cannot answer questions.

What's the point in having any conversation with you? You don't belive me, so I showed you proof, but now "proof is for idiots."

Thanks for proving all my points for me.

Why would we do that, when we have you to explain the finer points
of politics and food prices in the US (where you don't live or buy
food)?

You're questions were answered multiple times with sources and you
still harp the same old tune. Your replies are always the same.
It's like you're a broken record playing the same tune over and
over.

Have a great day Chef!

I try to refrace my questions when you don't answer them.

And no, sources are not the proper answer when I try to get a first-hand opinion. We actually have internet here in Sweden too, I can also Google for answers.

When y'all repeat that I don't know anything about your country, what information do you have that I don't? And I don't even filter the information through the mandatory MAGA filter you are brainwashed to use. That gives me a huge information advantage over your kind.

What I don't have is a first-person experience, to fill in the blanks, since I no longer live in the US. But even that was obviously too much to ask. Sorry, wrong channel, I'll look for another one, not MAGA infested.

Tell your self-confessed welfare case friend, that he'll soon be in real trouble when the taxpayers no longer can afford to pay for his energy and food. I know that, because I gather information from sources y'all don't even know about.
