Oh, yay! I can’t wait for my coverage to include dietary supplements. If I’m lucky, maybe I’ll even get to keep coverage for something I actually need to live.

“Mr. President, can you explain the recent market plunge, and whether they were an intended effect of the reciprocal tariff plan?”

“The plunge? Fake news. There is no plunge, the only plunge is our plunge towards making America great again. The Democrats don’t want it, they’re selling off like crazy. Numbers never seen before. The tariffs are working, Canada is scared. Mexico is scared. Europe, China, Antarctica, all of them scared. They’re nothing” without us and they know it. But the Democrats, the Democrats. Corrupt Democrats are trying to undermine the greatest tariffs plan America has ever seen. They’re lying about the economy, tricking the banks to sell. But that’s fine, it’s fine. It’s their loss, they want to lose. The real winners, Elon, Pete, and other real hardworking Americas know this. They buy.

Make sure to let the door hit you on the way out, asshat.

They’re affionados of /pol/itically incorrect views. I chose that specific board for a reason :)

They do have a sense of taste… it’s just overwhelmingly rancid.

It’s more like a donut. Not all 4chan posters are DOGE staff, but all DOGE staff are /pol/ afficionados.

In what world can one country dictate the laws of another country without there being a war?

We are talking about a country that demands regulatory concessions in foreign countries, beyond those of which are afforded to said countries’ domestic businesses.

I was curious about that whole “Canada doesn’t want US banks” thing that started in the beginning of our deranged trade war, and it’s really stupid. Opening a bank there is oh so hard for our poor widdle conglomerate banks because… stricter regulations and an unwillingness to make 35% of their Canadian subsidiary publicly owned.

That’s it. Their banks have to follow the same rules, and Trump thinks that’s unfair for us.

Someone should check the email and phone number of Adrian Dittman to see if they match Elon’s. Idiots can argue that it isn’t Elon despite speech pattern evidence, but it’s harder to argue when both of them share the same identifying info.

My money is on them suggesting people will get a bigger slice of the pie once the “fraud” is removed.

Have them think they’ll get their payments, but with interest and a thank you bonus if they just keep being patient. String them along until they either starve or get evicted, then they don’t have to pay them anymore.

Considering past policies, probably something about not leaving a negative comment until you’ve truly listened to the “victim” and empathize with them

the lobby group for JM Smucker and other big food manufacturers warned against “overly broad and sweeping tariffs” that might end up making it more expensive to import ingredients like cocoa, which are not made in the US.

“I don’t necessarily want the current administration to say, well, we’ll impose a tariff,” Tom Madrecki, the group’s vice president of supply chain resiliency, said at a recent forum about tariffs, hosted by Farmers for Free Trade.

“It’s this careful balance between yes, I want you to take an America First trade policy and action to counter unfair trade policies abroad… but maybe not quite in that way.”

If you’re going to demand tariffs that increase prices to harm competition but not yourself, go fuck yourselves. The only thing that benefits is the company’s profit margins, while consumers are forced to pay more because you raise your own prices to match.

I think you’re forgetting his servicing of a certain knob’s knob. Here’s a hint: it’s 4 letters and can be made with the letters in “felon”

Uh… what? They only thing they have in common is following the POSIX standard. The moment you step outside of that POSIX lowest common denominator, it becomes abundantly clear just how different they are.

I get that, but I also really don’t think it’s a good idea to underestimate the importance of having a leader who strongly pushes back against Trump.

America is going downhill fast, and the current administration is highly imperial, expansionist, and corrupt. The “51st state” shit isn’t a joke. The government here said “if” they were to take Canada, it would be by economic force instead of military force, and then proceeded to leverage tariffs to create economic pressure on the rest of the continent. They undermine and belittle the Canadian government at almost every opportunity while riling up the conservatives down here by claiming yall are taking advantage of us and being welfare queens who are completely reliant on our handouts and protection.

Trust me, whatever shit you have going on there right now, it’s still a lot better than what’s happening down here. And as bad as we have it, you would get it even worse as a vassal state. By all means, vote for whoever you want, but at least wait until after the US has played its hand and made its intentions undeniably clear.

From my understanding, you have three viable parties. I understand saying “fuck the neoliberals,” but then why not pick the third party that isn’t endorsed by the insane fascist down here?

I forget which chucklefuck said it, but our administration said your conservative party leader’s values align with Trump’s, and Trump is threatening your entire country’s sovereignty on a near daily basis. If the expansionist “deal maker” who likes to demand mineral rights in exchange for empty promises likes him, I would expect that to be a very good indicator of someone willing to bend the knee and kiss the ring.

A friendly reminder for my neighbours up north: it’s not just the people down here who are bombarded by misinformation and conservatism. A friend linked me to a video equivalent of this news, and the comments were a complete cesspool:

I wish I could say that I cherry-picked a small sample of the comments, but that was 70% of them at the time screenshot. For the sake of all that is democracy, please keep doing your best to educate fellow voters. Don’t let Trump get the politician he wants.

I read this entire thread and you sound almost like a MAGA from down here. Are you sure you didn’t take a wrong turn on the way to r/conservative?

My bingo card:

• ✅️ The guvment is too far left and censoring us
• ✅️ My guns are being taken away by the libs
• ✅️ Drill baby, drill
• ✅️ Forced vaccinations are real and against my rights
• ❌️ A red MAGA hat
• ✅️ The other guy will fix “the economy”
• ✅️ Bring manufacturing back here
• ❌️ Illegal immigrants are the problem
• ✅️ “I like him because he tells it as it is”
• ❌️ The incumbent rigged the election

Being against providing a safe space for drug addicts is a new one, though. If they’re going to shoot up regardless, isn’t it better that their biohazardous needles are disposed of safely and not in a park?

Screenshots? Look at Mr. Speedy Pants over here!

In my experience, half the time it’s a bloody YouTube video. Nothing says “fun” like having to seek back around in a video to find the next step without waiting 20 extra seconds because you already had to seek back and pause the video after it breezed past an overcomplicated and poorly explained step.

You think that’s bad? For as much as I love seeing a well-configured Nix system, it’s beginner-unfriendly learning curve is almost as bad as “compile everything yourself” distros.

As a beginner, do you have a question about Nix? RTFM. You did? Well, wrong Nix. You wanted to learn something about Nix the language, but those docs were about Nix the OS and Nix the package manager.

You just read a guide for using the nix command and wanted to install a program with nix-env? That’s an outdated guide. You should be using flakes and nix profile. You tried that, but it said the nix command is experimental so you didn’t do it? No, you were supposed to edit /etc/nix/nix.conf to enable them first.

Don’t get me wrong here though, I like Nix. It just desperately needs an actual beginner-friendly beginner guide for flakes and nix command commands that doesn’t assume everyone is a software developer. 80% of the Nix documentation tutorials aren’t even relevant to regular users, only package maintainers and NixOS users.

Not at all surprizing. Spez thinks he’s an upcoming Elon-like genius and wants to surround himself with like-minded techbros, but he’s actually a massive Musk bootlicker.
