Canada

People don't understand the immense pride I feel as a U.S. citizen knowing that no matter what happens and what consequences there are we will only more confidently double down on being wrong until we get hit in the head by the sky having actually fallen because we somehow broke it for everyone.

We won the war on drugs, we won the war on terrorism and we will win the war against our own futures! We will show you!

Damn we are so smart, maybe you canadians need to drink more milk because your brains aren't very powerful, especially with AI now you need to catch up.

-I lean over and in a whisper add someone please rescue us from this hellscape, we are TERRIFIED

The tariffs put pressure on companies with cross-border supply chains to either move all of their manufacturing into or out of the US. Since the US doesn’t have enough infrastructure right now and US citizens wouldn’t want to work in those factories anyway, the tariffs are essentially killing what little manufacturing the US had left.

Anyone who doesn't see this coming needs to take economics and history.

Yep, my small business will not be fulfilling from the US any more. We will be operating out of the home country of the other founder. And I’m not even a big company who has to do real optimization for cost.

Trump’s policies are losing a lot of money for the US, and it will only get worse as companies that are slower to pivot get around to leaving.

This was entirely predictable and is quite gratifying.

Lol

A very astute business genius did this.

Tariffs are working about as well as skeet surfing would.

Lmfao we're cooked

The US tariffs are applied with no basis in reality. Unless you could somehow magically move the entire supply chain for goods into the US at once businesses' costs will go up with widespread tariffs applied. Because of how worldwide all supply chains are these days this is a completely impossible task. Not to mention the higher labour costs and lack of workers willing to do those jobs in the country.

Most businesses don't have the runway for an unstable business environment and it is in their best insterests to diversify out of uncertain markets. Hopefully we continue to see more companies look towards Canada as an option for serving their international customers. I'm all for incentivizing this as long as we aren't selling out the benefits of these companies bringing tax dollars into the country.

The company I work for is sending a few of my coworkers to train some people in mexico so they can take over some of our manufacturing so that it can be built in mexico and ship from there internationally, this is the first time in the almost 15 years that Ive worked here that we are moving manufacturing out of the US. the last time they had this idea was when trump put the first tariffs on china, the plan then was to build and test units here then take them apart and ship them to germany where we will fly to to rebuild it there then ship to china lol. We also killed a lot of our low tier products because its just not worth it to build and sell anymore so I guess thats good for new competitors to fill the void
