Probably true. It is Trump backing the US into a corner. No other country in backing them there. Americans need to decide, do they get rid of him, or are they willingly sacrificing their family members so he can increase his net wealth (and that of his kids) at average Americans' expense? Unfortunately I expect Americans will be "patriotic" and die to give Trump not only all their money but also their health and lives.

We should be thanking Trump. He's so undisciplined, uncouth, uneducated that he talks like an 8th grade dropout mafia wannabe. However, that is much more representative of average America than the usual Presidents. He says all the quiet parts out loud. The US has been the biggest bully in the world since the end of WWII and uses every allied nation to prop up and enrich their own. For the past decades they have been masking it through a veil of diplomacy. But not Trump. He tells it as it is. Problem for the USA is that he thinks that is good and that America is a great nation that all others worship. Maybe under his government, the rest of the world will be freed from the US.

However for investors, without the hype-master, the shares are only worth 1/5 or 1/6 of their current value. Tesla was innovative 15-20 years ago. It has been severely sidetracked by Musk's ego.

Keep track of all the Bros and Cos that have supported Trump and boycott them until Trump is completely gone. Only consider supporting them again if... well never.

Poor Elon. Rich people really do not understand. Even if they came from poverty backgrounds, they lose perspective. They think they did it all by themselves to get where they are and do not understand that chance and luck play a big part in determining which 'hard workers with an idea' get ahead. The working world is littered with smarter people who just didn't get the breaks to become super rich. Once they are rich enough to waste $25M on a judge's election they really do not understand that for the majority of Americans losing their job can mean a quick succession to homelessness from which they may never recover.

Except, for example many Canadians, who are really fed up with being the kick ball for American Presidents (Trump has a lot of company when it comes to tariffs), who will do their best to not buy anything from the USA. I predict our trade deficit will go in the opposite direction that Trump hopes. The USA still needs to buy electricity, gas/oil, wood, and various other raw products from Canada. We don't have to buy finished goods from the USA since there are plenty of other countries to supply them. We really don't need to vacation there.

This would seem more accurate to me if it said "Grandparents at 25". I'm the 25yo parent's age and for us, people were already considering whether they could afford 1 or 2 children with mortgage and childcare costs. I guess if we had the big screen TVs, cellphones stronger than computers, gaming computers, and cheap airfare around the world, many of us would have also decided parenting was much too expensive.

Maybe someone should out her as an illegal alien.

Hmmm. I am of the generation to be her parent. It wasn't as hellish for us although almost all new parents are sleep deprived. The real difference? We didn't have personal computers, the internet, cell phones when our kids were babies and toddlers. The amount of time being connected takes up and the amount of time people feel they must be online is incredible. It is the difference between getting a night's sleep while also juggling job and kids and being permanently exhausted. In general, I think the pre-internet generations were much happier. It hasn't been the boon to our lives that we had hoped for. However I do know some young parents who are currently loving parenthood and do seem to be happy, just a bit tired.

Construction - building homes - may be something needed in Canada over the next few years if someone isn't a doctor or nurse.

Wonderful news. Keep it up even when tariffs are removed. We MUST grow Canadian made for Canadians to purchase.

I think the dealership fires and vandalism are insider jobs. The dealers have unsellable merchandise. An insurance payout is about the best they could hope for.
