    To all my Canadian and Mexican brothers and sisters - As an American, I sincerely apologize for the lunacy of my government. Please understand that this trade war is NOT the will of the American people, but rather that of the oligarchs who have co-opted our government. We are so sorry. Thank you.

    Calling on everyone else in the West and the global economy: keep your eyes open for opportunities to support the Canadian and Mexican people.

    They are standing up to this corruption and fighting it where it stands. This is going to hit them hardest first, and they deserve our support.

      As a Canadian, I feel like that increasingly bipolar and sometimes insane downstairs neighbour we’ve always had has left their apartment and come up to ours (Mexico’s included) to drag us out onto the street to take us all out in a weird murder suicide.

      I can’t say I’m not a little bitter at you guys (or some of you, I know most of you on Lemmy are suffering just the same and to you: we’re in this together ❤️)

      Eggs will be super cheap now! The fuel necessary to get the eggs to the supermarket, unfortunately, will be much more expensive.

      Oh well.

        Also the eggs are more expensive than they’ve ever been. But libs are being owned and rich people are getting even richer so that’s nice.
