In Canada, a somewhat Trump inspired populist right leaning party had 100% of winning the next election.prediction markets had it at 93%.

since the beginning of Trumps tarring stacks, the center left party had surged in popularity to a degree not even thought possible. If the election was today, they would win.

Trump is giving people somebody to rally against. And the “us” vs “them” is the the world vs the US.

Every country should refuse to send eggs to the US.

The only way I would consider it would be if there was a US wide broadcast where the world leader that gives them some has a low-level staffer ask JD Vance if he is going to “say thank you even once”. Trump needs to then tell JD that he has to say thank you because “we don’t have the cards. With them, we start to have cards”.

If they won’t say that on television, put export tariffs on eggs to the US at 500%.

It has to be 500% because 3 times the current price of eggs in Canada is about what they are selling for in the US already.

I do not have a problem with people owning Teslas sold before 2020 or so. Even buying an older one used is no big deal in my opinion. If you buy a 2021 Tesla today, none of that money goes to Musk. You are not agreeing with him. You are not propping him up.

Even now, the Leaf only goes 200 miles. Less than a 2018 Model 3. Not good enough.

I agree, Tesla was the viable option fora long time. The charging network is part of that even still.

The NACS connector is a big deal.

There are already aftermarket batteries. The biggest problem would be autobody panels.

That said, while I hope Tesla stock continues to crash, not much chance of them going out of business.

If you were an EV early adopter, Tesla is the only brand that delivered the range.

So, they were the only game in town for a lot of buyers.

Not nearly as big a problem now. Tesla has real competition which is why sales are crashing.

It is because the Russians actually had settlements down the coast.

If they invade Canada, they better not grant citizenship. 30 million New Democrats (75% of Canadians), many new senators, and a bunch of electoral collage votes. There would not be another Republican government for at least a generation. Starting in 2026 (mid-terms).

Just the Canadians already living in the US would have stopped Trump from winning last election.

All we need to do is remind them of the above and they will never, ever invade. It is perhaps our most powerful shield.

With the above in mind, stop sending them nickel immediately. Their military will do the negotiating for us.

The only have the power we give them. Please give them none.

I think that is correct. Also, if you are looking for boogeymen, the immigration rings true as a problem for young people because Canada legit did go a bit too crazy and especially with International students. If you are young, and every school and workforce you are competing for is suddenly stuffed with foreigners, it sounds like the conservatives are right. That makes it easier to accept that they are right about house prices, climate, other social issues, etc.

More importantly, you don’t have to believe the conservatives, you just have to be mad at the Liberals for being in power as long as you can remember and screwing it up.

Changing leaders gives the Liberals a chance to also be a “new” team.

It is not difficult. Not everybody agrees that it a desirable thing to do.

I cannot see who made that comment. Pretty sure it is not the dev who is getting crucified. I am not sure it is even anybody that contributed to SerenityOS or Ladybird.

I certainly do not see anybody from the project endorsing that language.

I mean, I read the comment on Lemmy. Should I now go around saying not to use Lemmy and using that quote as evidence for why?

What are we reacting to here? The single comment from the actual dev saying that the project wanted to avoid politics? Or the actual hateful comment from some bystander?

Ladybird has split from SerenityOS and from that community. Hopefully the bystander has been left behind.

As for the actual project founder, if all he has ever said is that one statement, I am impressed with his level of restraint given how some have vilified him for it.
