floofloof@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Trump admin considering giving $10,000 to each person in Greenland to annex the islandEnglish13·17 hours agoIf he tries anything like this in Canada I very much hope our leaders don’t say that. Those of us who haven’t fallen into the MAGA black hole don’t ever want to be part of the USA, even with representation in their rotten system of government. I’m fairly sure Greenlanders would feel similarly.

I’m a Canadian. I’m sympathizing with your view as another Canadian. You’re misreading and being rude.
OK, are you telling me to fuck off after I expressed some sympathy with your view? And who do you mean by “we” and “your”? But maybe you’re telling Americans to fuck off.
floofloof@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Mississippi orders deletion of race and gender databases in state libraries37·22 hours agoI hope someone is backing up these databases and archiving/leaking them. One day it may become possible again to admit that race, gender, and discrimination on their basis, are actual things in the USA to acknowledge and address, not just sweep under the carpet while doubling down on persecution as MAGA Nazis prefer.

floofloof@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•RFK Jr. claims new research effort will find cause of ‘autism epidemic’ by September16·1 day agoThis is the same regime that’s trying to define gay and trans people as mentally ill. The fascist intentions are clear. Their policies don’t deserve a charitable reading.

floofloof@lemmy.caOPto News@lemmy.world•US stocks tumble again as reality sets back in on Wall Street1315·2 days agoIt probably means “Responding in kind, China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods.” The name “Beijing” is used to mean the Chinese government. It’s clumsy wording, but not nonsense.
I get where you’re coming from too, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have that bit of mistrust going on. I feel a similar mistrust towards quite a few Canadians too though, with all the antivax stuff we’ve seen, the trucker convoy, Poilievre being the most popular Conservative leader in a while, and so on.
floofloof@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Trump accused of ‘market manipulation’ with tariff pause18·2 days agoIf they have any sense, yes. Perceived trustworthiness is important. Mr. “Art of the Deal” of course can’t understand this and couldn’t deliver on it even if he did.
floofloof@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Trump accused of ‘market manipulation’ with tariff pause34·2 days agoThat’s the great thing about capitalism: anyone can make a ton of money, so long as they have a few tons of money.
floofloof@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Donald Trump explains his 90-day tariff pause: People were getting "yippy"33·3 days agoI hope the other countries of the world are still working out how to avoid trading with the USA until Trump has gone. The only thing he has established is that the USA is no longer a reliable trade partner.
floofloof@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Trump raises tariffs on China to 125% but announces 90-day pause for other countries – business liveEnglish4·3 days agoIt doesn’t much matter whether he has a plan to destroy the USA or whether he is a dumbass being manipulated by others with a plan to destroy the USA, or whether the manipulation is mainly based in blackmail or narcissistic pride. The overall result is the same.
floofloof@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•DHS to Begin Screening Aliens’ Social Media Activity for Antisemitism | USCIS43·3 days agoAnd by “antisemitism” they mean disapproval of Israel’s ongoing genocide.
