Selective breeding is different from genetic engineering, but it’s still genetic modification. I don’t support what companies do, but the technology still exists.
When I hear about Republicans standing together I think about shared values, concerns, and ideals.
One thing that has been brought up is that Canada is also smuggling in illegals into the country, because they are letting poo in the loos in who can get a truck driving license with ease, come across the border with little customs check, and then not only distribute drugs but other poo in the loos as well. It's something Canada doesn't want to recognize because 20% of their population is now Curry Charlies but they're going to need to be treated like Mexico 2 in order to make it stop.
Maybe we can begin with codifying a legal distinction between the terms and stop using “GMO” as an obfuscation
This is what most people aren't grasping, or refuse to grasp because Orange Man Bad: Trump went to these countries and asked them to help us stop the drug trafficking. Rather than agree to help us, they either rejected the premise entirely or said the US should solve it themselves. These countries either have leadership making money from drug trafficking (Mexico and China) or have leadership that does not want to appear cooperative with Trump for publicity reasons (Canada).
Canada is 'technically' closer to America than the average European country, having undergone confederation to put up a Canadian Government over the individual provinces without fully superceding them. But yes, its an accurate description of Canadian politics as a whole to say the Federal government just ignores the provinces, collecting and redistributing revenues from them while putting rules in place to appease the 'politically powerful' provinces at the expense of the ones actually paying the bills for everyone.
Last time Trudeau was presented with the opportunity to negotiate with people in good faith over a dispute, he suspended most of our charter of rights and freedoms so that he could just force the outcome he wants. He's a petty tyrant who uses his power to try and bully others into what he wants, trying to weaponized Canada's old position as the global 'nice guys' to tar anyone who goes after him. But that shit doesn't work against Trump, He doesn't care about being mean, and the US is in far too much of a superior position over Canada to be bullied into anything.
It's hard to do that when American products cross the borders multiple times before ending up on the shelves. Also America doesn't make consumer goods anymore. I try to buy American when I can (they tend to hold up better, seriously my parents are still using the same bed sheets that were (Union) made in South Carolina back in the 1970s. But it's near impossible. Companies keep closing American factories and forcing the consumer to not buy American. And for larger purchases foreign companies either own American name plates or the quality is horrific trash (talking about cars here).
I can't believe I'm doing this but, to be fair to San Francisco, there are more cities in the Bay Area responsible for polluting the water. The EPA picking on San Francisco is unfair.
That pic looks more like the old man from Pawn Stars
The point of the tariffs is to make it cheaper to do it all in the US. Onshoring will then occur. Also to fuck over Canada that uses the US as a budget shortfall machine.
What are they gonna do, sanction the United States?
Maybe. Maybe something like “Genetically Engineered Organism,” since it’s closer to what corporations do.
As a case on government overreach? This is an absolute win.
These people are willing to sacrifice Ukraine to make Trump look bad. Crashing their economy with no survivors is child's play to them.
I miss American made goods that didn't cross boarders 100 times and use slave labor. Some one should invent a new type of economic system that favors these local goods over imported ones.
