Panamá should ban all military ships from all nations from going through the canal. That would go a long way towards promoting world peace and easing trade.
Of course, realistically, they would be invaded by the US faster than you can say “Pissing off the richest military dictatorship in the world isn’t a smart idea”. Still, the idea is appealing.
Well, Americans can always wipe their asses with newspapers like in the old days, and that’s pretty much the only thing their press is good for these days anyway.
Trump may have shot the US in the foot on that one: I have a feeling Europe will finally do what they should have done decades ago - i.e. ween itself off the US’ protection, and also off US tech, with France taking the lead on the military effort at least - and this may hasten the US’ slide into irrelevance.
Do you know that Canada has a 250 per cent tariff? Two hundred and fifty, nobody knows that. They charge us numbers that are crazy.
Cheeto continues to be totally ignorant of how tariff work.
The only good news about the royal family is when they’re finally stricken off the civil list and made to pay taxes like the rest of their subjects.
how about they leave the fluoride in it for starters?
Google does not automatically mean bad
Yes it does.
Google does everything with an angle, and that angle is putting you under surveillance and collecting monetizable data on you.
Google has (or had, maybe?) fantastic products. They’re truly great! The translator, the map, Youtube… But they’re great for exactly the purpose of luring you into using them, so they can abuse your privacy with them.
Google products are trojan horses: they’re irresistible but their true purpose is nefarious.
He who cares about privacy even a little bit and uses Google DNS servers doesn’t really care about privacy.
That’s why I said it’s an old Finnish joke.
I lived in Finland long enough to know that the Finns are not really happy. Or unhappy. Or excited. Or anything at all. If they are, they hide it really really well. The only true sentiment I ever felt in the Finns is quiet pride of their country.
Here’s an old Finnish joke:
Why are people in Finland the happiest people on Earth?
Because all the sad people have killed themselves.

I’m sure the Finns aren’t exactly keen to take a price hike on eggs to meet a hostile country’s needs.
If I was younger, when the US starts a war in Greeland or Panamá, I would enroll to fight them. I’m sure the modern equivalent of international brigades will be created for exactly the same purpose they were created 89 years ago.
“We’re going to take in hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs"
…from ourselves.
Trump still doesn’t understand what tariffs are. You’d think the moron would have Wikipedia’ed tariffs at some point after talking about them for so damn long.
Finally! The American kangaroo farmers were really hurting because of unfair competition from Australia.
The names on all the titles are children of Elon Musk.
“check for violence” for any comments that contain the word “Luigi”.
This is gonna make Nintendo retro-garming discussions really awkward.
It was time to take the motherfucker seriously 9 years ago.
Looks like Orange Dum-dum got his trade war.
It’s quite different: the Panama Canal belongs to Panama and theirs to do as they please. Gibraltar, while not international waters, is free to all navigation for the purpose of crossing under the Law of the Sea Convention and may not be closed off by either Spain or Morocco.
