Thanks for the geographic image. What's your point?

Manufacturing always creates value added products. That's the point of manufacturing. (except when something manufactured finds no buyers) But why "even with AI and robotics"?

Under the Ukrainian constitution, elections are forbidden. How does that translate to the Canadian constitution doesn't exist or isn't valid?

I wish I could spot a type here but what is this supposed to mean?

I'm assuming there's some sort of typo in your comment.

You're suggesting that? On what basis?

Not so long ago you predicted that Canadian revulsion at Trump wasn't much of a thing and that Canadians hated Trudeau more than they hated Trump. No one is denying that Canadians will go south for vacation. I got news for you: Mexico and the Caribbean are south of Canada, too. What about that 70% drop in reservations for the summer? You don't think that the Canadians are enraged about Trump's insults of Canadian sovereignty and his threats to annex it?

Who could ever have foreseen the US threatening Canada? Until very recently, that would be a punchline.

Actually, those robots are quite grown up already. The global market for Industrial Robotics was valued at US$87.1 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$162.7 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.0% from 2024 to 2030.

And if the US gives them up and the rest of the world doesn't?

Oh, now it's the long term. Right. Trump made a major point of that in his campaign How there would be years of sacrifice and hardship but in the long run it will pay off?

That is a fair point. And not only that, it's given Europe 2 enemies instead of 1!

Are you suggesting some kind of plot? Given that the Constitution was ratified in 1996, that's some long range planning! Very impressive.

False, The Constitution is not suspended. Just elections in accordance with the Constitution.

The problem is that there's such a scarcity of pro-Trump facts.

And every one of those steps is trampling on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

Well, the point of what I've cited is that Musk has come up with zero verifiable facts to back up his claim. So how is someone going to find those facts when they don't exist. Of course, all you have to do is find some verifiable facts that support Musk's claim. Good luck with that.

The Stacy Abrams foundation? Making things up much?

I remember when Trump did a 180 degree turn on H1B visas. Virtually all the Trumpists here swiveled in unison.

EU approval among its citizens hits record high as security fears grow, poll shows BRUSSELS, March 25 (Reuters) - Support for the European Union among citizens is at a record high, with three quarters saying membership of the bloc is beneficial because of its role in protecting peace and strengthening security, a Eurobarometer poll showed on Tuesday. The poll, conducted for the European Parliament in January and February, found that 74% EU citizens thought their country benefited from EU membership - the highest recorded since the question was first asked in 1983.After three years of war in Ukraine on Europe's eastern flank, the survey comes amid fears that Moscow may attack an EU member in the coming years and doubts about the future of U.S. protection for Europe via the NATO defence alliance. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-approval-among-its-citizens-hits-record-high-security-fears-grow-poll-shows-2025-03-25/ I don't think those results actually comport with your view of the situation.

Projecting much?

Well, thanks for sharing with us your apparent obsession with Ilhan Omar. That's one muslim in America noted. About 4.5 million more to go.

So it was Clinton,, was it? https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFSD

Because being a Muslim is un-American? Good thing for the opponents of this plan that there is no such thing as freedom of religion otherwise...

So, we agree.

From the Marxists at Fox News: Inflation gauge favored by Fed showed core prices ticked higher in February The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge showed prices rose in February at a pace that continues to exceed the central bank's target level amid its ongoing efforts to tamp down inflation The Commerce Department on Friday reported that the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index rose 0.3% from the prior month and 2.5% on an annual basis. Those figures were in line with the estimates of economists polled by LSEG. Core PCE, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.4% for the month and 2.8% from a year ago, slightly higher than estimates of 0.3% and 2.7%, respectively. https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/february-2025-pce-inflation
