I'm not sucking Biden's dick. His economic policies are generally very stupid. That does nothing to change the fact that the US economy is hands down the strongest, most diversified, most resilient, most advanced, best positioned in the world.

The US actually has the strongest economy in the world at the moment, at least of any of the major economic players. US inflation is lower than it is in most of the world, and living in poverty in the US puts someone in the top five percent of the global population for standard of living. The...

The US is actually winning both of those. China's economy is fucked and getting worse by the day, if the US really wanted to collapse it the US President could do so with the stroke of a pen. Russia's economy is massively fucked and is likewise getting worse. And maintaining that "trade war"...

Not really. This is the Canadian government massively overreaching and disliking the expected consequences of that overreach. If Facebook complied with the Canadian law then FB/Meta would be losing money in the Canadian market and it would encourage other governments around the world to do the...

Well GiveSendGo has a rock solid civil case at the very least. And depending on the specific state(s) involved there might also be the possibility of getting criminal charges actually brought. Several states have computer crime laws that would be relevant, so if either party is in one of them...

Well I suppose this will be interesting. Just invoking the Emergencies Act is unlikely to actually change anything on the ground, so the question becomes "What is the government going to do to actually change things?" Freezing bank accounts in Canada is easy, because you aren't going to find a...
