    I’d love if we cold turkey completely decoupled. Imagine if carney just walked up to the mic and said “I’m so done with your nonsense, no deals, get your shit together, we’re done” and walked away, I’d love that.

        No reason we can’t reapply it. In the end, it is a minor item as there is a global solution in the works. This was just a stopgap measure until the global tax on internet services is applied.

    The utter basics of business negotiation is co-operation to make each situation a win-win for each party and not to come out “victorious” as Trump appears to think whilst screwing the other side.

    Clearly, the world has had enough.

    Not buying milk was a national security threat and it lead to a cave in Missouri with 1.4b pounds of cheese, Dominoes surviving, the cheesy gordita crunch, and Got Milk?.

    All because religious women were tired of men being alcoholics and we could deliver fresh ice cream to a foxhole on Iwo Jima to treat war fatigue.

    Everything I said is real, America is a joke of a country.

      And cheetohs too, i think.

      Gotta love the ice cream barge story tho, what a weirdly demoralizing thing for another country to be struggling to maintain a supply line and the enemy shows up with a fucking barge that’s purpose is to constantly churn out 3 flavors of dessert

        One of my favorite stories is the diary or letter that a German made after the US invaded. They captured a position and found a fresh chocolate cake. At that point the German army was raiding villages for food because the German supply chain was fairly disrupted. So that dude wrote about how fucked the war was going for them and the Americans had fresh chocolate cake in a warzone on the other side of the planet while the Germans were in the next country over from home.

        That must have been absolutely demoralizing coming to understand the American logistical prowess.

        Now we send semi-trailers with Burger King and McDonald’s across the globe to feed the troops. 'Murica
