A subsequent government could quite reasonably decide that rebuilding a stable, mutually beneficial trading relationship with Canada is in the US interest.
They could, but at any time another president can tear that agreement up and start another trade war. That’s the whole issue — the US can no longer be trusted to adhere to agreements beyond 2/4 years.
If you can’t trust a treaty to hold over time/presidents, each fair deal must be immediately transactional.
The Trump deal was already worse than the previous one, a new one will need be even worse.
Remember that Trump is just a data point on a trend of GOP presidents since about Nixon. The next president is set to be to Trump as Trump is to George. W. Bush.
No-one said the revolution would be easy, immediate, nor convenient.
You get the treatment you tolerate.
Prepare accordingly.
The point is to show up in large enough numbers that it doesn’t matter.
Revolts aren’t without risk, and typically bloody.

Belonging, contributing, being appreciated, learning, creating, growing, occasional novelty, human touch, emotional validation, companionship, shared pleasures. Physical, emotional, social, and mental capacity to appreciate this.
It’s sad that that seems difficult to achieve.

The reaction probably comes because rejection, being ignored, and/or ostracised are perceived as real injury by your brain.
Anger typically comes from fear, and the threat of ostracisation is an existential threat for the typical human brain.
We evolved as social beings, social injury and threat works the same as other types.
Wow, these are very good.
The first has too identical eyebrows, but the second is mostly suspect by the flawlessness which could be expected from retouched influencer photos.

Just goes to show how much the FIFA peace prize is worth!
Since about the 1500s we use double booking in bookkeeping, meaning the accounts look like that so that the balance sheet can balance and show 0 missing money. In most audits you don’t “summarise” error accounts, you check the balance accounts, statements and you check for why there’s stuff lying in the transaction accounts.
You should probably have stayed on a couple more days of your accounting class.
Lol, you know this is an example of abuser language?
It’s entirely reasonable to expect someone to hold themselves accountable to sort their own shit (and/or ask for help) while respecting the people around them.
Toddlers get away with having tantrums because they aren’t matured yet. We expect better from about the age of 7…
Delayed due to ICE and/or protests, or maybe they’re out trying to drum up a bribe inb4 being sued by the satsuma in charge.
It’s not so much that they can’t meme, it’s that they have only one joke: “Look how I can make this person fear me”.
General strike, demonstrations where they can’t be ignored, organised resistance, organised campaigning, even striking in solidarity with others.
Oh. You’re all struggling too much to be able to do that?
That’s you being oppressed, and you could organise against that: you could organise war chests for striking, unionise to regain rights, vote or campaign for actual peoples representation rather than corporate such, build resilient communities, picket biased media, organise or join collective action, prosecute and pressure corrupt politicians, counter lobbies, educating yourself and others, etc.
Gather neighbours, save funds, support eachother, resist where you can and coordinate with others to have a greater impact.
But most aren’t going to, cus there’s always someone else to blame, someone else that should save the day. And while you’re passing blame, the fascists consolidate, divide and terrorise, both your domestic neighbours and international friends. Leaving you more vulnerable, more isolated, and with less and less support to resist or survive.
Although the 12 hours aren’t divided in day/night are they?
And depending on where/when you’re at, it can easily be light out at seven and seven, even in the same day.
What the 12 hour clock does well is to track when the sun goes up or down relative to the only convenient time marker: midday. It also does so in a pleasingly symmetrical way: it gets light and dark at about 8, rather than 4 hours before and 8 hours after midday.
I’d argue if you want to track time, rather than record the ends of daylight, a linear scale for the whole day makes more sense. If it should be reset daily or not, be divisible by 24, 86400, 100, 1000000, a second or whatever is mostly a choice of convention. If you have constant access to a clock, Internet time seems convenient, for humans without clocks we use daylight and units like hours and 5-minute increments.
For that the 24 hour clock seems simple and convenient, although it would be nice to be able to calibrate without a watch (is it two or three hours before midday? How many more hours until wake-up time?). 24 hour time isn’t perfect, but it’s much better adapted to modern life than the 12 hour clock.
