Yeah, with OP’s attitude - skill issue

I hate cilantro

Small projects do not benefit from economies of scale, I can almost guarantee you very little of this is actual profits.

You need to double up your newlines :)

I believe it has to be declared on the packing manifest, but it relies on the expeditor being truthful. That’s my understanding of it.

I don’t think it’s about the place of manufacture, but rather the place of origin. A lot of items are manufactured all over the place.

Any time an eligible item crosses the US / Canada border, a 25% tariff is applied. This is how the US does it, so this is what the Canadian government is copying.

This is terrible for auto manufacturing, where various parts cross the border multiple times between raw materials, loose parts, assembled parts and assembled vehicle. Every time those parts or materials cross either border, it gets tariffed 25%.

I believe if your item comes from the US, lands in another country, gets re-labeled and then enters Canada, it won’t be tariffed, but don’t quote me on that.

Fuck you and your unprompted attack on neurodivergent people, and fuck your “oh I ruffled a few feathers” when you directly and objectively insult and generalize an entire group of people.

You sound insufferable, this is is not how you get help nor make friends. Too bad for you, but a large amount of people in tech are neurodivergent, and your post is gonna make sure that all those knowledgeable people now won’t want to help you.

Impossible, their username is joyjoy!

Absolutely, I’m not stating that the US’ water is undrinkable, simply that enough municipalities have poor quality or non-drinkable water that it’s easier for companies to market water bottles to people.

Stories like Flint, Mi. go international, and its crisis lasted for a really long time, despite being mostly the exception (see the other commenter’s Wikipedia link). And public access water fountains are not a thing in many cities, leading to an even greater perceived scarcity by consumers.

My point above was that enough municipalities have a drinking water quality problem to drive sales of water bottles across the country, the US’ drinking water is not bad across the world stage, but probably worse than most western European countries.

The solution should be either a water filter, or a filtered water dispenser from a refillable jug. Not disposable water bottles.

I love the smell of electronics! What I’m referencing is indeed the bitter compound they put on Switch cartridges, it tastes really bad and you taste it for a really long time, a stern warning to would-be choking children.

I presume you’re not from the US.

Many municipalities across the US have poor quality or non drinkable water, and many more do not offer public access to water fountains. Thus, bottled water is a huge market in the US as free facilities are not always available.

I’m Canadian and I legitimately cannot recall the last time I bought bottled or canned water. I bring my two 18.9L jugs to the store to fill them with filtered water for $5 and that’s the extent of my “bottled water” consumption. Elsewhere, I carry a metal water bottle I can get refilled anywhere for free.

Yeah Stevia tastes like poison to me, super bitter.

Basically all artificial sweeteners taste like either bitter or nothing at all to me. So I’m really angry when I buy a product I’ve been buying for years and it suddenly tastes like a Nintendo Switch cartridge.

>:(

Ok, enjoy 😊

Just because it’s not hate against you does not make it not hate, you privileged little you.
