I don’t drink, but I figured an IPA drinker would be intolerable to all the real macho men around here.

Watched game one of the CHL -USA Prospects Challenge.  (Canada won 6-1)    

The skill level was really good considering most will be first round picks in the 2025 draft, adding in a small number of Euros.    IF you can, stream the TSN feed, game 2 starts tonight at 6:30.     

Looking at Tankathons top 10 board I think anyone in the top 3 is fantastic, Martone, Hagens & Schaefer.  

4-10 really good, 11-17 pretty decent. 18-24 probably better than most years in this range.

Got one of the new camo cans in my Bush/Cheney 04 coozy right now buddddd

Mulvaney is gone, Gillis is in charge, and BL's are back

See, I don't tuck tail and run when the he/shes try to destroy our beloved American brands. I stand up. Like I stand up for the national anthem. Because I believe in premium American lager. Like I believe in the American people. Like I believe in faith, family, and freedom. Like I believe those values built this country (so you can keep your IPAs and your guacamole the hell out!). Like I believe American families have the right to defend this country from foreign invaders pouring over our borders illegally. Like I believe jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Like I believe trans national bankers control our government. Like I believe Britney Griner should have been left in the gulag. Like I believe Russia has the right to defend itself against the globalist Ukraine. Like I believe in one China. Like I believe skull shape says a lot about someone. Like I believe 6 million is a pretty unbelievable number. Like I believe in Bud Light.

God bless you, and god bless anheuser busch.

Happy thanksgiving, commie.

American beer... sold right along side bottled water in Canada

State owned stores. What you'd expect with socialism.

Canadian beer in America? 25% tariff starting in 2025. Molson and Labatt lose their biggest market. Both have to be bailed out by The People's Worker Republic of Canada. Beer inventory plummets. Empty shelf space is filled by imported American lager: Bud Light. Now you can enjoy them in the new limited edition American Freedom can that has an image of DJT raking leaves into the garbage against a red white n blue star spangled background. Your welcome Canadians. US tariffs ravage the leaf economy. Maybe ill just go to the USA to find work or buy my funko pops and other *** communist s***? Too late. Tariff money collected put up a beautiful high security border wall. No syrup backs allowed. Whites only. 23andMe data used to identify anyone remaining in the US with leaf heritage. Scott and I, and Nathan Bedford Forrest, starting meeting up in the woods at night. We started a patriotic lil club where we work on our hood making and leaf raking skills together, and of course to enjoy a delicious bud light in the company of frens

Lol looks like someone needs to google "how tarrifs work"... life's about to get much more expensive, especially if Canada applies export tarrifs. All that Canadian oil at +50% should make gas pricy.

In all seriousness, I've enjoyed watching the new media narrative of "tAriFfS JUsT mAKe THiNgs moRe eXPeNsiVE"

That would be true... if you only think in 1 dimension.

Sure the chinese made widget becomes 25% more expensive for the consumer today. But the residual effect is that an American made good now takes that widgets market share (+jobs +earnings +manufacturing +growth). I worked in importing/exporting Asian and Europen goods from 2015 to 2022. I saw it first hand. The day import tariffs took place in 2016 we had an executive meeting that resulted in my former employer ceasing all importing and distributing of chinese goods in our product line. And on our Euro goods we were forced to eat the cost and increase our prices. Do you know what the result of this was? Our US based competitor killed us, and basically captured the American market on all the goods being tariffed. Do you know what we did to compete? We refocused all our capitol into expanding our production in the USA. Funniest part is: Our flagship product wasn't even cheaper than the American version before the tariffs lol. But after the tariffs we could no longer land the product in the US at a competitive offering for the customer. So price did not rise for the American consumer... the tariff just killed foreign competition in the market. 

USA's economic power rests on being the largest consumer market in the world by far. An import tariff is a major flex of that power. The same cannot be said of Canada. I do think Canada and Mexico would be wise to also impose more import tariffs, but they have to be more strategic, as both don't have the market flex the USA does that can kill a companies bottom line. Especially Canada. Mexico on the otherhand is quickly becoming a manufacturing powerhouse. And trade between the US Mexico is likely to increase despite any tariffs on Mexican goods, thanks to the tariffs on the Chinese. Despite Mexico's "issues" IMO they are on the doorstep of a major economic boom. I'm seriously considering buying land down there so I can ex-pat down there in retirement. 

Anyway tariffs work and are good. There's a reason Biden and Harris didn't end the ones trump imposed in his first term!

Regard awayyyyyyyyyyyy!

If American made widgets were price competitive or of high quality, tarrifs wouldn't be required.  

[Axl Foley 334]

Tariffs are just threats to get Mexico to close their Southern border and do a better job of working with USBP to stop illegal entry on their Northern border.

Here's a thought experiment for you:

Country A pays their workers on average 60K per year. 

Country B pays their workers on average 15K per year.

What should country A do to compete with country B?

A. Force workers to accept 25% of their current wages

B. Tariff the goods from country B to offeset their labor advantage

C. Do nothing and allow work to move to country B

I google translated "Lages" from Lagesson. Lages in Swedish means "create". So his last name is literally "creators son".

Christ is with us. Bless.

I wonder if the wings are still interested, they would have to make some cap moves to get him in under budget.
