I could slip across the border and fit in. I took a Canadian immersion class few years ago.

Wear a Rush or Loverboy tshirt, if its before 3pm hold a Tim Hortons coffee, after 3pm a Labatts, and walk around saying "that's a real headscratcher, eh?" - and I'd blend right in.

Needs more whining about bagged milk and the lack of good hot dogs.

'Truly Despicable': Donald Trump Jr. Ripped Over 'Disgusting' Post About Biden's Cancer

Critics slammed the president's son as "vile" for sharing a conspiracy theory about the former president's health.

www.huffpost.com

I saw that there was a push to conspiracy-ize the health of an old man, but I could not have predicted that the core of it was "Why didn't someone with a doctorate in Education identify a medical issue?".

Every time you think they've hit rock bottom, they break through and keep digging. How does one who is that painfully stupid get out of his house in the morning. Does someone have to tie his shoes for him?

I will need some money whiz like puck to really explain this, but doesn't this pretty much mean the dollar is going into the toilet and no one will buy our treasury bonds because the return is basically worthless?


Tired of winning yet?

I can explain it if a lawyer writing in invisible ink will do.

Means that the financial world no longer considers the USA the safest haven for money.
So if countries, corporations, funds etc. want to invest their money the safest fixed income, they will now look to:
Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland first.

so yes, that flow of capital to other countries should have a negative effect on the $US dollar.
Existing bonds US price have fallen, and newer bonds will have to pay a higher interest to compete for that international capital.

So all of that debt the US is issuing will be more expensive than the above countries, and than it historically was.
That higher interest expense directly eats into the US budget.

in other words, trump has managed to bankrupt multiple casinos, and is now working his magic on the economy.
and yes, the fucking idiots that follow him think this is winning.

Would having an unreal expectation of the Leafs winning the Cup make me fit in? Anyway I have my golden ticket as my Surrogate Theo already wants to swap.
