i see your point, it just feels imprecise and weird to refer to a single country by its continent. using "united states" instead of america just feels more right

i know... still something that could be changed and/or being mindful of it...

americas is a bit weird, since to me it always meant the whole of north and south america, which is also how it usually is being used in a corporate/business context.

i think that might only have a weak correlation, because iirc the "trend" with high protein products started before ozempic became available.

i would say it is only the normal marketing cycle, like how 15-40 years ago it was the phase of low sugar

so i would predict that in 5-10 years we will enter a cycle with maybe high (healthy) fats/low sugar or something similar again

i would consider the us just being an ongoing insurrection, that will eventually die down

and... america is a continent... do you speak about canada, mexico, or south canada?

not seriously... it is meant as a jab at people complaining how back before the reunification everything was better (east and west alike), and the joke that it will create a lot of jobs :D

and "the wall" does not only mean Berlin... there were walls, fences, barbed wire all across the border between west Germany and the gdr

and if you compare binface and die partei... the "mandatory" knoppers (kinda like a sweet snack bar) break i would liken to the 99flakes for 99p from the bin :D

yep... energy will most likely not be tariffed, since the us relies on it to have electricity in many states...

iirc carney already hinted at export tariffs on energy in retaliation at the weekend...

or canada could just stop exporting electricity to the us, to solve the trade deficit and plunge the entire northeastern US into a months long blackout

just wait for 6 months, and since nobody will use epic on the steam deck, epic will sue valve because monopoly

not american, and sympathetic to canada, it was just meant as an observation due to how the global economy had been doing the last 1-2 years

Besides, Canada will be making some money with the sale of bonds. That money can be used to offset the negative impacts of the tariffs.

fully agree here

yep.. and the 40% were already the lowest rating in history iirc... so it just shows that he is doing worse now

I think it illustrates the deeply servile attitude of Americans towards their politicians

i do not think that this assessment can be made...

but the statistics can be compared to their own earlier stats, and that also paints a bleak picture for trump
