Nope, but now I want to. Thanks.

It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Tabasco's refined taste all the way.

Life wouldn't be the same without Tabasco. How could I ever eat my cotton candy or cereals without copious amounts of it?

I also look forward to the possibility of an insurrection by the people, and the public violent executions amidst the unchecked chaos, probably right on the WH front lawn.

The world is already forgetting the WW2 horrors, as most people who lived through it are already deceased or near it. I guess it's time for a refresher on old lessons of civility and equality.

Yup, this is a good thing, as many people not following current US developments might not be well aware of the potential dangers of traveling there, and the lack of rights for certain groups.

Your average person will likely just assume media blew things out of proportion (as they often do), that it's just 'the latest drama' and nothing should happen since, c'mon, it's the US - freest nation on the planet right?

So being aware of the policy shift is a good thing, otherwise many people would be caught by surprise when there even with all the legal paperwork, visas and permits.

Yup. "But we're not there yet", so they say. "Too soon to act rashly".

'First they started mass deportations, but it wasn't a corrupt system yet, so we did not act.

Then they started refusing people who were critical of them, but it wasn't a corrupt system yet, so we did not act.

Then they started blatantly taking money from the poor and give it to the rich, but it wasn't a corrupt system yet, so we did not act.

Finally they fully took over the nation, but by then all the people who would have acted were already gone and dealt with.'

Not all, but the gist of it. Thankfully some bubbles of resistance are starting to form in the US, but the main people who were elected to uphold the law and fight this democraticly are already bribed or blackmailed, so it's in great part up to the people, and whatever stance the army ends up taking when they are forced to choose between loyalty to the constitution, or an individual.

Hey, that's a good thing in my book, I guess.

Same way as America prospered with talent fleeing a corrupt Europe in the past, now Europe can get that lost talent back from a corrupt America. The more they feel unwelcome and undervalued the more they will flock or stay wherever their talent can flourish and advance our progress as a society.

No complaints from me on that. 🤷‍♂️

Lord protect us all from the darkness within the darkness. Thoughts and prayers! 🙏

This should be standard, and very good on France for doing it. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

And I say this as someone who lives on a highly seismic region, where I used to see more awareness years ago. Pretty sure if nowadays we had a major earthquake or volcanic eruption most people would just panic, cause chaos and not have anything prepared for such an event. That's the unnecessarily scary part.

We should always acknowledge the uncomfortable possibilities, not stick our heads in the sand and hope trouble never comes knocking at the door.

Nothing shady going on here, proceed with your day as usual, dumb citizen. 🤡

Goodness. This is madness, I tell you. For them, that is. 🫡🤪

So Canada should just ignore all the stuff the US is doing, reinforce their economy by buying from them, and pretend there aren't risks regarding the possibility of the US being able to remotely interfere with the jets they sell? As if control over others isn't something the US would ever try to do.

The best machine in the world isn't worth shit if its reliability when needed is called into question, and much less when the seller can't be trusted with that much power. That's buying a few jets by selling sovereignty with extra steps - quite the bargain for the US and their current aspirations.

Buy from reliable allies, such as the EU, and if total defensive independence is a must start building the needed framework to develop a competitive jet building industry so that Canada can build its own by the time these ones approach EoL. Main point, avoid the US jets.
