Finding parts for older cars is a very real concern, aside from a handful of cars that are very popular with enthusiasts.

If we want to be ridiculous, should we talk about Trump sharing intelligence with Russians, causing American allies to limit intelligence sharing?

It would be the most effective way to hurt Americans.

But it isn’t politically possible for Canada to do this. The two segments that would be most effective, oil & gas and potash happen to come from provinces that already have significant issues with the federal government. One is even flirting with separation, which would be inflamed by export taxes.

Canada is also very venerable to similar actions by the Americans. Refined oil products, fertilizers and oil & gas pipeline transit all come from the Americans.

It is fun to imagine Canada sticking it to the Americans with export taxes, but it will never happen.

Bonkers. Almost a million commits in less than 2 months.

I guess that explains why Dave Verwer handed off ownership of the iOS Dev Weekly newsletter.

Always great to see community members see success.

Americans may have trouble understanding that the constitution means something given what is going on there right now.

It can get so much worse than what we have in the West.

> Ah yes, because claiming that people are eating cats and dogs, something that actually happens in some parts of the world, is the same thing as claiming that the president ate babies.

We are actually saying that the president raped teen girls. Which is something that happens around the world - even happens within the orbit of Trump given the conviction of Epstein.

Correction: the class war already started long ago. Unfortunately the lower classes are not only getting trounced, they mostly don’t know the war is happening.

They supported it because they saw an opportunity to remove limitations on them, both domestically (see FCC, restrictions on state level AI laws, etc) as well as internationally (regulations, digital taxes, etc in the EU and Canada, for example).

I think you are giving Trump way too much credit. He is a much simpler man - he sees a weakness or some leverage, then he will use that for financial gain. No more than that.

For what it is worth, there are lots of double DIN aftermarket AirPlay options for a C6. No need for an iPad.

That may or may not be true. But what is immediately clear is that Trump has no idea how to accomplish it. Americans are in I believe 6 months of contraction in manufacturing jobs.

But none of that really changed. The money printer is still going ant the same pace, and will only be going faster in the coming year.

And the Federal layoffs from the DOGE nonsense haven’t even started to hurt since so many are still getting paid.

Something else is the source of this…

Maybe I am missing something but ~1/3 of voting age Americans voted for this. Trump was very clear that tariffs were coming, and even warned that Americans should be prepared for some tough times.

And another ~1/3 were comfortable enough with this to not bother voting.

I think people deserve what they vote for.
