Trudeau decided to go ahead with retaliatory tariffs even though Trump’s order includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if Canada retaliates against the U.S.
I’m pretty sure that people who say they want to “run the country like a business” just think it sounds good but haven’t put 2 braincells worth of thought into it. Businesses exist to make money. Government exists to serve citizens.
Do you want firefighters showing up to your burning house and asking for a credit card before they put out the fire? Or maybe have the post office decide that it’s not profitable enough to service entire states? The whole idea is moronic.
That’s the fallacy that I thought was learned back with Ross Perot. You don’t run a country like a business. It’s a government.

And it’s dumb, because, in the end, where is all that profit supposed to go?
The answer obviously is, to improve the country and the quality of life of its citizens, so we’re back to square one anyway
I mean, America already charge their citizens for healthcare, so they’re not that far off from your hypothetical
Also the USPS is too busy delivering papers full of ads and junk mail, rather than investigating mail theft.
How was it learned and when. Where I can lear more? Wikipedia didn’t have any clear answers
It wasn’t learned. He was a 3rd party presidential candidate that ran on being a business man not a politician. He came in third.
I think “businessman” is a little misleading. Snake oil grifter is a closer description of how he ran.
We all know he’s a failed businessman. Who else can bankrupt a casino multiple times?
America just played their Trump card and they got themselves good and fucked.
I was talking about Ross Perot. He was a successful business man. I doubt he would have been a good president.
