      Gotta say, based on everything I see around me these days, as a group, Americans seem dumber than average.

        reagan gutted our education system, then bush ii broke it, then trump set it on fire.

        expect us to get even dumber

        So much so that one could argue the GOP platform relies on ignorance. It is the only way to get people to consistently vote against their own best interests.

    85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada

    We could just flick the switch on and off a few times. Seems to work on toddlers.

      This one doesn’t make any sense to me. Of course all of our electricity imports come from Canada, I suspect the other 15% is mexico cause I don’t know who else we even can import from. That said, probably most of these ‘imports’ are more like trades in that sometimes the nearest grid is across the border. I don’t think Canada is sending bulk power to the US consistently (maybe on certain days depending on hydro and renewables) and doubt a tarriff here would be nearly as big an impact as something like steel. I could be wrong though

        Thought I heard it was the hydro plants and therefore mostly New York and Michigan rather than small bits here and there… Don’t think they can be just turned off either.

    Let’s scrap any BYD tarrifs, 20k electric vehicles for everyone is a big win and it should teach Trump/Musk a lesson.
