Summary

Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian and Mexican oil are expected to raise U.S. gas prices.

Canadian oil imports face a 10% tariff, while Mexican oil is hit with 25%, increasing refining costs.

Analysts warn the tariffs will push fuel prices higher, with Midwest refineries particularly vulnerable due to reliance on Canadian crude.

East Coast drivers may also see cost hikes due to limited refining capacity.

Fuel traders expect the added costs to be passed on to consumers, contradicting Trump’s false promise to curb inflation.

      And not just “gas and everything” but also double that because all those things that will get tariffs will also be hit with increased transport costs because of increased oil costs.

          I was going to suggest you print them yourself, but considering how much printer ink costs, I’m guessing the first way is the cheaper one.

            You’d need some sort of fancy cutter to get them into the right shape, too. You could get die-cut stickers from a store like Stickermule for cheaper, but only if you buy in bulk (more than 100).

              A Cricut would do it, and they are affordable. The bigger problem is that standard inkjet inks fade and even run if you subject them to enough water. You really want to use dye sublimation printing.

        Can we get these New Liberals folk to get off of BigTech like Meta? Or at least get on the Fediverse and cross post?

          Meta products still have the most users though, so most companies/organizations still find value in them.

          FediDB says the Fediverse has 1.2 million monthly active users (people that use it at least once per month). Bluesky has around 20 million. Threads, which AFAIK is the smallest Meta app, has around 320 million with 1 million new users signing up every day. It’s on track to overtake Twitter.

          Cross posting is definitely a good idea though! I’m not sure which tools handle cross posting across all the current platforms though. I’d love to learn if there’s any good apps for it, since I want to more easily do the same thing myself.

    I’m hanging on to see how this turns out. Some political analysis says Trump is mainly a vessel to collect the glory of being president doing his thing, while the ghouls behind the curtains whispering into his easily manipulated narcissistic head are steering.

      Seems spot on, he was shown to be easily manipulated during the campaign. Watching him sign executive orders seemly clueless what he is signing.

      How would your budget look if one of your daily staples increased 25% overnight? It’s the same as New Yorkers or Californians mofking Midwesterns when their rent increase drastically to something that’s considered “low end” in their market.
