Wild. There must be something I'm missing. Mrs. Spiff is all "I'm afraid to live here, we need to pack go-bags, get passports in order, etc."

Which I'm doing because...well, happy wife, happy life. And she's genuinely concerned so I want to do what I can to be supportive of that.

I think the next 4 years are going to certainly suck, but I'm not sure if I see civil unrest on the horizon. Like I said, maybe I'm missing something.
I hope it won’t come to that but as a simple Plan B we’re renewing our European citizenship and sorting it out for our kids too.
Be lying if I said I haven’t been looking at properties in the Netherlands. Gotta get my passport renewed pronto!

Eggs and gas? I'm pretty sure that's what it would smell like if you were in fact "Living under Trump"

..accurately correcting erroneous statements and calling out proven lies is "censorship and infringing on free speech" 100% of the time when it's done to "conservatives." 🙄😏

Canada, Mexico steelmakers refuse new U.S. orders

Some steelmakers in Canada and Mexico are telling customers that they are refusing new orders to the U.S. on concerns that President Donald Trump soon will reimpose duties.

Canada’s Stelco has been telling U.S.-based consumers it is pausing sales quotes, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mexico-based steel suppliers also stopped taking orders for material this week as they await potential action from Trump, according to Flack Global Metals, a large buyer.

Trump this week signaled plans to impose previously threatened tariffs of as much as 25% on Mexico and Canada by Feb. 1. While the two countries are exempt from a sweeping 25% steel tariff the U.S. imposed during the first Trump administration, there’s increasing concern in the industry that the metal won’t receive a carve out.

“There’s a lot of trepidation and changing commercial policy by the Mexican steelmakers with regards to their approach to this market,” Jeremy Flack, chief executive officer of Arizona-based steel distributor Flack Global Metals, said in an interview. “They’re off balance because of this. They’ve gone from concerned to unconcerned to concerned again.”

Canada is the top foreign import source of steel into the U.S. and Mexico is the third largest, according to U.S. Commerce Department data. The U.S. consumed about 91 million tons of steel in 2023, with imports accounting for about 27% of that total demand, according to research by Morgan Stanley.
