Being from the UK - one of the privileged few to be tariffed - I couldn’t give a fuck about this.

The thing that makes me viscerally angry in my soul though is reading about Greenlanders who are now stocking up on food and/or making plans to leave their country if the worst case happens.

What the actual fuck. I can’t believe this is the reality we’re living in.

So, tariff away. As someone else said, it’s a badge of honour at this point.

So throw caution to the wind because a country (not your country) with 100,000 people are stressed out about geopolitics and possibly being acquired by the richest nation in the world?
> “throw caution to the wind”

Would you say the US government is acting with “caution” regarding a country (not their country) of 57,000 “stressed-out” people who don’t want to be acquired?

The president isn’t, but what does that have to do with your decisions?
Yep, as a former Atlanticist and admirer of the USA, who cares any more? Any opportunity to upset Trump is worth Trump putting up taxes on Americans (aka tariffs).
