I wish your comment wasn't downvoted as it is fair.

While this community is hosted on our Canadian instance, I believe that it's still fair to post here as we (for better or for worse, currently worse) share close borders with the US and in the PC parts marketspace; generally whatever happens in the US tends to have effects up here as well.


Extras:

Funnily enough in this case however; Trump's decision will likely make markets outside the US better, Why?: well American companies themselves will likely redirect incoming parts to other nations as the tarrif cost will be difficult to bear in such short notice.

  • we saw this happen during Trump's initial tarrif snafu and we're probably gonna see this happen...again. What a fucking moron.

For my American friends, this really blows and I'm sorry :/

For those who I know, when I've got time I'll try to calculate if it's worth shipping parts into the US from Canada. It's so stupid that THIS is the timeline we're living in.

    No it's not a fair comment, it completely misunderstands how Lemmy, Piefed and the rest of the Fediverse works.

    It's like complaining about Canadian news being posted on Reddit.com, because Reddit is a US website.

    Or complaining about introverts being on Piefed.social.
