Don’t they (US) stand to loose more if digital service taxes get really implemented? The current version is quite small and symbolic. Other countries introduced this on a small scale but would all benefit from building their own digital service ecosystem shielded from the US competition: it didn’t happen at scale not to break overall business with the US but if the business is breaking anyway…

10 % isn’t based on anything but let’s imagine: 2-4 % military 1 % communication infrastructure, media and unbiased information 2-4 % healthcare 2-4 % food. You quickly get to 10%. Too big and you loose the benefit of free trade.

Free trade is the best system for 90 % of an economy. I will take a dump on Trump any day, maybe twice , but having a small capacity to build your own silicon chip is mandatory in case of a military conflict. Covid wasn’t a planned military conflict and first world economies couldn’t produce mask, gown… and luckily the virus wasn’t so deadly and only a small % of the population died.

I am Canadian… by any free trade perspective it looks like we should buy our milk from countries with less harsh winter… but then we would be on our knee if an idiot decide to bully us with a duty tax.

There should be free trade for 90 % of a country gdp and elected officials can change their list of excluded 10 % every few years.

It’s beginning, i hope it grow strong enough because it will take a few years of pain before we emerge stronger. I doubt the majority of Canadian have a strong enough resolve now. We can easily be divided.

Do you have a link for those reviews of Tuta email?

I know nothing, but isn’t some pieces of Google software to be found on many sites that aren’t Google or YouTube?

Please come, it’s fun not to fight insurances companies and just prescribe what you consider is the best treatment without thinking too much about the capacity of the patient to fill the prescription.

I will boycott American product with a passion, but what’s a little brain drain between “friends”? Any other field with smart and motivated women we might be interested in?

Brawndo!

This concept pop up every years and each time i am surprise by how happy i am for US politicians to be forced to acknowledge climate change and then sad for all those people priced out of living at a fair price in a safe place.

Where is the preferred way to express gratitude through kind word and financial support.

For example, lemmy developers can be help through Patreon, but what % of the donations stays with Patreon?

You mean that if the bribe is interesting enough, the timeline can be arranged?

And then, “for national security,” Canada drop food imports and non essential medication from the US regardless of its Nafta 2.0 signature. Anyway the US made it clear that this trade deal isn’t binding. Other developed economies in Europe and Pacific will do the same as soon as they aren’t the first one to do so… So much winning and greatness in America.
