        We don’t import from Canada. We import from ALBERTA with whom we have a great relationship with and from my understanding the CIA is actively making sure secedes from Canada to become the 51st state ✌️✌️✌️

            It’s called 20D Chess. Our AI already games out all possibilities and we have our future planned out while every other country is just trying to figure out what is happening. The might of the USA always astonished me, now with AI we are undefeatable!

              I appreciate this trolling, I really do. It’s the perfect ratio of rage bait to self-depreciating humor. Just remember all Lemmings have autism and at some point enraging them/us toe the line between delicious fun and callous cruelty.

      Time will tell friend

      Time has told. Similar situations have happened many times before, and the effects on European poverty has always been less severe than the US, for the reasons I described.

      The USA is self reliant on oil

      That’s not how it works at all. The oil extracted in the US doesn’t just go in a giant national pool for all Americans to use from.

      It’s sold by the private companies doing the extraction and several layers of middle men before the consumer sees only indirect (if any) benefits from the (private companies of) the country being net exporting.

      The US economy is more reliant on oil because those companies as well as car dependency are HUGE factors in how both the macro and the micro functions in the US.

      EU is always looking for handouts

      Categorically untrue.

      GOOD LUCK!

      You’re probably gonna need it more than me, but thanks anyway 🤷🏻
