    Yeah… we’re definitely cool with becoming dependent on the US for our food supply.

    These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition

    “And only I’m allowed to do that”, he continued.

    It’s always projection with this imbecile. At least we always know what he’s up to, because he blatantly accuses other people of whatever he’s thinking.

    All is fair in love and war. If you did not want to fight as though it were a war, then it would have been better not to send over a declaration of war.

    “These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition, especially in Agriculture,” he continued. “Our Great U.S. Dairy Farmers deserve fair treatment from Canada. Enjoy it while you can!”

    The bastard cries about “unfair policies” that use tariffs to protect a country’s industry and yet in his own Steel and Aluminum tariffs declaration he stated:

    “To allow U.S. aluminum producers to restart production and to incentivize new capacity, additional adjustments to section 232 tariffs on aluminum need to be made, including limiting exemptions and increasing the tariff rate.”

    Literal toddler tantrums.

      This is Trump trying to tell his MAGA moron farmers that he’s fighting for them when he’s actually fucked them with these tariffs. US is THE largest agriculture exporters in the world. When the retaliatory tariffs come, his base is going to hurt because of him, they know it, he knows it, so he’s trying to change the narrative.

    That’s been the right wing talking point for a while now. It’s the only thing they could come up with, because even to them the Fentanil explanation was to thin. Of course they completely ommit or ignore the quota part.

      Not what he’s talking about. He’s still lying and whining, but not saying what you (or the headline) imply he’s saying.

      He’s saying that the pre-existing tariffs on out of quota dairy products are “cheating US farmers”. Which is not true. The body of the article explains this correctly and in good detail, but the headline sucks and nobody ever reads past the headline because we all have brain rot as a species.

      I wonder if a good Fedi alternative to Reddit would do something like force the link to be previewed in full or opened before getting to respond to the aggregation. Or maybe all social media was a mistake and none of it should exist, I don’t know.

      And let me be clear, I’m not attacking you here, this is a sytemic issue. Every human is subject to these patterns. Blame our collective wetware.

        if you’re into RSS feeds, i’ve found one for iOS called feeeed that will let you subscribe to subreddits (or lemmy communities, apologies i’m new here) and when you click on them it starts with the article and you have to tab over to the comments. it’s been nice.

        I would get behind “click through before vote”

        Seems like it has potential for abuse, though, aka forcibly driving traffic. It can be defeat-able though, it’s just meant to deter lazy human impulses.

          I’ll make a complementary argument below in a sec, but “enforcing driving traffic” seems like a feature, not a bug.

          For how testy people get about crawling for copyrigted stuff for things like AI, everybody seems super chill about search engines and aggregators ripping off content at industrial scales with zero repercussions.

        I know we all hate AI here… But getting an AI to rewrite headlines to de-sensationalize them sounds like a fantastic feature for a Lemmy client to implement. Just need mods to allow it

          You can always do that manually when creating the post. I do think AI could enforce having a quick summary at a glance… if it was reliably accurate. But again, why do that and prevent traffic from going to the people who did all the work when you can just… you know, go read what the people who made all the work made.

          Ultimately there’s a fundamental problem in an attention-driven economy directed at squishy-brained humans with biased, broken cognitive systems that can be easily exploited.

            True, but you won’t. You’ll click the button that automatically populates it instead.

            Yeah, that’s why I don’t like the summary idea, because then even fewer people would click through. It also requires opening the comments which also most people won’t do.

            I guess fewer people click through with less sensational headlines too, but at least they’re not mislead.

    The article is “Trump truthed” rage bait.

    The “cheating” is on the original USMCA where Canada has imposed steep tariffs on dairy products over a certain quota.
