Summary
Canada launched an ad campaign in the U.S. denouncing Trump’s tariffs as a “tax on hardworking Americans.”
Billboards in 12 states, including key Republican areas, urge Americans to oppose the tariffs, which could cost households over $1,200 annually.
Polls show most Americans fear economic harm from the tariffs, despite Trump’s claim they are a “tax cut.”
Canada is also preparing retaliatory tariffs while rejecting Trump’s repeated calls to annex Canada as the 51st U.S. state. Officials labeled the annexation rhetoric “absurd.”
More-specifically, a regressive tax, one which hits the poor harder.
Yup. I can’t remember if it was Aston-Martin, Rolls-Royce or Ferrari, but they raised their prices by a lot on a whim at some point, and sales actually increased because the price tag was part of the brag.
I think it’s Jaguar. They’re doing a bonkers rebranding right now where you can’t tell what the ads are trying to sell.
I miss what the world looked like when that lame ad was all the rage online. I know it was only months ago, but it feels like a decade.
