yes, the american and mexican economies are tightly linked and any pullback on nafta would be an economic disaster

And the supposed harm done by NAFTA to US manufacturing never really happened. In the 1990s a lot of rust belt jobs either got automated or moved to states with weaker unions and worker protections.

Since I haven't seen anyone post about it in a while, the chemical leak was Hydrogen chloride, not Hydrogen sulfide.

aka hydrochloric acid aka muriatic acid, what you'd use for your swimming pools

much much less toxic, mostly an irritant unless you drank some really concentrated stuff

most likely effects are gonna be eye, respiratory, and skin irritation

edit: yes I realize anhydrous HCl is not the same as acid but for practical purposes it's going to mix with and be dispersed in water and water vapor

Walking into a cloud of it is going to seriously gently caress you up though being real. The 'saving grace' is that it's probably all turning into aqueous hydrochloric and diluting with how moist things are.

Then again, at this point we're mostly just rolling the dice to find out which economic disaster Trump's going to gently caress the country with.

I mean, at the moment we're approaching, all at the same time:

1) A possible debt ceiling showdown
2) Uncertain but potentially much higher gas prices if enough refineries in Houston are affected
3) Sinking oil prices thanks to a lack of refinery demand
4) A president who won't shut the hell up about terminating NAFTA
5) A do-or-die moment for tax reform and cuts that's been the primary source of optimism in the markets since Trump took office

The Houston stuff is pretty ephemeral and things will be back to normal eventually, but it's all coming at a pretty bad time.

self-deprecation is a very british trait, and problems can arise when the british attempt to do so with a foreign culture





a bunch of conservative canadian outlets are cheering the end of nafta because apparently cufta (an earlier us/canada free trade agreement) was never repealed; just made irrelevant by nafta. cufta is also not unilaterally cancellable so trump can't withdraw from it. the theory is cufta is more advantageous than nafta because of stronger protections against punitive tariffs. this of course ignores that trump is just gonna pretend cufta isn't a thing

I don't think so, but he's going to do a lot of damage if this "renegotiation" process drags outs and he keeps insisting that leaving NAFTA is a serious possibility.

I'm really entertained that most of this thread though Trump pardoned Arpaio during the start of Harvey because it'd buried by hurricane news, but then he just straight up comes out and tells everyone he did it because it'd get higher ratings during the hurricane.

If he thinks it'll make him look like a big strong president man in pulling one over on us "difficult" Canadians then that's all that matters to him I'm sure. He's worked for a long time to cast it as the worst deal ever made to his base too. Ironic thing is it's always been progressive types that I can recall that have railed against NAFTA and globalization on this side of the border.

A team of rescuers are suspending operations because they were going to save people, who then shot at them and tried to steal the boats. Guessing maybe it was a fake report and that's why it was taken down?

Leaving NAFTA would be bad for the Kochs and the rest of the GOP Money Mafia. Congress may be very, very concerned about Trump's racism, misogyny, blasphemy, crudeness, threats to make the world glow at night, and sucking Russia's dick, however getting rid of NAFTA is definitely going to gently caress with Tax Cuts and that's when it's time to act.
